Q: How to show circled portion of a image in beamer slide?

I want to show only a circled portion of the image in my slide. I know that it can be possible by editing the image as circled image. But, I want to know whether LaTeX has this feature or not.

@CarLaTeX: Why did you withdraw your participation in the TUG 'lottery'?

CarLaTeX

@ChristianHupfer Because I already won it last year, I think it's more correct to give my place to Rmano, who is a new nominee. :):):)

Christian Hupfer

@CarLaTeX Ah... I just wondered

MBlanc

I was taking my first baby steps with the expl3.pdf manual, and it struck me that maybe I should be learning LuaLaTeX instead since I have a firm grasp of Lua. Are they interchangeable? Is any of them prefered?

Joseph Wright

@MBlanc Separate things, really. If you want programming but are not fussed about TeX tokens, you can happily use Lua. Working with tokens is trickier with Lua (though still doable), but Lua doesn't of course offer anything 'automatically' for something like TeX argument parsing.

@MBlanc One obvious question is whether you can be sure LuaTeX-only is acceptable

MBlanc

There's so much I don't yet understand that I have a hard time wrapping my head around what I need or is acceptable.

Joseph Wright

2:13 PM

@MBlanc For example, LuaTeX isn't archival-stable in the way pdfTeX is, for for example the AMS don't use LuaTeX

@MBlanc DVI mode is also more limited (currently) from LuaTeX (not really LuaTeX's fault, more to do with dvips)

@MBlanc First question: what's your use case?

MBlanc

Good question! My final objective is being able to write more semantic documents. I really like using pgfkeys. I frequently run into issues when mixing various macros because I don't understand what's happening underneath or how to fix it.

Joseph Wright

@MBlanc OK, so likely you are returning material with 'text' contents

MBlanc

As long as I stick to text, I can handle it most of the time. It's when I want to define a macro that creates other macros, or start mixing stuff like tables that I get kinda blocked.

Joseph Wright

@MBlanc Creating macros can be done from Lua, but it's likely easier to stick to TeX for that in general; tables are famously quite tricky beasts

MBlanc

2:34 PM

@JosephWright I think most of my problems would be solved if could just tell LaTeX to read a bunch of arguments (in pgfkeys style or similar), build a string, and go "here, digest this!".

Joseph Wright

@MBlanc Without more detail, all I can say is 'A) There are no strings in TeX; B) The general idea is quite doable several ways'

MBlanc

@JosephWright Could you give me a general pointer on where to start on any of those ways?

4:59 PM

@Kurt BTW, our numbers were recursively palindromic primes. That is, if you sum the digits up, you again get a prime. Unfortunately, they allow only for one recursion, unlike say 191, whose digits sum up to 11 (a prime), and the digits sum up to another prime, 2. I wonder what happens if someone hits a recursive palindromic prime of order 4 or higher. ;-)

@marmot oeis.org/A222116

marmot

@yo' Thanks. We should start awarding badges for reaching these landmarks. Bronze for order 2, silver for order 3 and gold for 4+. What do you think? ;-)

barbara beeton

5:21 PM

@DavidCarlisle -- you inherited amsmath because you're kind and generous and didn't want to get calls in the middle of the night complaining that amsmath broke lualatex.

Alan Munn

5:34 PM

@marmot Are these sorts of numbers expected to have any interesting properties independently? (Or maybe that's never the right question to ask of a mathematician).

marmot

@AlanMunn The only thing I have common with a mathematician is that both of us start with "ma".

Alan Munn

For example, there is an infinite set of grammatical English sentences of length n using only the word "fish", for n >1. But this actually tells us something about how language works, I think.

@marmot Yes, I realize that. :) I wasn't actually implying that you were one.

barbara beeton

@AlanMunn -- Dante’s Nine Circles of Hell, Reimagined for Linguistic Transgressions (actually more grammar than linguistics, but ...)

marmot

@AlanMunn I know, I just wanted to point out another meaningless coincidence. ;-) I really do not know what the significance of those paliprimes is except that they seem to be even more mysterious than ordinary primes in that it is not known if they are finite (to the best of my knowledge). If they were finite, this would mean one could only earn a finite number of those badges. ;-)

Alan Munn

@barbarabeeton :) Do you think the mismatched quote marks in the third circle were intentional?

@marmot Ah, so there is a world in which their properties have real world consequences. :)

barbara beeton

5:42 PM

@AlanMunn -- i suspect not, but who knows? all the quote marks there are unnecessary, and all the ones that follow periods are misplaced. one more infelicity probably doesn't dig one any deeper.

