I've been looking for ways to exhibit exhaustive listings (for replicability) alongside cropped output. Here are the two solutions I've come up with. For the second, I'm unable to stretch the PDF to the box width. Main question: how to fix this? Subsidiary question: what other solutions are there? \jobname.tex: \begin{filecontents}[overwrite]{\jobname-snippet.tex} \documentclass{article} \begin{document} Hello,~world! \end{document} \end{filecontents} \documentclass{article} \usepackage{lipsum,tcolorbox,graphicx} \tcbuselibrary{listings,raster,skins} \newtcblisting{listing-tex}{ listing and text, listing options={language=Tex, style=tcblatex} } \begin{document} \section{Comment out} \begin{listing-tex} %\documentclass{article} %\begin{document} Hello,~world! %\end{document} \end{listing-tex} \section{PDF as comment} % Adapted from % 17.9 Option Keys for Processing and Full Document Examples % https://ctan.math.washington.edu/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/tcolorbox/tcolorbox.pdf#section*.656 \tcbinputlisting{ lower separated=false, listing and comment, listing file={\jobname-snippet}, listing options={style=tcblatex}, pdf comment, comment style={graphics pages={1}, graphics options={trim=1.18in 9.06in 1.18in 1.18in, clip, width=\linewidth}, % https://ctan.math.washington.edu/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/tcolorbox/tcolorbox.pdf#section*.656 }, % on the fly: % https://ctan.math.washington.edu/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/tcolorbox/tcolorbox.pdf#section*.818 % pdflatex -shell-escape \jobname.tex freeze pdf=false, run system command={pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode \jobname-snippet.tex} } \end{document}

I am working on a tikzposter using \block{title}{text} in a \begin{column} \column{0.5} setup. I would like each of my blocks to have different watermark.pngs size adjusted to the size of their corresponding block - whatever that happens to be. This is my attempt \newcommand{\watermark}[1]{% \addtoblockbackground{ \path let \p1 = (block.south west), \p2 = (block.north east), \n1 = {\x2-\x1}, \n2 = {\y2-\y1} in node[ opacity=0.5, inner sep=0pt ] at (block.center) {\includegraphics[width=\n1,height=\n2,keepaspectratio]{#1}}; } } The only thing about that which functions as intended is the opacity-parameter, and I am in over my head. So any help on this would be much appreciated \documentclass[a0,portrait]{tikzposter} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage{blindtext} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{caption} \usepackage{subcaption} \usepackage{comment} \usepackage{amsmath, amssymb, amsthm} \usepackage{physics} \usepackage{etoolbox} \usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref} \usepackage{xcolor} \graphicspath{/Images} \newcommand{\watermark}[1]{% \addtoblockbackground{ \path let \p1 = (block.south west), \p2 = (block.north east), \n1 = {\x2-\x1}, \n2 = {\y2-\y1} in node[ opacity=0.5, inner sep=0pt ] at (block.center) {\includegraphics[width=\n1,height=\n2,keepaspectratio]{#1}}; } } \title{Watermark test} %\author{Author Name} %\institute{Institute Name} \begin{document} \maketitle % Full-width block at the top \block{1}{ \watermark{watermark1.png} \lipsum[1] } % Two-column layout below \begin{columns} \column{0.5} % left column \block{2}{ \watermark{watermark2.png} \lipsum[2] } \column{0.5} % right column \block{3}{ \watermark{watermark2.png} \lipsum[3] } \end{columns} \end{document}

