I am trying to make captions smaller but since adding metadata for alt text use I cannot control the caption size! The document starts with this: \DocumentMetadata{} \documentclass[12pt]{report} and then I have the other packages including the tag PDF and caption parts of the pre-amble. I have tried them in different order and have tried putting the caption part basically everywhere, but the font is stuck at the default. %tag PDF \usepackage{tagpdf} \tagpdfsetup{ activate-all, uncompress, tabsorder=structure, nofloat=true } % Caption setup \usepackage{caption} \usepackage{subcaption} \captionsetup{ font=footnotesize, labelfont=bf } The goal would be to have small footnotsize captions while also being able to use alttext to describe figures. If I remove the \DocumentMetadata{} and tag PDF sections the captions fontsize can be changed by putting the caption block anywhere in the preamble.

I have two minipages side by side (the left one being larger than the right one) and want to have a wraptable under the right one (of same width). If I do this, I have 2 problem: The wraptable is wider than the minipage if I specify the same width. Why is this the case? Since the left minipage is larger, there is space beneath the right minipage. I want the wraptable to begin right under the smaller minipage. How can I do this? (I have multiple such pages, where the size of the smaller minipage may vary. How can I get the wraptable to the correct space automatically, depending on the space available) MWE: \documentclass{report} \usepackage{showframe} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{wrapfig} \usepackage{lipsum} \begin{document}\noindent \begin{minipage}[t][][b]{0.65\textwidth} \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{example-image-a} \end{minipage} \begin{minipage}[t][][b]{0.34\textwidth} \begin{tabular}{cc} aa&aa\\aa&aa\\aa&aa\\ \end{tabular} \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{example-image-b} \end{minipage} \begin{wraptable}{r}{0.34\textwidth} \begin{tabular}{cc} aa&aa\\aa&aa\\aa&aa\\aa&aa\\aa&aa\\aa&aa\\aa&aa\\aa&aa\\aa&aa\\ \end{tabular} \end{wraptable} \lipsum[1] \end{document}

This post is partly the follow-up of my previous question and the samcarter's excellent answer based on the "wheel". However, I came across a more easy solution with nfolds and offset here. Unfortunely, I found it only work with closed path, but not an open one: % Source - https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/738063 \documentclass[tikz,border=5pt]{standalone} \usetikzlibrary{patterns,nfold} \makeatletter \tikzset{ remove inside/.code={% \tikzset{even odd rule}% \tikz@addmode{\pgfsyssoftpath@getcurrentpath\tikz@temp \pgfoffsetpath\tikz@temp{#1}}}} \makeatother \tikzset{ EDR/.style ={ line width=+1pt, preaction={remove inside=#13mm, fill=white},%<-add `fill=white' as preaction preaction={remove inside=#13mm, pattern=north west lines, pattern color=black!75} } } \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[thick,teal] (0,0) -- (10,4); \draw[EDR] (1,0) -- (4.5,1.5) -- (4,4) -- (1,3.5) -- (2.5,2) -- cycle; \draw[magenta,EDR=-] (5,0) rectangle (9,4) ; \draw[cyan,EDR] (6,1) rectangle (8,3); \end{tikzpicture} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[EDR] (-3,0) -- (-1,0) -- (-1,2) -- (1,2) -- (1,0) -- (3,0); \draw[thick,teal] (-3,1) -- (3,1); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} which gives: I wonder whether any extension could be added with the thought of nfold and \pgfoffsetpath?

ISO 8601 dates are written as 2026-05-01. Using these dates in LaTeX generates errors of: Wrong length of dash may have been used. What is the solution to this? Suppress warning? Or use -- instead? Neither seems correct. -- Seems people need an example??? \documentclass{article} \begin{document} 2026-05-01 \end{document}

Consider the code: \documentclass[12pt]{book} \usepackage{bookman,scalerel} \textwidth=4.00in \begin{document} \thispagestyle{empty} \vstretch{2}{\textnormal{\Huge{{\bf CAN THIS SOMEWHAT LONG TITLE BE EASILY BROKEN?}}}} \end{document} which produces the output: QUESTION: How may I easily (without resorting to two separate such titles) break this \textnormal title into two pieces; say, "CAN THIS SOMEWHAT LONG TITLE" and "BE EASILY BROKEN?" with aesthetically sufficient vertical space between the two? Remark: Standard tricks such as vspace{8pt} or \\[8pt] do not work. Thank you.

