I am trying to enable layout algorithms in CVS-version of PGF.
Following code can be compiled by LaTeX.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz,pgfplotstable}
\usetikzlibrary{graphs}
\begin{document}
\pgfplotstableread{mymatrix}\dataSampleMtx
\tikz \graph {

@paulo Do you have any idea why I hear a very loud sound sometimes when I put in a Linux live DVD or TeX Live DVD into the DVD drive? Is some kind of untarring going on? The sound usually stops after a while.
@JasperLoy I'm not sure, but I think it's just a buffering thingy going on. :) Most recent Linux distros mount the media automatically and provide some features on the content, like thumbnails, preview, etc. :)
@JasperLoy Well, there is a hardware control algorithm working regardless of data and it's usually designed to get the reference marker right on the data track. It even matters how you align the DVD initially but I can't be sure. It can be either reading the same chunk over and over again for error correction or just a warped plastic. So depends on the sound. Do you have a MWE ? :)

@percusse Hehe, none can be provided in this case. It is not easily reproducible. =) You have to be here with me to see for yourself.
Also the data structure matters because the drive is designed to keep the velocity of the data track relatively constant angular velocity is changed depending on the position of the reading head. Normally you have the inner tracks have most of the data so it starts very fast to keep up and slows down later.
such as the local FAT etc. so it needs to read those very quickly.
but if the DVD plastic is warped at higher speeds it starts to resonate making an audible noise.
then things get complicated as in the control algorithm there is a procedure to implement a varying notch filter bla bla some technical mambo jambo.
@JasperLoy I wish :) It's just feeding back the frequency of the disturbance no magic involved.
And that we know from the rotational speed.
The rest is some clever engineering, if you remember the now-dead gadgets of jog-free CD walkmans they had even better algorithms to buffer the songs etc.
@percusse: in other news, when I organize a TUG meeting, I'll put a few consoles and TVs in the hall for TeXers to have fun during breaks. You are in the gaming committee already. :)
@egreg No no it's a common phrase... As most professional Poker players have a Poker Face to hide their bluff or excitement so others can't read it from their face but anyway.... that didn't go as I've planned heheh.
@PauloCereda The principle of Tressette is similar to Bridge, but there are no atout. You must follow suit, the highest rank card wins. But the ranks are, in descending order, 3, 2, A, K, Q, J, 7, 6, 5, 4 (the deck has 40 cards). For the score, the ace counts 1, while 3, 2, K, Q and J count 1/3 (remainder discarded). So the maximum score is 10.
Players are supposed to be silent; the tradition is to use the way to play a card. For example, if the first player slams a card, it means that he/she wants his/her partner to play the highest rank in his/her hand and play again the same suit.
Our decks have 40 cards. And they are different from region to region. The suits are called "spade", "denari", "coppe" and "bastoni" (corresponding to spades, diamonds, hearts and clubs).
I am hitting a bug, pastie.org/5059330, related tex.stackexchange.com/a/77641/2956. I find it hard to find some missing tag or something, ideas for this debug situation? I am using the Emacs validate-TeX etc tools but it suggests "no mismatch" but but it does not check tags, how would you debug this?
@PauloCereda In the movie "Totò, Peppino e i fuorilegge", Totò always wins by guessing the card that Peppino gets from the deck. All cards are "Asso di bastoni".
@egreg: the trick is very clever, actually. The card format is not rectangular, but trapezoidal. :) If you have all cards aligned (with both big and small bases at their corresponding sides), by puting a card in the "other" side, that is, with its small base in the big side, will make the card protrude from the deck - very difficult to see, but easy to feel it with the fingers. :)
I got it very nice https://twitter.com/heoaLov/status/257618062302404609/photo/1, I am unsure whether I should use this many amount of equation -labels, perhaps it does not matter or? Anyway getting no err now, http://pastie.org/5059390, happy about that :)
@Werner I'm never sure if I should edit good additions from comments to my answer (it can be seen as "stealing"). But often the author is going to delete their comment after I implemented the idea.
Moreover, I have a large amount of reputation, so I don't mind give credit to others for using small additions of mine. If need be, you can make a contribution in the edit summary...
After "100 ways to draw a black line in TikZ" there should be "100 ways to typeset an arbitrary character in (La)TeX". And certainly, someday someone will write a package … :/
@halirutan The Mathematica related discussion stems from:
I asked this question here in Mathematica.SE but they encouraged to ask also on this site.
How can make this writing process easier from Mathematica to LaTeX? Please, note that I have a lot of variables and I want to make them visible to the reader, I am not much interested how but not over th...
@Qrrbrbirlbel Yes but $h$ is a key term that I want to emphasize, I even considered adding there extra parenthesis to make it more clear from other vars.
@Qrrbrbirlbel If you read forward, you can see that I call other junk with dummy vars later to make $h$ more distinct.
I know it is confusing with square-roots but not knowing better way to make it distinct and less loaded
(When I stopped using too many pars, it was much easier to debug... and fix mistakes at the cost of readability ofc in a way)
@hhh Huh, I see. You could use bold/colored maths, but I don't recommend it. You could at least introduce a little space \, before the "important" variables.
Is there something like lipsum package but for the analytic index?
