When compiling this minimal TeX file with lualatex --shell-escape test.tex I get an initial shell error (that is output to stderr), sh: all: command not found (check in the 7th line).
The error doesn't occur when not using --shell-escape or when using pdflatex --shell-escape.
Is this pointing ...
@marmot probably not. I guess one couldn't avoid to get at least another golden badge with 600000 more and I don't see me getting 70, so I would done by one again ;-).
@UlrikeFischer Why not? Even @egreg has more than 77 gold badges. ;-) And we could create new ones like "friend of the ducks", "friend of the marmots", "friend of the koalas" and so on. ;-)
@samcarter I converted myself, but I am not sure if it is legal to just do a screenshot from a site like shutterstock.com/image-vector/…, do you?
The conversion to pgf is actually just a simple regex thing. If you save a vector image in the pstricks format, all you need is to convert \curveto to \pgfcurveto, similarly for \lineto and \moveto. And a coordinate (x,y) needs to become {\pgfqpoint{xpt}{ypt}}. I guess one could write a perl script for that (and finally have a node shape "duck")

I'm not sure if making a post with this question: is it possible to paste figures all over a slide? I want to do that with chemical structures created with chemfig

@DavidCarlisle do you think it is better to use another tool and embed just one big image? Anyways, that's exactly what I was asking, thanks.
@santimirandarp you mean to adjust the separate images, no picture mode (or tiz0 are fine for that, and easier to fit into the tex workflow if you adjust the "tex" parts of the page than if you make the collage in some graphics program and include it as one big image.

@DavidCarlisle hmm I can't get it. But I'll try the solution of your post.
@samcarter Well, I tried that. For the first time in my life, I was trying to draw something with inkscape. And of course I failed terribly. How can people work with that? ;-)
@marmot Yes, there are GUIs that can do PDF annotation, at least in theory. In practice they are not so pleasant to use. Plus, all the more functional ones are proprietary.
@FaheemMitha I do use some on my iPad. There even the free acroread allows one to do decent annotations. I use them to go through my notes and talks, and annotate things.
@FaheemMitha Just to be sure: you are aware of the tikzmark library? It just got appended by the \tikzmarknode command. These things allow you to annotate TeX documents really conveniently.
restarting, it chooses ctan.mirror.rafal.ca (Hamilton, Ontario)
I'm FROM Hamilton. That is where I moved to CC from. That is 3500 km away. I swear, whomever designed the system of picking nearby mirrors based on country was OBVIOUSLY from Europe, with its teeny-tiny countries
Ahhh frack, it didn't keep the files it had sucessfully downloaded already. headdesk. Headdesk
The heck. That is twice it has failed on downloading allrunes
Ok, now it is picking a mirror on the very furthest part of Canada from me. (I can see the pacific ocean from the roof of this building. It is picking a mirror in Halifax, famous for its Atlantic port
and it is still VERY slow to download. Like, slower then even I am used to. But my bandwidth test was fine? Anyone have ideas?
That is three mirrors. Unless there is some problem with the internet cables connecting BC to the rest of Canada....
Test his bandwith using speedtest.net to a sever in Halifax 12.97 Mbps. Not bad, even it it isn't the insane rates I get within the city. But still, that isn't 22 hours for 1.9 GB slow, nor is it time out on the first package of decent size slow [allrunes, number 75 on my list]
And all of a sudden I'm past that package and it is saying only 2 hours. Not a reasonable speed considering I could be using a Seattle mirror, but not slow either.