I'd like to be able to compile tikz pictures in standalone mode (to produce a pdf with the size of the tikz picture + some margin to allow tikz overlays), but when the tikz picture contains beamer overlays like: \begin{tikzpicture} \onslide<1->{\node[rounded corners, fill=yellow]{Hey jude,};} \onslide<2>{\node at (0,-1) [rounded corners, fill=yellow]{don't make it bad};} \end{tikzpicture} Additionally I also need to record the height/depth/width of the picture (at each overlay) in order to include it properly later (command to determine, I guess a loop following https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/55045/116348). For now, the file I compile looks like this: % margin is used to allow the picture to go beyond its limit via tikz overlay, I crop the margin later when % including the file: \documentclass[margin=2cm]{standalone} \usepackage {tikz} \begin{document}% %% Record the height/depth of the content by using a savebox: \newsavebox\boxRobExt% \begin{lrbox}{\boxRobExt}% \begin{tikzpicture} %\onslide<1->{ \node[rounded corners, fill=yellow]{Hey jude,}; %} %\onslide<2>{ \node at (0,-1) [rounded corners, fill=yellow]{don't make it bad}; %} \end{tikzpicture}% \end{lrbox}% \usebox{\boxRobExt}% % Store the height/depth in a file: \newwrite\writeRobExt% \immediate\openout\writeRobExt=\jobname-out.tex% \immediate\write\writeRobExt{% \string\def\string\robExtWidth{\the\wd\boxRobExt}% \string\def\string\robExtHeight{\the\ht\boxRobExt}% \string\def\string\robExtDepth{\the\dp\boxRobExt}% }% % \end{document} The problem is that if I uncomment the \onslide<>{}, then this just errors. I tried to add the beamer option to standalone + wrap the content in standaloneframe, but then the frame is not anymore fitting (up to the margin) its content. Is it possible to ask [beamer]{standalone} to fit its content up to a given margin? My ultimate goal is to support beamer overlays in my robust-externalize library… so if you have other ways to do that, please let me know. EDIT The duplicate question does not provide satisfying answers: this produces jumping content since this can't detect empty spaces created by \onlyslide, this can't suppot tikz overlays etc.

The following code does layout right. The first and second column overlap. What am I doing wrong? \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage{multicol} \usepackage[left=3cm,top=3cm,right=3cm,bottom=3cm,nofoot]{geometry}\usepackage{hhline} \begin{document} \begin{multicols}{2} \begin{enumerate} \item $N_1\left(0\mid 0\right)$,\ $N_2\left(-0{,}873\mid 0\right)$,\ {$N_3(6{,}8731213987 \mid 0)$} \item $N_1\left(0\mid 0\right)$, $N_2\left(-\frac{4}{5}\mid 0\right)$ \end{enumerate} \end{multicols} \end{document}

I'm unsure if this question is relevant or useful for this community, but I believe it could prove valuable. If I have a video containing mathematical formulas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-V4quUqfOk and want to convert them into LaTeX code, does a specific package exist to automate this, or is it impossible?

I am writing a thesis using Latex (memoir class), and I have encountered an odd page numbering issue when compiling to pdf using the "Bibliography" Applescript Macro on TexShop on a Mac (the macro runs the compiler three times). The page numbering works fine, including changes in style between frontmatter (roman) and mainmatter (arabic), but after 94 pages, the numbering starts to "drift". The chapter starting on page 94 according to the contents page actually starts on page 95. By page 200, the numbering in the contents is off by four pages. The document is a bit too big to post an example, especially since the issue only occurs once it reaches a certain number of pages. Has anybody else encountered a problem like this? Any ideas for a fix would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am trying to include a simple diagram in a Latex document. My Latex file looks like this \documentclass[11pt]{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage[a4paper,left=1cm, right=3cm]{geometry} \parskip10pt \parindent0pt \title{Nathan 2 circle problem} \begin{document} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[bb=0 0 568 315, scale=0.5]{Nathan_2_circles_solution.jpg} \caption{Construction used for solution} \label{fig:Nathan 2 circles problem} \end{figure} The image I am trying to include has width 568, height 315. I used this construct for including an image several years ago and it used to work well. Now I get an error message and no output. If I comment out the lines between \begin{figure} and \end{figure} it runs correctly. I could not work out how to copy the full build output but here is a screenshot of what I believe is the relevant part

I am trying to produce a (n+1)x(n+1) matrix with diagonal elements equal to 1 supradiagonal (one above the diagonal) a sequence from 1 to n everything else 0 in the package NiceMatrix, and with the code (processed twice): \documentclass{report} \usepackage{nicematrix} \begin{document} \[ \begin{pNiceMatrix}[renew-dots] 1 & 1 & 0 & \Cdots & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & \ddots & \ddots & \Vdots\\ \Vdots & \ddots & \ddots & & 0 \\ & & & 1 & n \\ 0 & \Cdots & & 0 & 1 \end{pNiceMatrix} \] \end{document} I get a strange shortening of the vertical separation of the two last rows, which is considerably smaller than the separation of the first two, producing an artifact at the meeting of the two dotted lines at the last zero on the matrix. What could be causing this? I do know that I can add [0.22cm] to the line before last and add some space, but that seems a bit weird.

