@DavidCarlisle @PauloCereda the images donot fit into the slide even if i try to make 0.5 in the syntax given by you above to 0.01 ??
 
@DavidCarlisle thanks :)
 
3:04 AM
@PauloCereda Those were my words. All of them. :-)

@BAYMAX did not scale the images? For example \includegraphics [width =.5\textwidth] ?
 
15 hours ago, by Paulo Cereda
\begin{columns}
\column{0.5\textwidth}
\includegraphics{a}
\column{0.5\textwidth}
\includegraphics{b}
\end{columns}
in this one right i have to insert after \includegraphics @DavidCarlisle ?
 
8:06 AM
@BAYMAX no, look at the texdoc graphics or just search this site for \includegraphics to see thousands of examples. that makes two columns each of half the full width but includes the images at their natural size so if they don't fit they don't fit, you want to scale the image with an option to \includegraphics as I show on the line above
 
8:16 AM
@egreg There's another \rm in a node here: tex.stackexchange.com/a/398431/101651.
 
8:34 AM
@CarLaTeX Fixed!
 
If you've upgraded your iPhone's operating system to iOS 11, try this: Go to the calculator app and quickly type 1+2+3. You likely won't get 6. You might get 23, or 24, or 16, or 32, or something else, depending on what buttons you tap and in what order, and, obviously, none of which is the right answer. It seems to be because of a new animation in the calculator app, where a button briefly fades to white when you press it. The result is that if you press an operator button (i.e., the plus sign) before the short animation finishes, the app ignores it. So, 1 + 2 + 3 accidentally gets read as
@DavidCarlisle, @egreg ^^ :)
 
8:51 AM
@PauloCereda They want you to go slow in order to think about what you're doing.
 
@egreg Yes, good design. :)
 
9:50 AM
Yes that works , thanks @DavidCarlisle , but now the figures are very small and i think that i should manage the fonts of the sentences and equations of that slide so that the image may be a bigger one? can that be done?
 
10:15 AM
In context of my newest questions I wonder if beamer does any trickery with pgfkeys that is not default in e.g. article. Does anyone know of such manipulations?

The images are small i want them to be a little larger so that audience can see them
 
@BAYMAX Scale them up?
 
when i scale them they go outside the slide
@JosephWright
they are eps files
 
@BAYMAX They will scale if there is space: perhaps you have a margin around them
 
i used
> \begin{figure}
\centering
\begin{minipage}{.6\textwidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=.5\linewidth]{TheChuaCircuit}
\caption{Chua Circuit and the Characteristic function}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{.6\textwidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=.5\linewidth]{Chua_phasespace}
\caption{Phase Space of Chua system.}
\end{minipage}
\caption{Chaotic behaviour of Chua circuit.}
\end{figure}
and then only one figure is coming,othr is not coming in the slide!
@JosephWright
 
4:22 PM
@BAYMAX How shall 1.2\textwidth fit into \textwidth?
4
 
hmm,Initially i did 0.5 and 0.5 and later i changedit to 0.6 and 0.6!
so i should vary the linewidth then?
 
@BAYMAX Change the minipage width back to something smaller than .5, otherwise there is not enough space to fit both minipages besides each other.
Then the biggest possible images will be \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{Chua_phasespace}. If they are too big for your slide, decrease the width.
 
if I make smaller than 0.5 then the image size will be reduced and will be aproblem for the audience to view?

You should decrease the width of the minipages, not of the images, they can be as big as \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{Chua_phasespace}

Thanks @samcarter let me try this
 
4:28 PM
My personal opinion: I would not do three captions, but either use subcaptions for the firts two ones or just ordinary text.
 
Ok, I also prefer to remove this line "\caption{Chaotic behaviour of Chua circuit.}"
but still if i do as per your code
only one figure is coming and the other is not
?
 
Yes but there are texts and equations above the images?
 
