@egreg It's sunny here, but I'm quite sleepy. I went to bed at 0:40, woke up at 1:10, and decided to do something since I was unable to sleep. Now it pays off :(
@egreg and moreover, I've got to use a bad LaTeX template for a while, which sucks :(
@egreg yep. It sucks if a quite top-level bunch of journals uses so bad stuff :( In the manual, eqnarray* is mentioned, but not with the warning not to use it :(
@tohecz But \colon instead of : has a very precise objective (not making the colon into a relation symbol); the thin space is optional, provided the usage is consistent.
@tohecz It looks odd because of the alignment to = that hides the main part, that is the names of the sets. I guess a \left \right are being used, so you get two thin spaces between { and (.
@tohecz Train arriving in two minutes. See you later.
I am using Texmaker editor. On the (Source Viewer) window when I want to jump to the editor side, it does not work with me, (by doing right click then “Click to jump to the line Ctrl+Click”). How I can make this command work with me?
@Jake Do you know how to upsample data in a convenient way? I created a colormap and used it on the addplot color based on sign question. But it keeps track of the last known point (obviously). Do you have any ideas on that? Here is some code
@tohecz if you're typesetting yes, but if you also want to put the range into some search tool, (or it came from there) a single ascii - might be easier to manage than an endash or two --
what could be possible fail when this does not work? pdflatex -aux-directory="C:/temp" -output-directory="C:/temp" (seems that these flags were ignored)
Mhh, the problem is I have to work on a server from now on and it takes 300% of the time now to generate a pdf. Does it help if I wouldn't delete all output files after a pdf is generated?
@Serthy Little hint: adress people by adding the @-sign in front of their names (you can tab-complete).
@Serthy LaTeX needs those auxiliary files in the next run (to get a toc/lof/lot ...).
@Serthy There are tools like latexmk or arara that can compile the document with the needed steps (one call of arara can lead to multiple calls of latex) and later clean the directory.
@MomoTh oh I have seen the question. Well, it quite fits into the category "do it for me". The point is, we can "do it for you", but this way, you don't learn anything, and that's something we don't like.
@MomoTh well, in all honesty, is there any difference between somebody drawing the cable for you, or you taking this wikicommons CC-BY-3.0-licensed (i.e. free to use) picture? commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Coaxial_cable_cutaway.svg
@MomoTh I do understand your point. However, understand that you won't really learn anything if we give you the solution straight. You need to get to learn the techniques.
@MomoTh there are true 3d tools for TikZ, but I'm sorry, I don't really know them :(
@MomoTh well, I think that now you need to turn your code into a full minimal example, then you'll quite likely get a helping hand. But as @Johannes_B says, it may take some time. And in general, we aren't really happy with people saying "I need this and that quick please", which is exactly how your question originally looked like.
@tohecz can you please stop complaining??? i dont really care if you are happy or not! i need help if you can help than do it if not than be quite please
Hi everybody! I got another one of those pgfplots "Dimension too large" questions... I read about 15 questions and answer about the topic, but I really cannot find the problem. Should I still ask this as a question or look for another place to find help?
@MomoTh well, you may not care if I am happy, but I suppose that you care if all the other people that are able to help are happy and willing to help. Period.
@tohecz i dont care if you or the other people are happy or not. every one is some times happy some times sad! i m sad now i need help if you help me i would be happy if not i will be happy too cauz i tried my best! you are maybe sad now cauz i need help but you will be happy dont worry
@Johannes_B I wouldn´t know where. I don´t do any calculations (pgfplots sure does, but I don´t tell it explicitly). All the axis limits and data points look right...
@MomoTh Sorry, I was just trying to give a well-meant honest advice. If you don't want my advice, it's your choice. But by not listening to it, I don't think you get any progress. (And this is my last message to that, this discussion starts to be pointless and it's on the edge of a troll.)
@PaulPaulsen Well, you can get this for some divisions. It's very difficult and almost impossible to debug, and it's one of the few things that make pgf a bad engine... :-/
@tohecz Making them bigger or smaller? Because if I make them smaller, the relative differences between the data points probably get to small, don´t they?
@PaulPaulsen ah damn, I didn't notice that the range is actually so short! Well, that's the problem. Then: have you tried shifting the data to be around zero? If that works, then the question is only: how to print the labels correctly ;)
@PaulPaulsen This is an interesting problem. You should prepare a thoughtful minimal example and ask a question on the main site. It might be helpful to other users.
@PaulPaulsen well, it's just an idea, coming from the fact that the problem here probably is that the ratio <step in the graph> : <the absolute position> is a technical 0 in pgf.
@tohecz When I strip the first part of the numbers, so they result in 0.xxxx it works. So probably the numberyou suggested exceeds the upper limit of TeX.
I will post they question, if you want to answer it please feel free to do so. Otherwise I will add a wiki-answer later.
@PaulPaulsen
It should be noted that all calculations must not exceed ±16383.99999 at any point, because the underlying computations rely on TeX dimensions.
@PaulPaulsen So jap, the number is too large. But i am with @tohecz that relabeling the axis is the interesting part.
@Johannes_B But I think an answer suggesting to change the datapoints should also adress this. In my case its not that hard, because I label them manually...
Probably x coord trafo or x coord inv trafo are the things to look for, since they also should take care of the ticks...
I export plots using matlab2tikz and pgfplots from MATLAB to TeX. Most of my plots contain "serial date numbers", which are the days since January 0, 0000. As you can guess, the numbers get quite high, and the difference between the data points is relatively small.
The following sample raises a ...
Hm, the problem seems to be the x-limits and the xtick-positions. If I remove both, it gets plotted right (but with bad labeling). However, if I leave them (both for the original values and manually transformed ones), I get the error.
I'm having issues with the exam class and the package newicktree. For some reason, tree's aren't positioned correctly on the page when they're within the solution environment. See MWE here if you feel like poking at it: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/207131/…
@egreg Just saw your response to my comment. Apparently I don't the first thing about LaTeX. What should I be doing instead of \setlength{\parskip}{0pt}?
@PauloCereda UK gvt is getting all secondary schools to teach a "text based programming language such as python" which means that most of them seem to be using python (new cs curriculum starting this year at all age levels)
@PauloCereda well previously "ICT" had become more or less "Word and powerpoint" so it's got renamed back to CS and a requirement to teach some coding, python's not so bad, probably
Another expl3 question from my side. I'm trying to implement a macro for easy typesetting of tensors in relativity. My thought was to use \tl_replace_all:Nnn to replace all the ^ and _.
@MomoTh yep. Standalone creates a "standalone thing", like a drawing, formula or whatever. And border=5pt means that the resulting document (PDF usually) will be just 5pt larger than the contents
@tohecz did you see the answer of my quasion? he helped me to draw my cylinder. but i can just put it in apdf alone(\documentclass[]{standalone}). can i put the picture on my document
@JosephWright And maybe change the documentation, because for \tl_replace_all:Nnn it says that only catcodes 1 ({), 2 (}) and 6 (#) won't work, but apparently that's not true.