I use the solution offered here LuaTeX won't end a line at Unicode emdash to enable lualatex to break lines following a unicode em-dash character (U+2014): \catcode `\—=13 \protected\def—{\nobreak\textemdash\allowbreak} Unfortunately, when I try to use the Palatino system font on my mac, I get the following warning: Package microtype Warning: Unknown slot number of character (microtype) `— (= \nobreak \textemdash \allowbreak )' (microtype) in font encoding `TU'. (microtype) Make sure it's a single character (microtype) (or a number) in protrusion list (microtype) `palatino-default'. In the MWE below, the warning is generated, but so is the .pdf and I could ignore the warning. However, in my full document, the .pdf generation fails with a TeX error: ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=10000]. If I eliminate the redefinition of U+2014, the microcode warnings disappear and the longer document compiles correctly. Is there another way to have lualatex allow linebreaks after U+2014 (besides editing the document and replacing U+2014 with ---)? An MWE that produces the warning (a long document fails): \documentclass{article} \usepackage{microtype} \usepackage{fontspec} \setmainfont{Palatino} % Unfortunately, a system font % This is the troublesome line: \catcode `\—=13 \protected\def—{\nobreak\textemdash\allowbreak} \begin{document} The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy—but pretty—dog. \end{document}

They also partially appear as text in the compilation result (see above). Background: I have a 250-page dissertation in the works (with Libertine and Biolinum as main fonts, and with loads of maths), everything was fine until yesterday when I opened the Miktex console and fell for its suggestion to update. The Miktex installation before the update was from 2023. I've tried System Restore several times (no success), reinstalling Miktex several times (no success). The dissertation does not compile anymore, at all. Not sure whether the font problem is the only one, but considering that even Hello world does not compile, it's probably a good place to start. I'm happy about any suggestions!

I tried making a vertical line in a matrix and I found two workarounds: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \makeatletter \renewcommand*\env@matrix[1][*\c@MaxMatrixCols c]{% \hskip -\arraycolsep \let\@ifnextchar\new@ifnextchar \array{#1}} \makeatother \begin{document} \[ \begin{bmatrix}[cccc|c] 1 & 0 & 3 & -1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 & -1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ \end{bmatrix} \] \[ \left( \begin{array}{cccc|c} 1 & 0 & 3 & -1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 & -1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ \end{array} \right) \] \end{document} But I wanted to use this on the following matrix: \begin{pmatrix} -2 & 2 & -1 \\ 2 & -3 & 1 \\ 2& -1 & 1 \end{pmatrix} Also with zeros at the end of every line. But having a negative in very column doesn't seem to work.

I'm looking for a simple solution (without adding a new package, if possible) to horizontally center a quotation on the page. Here's a MWE to show my issue: \RequirePackage[l2tabu,orthodox]{nag} \documentclass[11pt,twoside]{report} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[tt=false]{libertinus} \usepackage[french]{babel} \usepackage[stretch=50]{microtype} \usepackage[letterpaper,left=1.25in,right=1in,top=0.5in,bottom=0.5in,includeheadfoot,headheight=15pt,showframe]{geometry} \begin{document} Some introduction text to see the vertical spacing : { \addtolength\leftmargini{1in} \begin{quotation} \itshape Some quote line here \par A funny line \par Another funky line of cynic text \par Let shave your face \par Burma-Shave \end{quotation} } Some text line here to show up the vertical space. \end{document} Here's a preview of what this code is doing: As you can currently see, the quotation isn't centered. Is there a simple way in centering the block of text on the page? And I don't understand the "i" in the command leftmargini. What is this?