How to avoid and make the code more neater?

I am using lualatex in the TeX Live distribution to generate pdf-files. The TeX Live installation is in a multi-user computer system, where users of TeX Live have read-only file permission to the installation. I have noted two configuration files, ../texlive/YYYY/texmf.cnf and ../texlive/YYYY/texmfcnf.lua where I interpreted the latter to be a configuration file for lualatex (but maybe that's incorrect?). Both files contains variables like TEXMFHOME, TEXMFVAR, TEXMFCONFIG but they are set to different search paths. When I run lualatex it seem to use values from ../texlive/YYYY/texmf.cnf and not the lua-file. When are the variables set in ../texlive/YYYY/texmfcnf.lua used? Is there a precedance order to use variables from ../texlive/YYYY/texmf.cnf and ../texlive/YYYY/texmfcnf.lua, for example if TEXMFVAR is not in the first file use it from the latter when lualatex run? Recommended reading about texmfcnf.lua?

I configured a set of choices mode: {fooa, foob, bar}, which will be loaded as the class option. I also configured 3 set of keys: { fooa / set }, { foob / set }, { bar / set }. My goal is that when loading the class option, the string \g_classoption_mode_str will be set as the value of the key mode, then, the macro \docset #1 will execute \keys_set:nn { \g_classoption_mode_str / set } {#1}. For example, if I write \documentclass[mode = foob]{mycls} Then, \docset{} will load the key set: { foob / set }. The following is my MWE: In mycls.cls: I've assigned different initial values for the test -> \testtl key. \ProvidesExplClass {mycls} {2026-05-21} {v0.0.1} {} \str_new:N \g_classoption_mode_str \keys_define:nn { classoption } { mode .choices:nn = { fooa, foob, bar } { \exp_args:Ne \AtEndOfClass { \str_gset_eq:NN \g_classoption_mode_str \l_keys_choice_str } }, mode .initial:n = { fooa }, } \keys_define:nn { fooa / set } { test .tl_set:N = \testtl, test .initial:n = { fooa }, } \keys_define:nn { foob / set } { test .tl_set:N = \testtl, test .initial:n = { foob }, } \keys_define:nn { bar / set } { test .tl_set:N = \testtl, test .initial:n = { barr }, } \ProcessKeyOptions [ classoption ] \LoadClass { article } \DeclareDocumentCommand \docset { m } { \keys_set:nn { \g_classoption_mode_str / set } {#1} } In test.tex: \documentclass[mode = bar]{mycls} \docset{} \begin{document} \testtl 1 \end{document} Under this MWE, I hope \testtl will output fooa if the class option is mode = fooa, foob if the class option is mode = foob, bar if the class option is mode = barr. But the MWE returns the error: Missing control sequence inserted. <inserted text> Update: 2026-05-21 If I remove the line in .cls \exp_args:Ne \AtEndOfClass The error disappeared. But the output isn't right, if I type \documentclass[mode = fooa]{mycls} \testtl will output barr.

Suppose I need to plot data from many files using pgfplots, and these files are not properly formatted (8 header lines not prefixed with % or #, and commas instead of periods as decimal separators). This can be managed using the following code: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{pgfplots} \pgfplotsset{compat=1.18} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis} \addplot table [skip first n=8,/pgf/number format/read comma as period] {data1.dat}; \addplot table [skip first n=8,/pgf/number format/read comma as period] {data2.dat}; \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} But it is tedious to have to specify these table options each time \addplot table appears. I haven't found any way in the pgfplots documentation to declare these parameters in a (semi-)global manner. Have I missed something?