@BAYMAX If you get something different, you are doing something different compared to my code shown above (it would be much easier to try to help you if you would ask a question on the main site including a MWE)
@BAYMAX You never shared the code for these, I will not retype them.
 
sorry, i missed

Thanks@samcarter! I am trying as not to be angry sharelatex is showing some error.
 
@BAYMAX as said before, helping would be much easier to see a question including a compilable minimal working example (MWE) on the main site
 
aah finally they are now a bit big image @samcarter
Thanks@samcarter
 
5:49 PM
Sometimes I don't like maps with a sign "You are here."
Greetings from Doral, Miami :-D
#TORNADO WARNING: Tornado Warning issued for North central Miami-Dade County @CraigSetzer #SetzerSays
 
@StefanKottwitz OMG, another one!
 
@CarLaTeX I did not even hear the announcement in the loud datacenter here... but noticed the alarm. Anyway, now they lifted the warning.
From now on, I will check twitter.com/search?q=miami+tornado regularly :-) Still here until next weekend.
 
@StefanKottwitz Oooh
 
@CarLaTeX How was the meeting in Mestre?
I go back to m̶y̶ ̶c̶a̶v̶e̶ the datacenter
 
6:06 PM
@StefanKottwitz Very interesting, especially egreg's and Paulo's talks. Prof. van Duck guest star :):):)
 
@BAYMAX those lengths don't make sense! you have two minipages each .6 \textwidth wide, so they can not possibly fit then inside the minipage you scale the images to just half the available space so they are unreasonably small.
 
Hello people! How is your battery today? :)
 
@Moriambar Ciao Moriambar, quanto tempo! I'm just recharging it :):):)
 
6:58 PM
@CarLaTeX yes, it's definitely been a while… how are you?
 
@Moriambar Fine thanks, you missed the GuIT Meeting!
 
@CarLaTeX yes, I know. I do not have much time for typography now that I do calligraphy. Also it was in Venice and not Milan!
@CarLaTeX How did the meeting turn out?

@Moriambar Very well, prof. van Duck enjoyed it very much! ^^^
 
@CarLaTeX Nice! The professor was the guest of honour, wasn't he?
 
@Moriambar Of course! LOL
 
7:06 PM
@CarLaTeX I can't wait to read the articles
 
@Moriambar If you come to Milan I'll give you the issue of ArsTeXnica
 
@CarLaTeX whoa thanks. I'll check in on you via cell phone when I'm around. I will be around Milan even tomorrow, I think. Gotta see a friend, but I actually do not know his plans for the day
 
7:21 PM
@Moriambar OK, I don't know if I have time tomorrow but let me know via whatsapp :)
 
8:03 PM
am I the only person on this site who likes vim?
 
@AGoldMan no. No one likes vim:-)
 
emacs seems to use ctrl too much
 
@AGoldMan actually several regulars here use vim
@AGoldMan using a control key to control something, seems a reasonable plan.
3
 
if it were less out of the way...
to be fair, i still use ctrl-] instead of escape
 
@AGoldMan depends on your keyboard, for me it is the bottom left key at the same level as the spacebar so easy enough and anyway it's just a default mapping, you can make any key the control key
 
8:07 PM
does emacs have something that makes log files readable?
 
@AGoldMan there are even people here who claim there exist editors other than vim and emacs, although I don't believe them.
 
i wouldn't believe it either. Unless it's on wikipedia
 
@AGoldMan I have spent 30 years reading tex log files, so I don't find them particularly unreadable.
 
I find them lengthy
like thousands of lines longer than i need them to be
eh, many thousands
 
@AGoldMan you have \tracingall turned on? (or use unicode-math?)
 
8:13 PM
yeah, for the parts of my code that need debugging
also microtype
and hyperref
 
@AGoldMan yes I turn on tracingall when answering questions here more often than not, but not for the whole document just the part under investigation, but asking tex to log everything and then complaining you get a large log seems a bit strange!
 
