% Column environment setup
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% If you have N columns, choose \sepwidth and \colwidth such that
% (N+1)*\sepwidth + N*\colwidth = \paperwidth
% Follow structure to create difference column environments.
\newlength{\sepwidthA} % Seperation distance between comulumns type A
\newlength{\colwidthA} % collumn width type A
\setlength{\sepwidthA}{0.25\paperwidth}
\setlength{\colwidthA}{0.5\paperwidth}
\newcommand{\separatorcolumnA}{\begin{column}{\sepwidthA}\end{column}}
% Second column environment.
\newlength{\sepwidthB}
\newlength{\colwidthB}
\setlength{\sepwidthB}{0.0666\paperwidth}
\setlength{\colwidthB}{0.4\paperwidth}
\newcommand{\separatorcolumnB}{\begin{column}{\sepwidthB}\end{column}}
% You can also use these column commands to create columns inside columns and for creating new column formatting.
% You can also have non even columns by creating more column environments or specifying the width when beginning a column environment.