I wanted to make the integral sign larger. Saw accepted answer in TeX Gyre Pagella Math Integral sign much too small which says to use \everydisplay{\Umathoperatorsize\displaystyle=5ex} I added it and it worked. But when I tried to compile old file which was using \begin{split} .. \end{split} inside equation I get lualatex error. Note the code did not have alignment & inside the equation. I read now that split likes to have & in the long equation. But this old code compiled OK as is for years with no error. Only when I just added \everydisplay I see this error ! Package amsmath Error: \begin{split} won't work here. I can change my Latex to use multline may be. But the question is why this error? Is this known error? Can I still keep the above \everydisplay and keep using the split? Or may be I should look for different way to make the integral sign larger than this method. I am using texlive 2026 on linux. MWE \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \everydisplay{\Umathoperatorsize\displaystyle=5ex} \begin{document} $\int \sin x dx$ \begin{equation*} \begin{split} 0.0412493 x-0.0826459 x^3+0.0416667 x^4-0.00034374 x^5-1.51283*10^-8 x^6\\ +0.0000984213 x^7-0.0000248515 x^8 +1.64129*10^-7 x^9-3.28259*10^-8 x^{10} \end{split} \end{equation*} \end{document} Compiled >lualatex 5.tex This is LuaHBTeX, Version 1.24.0 (TeX Live 2026) restricted system commands enabled.

The following is an MWE. My question is how to change the font size of 'Contents' (by the way, 'List of Figures', 'List of Tables') in header and body separately? That is to say, for example, how to change the size of the title 'Contents' on the contents page, while dispaly it in header according to the size command in \fancyhead (same question for 'List of Figures' and 'List of Tables')? \documentclass{book} \usepackage{lipsum} \renewcommand{\contentsname}{\Large Contents} % **The points where problems occur** \renewcommand{\listfigurename}{\Large Figure} \renewcommand{\listtablename}{\Large Table} \begin{document} \frontmatter \tableofcontents \listoffigures \listoftables \mainmatter \chapter{Cha1} \section{sec1} \lipsum[1-8] \end{document} Unfortunately, the \renewcommand command simultaneously change the size in the header, even when I use the package fancyhdr to design a new page style as follows, where the size command in \fancyhead doesn't work for 'Contents', 'List of Figures' or 'List of Tables' at the time. \documentclass{book} \usepackage{fancyhdr} \pagestyle{fancy} \fancypagestyle{frontmatterstyle}{ \fancyhf{} \fancyhead[EC]{\footnotesize\leftmark} % **Size command doesn't work for contentsname/listfigurename/listtablename in header** \fancyhead[OC]{\footnotesize Test} } \usepackage{lipsum} \renewcommand{\contentsname}{\Large Contents} % **The points where problems occur** \renewcommand{\listfigurename}{\Large Figure} \renewcommand{\listtablename}{\Large Table} \begin{document} \frontmatter \pagestyle{frontmatterstyle} \tableofcontents \listoffigures \listoftables \mainmatter \chapter{Cha1} \section{sec1} \lipsum[1-8] \end{document} I tried the relevant packages like sectsty, titlesec or tocloft, but I still failed. I don't know how to change them separately. Could someone do me a favor? Thanks a lot!

I was looking for Mathematical Pi One/Two/... clones these days. I noticed that in an old question of mine, I was looking for Mathematical Pi One fonts but at that time I knew almost nothing about how to define and use .ttf fonts in a .tex document. I was experimenting with the following complete example using Arrus BT: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{unicode-math} %\usepackage[lite]{mtpro2} \newfontface\ArrusBT[ ]{arrusbtroman.ttf} \AtBeginDocument{ \newcommand\piN{\mathord{\text{\ArrusBT\symbol{"03C0}}}} } \begin{document} $C=2\piN r$ \end{document} but the use of mtpro2 (lite) with unicode-math generates incompatibilities for me (related mtpro2 and unicode-math). Is it currently possible to overcome this problem with expl3 or other tricks working with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX?

