Emergency tex question: how do I change the font size in the labels of a pdfplots table? Anyone?
Presentation first thing in the morning I need done.
 
@Canageek By 'labels' do you mean for ticks or for other stuff?
 
@JosephWright axis lables, and text in node
I think I got it though, all the text got bigger
but now I need to figure out who to change the dimensions in standalone
 
2:42 AM
@JosephWright Do you know much about standalone? I'm fighting to get it to give me a high res 16:9 image....
 
@Canageek I know a bit
 
Geeze this manual is balls
I'm very much considering going back to excel....

Seems appropriate. :)

@egreg Do you know how I would resize windows on Mac using keyboard?
I remember that something similar to what cmd + arrow used to work but it doesn't seem to anymore...
 
9:17 AM
@kan I've always used the mouse.
 
9:31 AM
@kan <W-Left> works in W!@#^^s to resize the window on the left half of the screen, but I dunno about Mac of course :)
 
9:49 AM
@AlanMunn quite :)

Hey guys, which macro holds List of Algorithms title?
Oh got it: \listalgorithmname :)
 
12:56 PM
> ack 'List of Algorithms' $(kpsewhich algorithm2e.sty)
\renewcommand{\listalgorithmcfname}{List of Algorithms}%
@PauloCereda It depends on what package you refer to.
 
@egreg Oh. :)
@egreg svmono strikes again. :)
 
@PauloCereda There's no \listalgorithmname in svmono.cls
 
@egreg Oopsie.
@egreg: algorithm + algpseudocode
 
> ack 'List of' $(kpsewhich algorithm.sty)
\newcommand{\listalgorithmname}{List of \ALG@name s}
 
@egreg Oh my!
You are pw0ning me in terminal. :P
 
1:03 PM
@PauloCereda I discovered ack some years ago.
 
@egreg You introduced me to it, no more grep for me. :)
 
@egreg good for finding lines without % I assume.
 
@DavidCarlisle The best. ;-)
@DavidCarlisle As you've seen, Werner invaded my playground.

@Werner I am in charge of finding missing %. ;-)

@egreg I remember some keyboard magic... :(
 
@kan If I recall correctly, you need to assign a shortcut to window zoom in the system preferences. But it only works for vertical resizing, I guess.
 
@egreg Good thing I closed one recent question that had exactly this problem.
...gotta get ahead of those easy-to-persue rep \@gobbles....
 
 
2 hours later…
5:49 PM
@PauloCereda I don't think so! W-left and w-right tile the active window to half the screen, W-down and w-up restore and maximise (and a second w-down minimises). The Shift-W-left/right moves the window from one monitor to another.
 
@Brent.Longborough Oh I believe he was talking about Mac affairs. :)
 
 
1 hour later…
7:07 PM
@Speravir Hi, I did call it "imgconvert" instead of "convert" because the later is a windows FAT32 to NTFS conversion tool and I wanted to be on the save side here ....
But, I can have a look at it when I find time.
 
@MartinScharrer: Hi Martin! Long time no see! :)
 
@PauloCereda hi
I'm keeping busy
 
7:29 PM
@MartinScharrer Finishing your dissertation(?)...
...or is that finished?
Or am I wrong?
 
@Werner I got my PhD in May 2012
just busy at work
 
@MartinScharrer ...and having to fend off my flags. :-|

@MartinScharrer Belated congrats.
 
9:01 PM
Hi. I'm generating multiple copies (right now, 2) of a letter with minor variations using datatool. I just realised that if I'm printing it double-sided. and if the number of pages is odd, then the last page of the first letter is back to back with the first page of the second letter. Is there a good way to handle this? Is this question suitable for the main site?
 
9:22 PM
@MartinScharrer Did you forget how to procrastinate?
 
9:39 PM
Is this explicit enough, or do I need to add a mwe?

Q: Adding blank pages when generating multiple copies of a document

Faheem MithaI'm generating multiple copies (right now, 2, but a general solution would be nice) of a letter with minor variations using datatool. I just realised that if I'm printing it double-sided. and if the number of pages is odd, then the last page of the first letter is back to back with the first page...

@DavidCarlisle see my comment.
 