Context I would like to write a LaTeX class for notes taking that renders the closest possible to the text arrangement of the source code. Question As a step towards this goal, I would like to create a class that renders line breaks the same way they were typed in the source .tex file. Such a class would not only make a source document render a line break between two seperate lines, it would more exactly render the exact number of line breaks that separate two separate lines. Besides this, I would like to keep the possibility of using macros (and their expansion behaviours) in my document, thus the use of the environment verbatim and alike does not seem to be a solution. Also, the ideal is that the class isn't likely to enter in conflict with other packages, for instance by redefining macros such as \par of which most packages are dependant. Finally, I would like not having to write any explicit instruction related to this purpose in the source document, i.e. the .cls file should carry the entire responsibility of the well-functioning of this features. As an example, the goal class would have the two following behaviours : Behaviour 1 Source code \documentclass{my-notesclass} \begin{document} First line Second line Third line \end{document} Result Behaviour 2 Source code \documentclass{my-notesclass} \begin{document} First line Second line Third line Fourth line \end{document} Result Findings First behaviour The first behaviour can be achieved by using the command \obeylines as such : \begin{document} \obeylines First line Second Line Third line \end{document} But there is still the question of using carefully the command \AtBeginDocument in combination to \obeylines in the .cls file (i.e. \AtBeginDocument{\obeylines}), in a way that avoids conflicts with other packages that could also make use of \AtBeginDocument. Those conflicts ; besides being theoretically suspectable because of \obeylines's work with changing catcodes, which I don't know much about to be honest ; effectively happen when calling \usepackage{mdframed} after \documentclass{my-notesclass} in the .tex source file. However, calling \usepackage{mdframed} or \RequirePackage{mdframed} in the my-notesclass.cls class file itself doesn't produce errors dues to conflicts, and even impedes such errors to be produced when now calling \usepackage{mdframed} after \documentclass{my-notesclass} in the .tex source file, for a reason that I suspect to be that since the package mdframed has already been one time (in the my-notesclass.cls class file) its second call (after \documentclass{my-notesclass} in the .tex source file, where it is problematic) is ignored. I therefore think that a potential solution to this conflict problem is finding a way to force \AtBeginDocument{\obeylines} to operate after every other invoked package, which I haven't searched thouroughly how to do yet (besides just not using the \usepackage statements that appear to be problematic in the .tex source file) so any suggestion on this point would be really appreciated. Second behaviour However, the second behaviour is the one that seems to be the real challenge, I haven't been able to come with a functional solution at all, not even when accepting to make compromises. Conclusion Any suggestion on either first or second behaviour' solutions would be truly appreciated, and I stay available to provide any additionnal information related to my request. P.S. I am open to using LuaTeX if helpful.

I am using biblatex with the chem-angew style for my chemistry thesis. I want all my in-text citations to appear as superscripts automatically. main.tex \documentclass[11pt]{report} \usepackage{geometry} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{hyperref} \usepackage{csquotes} \usepackage[backend=biber,style=chem-angew]{biblatex} \let\oldcite\cite \renewcommand{\cite}[1]{\textsuperscript{\oldcite{#1}}} \addbibresource{bibliography.bib} \begin{document} Here is some text\cite{Smith2020}. \printbibliography \end{document} bibliography.bib @article{Smith2020, author = {John Smith and Jane Doe}, title = {A Study on Random Chemical Reactions}, journal = {Journal of Imaginary Chemistry}, year = {2020}, volume = {42}, number = {7}, pages = {123--130}, doi = {10.1000/jic.2020.12345} } This works, but it feels like a hack. My question: Is there a cleaner or more “proper” way to make all \cite{} commands automatically appear as superscripts while still using biblatex with the chem-angew style? I would like a solution that is compatible with biber and doesn’t involve manually wrapping every \cite{} in \textsuperscript{}.

I want to compile the greek.tex file in Brian Hamilton Kelly's Greek fonts: https://ctan.org/pkg/kelly-greek-font. The file is available here: https://ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/greek/kelly. This is a very old file (last updated 1992-09-27) and when one tries to compile it using pdflatex, one gets the message Entering LaTeX 2.09 COMPATIBILITY MODE. The file does not compile and we get the following error. ! Undefined control sequence. l.105 \@addfontinfo \@vpt{\def\pgr{\@prtct\gr@vpt}% How do I compile this file? I want to see the Greek glyphs in the font, and the package does not seem to provide a compiled pdf/djvu to preview. My primary motivation is that the Greek glyphs are based on Knuth's Greek glyphs, and other Greek fonts are generally based on other designs, such as Didot.

In the process of hopefully migrating some documents from pdflatex that use Computer Modern fonts (mostly Sans) to LuaLaTeX, I am looking at the different variants that have evolved since the original METAFONT Computer Modern family. The good news for me is that the differences seem to be smaller than it first appeared, both regarding glyphs and metrics. The most prominent difference in Latin Modern with “plain English characters” is that the dot on the lowercase letter “i” is a bit lower, at least in the Sans variants (except in ligatures like “fi” where the height of the dot matches the too of the “f”). Was that a conscious choice in Latin Modern? Or maybe already in an earlier variant which I could not find, yet? (Computer Modern Unicode and CM-Super seem to have the original height of the dot on the “i”.) CTAN does list various Computer Modern variants and there is also some info in its external references, but I was wondering if there is maybe additional historical info about the evolution of “Computer Modern” variants, maybe a TUGboat article about that or maybe that someone who was already somewhat involved at the time would still remember? Below some examples with sources and — to make sure — the font that was actually used from the console log, and some differences noticed in the example text. pdflatex / Computer Modern (the reference; same result with \usepackage{amsfonts}, as expected): % !TEX TS-program = pdflatex \documentclass{article} \renewcommand\familydefault{\sfdefault} \begin{document} Liegenstraße 95 in “larger” Wil… % </usr/local/texlive/2025/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/amsfonts/cm/cmss10.pfb> \end{document} pdflatex / CM-Super: % !TEX TS-program = pdflatex \documentclass{article} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \renewcommand\familydefault{\sfdefault} \begin{document} Liegenstraße 95 in “larger” Wil… % </usr/local/texlive/2025/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/cm-super/sfss1000.pfb> \end{document} (Different “ß” and different spacing before “, rest same incl. “i”.)

