Hello everyone... I have been searching for this for the last 30 minutes (or more) but there is nothing in the Tikz manual or the site... as far as I can tell. I was simply wondering, how do I position a Matrix inside a tikzpicture using coordinates, as for rectangles? I mean like (6, 1.5) rectangle (13.1, 0.5)?

It does let me use the at (x, y) but it's less precise. I need to tell Latex all of four angle positions (for better control).

what ?

ah rectangle is unique determined by the 2 corners

giving more points is just impossible

Ah yes, I mean 2 angles, not four.

what about just drawing the stuff ?

Drawing?

\draw (0,0) -- (1,1); and so on

I'm using a Matrix. I have the shape I want... I just don't know how to position it where I want. With those coordinates I can tell (left side, top side) rectangle (right side, bottom side). That's what I've been looking for a while...

place it in a node and place the node where you want

Yes, I've tried that, but alas it doesn't work.

I'll try later again and in case I'll ask on the main site. :) Thanks for the help!

@egreg: can I ask for a typographic advice? :)

@PauloCereda I'm going to church. Back in three hours, or so.

@egreg Oh! :) I love today's Exultet! Have a nice mass! :)

@PauloCereda Exsultet iam angelica turba caelorum

@egreg The very same! We sing it in Portuguese, sadly. :) My Latin is quite rusty. :)

Quiet: everyone at mass?

@JosephWright I still have 25 minutes. :)

Hi y'all :)

/not actually American, honestt/

@cmhughes Hello

@cmhughes Howdy!

@JosephWright Hi there ;) @PauloCereda Hi Paulo! :)

how are you guys? :)

Fine

Have lots of beamer emails, though :-(

@JosephWright ah, the life of a package author :)

@cmhughes I didn't write beamer :-)

@JosephWright oh, I should have said author/maintainer :)

writing the manual for indent.plx- got lots of Windows testing to do though :)

Great, I'm ready to take my iPad to the mass, and it tells me App Store has 9 updates. Damn.

@PauloCereda :( what do you use it for at mass? :)

@cmhughes My songbook. :)

@PauloCereda ah, brilliant :)

Now, mass time! :) See you guys later! :)

@PauloCereda see you later :)

linguex is really a weird package ;-)

@cmhughes So he can play angry birds while the priest isn't looking.

@DavidCarlisle @cmhughes He obviously has iMass installed: itunes.apple.com/app/imass/id381131668?mt=8

@DavidCarlisle lol :)

@Qrrbrbirlbel brilliant! :)

@Qrrbrbirlbel Wow

Does my example fail? tex.stackexchange.com/questions/106075/…

@MarcoDaniel WFM

@MarcoDaniel I get no tex error

@MarcoDaniel I get the same output.

@Qrrbrbirlbel @DavidCarlisle: Thanks.

@JosephWright What? :-) -- Sorry I don't know this abbreviation.

@MarcoDaniel Works For Me

@JosephWright We need really a list ;-)

@MarcoDaniel Someone told me once that you can invite users (even unprivileged ones) into your own chat room. I suspect a outdated TeX distribution.

Anyone know where I can enable -enable-write18 or -shell-escape in TexMaker?

tex

Heh, figured it out, silly me.