I see that there some questions and answers related to expanding arguments, but I just don't seem to get it. I'm writing a document in which I'd like to include hyperlinks to our institutional website. I want a macro like \mcmd{Opt}{report} that expands to \href{https://foo.com/extra/ui/command/Opt/ReportCmd.html}{\texttt{Opt.report}}. The problem I'm having is all about transforming "report" into "Report". I'm using the \mdoc macro for other links. Here's my MWE: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{mfirstuc} \usepackage{hyperref} \newcommand{\varn}[1]{\texttt{#1}} \newcommand{\mdoc}[2]{\href{https://foo.com/extra/#1}{#2}} \newcommand*{\mcmd}[2]{\mdoc{ui/command/#1/#2Cmd.html}{\varn{#1.#2}}} \newcommand*{\mcmdu}[2]{\mdoc{ui/command/#1/\makefirstuc{#2}Cmd.html}{\varn{#1.#2}}} \begin{document} \mcmd{Opt}{report} \mcmdu{Opt}{report} \end{document} but \mcmd{Opt}{report} gives me "\href{https://foo.com/extra/ui/command/Opt/reportCmd.html}{\texttt{Opt.report}}". I want "Opt/reportCmd.html" to be "Opt/ReportCmd.html" but "Opt.report" to stay as is. I've tried using \makefirstuc in my \mcmdu macro, but it's not expanding the way I need it to. \mcmdu{Opt}{report} seems to give me \href{https://foo.com/extra/ui/command/Opt/%5Cmakefirstuc%2520%7Breport%7DCmd.html}{\texttt{Opt.report}} I get the impression that this is easier in LaTeX3. While I need to spend some hours learning LaTeX3, I welcome solutions using LaTeX3 or LaTeX2e. I'm happy to have anything that works 🙂 EDIT 5/20: I absentmindedly left out that I need this to preserve case after the first character (for camel-case inputs): \mcmd{Opt}{initCov} should return \href{https://foo.com/extra/ui/command/Opt/InitCovCmd.html}{\texttt{Opt.initCov}}

