LaTeX package conflicts are a common source of frustration: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6). To quote Freek Dijkstra:
Package conflicts in LaTeX are a hell.

@topskip it usually comes out half way through the year:-) Actually you might want 2013 as that incorporates all the changes needed in lua code when luatex went from lua x.y to x.y+1 and broke everything:-)
@N3buchadnezzar It was supposed to look like this but my control points and Andrew's hobby code had a minor disagreement (or at least I think I'm using Andrew's code, i just stole something from an answer)

That picture mode would be the ideal tool for the job here:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{picture}(200,100)
\put(30,40){\line(1,0){150}}
\put(30,40){\line(0,1){60}}
\put(30,100){\line(...
@jonalv I think it depends on your document, how complex it is, your TikZ pictures, how complex they are, your mood, your deadline, your patience, and so on. :)
@jonalv The answers input the diagram with \input which as with any part of the text file you can use or not use according to taste, tex really doesn't see input hardly at all except for keeping track of line numbers for error messages. In comments there was a suggestion to use standalone, that is different thing, making each tikz into a pdf and including it, as a graphic can speed things up if you only need to make the image once and run latex hundreds of times) but it all depends..
well I want to explain things both with figures and text so feels natural to have them both in the same file. I am just wondering if I am missing something obvious...
@jonalv Nothing, unless you get two tikz figures on the same page with 1000000 nodes each and you hit some tex limit, then you can process them as separate files and pull them back in as \includegraphics and carry on.
@DavidCarlisle Of course, since usually it is 0pt plus 0.1pt, the fill glue in \baselineskip will override it. But one never knows what the perverse mind of parskippers can concoct.
@FaheemMitha The new years resolution is to get a tikz gold badge by answering tikz question with tex primitives, picture mode, or if really pushed pstricks, doing quite well so far this year.
I'm deeply impressed that people are willing to implement decorations for math formulas with complicated TikZ code. Back in the day, my 200+ page PhD thesis used to take 45min to compile on a Sun Sparc ELC Workstation mainly because I had some pretty crappy implementation of frequently used math operators using \text a lot. Today it would probably take 30 seconds, but current PhD theses will be at 45min again because of implementing math operators with TikZ...
There are many packages for typesetting algorithm (with pseudo-code). My question is that which package should I use? Which one(s) is (are) obsolete and must not be used?
As an analogy to make my question easier to digest, we have 2 packages for importing graphics: graphics and graphicx but we should use graphicx ratther than graphics as the former is more modern with key-value support.
In my rough intuition, I think I have to use algorithmix because every package with x seems to be the newest one. For example: graphicx (the newest version of graphics), siunitx (the newest of siunit), xcolor (the newest of color), so I think algorithmix is the newest of any other algorithm package. Is my intuition wrong?
By the way, what does the number 2533 below my name on the left represent?
A new breakthrough from Microsoft: TypeScript is a syntactic sugar for JavaScript. TypeScript syntax is a superset of Ecmascript 5 (ES5) syntax. Every JavaScript program is also a TypeScript program.
