A: newtxmath \hat{} problem in beamer

kan[Converting Comment To Answer] You may use \usefonttheme{professionalfonts} or, equivalently, pass the option [professionalfonts] to beamer: \documentclass[professionalfonts]{beamer} so that the Beamer's internals do not rewrite the font schemes used.

Thanks to whoever upvoted. One down on the unanswered list.

@Nicola Soon, the flowfram will also be classified under two more topics: poster, magazine. I received a mail saying the change has been committed to the repository. Yay!
 
@JosephWright: Do you have a moment?
 
@MarcoDaniel Yes
 
@JosephWright I am playing with the l3keys package at tried .value_forbidden: it seems I misunderstand the usage (as usual). What I tried is:
 tikz         .code:n       = \xframed__set_framemethod:n { tikz } ,
 tikz         .value_forbidden:                                  ,
and
 tikz          .value_forbidden:          = \xframed__set_framemethod:n { tikz } ,
In both cases I don't get an error. But the the first approach works
 
@MarcoDaniel Only the first one works. I guess the second should issue an error.
 
@JosephWright Yes I did. But the first one doesn't provide an error if I use \usepackage[tikz=foo]{xframed}
 
9:26 AM
@MarcoDaniel Hmm, odd. Can you send me a demo?
 
@JosephWright Yes.

Q: typing in bold font in algorithmic environment

NodameIs there a way to type some words in bold in an algorithmic environment? I want to have the word stop typed, but when I use \STOP, this gives me an error.

I asked this question, but nobody really understood what I was asking. So that's why I am trying to find somebody in the chat, since I think it should be a very easy and short answer to that:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/112322/what-is-the-common-approach-to-include-pictures-figures-from-pdf-files-or-other
@David A general approach for how to include graphics from differents sources
 
@Denis I don't think the question is understandable as it was written. I'm not surprised it got closed. What has PowerPoint got to do with the problem?
@Denis If you are using pdflatex you can just include the jpg directly.
 
@Denis Don't really get it either
@Denis What is the 'source' of the images

Q: \newcommand is not working

Md Kutubuddin SardarI have created some new short command using \newcommand in the following example: \documentclass[12pt,twoside,a4paper]{book} \usepackage[left=.45in,right=.45in,top=.50in,bottom=.50in]{geometry} \usepackage{enumerate,amsmath} \newcommand{\ba}{\begin{array}} \newcommand{\ea}{\end{arra...

 
@David Of course, it was my fault, since I was not clear enough. My problem is that I have figures from different sources with different resolutions. I know how to include graphics and how to give them the right size. But the resolution is everytime different. The source are pdf files.
 
Do we have a canonical question/answer for this?
 
@PauloCereda Wow. That's impressive!
 
10:59 AM
@Denis Bitmaps, then? How are they actually generated?
 
@kan Thanks :-)
 
@Joseph I am using Adobe Reader X to cut it out. It's like a screenshot.
 
@Denis :why not just include the pdf ? There is no need to go via a screendump (but if you are using screendumps they should all be the same resolution, depending on your system) (I'm confused:-)
 
@Denis What makes the PDFs, though?
 
@egreg No, it's not a TeX problem. I think it's a bug with the perl script that accompanied csvtools, but there's no equivalent script with datatool.
 
11:05 AM
@David The screenshot is not always the same size. Some graphics are small and some are big. So if I scale the down or up, every graphic in my paper has a different resolution. The idea with including a pdf sounds exactly what I need. How can I include certain parts from a pdf?
@Joseph I am not sure what you mean...Sorry

Q: Box around minted environment

ArgoI'm using the minted package to produce nice looking java-code but I would like to make a box around the code so it is easier to separate the code from the rest of the document. What is the easiest way to do this? Here is an example of the code I would like be inside a box:

 
@Denis You really don't want to scale bimaps at all, the results are not likely to be good.
 