Alan Munn

@barbarabeeton It seems you may occupy quite a few of the circles simultaneously. :)

marmot

@AlanMunn Well, there are in fact certain real world consequences of these properties, at least according to modern day theoretical physics. (I'm not talking about paliprimes, obviously whether or not a prime is a palindrome depends on the base.) There are interesting relations between the zeros of the Rieamann zeta function and eigenvalues of some operators and so on. Of course, many of these relations are just conjectures. (And of course there is a lot of numerology...)

barbara beeton

@AlanMunn -- was that "you" meant for someone in particular, or simply the more familiar variation on "one"?

Alan Munn

@barbarabeeton One will never know.

marmot

@barbarabeeton Did you realize that the second sentence already contains "duck" (but in a very unfortunate context)?

barbara beeton

5:48 PM

@marmot -- yes, i did notice that. quite unfortunate indeed.

Harald Hanche-Olsen

6:33 PM

@AlanMunn Palindromes are quite boring from a number theoretic point of view. It seems that some numbers get to be palindromes almost by accident, and there is essentially no connection between their palindromeness and any of the more interesting properties that numbers can have, such as Ramanujan's taxi number, for example.

David Carlisle

@barbarabeeton mostly the last of those reasons

mickep

@barbarabeeton I recently bought some books in your Mathematical World series, and I enjoy them very much. Do you happen to know if there are more titles on the way? In particular from Russian authors.

Alan Munn

@HaraldHanche-Olsen Ok. That's kind of what I thought. Much as palindromic sentences don't have any interesting properties either.

Harald Hanche-Olsen

@AlanMunn Palindromic sentences at least are much harder to construct, especially if they're not going to sound contrived. But nobody lifts an eyebrow at palindromic numbers, except here of course.

mickep

I wonder if the XeTeX people are more fond of palindromes than the LuaTeX ones?

Alan Munn

6:43 PM

@HaraldHanche-Olsen Well we're also enamoured with ducks...

David Carlisle

@AlanMunn especially crispy in a nice Chinese pancake

Alan Munn

@DavidCarlisle I just had that two weeks ago at the dinner for a talk I gave. :)

Harald Hanche-Olsen

@DavidCarlisle Yummy! Haven't tasted that in … what, over 30 years? At a Chinese restaurant in Toronto. The group I was with often went there after their seminars. This was in 1980/81.

I think one needed at least four people to order the Peking duck. (It wasn't spelled Beijing in those days.)

David Carlisle

It's a good job @PauloCereda is not here and can't see this discussion

@DavidCarlisle But I can :P

marmot

8:06 PM

@CarLaTeX What do you think: eating pizza with pineapple makes you eat ducks, or is it the opposite way, eating ducks makes you top pizzas with pineapples? Or is it a deadly circle?

CarLaTeX

@marmot I think they are not connected: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/41?m=40706502#40706502

@PauloCereda Any preparations for the Tuesday's carnival?

Stefan Kottwitz

@mickep Try the LuaTeXeTauL engine, bidi (right-to-left) support with Lua (palindrome powered as XeTeX) (An antegooglewhackblatt engine for now.)

Alan Munn

@yo' Pączki

yo'

@AlanMunn I don't know they would be something special for the carnival, but maybe in Poland they are

Stefan Kottwitz

@yo' I'm in Venice now for carnival. Fancy and pretty full here.

Alan Munn

@yo' They are a big tradition at this time in Michigan, due to the large Polish community here.

yo'

8:39 PM

@StefanKottwitz possibly!

@AlanMunn oh really! So finally there's someone to teach Americans that kobliha has no holes? :-)

Stefan Kottwitz

@yo' Guys on stilts, masks, flying unicorns, confetti and crowds :-)

Alan Munn

@yo' Well technically they do have holes, otherwise you'd never get the filling inside. But topologically speaking, no. :)

yo'

@AlanMunn Well, the hole gets closed during baking (well, frying)

Alan Munn

@yo' Not in any that I've ever eaten.

yo'

@AlanMunn strange. Do you speak about that tiny (about 1 mm) hole in the side of the kobliha?

Alan Munn

9:00 PM

@yo' e.g. ^^^

yo'

@AlanMunn ah ok, much different from what we have here

@AlanMunn Even this hole is larger and more pronounced than usual here:

CarLaTeX

@StefanKottwitz Venice is usually crowded, I don't dare imagine how it can be during the carnival!

Stefan Kottwitz

I have double carnival. I'm here for building a ship for the cruise line with the same name. That's in port of Marghera, my hotel is in Mestre, nice life here at Piazza Ferreto, not so crowded as directly in Venice.
