--------begin example
\documentclass[a0]{a0poster}

% The textpos package is necessary to position textblocks at arbitary
% places on the page.
\usepackage[absolute]{textpos}

% Graphics to include graphics. Times is nice on posters, but you
% might want to switch it off and go for CMR fonts.
\usepackage{graphics,wrapfig,times}
\usepackage{latexsym}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage{verbatim}
% These colours are tried and tested for titles and headers. Don't
% over use color!
\usepackage{color}
\definecolor{DarkBlue}{rgb}{0.1,0.1,0.5}
\definecolor{Red}{rgb}{0.9,0.0,0.1}

% see documentation for a0poster class for the size options here
\let\Textsize\normalsize
\def\Head#1{\noindent\hbox to \hsize{\hfil{\LARGE\color{DarkBlue} 
#1}}\bigskip}
\def\LHead#1{\noindent{\LARGE\color{DarkBlue} #1}\bigskip}
\def\Subhead#1{\noindent{\large\color{DarkBlue} #1}\bigskip}
\def\Title#1{\noindent{\VeryHuge\color{Red} #1}}
\TPGrid[40mm,40mm]{23}{12}      % 3 cols of width 7, plus 2 gaps width 1

\parindent=0pt
\parskip=0.5\baselineskip

\begin{textblock}{23}(0,0)
\Title{Edge Coverings and Segments in
   $\mathcal{H}(