@Denis If they are screenshots, you'd be better dealing with the sizing at the point of capture, I'd say
 
@JosephWright hello
I'm just reading through your TUGboat article on pgfplots
all my tables so far I did with threeparttable
to have table caption on top, followed by table content, followed by data-source (as part of threeparttable)
how could I do sth equivalent with pgfplots ?
 
@Joseph Thats probably a good approach to deal with my problem.
@David I see the problem. So there is a way to include parts of pdf? If so, I will do some research on that...
 
11:10 AM
from the threeparttable doc: "For figures, there is an equivalent measuredfigure environment. It is fairly fragile though, and should be used only for a single graphic above a single caption."
 
@Denis \fbox{\includegraphics[page=1,viewport=0 0 10cm 10cm,clip]{tb772.pdf}}
 
@David This exactly whta I was looking for! Now all my figures have the same resolution and same size. Thank you very much! It is hard to ask a question if you don't really know what you are looking for, but I will do my best.
 
@Denis I've not managed to ask a question on this site at all yet:-)
 
@David I will keep this in my mind for the next time to do more research. Have a nice day and thank you again for your help.
@Joseph Thank you, too.
 
11:30 AM
Funny. Every time after an answer the unanswered session, the sorting on this page is broken for some time. It seems SX is not prepared for too much disturbance on the unanswered questions front :-)
 
what's the equivalent of threeparttable for plots (figures) ?
regarding the caption-pkg:
is it possible to have the standard-figure caption above the figure
and a "source"-caption beneath, that does not appear in the LOF ?
(like so \caption[]{A figure without list entry.} )
 
!!/battle
@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: The current score is egreg 230 vs. 20 David. So far, egreg is winning.
Wow!
 
how many captions can one put into a figure environment ?
 
i guess about 10 k @nutty
 
hmm
ok, I'll give it a shot then ;)
 
11:43 AM
at least if you allow minipages inside :D
 
no minipage plz
 
Hello all
 
I just want two captions
one regular
one which won't appear in the LOF and is (roughly) footnotesized
 
LOF ?
list of figures?
 
@DavidCarlisle! So nice to know you are around here. yesterday @egreg told me that when you use a \renewcommand inside a table or figure you get a local definition (i.e., what you do inside it won't affect the rest of your document). Does this apply too for longtable?
 
11:45 AM
@nuttyaboutnatty If you just want some footnotesize text after the image, you can just add \footnotesize This is the secondary caption after \includegraphics.
 
@PauloCereda Bom dia meu, parabéns por teres posto a funcionar o PSmith :)

as I'm trying to "figure" out the roadmap/workflow ahead of me: Can anyone tell me if axes-labels, captions and footnotesize-"captions" should (generally) be included in the compiled-and-exported figure-containing-pdf, or should these (which of these ?) be added only around a "naked" imported/inputted figure in the "mother document" ?

@nuttyaboutnatty If I understand your question: The axes labels belong to the plot, so if you have a PDF with the plot, the labels should be a part of that. The captions are part of the text in the 'mother' document.

Guys, does anyone know why there is no indentation on the first paragraph of a chapter, section... ? Who decided this style?
 
@MarioS.E. That's the standard typesetting style.
 
kan
@MarioS.E. Oh, BTW, you have got the package name wrong in your description (it is right in the code, however.)
 
There should also be no indentation the first paragraph after a scene break in fiction.

12:01 PM
@NicolaTalbot Hi! :). yes, I've noticed that... but why did this become standard? I think Spanish does not follow this rule.
 
@MarioS.E. Maybe it's country/language dependent. I think the theory behind it is that an indent is redundant immediately after a heading as it's obviously a new paragraph.
I'll just check up in the Oxford Style Manual.
 
@NicolaTalbot Makes complete sense.
 
@nuttyaboutnatty The TikZ part just replaces whatever graphic you had otherwise
 
@MarioS.E. The Oxford Style Manual just says "It is common not to indent the first paragraph in each chapter, or the first new paragraph following a heading, subheading, or line space."

Mario S. E.How do these flags work? Why are they limited? Are they limited by time, by quantity, or perhaps based on your reputation? Why have I seen posts that say Closed as too localized by X, Y and Z. Does it have any relation?