LuaLaTeX / Latin Modern: % !TEX TS-program = lualatex \documentclass{article} \renewcommand\familydefault{\sfdefault} \begin{document} Liegenstraße 95 in “larger” Wil… % </usr/local/texlive/2025/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmsans10-regular.otf> \end{document} Here the dot on the “i” is a bit lower. Also, the “a” has the same metric but is shifted a bit to the right. Also, more space inside “...”, and also denser ellipsis. Diff between LM and AMS OpenType (would be practically the same to pdflatex / Computer Modern, but wanted to stick to OpenType, into the future): The dot on the “i” is lowered and the “a” is shifted, otherwise letters just shifted a tiny little bit, but maybe that would be just a rendering artefact/limitation, at some point becomes the princess and the pea… But overall, seems like an “AMS to OpenType x Latin Modern” (as new font or maybe a virtual font on-the-fly) could already come close to the original pdflatex / Computer Modern look and feel for texts that could already be typset with the limitations regarding language support of pdflatex / Computer Modern. Added same day: Here’s a diff between LuaLaTeX / Latin Modern and pdflatex / Computer Modern, almost only the dot on the ”i” and the shift of the “a” are different, the other letters shifted in the diff above was just that was more condensed with LuaLaTeX / ”AMS OpenType” as I had mentioned but forgot about again.

Note: This question has been closed as off-topic on stackoverflow.com. I believe it's on-topic here under the [ipe] Tag. How can you draw a parabola in ipe? Usually, I use "Splines [I]" but it's not exactly convenient, as I need to construct four control points so that they correspond to a degree-elevated Bézier curve. Recently, I noticed the option "Ipelets > Goodies > Make parabolas". However, I am failing to guess the correct inputs. Here's what I tried: Make a line segment using "Lines and polylines [P]." Create a point using "Marks [M]." Select the line, press "Shift" and select the point. Go to "Ipelets > Goodies > Make parabolas." This fails with the following message. Neither in the manual, nor googling around have I found any further hints. Ideas?

MWE: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{anyfontsize} \usepackage[fontsize = 40]{fontsize} \begin{document} \centering \changefontsize{40} aaa \end{document} Notice how I am changing the font to the same size, yet the problem still happens. The large font size makes it easier to see that the line is off-center. Result: If I swap the order of \changefontsize and \centering or remove \changefontsize, the text will be correctly centered. Why is this?