I heard Jacques Brel's famous song Amsterdam being sung... in Dutch. Quite odd. :)
 
@FaheemMitha I think your question is a duplicate:

Q: How to make a pagebreak that goes to the next double sided page?

kopsI am writing a problem set for which the professor has mandated that each problem be submitted on a separate sheet (or sheets). To save some paper, I would like to print double-sided. Thus my question: Is there a way to make LaTeX automatically break to the next new sheet of paper, so that in pa...

@FaheemMitha Or even more pointed:

Q: How I can automatically add a page if the total number of pages is odd?

OSjerickI need automatically add a blank page (also without document header, numbering and footer) at the end of the document, if the total numbers of pages is odd. How I can do that? And preferably without using any additional package. :)

 
@AlanMunn Ok. So \cleardoublepage will always work? If the number of pages is even it is a no-op?
OK, that does seem conclusive. Shall I delete the question?
 
@FaheemMitha Or we'll just close it as a duplicate. That's probably better.
 
@egreg: Go Juve! :)
 
9:46 PM
@FaheemMitha not a no-op, it always forces a new page, and flushes floats, it then adds a blank page if needed to get to an odd page
 
@PauloCereda A bit of luck. ;-)
 
@egreg In Portuguese we have an expression, sorte de campeão. :)
 
@DavidCarlisle ok
 
@PauloCereda ;-)
 
@AlanMunn OK, if that is better, then I won't delete it. If you want me to delete it, let me know.
Thanks.
Sorry about the noise.
 
9:53 PM
@FaheemMitha well at least it was about TeX, not about some football game
 
@DavidCarlisle :P
 
@DavidCarlisle Hey! I configured my iPad to ping me Juve results. :)
 
@PauloCereda bad choice :p
 
@PauloCereda Is it watching the game and having a beer for you?
 
@tohecz Hey! :)
@percusse Sir... is that you?!
OMG
@percusse No app shall take my beer!
 
9:56 PM
@percusse It's probably eaten all his pringles
 
@PauloCereda try and guess what my choice would be :p
 
@DavidCarlisle: ^^
@tohecz No idea. :)
 
@PauloCereda Hint: They have a Czech goalkeeper
 
@tohecz Chelsea! :)
 
@DavidCarlisle I think so too. But also cricket is not the optimal game to have beer with, you might really get obese after one game if combined with snacks.
 
9:58 PM
@percusse: Aleksandr Lyapunov? :)
 
@PauloCereda Bingo
 
@PauloCereda oh yeah! I think that Chelsea is the most popular European club in the Czech Rep.
 
Damn you Google images
 
@percusse I wub you sir.
<3
@tohecz And three Brazilians. :)
Wrong name. :)
Александр Михайлович Ляпунов
WUT
 
@PauloCereda yeah. But Čech was divine in the last match
 
10:01 PM
@DavidCarlisle I assume that is a good thing?
 
@tohecz :)
 
@PauloCereda I know, as a half-Parisian, I should have preferred PSG, but ... I simply can't :p
 
@tohecz :)

11:21 PM
@FaheemMitha I don't know. If Psmith was here we could get him to suggest TeX football or ducks as a subject of conversation... (@PauloCereda ^^)
 
@DavidCarlisle Actually, I thought people here talked about cricket.
 
@FaheemMitha @egreg's trying to learn, but I think he's better at finding %s
 
@DavidCarlisle %s ?

@PauloCereda there are three types of people: (1) Those who think: "Oh, you can cite other chat messages." (2) Those who think: "Oh, you can cite other chat messages," and cite one. (3) And then there's @PauloCereda ...
 
@tohecz <3
 
@PauloCereda :)
 
If only dead people understand hexadecimal, how many people understand hexadecimal?
 
@DavidCarlisle @AlanMunn The \cleardoublepage thing isn't working. I stick that just before end document, right?
Like this, yeah?

A: How I can automatically add a page if the total number of pages is odd?

David CarlisleLike this? \documentclass[twoside]{article} \begin{document} one \cleardoublepage \end{document} Or you could use this version \makeatletter \def\emptycleardoublepage{\clearpage\if@twoside \ifodd\c@page\else \thispagestyle{empty}% \hbox{}\newpage\if@twocolumn\hbox{}\newpage\fi\fi\fi} \ma...