@DavidCarlisle even just \tracingmacros and \tracingcommands gives too many lines once anything is being typeset
and most of the things i write involve things being typeset
go figure
 
@AGoldMan yes but tracingmacros logs every macro expansion and there are thousands or millions of macro expansions in a typical document (and more if tikz or beamer or something is involved) asking to log every expansion and asking not to have thousands of lines of log are incompatible usually I just turn it on just before a known error condition and stop at the error so you only get a few hundred lines of log
 
@DavidCarlisle yeah, i also do it right before the error condition, but if you're trial setting a paragraph and don't know where in the paragraph the bug came from, it ends up being lengthy
 
@DavidCarlisle Will you make the meeting next weekend?
 
8:22 PM
@JosephWright most likely (although real life may intervene)
 
@DavidCarlisle Cool
@DavidCarlisle Need to book lunch ;)
 
@AGoldMan sure but that's life:-) most people who claim the log is unreadable are not using \tracingxxx at all: they just can't read the log some editors have support to try to help them, eg emacs auctex has all the error descriptions from the latex book and so offers more extensive help after parsing the log to see what error you have, but I don't know anything that can help pick your way through \tracingparagraphs output.
 
oh well. I'll find some time to write something
for vim, obviously
i need something for tracingoutputs, more
or whichever is the one that dumps all shipped out pages
 
8:39 PM
@AGoldMan \showoutput one of my most used commands:-) of course of you are looking at the file in vim it's no wonder it seems too long, navigation being so weird if the the file is more than 10 lines long you are doomed:-)
 
@DavidCarlisle Use something sensible, like nano ;)
 
@JosephWright or even notepad
 
8:57 PM
it's not so bad to navigate
just it's annoying to pick through the parts of the page that are irrelevant
which is why i wish you could just fold away individual boxes
 
@AGoldMan my in depth vim review:
Apr 12 '13 at 16:40, by David Carlisle
user image
 
9:14 PM
Hmph! Wrote a query here and Firefox ate the text
It did that last time I popped into chat
Shorter version: I'm using width=\textwidth to stretch a pgfplot (histogram) to the width of text as in this answer; it aligns left but stretches into the margin on the right, what might I have missed?
Screenshot to follow
(at a push I can just set some manual width, but that's clumsy and I'd rather understand what is going on)
 
@bertieb Do you have scale only axis?
 
@TorbjørnT. Yup
 
@bertieb So you haven't grasped what that actually does then :) With scale only axis, the width setting applies to only the axis frame itself, so the total width is specified width plus the width of ticklabels and axis labels.
 
Ahhh
So, for the first example, trim axis left lets it protrude into the left margin?
(I'm happy to let the labels go left; but the right border should abut the right margin)
Aha! It would seem so.
That said, now that I see it, maybe I will take some width off the \textwidth so it abuts both margins nicely...
Labels overlapping left doesn't look quite as passable as I anticipated
Thanks for the help @TorbjørnT. ! :)
(any thought on how I track down the issue with FF losing chat input?)
 
9:29 PM
@bertieb what did you do? if you type into the text box you can only send one line (as enter sends) but if you type somewhere else you can paste in a multi-line text
 
@DavidCarlisle Any text disappears from text box on hitting enter
 
@bertieb Yes, trim axis left means that everything left of the left side of the axis is not considered for the bounding box, i.e. LaTeX doesn't "see" it when placing the diagram on the page.
 
I wonder if it's a cookie / login thing- superuser was showing me as not logged in on browsing, but when I went to chat I appeared there
 
@bertieb I use FF and not seen that
 
Still couldn't send messages; I might try logging out and in
@TorbjørnT. Ah, that makes sense (and is a useful explanation), cheers!
Yeah, if I go to my user page I get a "Log In" button
Something ain't quite right here
Hmm, even relogging isn't doing much
Probably an extension issue or somesuch
Just need to remember for next time
Cheers!