In one line, would you be willing to share your current reputation | # of available moderator flags | # helpful flags (in your profile) | # of close votes (if you have enough reputation).

hi there
anyone willing to offer first-aid ?
(deadline fast approaching...)
spent some time now trying to get to grips with pgfplots
my needs:
1) scatterplot
2) with text based on text-column next to data points
3) auto-exportable fxn (to avoid re-compilation)
4) a simple up-to-date MWE
(have about 30 data points)
here's a MWE (marginally adapted) from Joseph Wright (2010): paste.ubuntu.com/5635511
(which doesn't yet feature the labels_next-to_data-points_feature)
((and I also had to comment out the export-business, to avoid errors))

@nuttyaboutnatty I'm sorry, I've never used pgfplot.
 
@NicolaTalbot hmm, have you used an alternative? why not?
 
@nuttyaboutnatty I don't often have a need to do scatter plots, but when I do I use dataplot. It's fairly basic, but it comes with datatool.
 
@nuttyaboutnatty Here's an example using dataplot:
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{siunitx}
\usepackage{dataplot}

\begin{filecontents*}{test.csv}
Label,Concentration,Rate
1,338.1,266.45
2,169.1,143.43
3,84.5,64.80
4,42.3,34.19
5,21.1,9.47
\end{filecontents*}

\DTLloaddb{data}{test.csv}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\renewcommand{\DTLplotatendtikz}{%

      maxx   = 400,
 
2:43 PM
wow, thanks!
spontaneous question: why's there *.csv in there, if the data was explicitly included already?
 
@Nicola: another conversion, this time starting with a 4.8Gb folder. :) Let's see how it will end up. :)
 
also: will it need to recompile every time, or does it automatically store (and look for a stored copy of) the previously compiled thing?
 
@nuttyaboutnatty It was the easiest way to write the data. An alternative would be to create the database using commands like \DTLnewdbentry.
@nuttyaboutnatty You'll have to recompile every time.

@PauloCereda If Psmith says so, then I'd better do it! ;-)
 
!!/eightball Speaking of which, do I have backups of your code, Psmith?
@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: The great 8-ball says: by all means.
 
@Paulo Can vim read gzipped text files or do I always have to gunzip them first?
 
after some guessworking I got this to compile (notice I got rid of the (invisible) linebreaking between addplot and coordinates):
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage{pgfplotstable}

% \pgfplotsset{compat=newest}

% \pgfplotsset{compat = newest}

% Preamble: \pgfplotsset{width=7cm,compat=1.8}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[nodes near coords,enlargelimits=0.2]
\addplot+[only marks, point meta=explicit symbolic] coordinates
{
(0.5,0.2) [(1)]
(0.2,0.1) [(2)]
(0.7,0.6) [(3)]
(0.35,0.4) [(4)]
(0.65,0.1) [(5)]
};

\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}
 
@NicolaTalbot Nope, it recognizes them automatically. :)

@PauloCereda Oh cool! I never realised that. Thanks. :-)
 
@NicolaTalbot My pleasure. :)
 
@PauloCereda :)
 
@egreg My dad surprised me yesterday, he wants to see how LaTeX works. :)
 
@PauloCereda Another adept!

@egreg I'm not sure if he'll understand, but in the worst case, he liked LyX. It's a start. :)
 
@PauloCereda Oh, no!
 
@egreg There's time for me to catechize. :)

Hello everybody. Back after a "delicious" dinner.
 
@kan Welcome back!
In the meantime, for those who still don't know, Juventus won the Italian championship. :)
 
kan
Woohoo! Party!
 
@egreg 29th. :)
@egreg: and of course, we will support Napoli against Inter today. :)
Well, I still consider 31 titles. :)
 
@PauloCereda Just wait two more years. ;-)
 
@egreg But then we will have 33. :)

anyone know how to use "/pgfplots/every node near coord" from the pgfplots manual, p86/439 so that the nodes (in the above MWE) are footnotesized ?
