+%-----------------------------------------------------------
+% Define the column widths and overall poster size
+% To set effective sepwid, onecolwid and twocolwid values, first choose how many columns you want and how much separation you want between columns
+% In this template, the separation width chosen is 0.024 of the paper width and a 4-column layout
+% onecolwid should therefore be (1-(# of columns+1)*sepwid)/# of columns e.g. (1-(4+1)*0.024)/4 = 0.22
+% Set twocolwid to be (2*onecolwid)+sepwid = 0.464
+% Set threecolwid to be (3*onecolwid)+2*sepwid = 0.708
