%
% DESCRIPTION
%
% This is a LaTeX style file designed for use by Ph.D. students at
% UTA.  There is another style file (thesis.sty) for the same purpose 
% but it seems to be outdated in terms of graduate school requirements.
% This file used thesis.sty as a template, but MUCH has been changed.
%
% It is assumed that others who use this file will want to make
% modifications and improvements.  Such enhancements are encouraged
% and there is a place below set aside specifically for documenting
% such actions.
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
% MODIFICATIONS
% The original utaphd.sty file has been again modified (July 21, 2003) to utathesis.sty by 
% Vasant K. Prabhu (prabhu@uta.edu) to conform to EE Department requirements;
% (a) Copyright page has been added;
% (b) A dedication page has been added;
% (c) A biographical statement page has been added.

% FLOATS, ETC.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% The graduate school requirements for tables and figures (float) are:
%   1. triple space between float any text
%   2. triple space between any caption/heading and text
%   3. double space between caption and float
%   4. floats in appendices don't go in table of contents
%
% FOR FIGURES
%   1. Caption is below figure
%   2. Captions end with a period
%
% FOR CENTERED TABLES
%   1. TABLE # appears centered above the heading
%   2. Heading is centered above table in all caps and no period
%   3. Table of contents entries are NOT all caps
%
% FOR FLUSH-LEFT TABLES
%   1. Heading is above table
%   2. Heading has form: Table #. Heading Text (with no period)
%
% OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
% Since \baselinestretch has been changed to obtain double-spacing,
% the contents of tables get double-spaced as well.  The environments
% below have been change to make contents of floats single-spaced and
% to provide correct spacing.
%
% A new environment called TABLE has been defined for use with
% centered tables.  A caption command appearing within the TABLE
% environment will produce the graduate school-like heading.