I have the following code to create a tikzpicture of a labelling algorithm. However, I am currently not satisfied with the way it looks right now. Every looks to big and to much spread out. How can I create a more condense but still clear version of it. For (1); the vertical space between the boxes should be smaller. (2) the box height should be decreased and (3) the text inside the box should be more condense. The font size could be decreased as well. This is my code: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{amsmath} \usetikzlibrary{positioning, arrows.meta, shapes.multipart, calc} \usepackage{lipsum} \begin{document} \lipsum[1] \begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \begin{tikzpicture}[ scale=1, % --- STYLES --- node distance=2.5cm and 3cm, font=\sffamily\footnotesize, % Label Box labelnode/.style={ rectangle split, rectangle split parts=2, draw=black!80, rounded corners, fill=gray!5, align=center, inner sep=3pt, minimum width=2.1cm }, % Infeasible (MS Pruning) - Rot infeasible/.style={ labelnode, draw=red!80, fill=red!5, dashed }, % Dominated (History Dominance) - Lila dominated/.style={ labelnode, draw=violet!80, fill=violet!5, dashed }, % Optimal Path Node - Grün optimal/.style={ labelnode, draw=green!50!black, fill=green!10, line width=1pt }, % Edges worker/.style={-{Latex[length=3mm]}, blue!70!black, thick}, ai/.style={-{Latex[length=3mm]}, orange!80!black, thick}, optedge/.style={worker, line width=1.5pt, green!40!black}, prunededge/.style={-{Latex[length=3mm]}, red!70, dashed}, domedge/.style={-{Latex[length=3mm]}, violet!70, dashed} ] % --- ZEITACHSE --- % Verschiebung nach oben (y=7) und Skalierung x (Faktor 3.2) \draw[->, thick, gray] (0, 7) -- (10.5, 7) node[right] {Time $t$}; \foreach \x in {0,1,2,3} \node[gray] at (\x*3.2, 7.3) {$t=\x$}; % --- KNOTEN --- % t=0 \node[labelnode] (start) at (0,0) { \textbf{Start} \nodepart{second} $V=0$\\$\omega=0$ }; % t=1 % Worker \node[optimal] (t1_w) at (3.2, 2.0) { \textbf{W1} \nodepart{second} $V=3$\\$\omega=1.0$\\$h=[1]$ }; % AI \node[labelnode] (t1_a) at (3.2, -2.0) { \textbf{A1} \nodepart{second} $V=1$\\$\omega=0.3$\\$h=[0]$ }; % t=2 % PATH A: \node[optimal] (t2_ww) at (6.4, 3.8) { \textbf{W $\to$ W} \nodepart{second} $V=6$\\$\omega=2.0$\\$h=[1,1]$ }; % PATH B: \node[labelnode] (t2_aw) at (6.4, 0) { \textbf{AI $\to$ W} \nodepart{second} $V=4$\\$\omega=1.3$\\$\mathbf{h=[0,1]}$ }; % PATH C: \node[dominated] (t2_wa) at (6.4, -2.5) { \textbf{W $\to$ AI} \nodepart{second} \textit{Dominated}\\$V=4$\\$\omega=1.3$\\$\mathbf{h=[1,0]}$ }; % PATH D: \node[infeasible] (t2_aa) at (6.4, -4.5) { \textbf{AI $\to$ AI} \nodepart{second} \textit{Pruned}\\$h=[0,0]$ }; % PATH A+: W -> W -> W \node[optimal] (t3_www) at (9.6, 4.8) { \textbf{3 Workers} \nodepart{second} $V=9$\\$\omega=3.0$\\Target Met }; % --- Arcs --- % t0 -> t1 \draw[optedge] (start) -- (t1_w) node[midway, above, sloped] {W (+3)}; \draw[ai] (start) -- (t1_a) node[midway, below, sloped] {AI (+1)}; % t1 -> t2 \draw[optedge] (t1_w) -- (t2_ww) node[midway, above, sloped] {W (+3)}; \draw[ai] (t1_w) -- (t2_wa) node[midway, below, sloped, pos=0.3] {AI (+1)}; \draw[worker] (t1_a) -- (t2_aw) node[midway, above, sloped, pos=0.4] {W (+3)}; \draw[prunededge] (t1_a) -- (t2_aa) node[midway, below, sloped] {Violation}; % t2 -> t3 \draw[optedge] (t2_ww) -- (t3_www) node[midway, above, sloped] {W (+3)}; % --- DOMINANCE --- \draw[->, violet, thick] (t2_aw) -- (t2_wa) node[midway, right, align=left, font=\scriptsize, xshift=2mm] {\textbf{Dominance Check}}; % --- NOTES BEREICH UNTER DEM PLOT --- \node[align=left, text width=12cm, anchor=north west, font=\sffamily\small] at (-0.5, -5.5) { \textbf{Notes:}\\ }; \end{tikzpicture} \caption{Your caption here} \label{fig:your-label} \end{figure} \lipsum[2] \end{document}

In earlier versions (verified with v9.1) of the Astronomy & Astrophysics template, it was possible to remove the line numbers by \documentclass[desactivate]{aa}. However, in the current version (9.3) this does not compile. How do I fix this. A current version of the template with a some content can be found on overleaf. A MWE is here: \documentclass{aa} \usepackage{lipsum} \begin{document} \title{Astronomy \& Astrophysics \LaTeX\ template} \author{M. Example\inst{1}} \institute{nowhere} \abstract{no context}{aimless}{stupid method}{without results}{or conclusions} \maketitle \lipsum[1] \end{document} Note that line numbers are only printed if \maketitle is present.
