The following code chunk demonstrates how to add functions to the current namespace during runtime:
The most commonly used analysis of a series of measurements $x_i = x_1, \dots, x_n$ is calculating the mean value, the minimum, and the maximum as well as the mean deviation:
List environments like itemize can be customized.
\begin{itemize}
\setlength{\itemsep}{0mm}
\item ITEM1
\item ITEM2
\end{itemize}
| Length | Description |
|---|---|
| \topsep | Vertival space before and after list environment |
| \itemsep | Vertical space between lines |
| \parsep | Vertical space between paragraphs inside an item |
| \partopsep | Vertical space before list environment if it starts a new paragraph |
NOTE: You will not be able to modify topsep and partopsep inside a list environment because the space was already added at that point.
NOTE: The default values of these lengths depend on the depth of the list environment.
See Dense Lists for an example how to modify topsep and partopsep
