@santimirandarp This looks already good but where is Einstein? ;-) More seriously, I do not know how you are producing it but you could of course use a simple tabular to place the images.
@JosephWright no not yet, trying to cleanup the files lists. But I looked at the pull request and it looks good. I only will additionally reset the environment variable texmfcnf so that "my" system doesn't interfere.
@JosephWright that would be good. How will it work? can I put a ctan-readme.md in the doc folder and tell l3build to rename it to README.md when making the ctan zip?
@marmot The proof is probably difficult if one looks at the imaginary and real parts of numbers, but if one switches into the duck- and marmot space, the proof becomes very easy. If the duck and marmot space is not enough, one can add further tikzlings dimensions.
@Skillmon I think pytex questions are OK so long as it is close to the tex side of pytex and not turning towards being a general python syntax question. That one seems fine to me, if a little terse given that many people on site probably have never even heard of pytex:-)
@FaheemMitha pylatex builds a LaTeX document from python code.

@marmot haha thanks...Well I wasn't sure, I'll try to describe wave-particle duality, so maybe ill add him. The first slide is supposed not to be ordered, but with the images distributed on it...
Of course you could place the pictures along a wave or wave function that you draw e.g. with tikz. You do not actually have to draw the thing, e.g. \begin{tikzpicture} \path[decorate,decoration={markings, mark=at position 0.1 with {\node{\includegraphics[scale=0.3]{example-image-a}};}, mark=at position 0.5 with {\node{\includegraphics[scale=0.3]{example-image-b}};}, mark=at position 0.8 with {\node{\includegraphics[scale=0.3]{example-image-c}};} }] plot[variable=\x,domain=0:540] ({\x/50},{2.5*sin(\x)});
@egreg as for tex.stackexchange.com/a/452109/121799 : I guess this will simplify things quite a bit. You can then write equations like $\delta\cdot\delta=\delta/\delta$. If all quantities are denoted \delta this equation won't be wrong nor imply that $\delta=\pm1$. ;-) Some friends of mine actually got quite close to a universal letter in their handwriting. ;-)

@marmot almost perfect but the function isnt plotted...

@marmot oh now I understood. I supposed there would be a function below the pictures. Thanks
@santimirandarp The function can be plotted by replacing \path with \draw, in which case you may add smooth to the options of plot, i.e. plot[variable=\x,domain=0:540,smooth,samples=31] or something like this.
@santimirandarp yes, this defines the path along which the pictures are placed. For instance, if you want to show mathematicians, you may choose a Gaussian and put Gauss (or @egreg?;-) right on the maximum of the curve. BTW, tikzsymbols has \SchrodingersCat symbol, which you could use instead of Schrödinger. ;-)
user280247
Fine...so now, using \draw, the pictures should be linked by the function...but it isnt. I can show you an image

@marmot didn't know he is mathematician, I have so many questions XD . Joke.
\documentclass{beamer} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{decorations.markings} \begin{document} \begin{frame}[t] \frametitle{Placing pics along a function} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[blue,very thick,postaction={decorate,decoration={markings, mark=at position 0.1 with {\node{\includegraphics[scale=0.3]{example-image-a}};}, mark=at position 0.5 with {\node{\includegraphics[scale=0.3]{example-image-b}};}, mark=at position 0.8 with {\node{\includegraphics[scale=0.3]{example-image-c}};} }}] plot[variable=\x,domain=0:540,smooth,samples=31] ({\x/50},{2.5*sin(\x)});
@santimirandarp ^^^ this is a complete example.
@santimirandarp I should have mentioned before that you need to put the decoration in a postaction since otherwise indeed no curve will be drawn...
@FaheemMitha one could do calculations and stuff. But I usually do it in another way, writing a python script which builds all the stuff I can't calculate with TeX and then outputting this to a file which I can then \input.
Seek for the code that was broken.
In TeX and LaTeX it dwells.
There must be councils taken
Stronger than bugs and spells.
Soon shall be seen a token
Of answers near at hand.
The LaTeX Team shall waken
And the Tikzling forth shall stand.

@JosephWright i don't think that there is a serious problem - they would have written to me. It means that they looked at it, which is reassuring.
@UlrikeFischer I was too tired the other day, what was the outcome of that factor=nil issue, did you do something in luaotfload or do I need to try to construct an example to push back to Hans?
@DavidCarlisle I didn't check yet. After I realized that I missed one file I decided to sort out the filelist first. But it is on my list. I will look at it later.
@FaheemMitha and that again is a different thing :) So to summarize there are at least 3 similar named things: pytex, pylatex and pythontex. pytex seems pretty dead (last code contribution was in 2005 according to their sourceforge site), pylatex seems pretty active and uses Python source code to generate LaTeX code (either full documents or snippets, both possible). And then there is pythontex which has a completely different approach being more like Python call from within LaTeX.
Hello @UlrikeFischer. Not staying, I was just looking at archives around May 24 to see what latex3/#463 was about.
And I think that that confusion is reasonable given that * in \section* doesn't look like an argument (in particular mustn't be wrapped in braces) but in the code it shows up as a boolean #1.
