@percusse The problem is I want to plot local error in solving a DE vs. the value of the independent variable. But, I have 3 co-ordinates, so what command would I use to plot these coordinates? scatterplot?
@KannappanSampath Well it's a typical look i can do this type of stuff. I would just take the max of the modulus of the error (or 2-norm) and say it's accurate up to that value
It might barely make sense if you are introducing an additional term at a specific instance, say t=5, a step input appears and your derivatives go wild. Maybe then you need to check your errors but still plotting it won't make much difference.
Or if you are checking the error zero convergence rate.
Hopefully my answer below is still useful for you and others, especially for Windows users.
Theory
Once you have had a PDF output, you need to convert it to PNG by using the following batch file named pdf2png.bat. It is convenient to register the batch path to the system variable.

@texenthusiast: Don't forget to up vote if it is useful for you.
In a single run you will get 4 separate files as follows,
a GIF animation
a PDF animation
a MP4 video
a slide that contains a PDF animation and imports a MP4 video as shown in the figure below

@Karl'sstudents Thanks a lot. In my thesis i did some tikz example, i made it for this question. Thought of making a gif but it will do it later as its very simple. I use both windows and linux and hence need multiplatform
@Karl'sstudents ok then take care see you . all the best hero
@NicolaTalbot There are two similar questions regarding gregorio by a Windows user: tex.stackexchange.com/q/103288 and follow-up tex.stackexchange.com/q/103517 It seems, that the install routine wants to install into a hardcoded path /usr/local/texlive/2010basic/texmf-local.
@egreg That's great, thanks. I think they ought to put gregorio on CTAN. Or at the very least put the gregorio package files there, even if they don't put the actual application there. It would make it easier to test the gregorio-LaTeX related questions without having to install the application.
I'd like to add more space between the cells of the table below. I've tried the command [2ex] after \\ but this changes the vertical alignment, which I'd like to be centered.

How do you guys go about controlling column padding in tables?

To clarify, I'm looking for a way to control both vertical and horizontal padding. So, if I had a simple table like this

@Karl'sstudents Hi, is it possible for you to send the first line of any of your .log file in MiKTeX so that i can add it in my meta answer meta.tex.stackexchange.com/a/3381/15717 . I don't have MiKTeX. Does any one run MiKTeX on Linux ? i think it was available few years ago ?
@Karl'sstudents no. for example on TeXLive on Linux , its like this "This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-1.40.13 (TeX Live 2012) (format=pdflatex 2013.3.21)"
@Karl'sstudents the first line does not change , i want that line.
@Karl'sstudents ok i will work on windows Texlive2012, no problem
@Karl'sstudents Thanks thats it. the first line tells the OS, TeXdistro
@Karl'sstudents it would include when it was updated also , see mine for example
@Karl'sstudents in my master's convocation a Neuroscientist was invited as guest, He demonstrated that our brain can read like your image post above, it was first time i saw the magics.
@Karl'sstudents my idea in all this work is to decode the OP's OS and TeXdistro so as to help him better if he can provide the first line of .log file. I hope this is not a privacy breach
I'd like to show off some (La)TeX capabilities in an introductory webpage. Has anyone got a short math formula for me that looks impressive but yet short and "easy to understand"?
(I don't know much about math - even though I should :))
@Karl'sstudents if you worked with parametric equations it might be a little easier- could get similar output (the equations would be different though)
I want to include a tikzpicture (mindmap) in beamer and I want, that the childs appear one after another.
So I use \visible but it don't works -- also not with \pause command. I get errors regarding forgotten semicolons. When I insert semicolons, not the hole mindmap is created.
Is there an eas...
@cmhughes Although I don't like animations, it will surely draw attention to the solution. I'll keep a reference to the page and put it on the (to be created) tikz page. Thanks!
@DavidCarlisle Well it was fascination before about xii.tex now also a huge admiration too. I have partial ideas how you might end up with those decisions but it's truly beautiful. I've made a long list of definitions until the last big recursion. If you wish I can send it to you when I'm done :)
@percusse well it helps of course that it's a very recursive song, so I started out with a fairly simple double loop, one for the verses and one to generate the lines in each verse, and after that just messed around and obfuscated it a bit by hand until it looked nice:-)
@DavidCarlisle Still making a tight package as such is great! It took me quite a while to understand what's going on with U command :) It's really fun.
I didn't know the \def\mymacro#1{\catcode`#113\def} trick before. So it's quite entertaining.
You can use \standalonefalse to specify the parent document for which all sub-documents should be considered sub-documents, I think.
Is it possible to re-enable standalone with something like \standalonetrue after a \standalonefalse call?

My comment is of course dubious in that I ask if he understands what I wrote... How should I else communicate this out? Also, I felt like this was the best message I could get across without being "the angry user", for future any feedback on wording is appreciated (English is not my native tongue, so sometimes my wording is a bit off)
@zeroth I'd prefer if you vote purely on each question, so if you feel that the question deserves a downvote then say so. The mods are aware of the user and the pattern, and may take some action (@MartinScharrer, @StefanKottwitz: any thoughts?)
One day I'll right a decent table heading code (unless @StephanLehmke wants to take over:-)
Ah well that's a bit tricky, the standard way in TeX to pass information from the document body to the head is to use \mark You can use marks in longtable (but longtable table heads are a fixed box so can not use them) but you can't use marks in supertabular as far as I can see as the table body is in a box already. perhaps someone who knows supertabular better may be able to pick this up. — David Carlisle1 min ago
@AndrewStacey “The author of the following diagram was young and needed the money.” @topskip Oder: „Denn er wusste nicht, was er tat.“ (Do not know this in proper English) Smilie omitted
@StephanLehmke yes that may be the thing to do in longtable (the OP is actually using supertabular so the table body is a (sequence of) normal latex tabulars so in about 100 levels of box so marks are nor really an option. But I can't point him at longtable because there they are almost an option but don't work:-)
@DavidCarlisle Oh, that is dated in UTC, probably referring to the Text Case. Yeah, your solution works great, just seemed too magical to me at first. Now it is only slightly magical.
@egreg I edited the tag wiki: In the excerpt links are not respected. One could see ["Gregorio"](http://home.gna.org), but not "Gregorio". My edit is now in peer review because of my (not-)reputation.
@NicolaTalbot Did you notice Enrico’s answer to his name relative software? He already two years ago provided a solution for the erroneus install.py: tex.stackexchange.com/a/14384 (Oh there was an edit some months later.)
@Speravir Thanks, I hadn't noticed that one. The problem my brother was having was solved by editing gregoriotex.tex but he couldn't save the changes in /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/gregoriotex
@egreg He says he's set as an administrator. Would he just be able to do sudo texworks /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/gregoriotex/gregoriotex.tex with his user password? (Sorry, I don't know anything about Mac's.)
The first sudo command asks for the password, then you can use it for some minutes without needing to supply it.
However, copying the file in ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/gregoriotex/gregoriotex.tex is simpler and doesn't require texhash
The path should be complete; if gregoriotex.tex is to be used also with Plain TeX, then ~/Library/texmf/tex/generic/gregoriotex/gregoriotex.tex is better.
@PauloCereda Do you want me to record the whole thing and put it on my google drive and you can play with it if you like? (I used audacity to record it, but I can also export to ogg, mp3 etc).
@NicolaTalbot Great! And I’m sure there is someone who will be a good help for him – at least by pointing him to a great introduction written by a well-known person. ;-)
