@PauloCereda Poeni am gyfieithu :-).
@DavidCarlisle I need the former. Definitely. I hope that's what my code now does .... I'm just not totally convinced.

Hello everyone,

I stumbled before across an answer by @JLDiaz where he drew the summation circle similar to this one https://imgur.com/arQV0fx but with a colored background.

I would be grateful if anyone could refer me to that answer or another similar one.
 
@cfr ooh
@egreg ooh
@boycott.se-yo' in a hurry but fine. :) And you? :)

@DavidCarlisle Yes, I have achieved it. If inkscape is an environment variable it works fine.
So I created to honor your package:
% arara: pdflatex: {shell: yes}

\RequirePackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{USA.svg}
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="1235" height="650" viewBox="0 0 7410 3900">
    <rect width="7410" height="3900" fill="#b22234"/>
    <path d="M0,450H7410m0,600H0m0,600H7410m0,600H0m0,600H7410m0,600H0" stroke="#fff" stroke-width="300"/>
    <rect width="2964" height="2100" fill="#3c3b6e"/>
    <g fill="#fff">
 
@PauloCereda quite similar. I'm getting near the end of my appartment reconstruction hopefully!
 
@boycott.se-yo' ooh!

@JosephWright I did got it right that the new time slot is the same as last monday?
 
@UlrikeFischer Yes
 
@JosephWright Good, I always fear to get the time zone wrong ;-) Btw: l3benchmark is useful (and datatool is sloooow).
 
10:10 AM
@UlrikeFischer :)
@UlrikeFischer I'll push to move it to stable: I think we should simply add it to the kernel code
 
10:34 AM
Hello
 
ooh there's a cactus here
 
Is anyone in here good with numprint?
 
@Magisch hi mr. cactus!
 
Hi Mr. Duck :D
I have a quandary. I have a Latex template being filled with numbers from a sql data source and then compiled into a report. As a result of that, I'm using numprint for numbers quite a bit. In the end this looks something like that {\npthousandsep{.}\numprint{<Amount>}. Now the problem is the numbers are heterogen, so sometimes like 2000 and sometimes like 250.22 or something. I'd like for extraneous decimal places to be cut off
so 2500.00 shows as flat 2500 while 250.22 shows as 250.22
I tried adding \npreplacenull{ } but that made 2500.00 into 2500.
 
@Magisch Can you switch to siunitx?
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[zero-decimal-to-integer=true]{siunitx}

\begin{document}

\num{2000.00}


\num{2000.22}

\end{document}
 
10:48 AM
That's interesting
@samcarter Let me try that for a sec
 
@samcarter we could have a cactus too
 
I'm not actually a cactus, just a cactus shaped drier plushie :P
 
ooh a disguised cactus
 
11:51 AM
@PauloCereda I'm worried that a cactus might not interact well with the balloon: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/46222859#46222859
 
@samcarter oh no
 
@samcarter It's ok, I'm not prickly enough to pop a baloon
 
@Magisch Oh good to hear! I'm relieved!
 
12:15 PM
@JosephWright yes. The documentation should perhaps mentioned that one doesn't need to double argument hashes inside \benchmark:n.
 
@samcarter don't worry, I have a badge, and it's got a pin
 
@DavidCarlisle ooh
 
Where do this "(TeX Live 2019/dev/Debian) " come from?
 
@DavidCarlisle That sounds dangerous, can I ask to please stay at least 1 metre away from any balloon-carrying marmot?
 
@UlrikeFischer I saw that in a question yesterday:-) I guess Norbert is allowed to get ahead of himself, seems a bit scary though.

Hmm
 
12:42 PM
@DavidCarlisle I saw it more than once now, and the question you probably mean shows a segfault in the comments.
 
@UlrikeFischer oops
 
1:33 PM
@DavidCarlisle I sent a message to the texlive list.
 
1:44 PM
I have solved tex.stackexchange.com/questions/460298/… together with the OP in chat, the solution was to remove the command redefinitions that the OP did not need anyway (they were copy-pasted from the internet without a good reason)
shall I close the question? with which close reason? or provide an answer?
 
@Marijn If you think it will be useful for someone else, an answer is very welcome. Otherwise you can ask if OP wants an answer...
 
well, it is useful in the sense that people should be aware that copying code from the internet can be problematic
other than that the problem and the solution are rather trivial
 
@Marijn Perhaps a list of "I removed <this> because of <that>" so that people can follow what you did.
@Marijn Just an idea :-)
 
@PhelypeOleinik that sounds ok, I think I'll go ahead :)

@AlanMunn huuum no mention of Nutella pizza
 
 
1 hour later…
3:34 PM
@PauloCereda ... because this is a so-called oxymoron ....
 
@marmot oh
 
@PauloCereda Isn't it ooh?
@ChristianHupfer Hello!
 
