@Raphael You cannot edit questions like that. You changed the meaning of the question, thus making my existing answer out of topic, while the other answer was out of topic and is now in topic. — babou 49 mins ago
I don't follow @babou there -- thoughts?

@Raphael I'm afraid I don't either -- on a quick glance, it seems to me you absolutely did not change the meaning of the question, but rather only made the text flow better

@Juho Noted, thanks for checking!

any friends around? could use votes on this =D

A: So obviously, P = NP

vznruby/gnuplot 3d surface (ooh stiff competition!) ... anyway ... is a picture worth a thousand words? these are 3 separate surface plots made in gnuplot of the SAT transition point. the (x,y) axes are clause & variable count and the z height is total # of recursive calls in the solver. code writt...

hi FrankW...
36 A 0 Q, perfect for se :)

@Raphael Are you aware of any collection of examples of graphs drawn with tikz? I already know of this one, but was wondering if there were something else (texample is a bit scarce on graphs imo)
 
Raphael
Raphael
@Juho Not off the top of my head, no.
I guess they'd be happy to add some if you have any.
 
Juho
Juho
oh I'm sure. well, maybe some day :-)

Graphs may not be too interesting for showing-off purposes since they tend to look boring, visually.
Huge graphs probably would not, but would be a pain to produce in pre-3.0 TikZ.
 
Juho
Juho
That's probably true, but it's not to say nobody wouldn't want to create them
 
Raphael
Raphael
I'll ask out graphs group if they have something nice. :)
 
Juho
Juho
or be interested in examples
cool, thanks!
 
Raphael
Raphael
@Juho True, but there's 150 pages of documentation in the TikZ manual. ;)
 
Juho
Juho
I know... I just tried skimming through it, and tried to stop whenever a picture would look somehow interesting :p

That can't have gotten you far. :D
 
Juho
Juho
nope, not really :)
but it gives you a better overall idea of what tikz is capable of
I was thinking it could be useful to be able to create an overlay to highlight some sets of vertices, kinda like here
Another thing I'd like to know how to do is graphs, where I have graphs inside of vertices (basically you could represent something like a graph decomposition like that)
it's not really critical, but just something that might be useful

@Juho --> fitting library
@Juho I think you can put whole TikZ pictures inside nodes, but that I'd have to try.
 
Juho
Juho
ha, I actually stopped at that while skimming the docs ;) (the fitting lib that is)

I can wholeheartedly recommend TeX - LaTeX and their chat -- they know basically everything.
 
Juho
Juho
oh right. I didn't even realize they have chat there too... duh
I played around a bit with the spyglass library (and its examples). I thought it was pretty cool even if I don't have any use for it :-)

Huh, me neither. As theoreticians, we don't need to print lots of data, I guess. ;)
 
Juho
Juho
one can always dream, right?
btw I asked about having graphs as vertices in their chat. Let's see what the response is
 
Raphael
Raphael
Good luck! I'm off for the night, see ya!
 
Juho
Juho
yup, bye!