I have a macro for typesetting AVMs depending on the font it is used the distance between the top of the AVM and the type (the first word in italics) is too large. I do not know the reason for this and more importantly, I have no idea how to fix it. It seems to be dependent on the word that is used. "extraposition" in the examples below. The MWE uses either the class scrartcl or langsci-book. langsci-book uses a different font and the problem appears. How can this be solved? A preferred solution would one that does not require manual correction. \documentclass[smallfont]{langscibook} % \documentclass{scrartcl} \usepackage{array} \usepackage{booktabs} \newcommand{\nliste}[1]{% \mbox{$\langle$\upshape\normalfont#1$\rangle$}% } \newcommand{\ms}[2][]{% \ifdim\lastskip=-1pt % flag value \mbox{}\\*[-.8\baselineskip]% \else \ifnum\lastpenalty=-10000 % other flag value \mbox{}\\*[-.8\baselineskip]% \fi \fi \mbox{% \delimiterfactor=1000 \delimitershortfall=0pt\tabcolsep=0pt% $\hspace{-2pt}\left[% \begin{tabular}{>{\upshape\scshape}l@{}>{\hspace*{5pt}\normalfont\itshape}l} \if\relax\detokenize{#1}\relax\else \multicolumn{2}{>{\normalfont\itshape}l}{#1}% \\% \fi% #2% \end{tabular}% \right]\hspace{-2pt}$% }% % \par\vspace{1mm}% \vspace{1mm}% } \newcommand{\ibox}[1]{{% \setlength{\fboxsep}{1.25pt}% \fbox{$\scriptstyle #1$}% }} \newcommand{\ind}[1]{\mbox{$_{\ibox{#1}}$}} \begin{document} \ms[extraposition]{ cat & \ms{ subj & \nliste{ \ibox{2} }\\ comps & \nliste{ \ldots{} \ibox{1} \ldots{} }\\ arg-st & \ms{ add-arg & \nliste{ \ldots{} \ibox{2} \ldots{} }\\ arg-list & \nliste{ \ldots{} \ibox{2} NP$_{it}$ \ldots{} \ibox{1} S[\emph{fin}] }\\ }\\ }\\ } \end{document} Edit: I think I now found the reason for my frustration. The space at the top depends on what else is in the AVM. The distance at the top of the AVM to "person" is different in the two AVMs. If you uncomment the code for the Mutter-AVM it gets worse. So maybe the array package is doing the harm and something else that does not add or remove space should be used. \documentclass{scrartcl} \usepackage{array} \newcommand{\ms}[2][]{% \ifdim\lastskip=-1pt % flag value \mbox{}\\*[-.8\baselineskip]% \else \ifnum\lastpenalty=-10000 % other flag value \mbox{}\\*[-.8\baselineskip]% \fi \fi \mbox{% \delimiterfactor=1000 \delimitershortfall=0pt\tabcolsep=0pt% $\hspace{-2pt}\left[% \begin{tabular}{>{\upshape\scshape}l@{}>{\hspace*{5pt}\normalfont\itshape}l} \if\relax\detokenize{#1}\relax\else % https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/762975/18561 % no added vertical spacing on top %\omit\span\omit \normalfont\itshape #1\hfill\mbox{}% % some points of vertical space on top added back in \omit\span\omit \normalfont\itshape\vrule height7pt width0pt\relax #1\hfill\mbox{}% \\\noalign{\vspace{2pt}}% \fi% #2% \end{tabular}% \right]\hspace{-2pt}$% }% % \par\vspace{1mm}% \vspace{1mm}% } \begin{document} \ms[person]{ vorname & Julia\\ nachname & Warbanow $\vee$ Barbanow\\ } \ms[person]{ vorname & max\\ nachname & meier\\ geburtstag & 10.10.1985\\ %mutter & \ms[person]{ % vorname & anna\\ % nachname & meier\\ % }\\ } \end{document}

LaTeX marks inserted inside of boxes are ignored. I want to set some material inside a \vbox then split that box if needed to allow for a page break. There are marks inserted inside the \vbox and I want them to work as normal across the page break. It seems like this should be possible using \mark_get_marks_for_reinsertion:nNN, but I don't understand how to make it work. How can I recover marks from the \vbox around the split?

I am trying to create an electrical circuit symbol motivated by the textbook Engineering Circuit Analysis (Edition 8, Hayt, Page 192, Figure 6.24). Here is the reference image of what I am trying to achieve: I want to define this into a new symbol in circuitikz. Ideally, I am looking for an elegant way to define this with three main anchor points: NodePlus, NodeMinus, and NodeOut. What is the best/most elegant way to wrap this drawing into a reusable component where I can easily connect wires to the three defined input/output nodes? my code \documentclass{article} \usepackage{circuitikz} \begin{document} \begin{circuitikz}[european] \node (NodeMinus) at (0,0) {}; \node (NodePlus) at (0,3) {}; \node (NodeOut) at (6,1.5) {}; %% input resistor \draw(NodeMinus.center) node[above]{$-$} to[short, o-] ++(1,0) node[below]{$-$} to[R, l_=$R_i$] (1,3) node[above]{$+$} to[short, -o] (NodePlus.center) node[below]{$+$}; %% input voltage label \path(NodeMinus.center) -- (NodePlus.center) node[midway]{$v_d$}; %% output voltage source and output resitor \draw(NodeOut.center) to[short, o-] ++(-1,0) -- ++(0,1) to[R,l_=$R_o$] ++(-2,0) to[american controlled voltage source, l=$A\cdot v_d$] ++(0,-2.5) node[ground]{}; \end{circuitikz} \end{document} my output