@marmot ooh a conundrum
 
@PauloCereda Where? Can one eat it?
 
@marmot oh no
Who's on first. :)
 
3:45 PM
@PauloCereda My computer.
 
@marmot oh

Hey, is there a simple command for adding a frame in lightgray around a "svg-picture"?

(Preferably without "inner sep". BTW: I think, it is better to do that within the svg-code; TikZ would be clear to me.)
% arara: pdflatex: {shell: yes}
% arara: cleanx: { extensions: [aux, bcl, log, synctex(busy) ] }

\RequirePackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.svg}
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
    <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
    <!-- This file is in the public domain (PD-Flag-Germany) -->
    <svg
    width="1000"
    height="600"
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
    viewBox="0 0 10 6">
PS: Don't use arara: cleanx - you will not have it! Sry...
 
6:22 PM
@cis Can't you just put the includesvg in a node of a tikzpicture?
 
@marmot or an \fbox
 
@DavidCarlisle meeting tomorrow at Oxford?
 
@DavidCarlisle Yes, if one know all the tricks to make it light gray. I'm sure you do but I would not know if a, say, \textcolor command has implications on the svg stuff.
 
cis
@marmot @David Soluions with LaTeX are clear. I asked myself, if there is a possibility with svg.
 
@PauloCereda I don't know, I only go for the free lunch and if we are going to the pizza place I think we are going to there is neither Nutella nor pineapple on the menu, so what's the point?
 
6:25 PM
@DavidCarlisle we could blame the secretary
 
@marmot \color{grey}\fbox{...} doesn't take much of a trick
 
@DavidCarlisle Yes, but are you sure that the contents won't become gray, too?
 
cis
I am sure, @UlrikeFischer knows that... :()
But she will not say to me. She wants to let suffer me.
 
@cis This would require @DavidCarlisle and myself to look at the manual, which we try to avoid. ;-)
 
@marmot fairly certain but \color{grey}\fbox{...}(as it's including a pdf not an text) but you could add \color{black} inside the box if you are worried about that.
 
6:28 PM
I hope I get less trouble with UPS than I had with DHL...
 
cis
@marmot Ok, some times there are marvelous svg-experts there.
 
@DavidCarlisle See, that's why I was suggesting TikZ. ;-)
@cis Oh, you mean both of them? ;-)
 
@marmot We ducks are very good at random subjects
 
cis
@marmot Äh, yes... äh both of what?
 
@cis yes sure just add something like <rect height="6" width="10" style="stroke:#999999" x="0" y="0"/> but the details depnd on whether you want to pt it inside your 0 0 10 6 boundingbox or to extend the bounding box
 
cis
6:32 PM
@DavidCarlisle Ok, one moment.
@DavidCarlisle @marmot

Ah ok. I've been worried that there may not be a "general" svg-solution, if the solution depends on the image's properties / dimensions.

This speaks on the other side for TikZ or `\ usetikzlbrary {backgrounds}`.

`\fbox` works, but I would have to find out first how to eliminate the "inner sep".´
 
@PauloCereda I see @JosephWright makes it into Norbert's list of all time top contributors:-)
 
@DavidCarlisle I was going to mention that! :)
 
cis
@DavidCarlisle PS: But I think, I can use your svg-solution, because these flags should have all the same dimensions.
But only not such a fat frame... ;)
 
@cis you can of course set the stroke width but I'd have to check the property name, it looks fat as your default image is only 10ptx6pt so the default (I think) 1pt stroke width will seem rather large (despite what @marmot said above I didn't need to check the manual for that bit so far:-)
@PauloCereda Of course some people get their packages right first time and don't need to keep re-submitting them.
 
@DavidCarlisle Exactly. :)
 
cis
6:43 PM
@DavidCarlisle I think, I can check that out. Very good so far!
 
@DavidCarlisle: like @egreg, right? Such brilliant package author.
 
\setbox\fboxsep{0pt} or use \frame instead of \fbox (unless you are in beamer:-) (@cis)
@PauloCereda he has so few packages he hardly counts as an author, more an apprentice.
 
@DavidCarlisle ooh
 
@cis it is stroke-width: 0.2; you need (or whatever width you want)
 
6:58 PM
@JosephWright all your current SI units are wrong, I see in the news:-)
 
cis
7:16 PM
@DavidCarlisle @DavidCarlisle Ah, very good. I used
<rect height="6" width="10" style="stroke:#999999;stroke-width:5%;"  x="0" y="0"/>
 
7:36 PM
@DavidCarlisle Yes. The moles are to be taken from the tikzlings package. ;-)
 
8:21 PM
@DavidCarlisle :)
 
8:55 PM
@marmot you should be impressed by the answer I just posted

@PauloCereda What should 'Zweck an sich selbst' be in Welsh? That's my main remaining serious worry.
