TikZ

I'm not very skilled using TikZ but I wanted to use it for all the figures in my bachelors thesis. So far I created this TikZ-picture: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{patterns} \usetikzlibrary{patterns.meta} \usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathreplacing} \usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathmorphing} \usetikzlibrary{decorations.markings} \usetikzlibrary{snakes} \usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta} \usetikzlibrary{calc,patterns,angles,quotes} \usepackage[table]{xcolor} \definecolor{Minzgrün}{RGB}{0,140,79} \definecolor{Fenstergrau}{RGB}{128,128,128} \definecolor{Telegrau 4}{RGB}{230,230,230} \definecolor{Tomatenrot}{RGB}{140,28,0} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} [x=0.35cm,y=0.2cm,line cap=round,line join=round] \draw[line width=1.5pt] (17.5,12.5) arc [start angle=0, end angle=180, x radius=2.5, y radius=1]; \draw [black, line width=1pt] (16,13) -- (21,14) node [align=center,right]{Detector\\window}; \draw[line width=1.5pt] (19,2) arc [start angle=0, end angle=180, x radius=4, y radius=1.5]; \draw[black,line width=1.5pt] (5,0.5) -- (25,0.5) -- (25,2) -- (5,2) -- cycle; \draw[black,line width=1.5pt] (10,25) -- (10,12.5) -- (20,12.5) -- (20,25); \draw[black,line width=1.5pt] (12.5,17.5) -- (17.5,17.5) -- (17.5,20) -- (12.5,20) -- cycle; \fill[black,pattern=crosshatch dots] (12.5,17.5) -- (17.5,17.5) -- (17.5,20) -- (12.5,20) -- cycle; \draw [black,line width=1pt] (12,20) -- (8.5,21) node[align=center,left] {Energy-dispersive\\detector}; \draw[Fenstergrau,line width=1pt,postaction={decorate,decoration={markings,mark=at position 0.15 with{\arrow{>}},mark=at position 1 with {\arrow{>}}}}] (-5,4) -- (10,2) -- (25,4); \draw[Fenstergrau,line width=1pt,postaction={decorate,decoration={markings,mark=at position 0.15 with{\arrow{>}},mark=at position 1 with {\arrow{>}}}}] (5,4) -- (20,2) -- (35,4); \node[align=center] at (0,6.5){Incident beam}; \node[align=center] at (30,6.5){Reflected beam}; \draw[black,line width=1pt] (12.5,1.25) -- (10,-2.5) node [below, align=center] {Sample carrier\\(\textit{reflector})}; \draw[black,line width=1pt] (16,2.5) -- (21,-2.5) node [below, align=center] {Sample}; \draw[Minzgrün,line width=1.25pt,->,decorate,decoration={snake,amplitude=0.1cm,segment length=0.4cm, post length=0.2cm}](15,2.5) -- (15,17); \draw [black, line width=1pt] (14,8) -- (9,12) node [align=center, left] {Fluorescence\\radiation}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} But I would like to include the X-ray beams as wave fronts which interfere above the sample to form a standing wave like in this image: Sadly this is beyond my TikZ-skills. Maybe somebody can help me or tell me where to look for answers. Thanks a lot!

I would like to create a water level, i.e. a transparent flexible tube filled with water, so that the principle of communicating vessels is clearly illustrated. How can I represent the flexible tube, keeping it along the horizontal surface and making it run up the two vertical sides, so that the configuration is similar to the one shown in the image? Here my 1st MWE: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{tikzphysics} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[ line cap=round, line join=round ] \node[ ground, ground width=8.6cm, ground depth=3mm ] (G) at (0,0) {}; \node[ ground, ground width=3.2cm, ground depth=3mm, rotate=90 ] (GL) at (-3.5,1.6) {}; \node[ ground, ground width=3.2cm, ground depth=3mm, rotate=90 ] (GR) at (3.5,1.6) {}; \draw[dashed, thick] (-3.9,2.8) -- (4.2,2.8); \draw[thin] (-3.9,0) -- (-3.7,0); \node[left] at (-3.7,3.1) {\small 100.0}; \draw[thin] (-3.2,0) -- (-3.2,3.1); \draw[thin] (3.8,0) -- (3.8,3.1); \draw[thin] (3.7,0) -- (3.9,0); \node[right] at (3.9,3.1) {\small 100.0}; \draw[thin] (-4.3,0) -- (-3.8,0); \node[left] at (-4.3,0.08) {\small 0.00}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Now with Mathcha I have created the flexible tube, \documentclass{article} \usepackage[margin=0.5in]{geometry} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{tikzphysics} \definecolor{water}{RGB}{73,194,221} \pagestyle{empty} \begin{document} \centering \begin{tikzpicture}[x=1cm,y=1cm] \node[ ground, ground width=8.6cm, ground depth=3mm ] (G) at (0,0) {}; \node[ ground, ground width=3.2cm, ground depth=3mm, rotate=90 ] (GL) at (-3.5,1.6) {}; \node[ ground, ground width=3.2cm, ground depth=3mm, rotate=90 ] (GR) at (3.5,1.6) {}; \draw[dashed, thick] (-3.9,2.5) -- (4.2,2.5); \draw[thin] (-3.9,0) -- (-3.7,0); \node[left] at (-3.7,3.1) {\small 100.0}; \draw[thin] (-3.2,0) -- (-3.2,3.1); \draw[thin] (3.8,0) -- (3.8,3.1); \draw[thin] (3.7,0) -- (3.9,0); \node[right] at (3.9,3.1) {\small 100.0}; \draw[thin] (-4.3,0) -- (-3.8,0); \node[left] at (-4.3,0.08) {\small 0.00}; \begin{scope}[shift={(-6cm,-.9cm)}] \draw[gray!70,line width=7pt] (3.48,4.32) .. controls (3.48,3.98) and (3.71,3.58) ..