The following is an MWE. My question is how to keep the sizes of \contentsname, \listfigurename, and \listtablename unchanged or consistent with other elements in the header, while changing their sizes or fonts in the body? \documentclass{book} \usepackage{etoolbox} \usepackage{fancyhdr} \makeatletter \def\headrule{{\if@fancyplain\let\headrulewidth\plainheadrulewidth\fi \hrule\@height 1.2pt \@width\headwidth\vskip1pt \hrule\@height \headrulewidth\@width\headwidth }}% \makeatother \pagestyle{fancy} \fancypagestyle{frontmatterstyle}{ \fancyhf{} \fancyhead[OC]{\footnotesize\leftmark} % **Size command doesn't work for contentsname/listfigurename/listtablename in header** \fancyhead[EC]{\footnotesize Test} \renewcommand{\thepage}{\Roman{page}} \fancyfoot[C]{\footnotesize\thepage} } \appto\frontmatter{\pagestyle{frontmatterstyle}} \ProcessOptions\relax \pagestyle{fancy} \fancypagestyle{mainmatterstyle}{ \fancyhf{} \fancyhead[OC]{\small\leftmark} \fancyhead[EC]{\small Test} \fancyfoot[C]{\small\thepage} } \appto\mainmatter{\pagestyle{mainmatterstyle}} \fancypagestyle{plain}{ \thispagestyle{mainmatterstyle} } \renewcommand\contentsname{\huge Contents} % **The points where problems occur** \renewcommand\listfigurename{\huge Figure} \renewcommand\listtablename{\huge Table} \begin{document} \frontmatter \tableofcontents \listoffigures \listoftables \mainmatter \chapter{Cha1} \section{sec1} \section{sec2} \end{document} The unsuitable result is as follows. It seems that \fancyhead[OC]{\footnotesize\leftmark} doesn't work for \contentsname, \listfigurename or \listtablename. And I want it to be as follows, but I'm stuck. Could someone do me a favor? Thanks in advance!

After updating the l3kernel package to its latest version, I cannot compile anymore my Latex Files and I get the following error message in my console window /usr/local/texlive/2026/texmf-dist/tex/latex/spath3/spath3.sty:3112: LaTeX Error: Variant form same as base fo rm '\spath_maybe_gsplit_curve:NNn'. For immediate help type H <return>. ... l.3112 ...\spath_maybe_gsplit_curve:NNn {NNn, NNV} My preamble use librairies from TikZ. Hopefully using Texlive Utility I was able to restore my installation to the previous version before the update. What else could be done to get around this incompatibility?

I’ve been trying to make this image in LaTeX, but I’m not able to replicate it at all. The uppermost and lowermost down-arrow are becoming super squished. Any help in reproducing it would be really appreciated. Thank you. Edit: here is the code I used and by super squished i mean the downarrow is not visible as you can see by running the code... \[ \begin{tikzcd}[column sep=huge] \mathcal{C} \arrow[r, bend left=80, "I\circ F"{name=IF}] \arrow[r, bend left=40, "J\circ F"{name=JF}] \arrow[r, "J\circ G"{inner sep=0,fill=white,anchor=center,name=JG}] \arrow[r, bend right=40, "K\circ G"'{name=KG}] \arrow[r, bend right=80, "K\circ H"'{name=KH}] \arrow[from=IF.south-|JG,to=JF.north-|JG,Rightarrow,shorten=4pt,"\gamma F"] \arrow[from=JF.south-|JG,to=JG,Rightarrow,shorten=4pt,"J\alpha"] \arrow[from=JG,to=KG.north-|JG,Rightarrow,shorten=4pt,"\delta G"] \arrow[from=KG.south-|JG,to=KH.north-|JG,Rightarrow,shorten=4pt,"K\beta"] & \mathcal{E}. \end{tikzcd} \] this is the ususal procedure i use when there are less arrows (inspired by an answer which i cannot recall whome) and it works but it does not for this.

