How the files arrive

The class is part of TeX Live 2026, which Papers compiles with, so nothing is copied: your paper gets our starter files (main.tex and a refs.bib with one example citation).

Format

One column, the SPIE proceedings layout

The venue's own instructions are the rule: www.spie.org/conferences-and-exhibitions/authors-and-presenters/format-your-manuscript.