How to convert pdflatex to latex so we don't have to use package epstopdf and we can directly run eps figures without converting them into pdf.

I am using code from Old math fonts with proper math table which works great. I'd like to use that font. But once I add package accents lualatex gives error. I am using laulatex with TL 2026 on Linux Ubuntu Here is MWE (same code as above in preamble) \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{microtype} \usepackage{unicode-math} \setmainfont[% ItalicFont=OldStandard-Italic.otf, BoldFont=OldStandard-Bold.otf, BoldItalicFont=OldStandard-BoldItalic.otf, SmallCapsFeatures={Numbers=OldStyle}, FakeBold=0.1]{OldStandard-Regular.otf} \setmathfont[FakeBold=1]{OldStandard-Math.otf} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{accents} \begin{document} \[ \left( i-1\right) \bar{z}=\left( 2-3i\right) ^{2}% \] \end{document} Compiled using lualatex gives >lualatex 4.tex This is LuaHBTeX, Version 1.24.0 (TeX Live 2026) restricted system commands enabled.

Consider the code: \documentclass{book} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{tikz} %\definecolor{cadmiumgreen}{rgb}{0.0, 0.42, 0.235} \definecolor{Gold}{RGB}{228,168,73} \begin{document} \thispagestyle{empty} \begin{center} \begin{tikzpicture} \clip (0,0) ellipse[x radius=4.25cm, y radius=5.5cm]; %\fill[cadmiumgreen] ellipse[x radius=4.25cm, y radius=5.5cm]; \node at (0,0) {\includegraphics[scale=1.31,clip, trim = 0 0 0 0]{example-image-a}}; \draw[line width=12pt,Gold!75!black] (225:4.25cm and 5.5cm) arc[start angle=225, end angle=-45, x radius=4.25cm, y radius=5.5cm]; \end{tikzpicture} \end{center} \end{document} with the output: QUESTION: How may I get the from to go around the ellipse on the outside? (In other words, I don't want any part of the interior of the elliptical image to be covered by the frame.) Thank you.

I am currently solving some Putnam problems for fun, and I wanted to visualize a few geometry questions. One exercise goes as follows: Let S be a spherical cap, where the distance between two points is given by the length of the shortest great-circle arc. Then there is no distance-preserving mapping to the Euclidean plane. I solved the exercise (which is not particularly difficult), and now I want to visualize the cap. I managed to draw almost everything except the distance between the north pole and a point on the rim of the cap. This is what I have so far: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[scale=3] \draw (0,0) circle (1); \draw[thick] (-1,0) arc (180:360:1 and 0.28); \draw (-1,0) arc (180:0:1 and 0.28); \draw[dashed] (-0.85,0.5) arc (180:360:0.85 and 0.18); \draw[dashed] (-0.85,0.5) arc (180:0:0.85 and 0.18); \fill (0,1.) circle (0.015); \node[right] at (0,1.1) {$N$}; \fill (0,0.5) circle (0.015); \node[left] at (0,0.5) {$O$}; \coordinate (P) at (0.85,0.5); \fill (P) circle (0.015); \draw[thick] (0,0.5) -- (P); \node[above] at (0.4,0.5) {$r$}; \node[blue,right] at (0.45,0.93) {$R$}; \node[left] at (-0.88,0.55) {$C$}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} What is still missing is a spherical arc from the north pole to the rim. However, I would like it to appear three-dimensional, rather than like the current 2D curve, but instead more like this: I tried my best, but I have no idea how to achieve this. Can someone help me? Also, I think I only need the spherical cap itself, not the entire sphere.

Here is my minimal example (main.tex): \catcode`\{=11 \catcode`\}=11 hello}{ \bye I compiled it with tex main && dvipdfmx main.dvi and obtained main.pdf, which contains a single page printed as hello˝–. Actually, the issue could fixed up when I switch to a typewriter font: \catcode`\{=11 \catcode`\}=11 \tt hello}{ \bye Why does the default font produce this unexpected output? What is the underlying reason?