I want to get rather than Appending (0,0) circle (3.5) is fine but I am wondering whether there are any nicer approaches. odd even rule does not exist too. \documentclass[tikz,border=1cm,12pt]{standalone} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[ultra thick] \filldraw[fill=red,even odd rule] \foreach \i in {0,0.5,...,3.5}{(0,0) circle (\i)} (0,0) circle (3.5) % just a hack to invert the even odd rule ; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

I have come across an interesting difference in how a PDF produced by TikZ is rendered by different PDF viewers. The following MWE isolates the issue: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{patterns,fadings} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} % Pattern only \fill[draw,pattern=north west lines] (0,0) rectangle (3,.4); % Fading only \fill[draw,path fading=east] (0,-1) rectangle (3,-.6); % Pattern + fading \fill[draw,pattern=north west lines,path fading=east] (0,-2) rectangle (3,-1.6); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Left: Adobe Acrobat. Right: WinEdtPDF. The same PDF file is shown in both viewers. In WinEdtPDF the first two rectangles are rendered correctly. The problem appears only in the third one, where pattern=north west lines and path fading=east are used together: the hatching is not rendered correctly. Thus, pattern=north west lines works by itself, and path fading=east works by itself. The rendering difference appears only when the two TikZ mechanisms are combined. The same PDF is rendered correctly in Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox. The same defect as in WinEdtPDF is also visible in Google Drive's PDF preview. I initially reported this to the WinEdt developer. Alex Simonic explained that WinEdtPDF uses PDFium for rendering and that the behavior observed there is a limitation of PDFium rather than of WinEdtPDF itself: https://github.com/WinEdt-Team/WinEdt-Support/discussions/131#discussioncomment-18627725 So my question is about the TikZ/PDF side of this behavior: what does TikZ write into the PDF when a pattern and path fading are combined, and what is special about this construction that makes different PDF rendering engines handle it differently?

Is it possible to set shape border rotate to a new default for a particular shape? For example, say I want to define a shape (which I'll call trapezoid in the MWE) that is essentially a trapezium but it is rotated by 180° by default. For example, \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{shapes.geometric} \pgfdeclareshape{trapezoid}{% \nodeparts{text}% \inheritsavedanchors[from=trapezium]% \inheritbackgroundpath[from=trapezium]% \inheritanchorborder[from=trapezium]% \inheritanchor[from=trapezium]{text}% \inheritanchor[from=trapezium]{center}% \inheritanchor[from=trapezium]{north}% \inheritanchor[from=trapezium]{south}% \inheritanchor[from=trapezium]{east}% \inheritanchor[from=trapezium]{west}% \inheritanchor[from=trapezium]{north west}% \inheritanchor[from=trapezium]{north east}% \inheritanchor[from=trapezium]{south west}% \inheritanchor[from=trapezium]{south east}% \behindbackgroundpath{% \pgfpathmoveto{\lowerleftpoint}% \pgfpathlineto{\upperrightpoint}% }% }% \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \node [draw,trapezium,minimum size=1cm] {}; \node [draw=blue,trapezoid,minimum size=1cm,name=s] at (0,-1.25) {}; \node [draw=orange,trapezoid,minimum size=1cm,shape border rotate=180] at (0,-2.5) {}; % \foreach \anchor/\placement/\color in {north/above/orange,south/below/teal, % east/right/red,west/left/green,50/above/violet} % \draw [color=\color,shift=(s.\anchor)] plot [mark=x] coordinates {(0,0)}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} but both the blue and the orange shapes should be the same. Alternatively, the blue one could be narrow-end-on-top, and the orange one rotates 180° more and looks like the black one. Options I have considered: Define a new shape and a new set of keys to go with it that are very similar to trapezium except upside-down (this is the worst option) Define trapezoid as a style that calls another shape (say, decorated trapezium or some such) whose only real purpose is to set another default value of shape border rotate Create an anchor that reads another key (say, trapezoid rotate) that determines what the user wants the new angle to be, then sets shape border rotate to something based on that. I am hoping there is another way, something like issuing \changepgfinitialvalue inside the shape definition so that the initial value changes for that shape (and only that shape). Is there? Clarification: what I want is a shape (I used trapezium here, but it could be something else) that looks similar to an existing one, but has extra things drawn on it, an appendage of some sort, etc., but the base shape is rotated with respect to the original. If there is a way to do this so that the user who calls, say, shape=trapezoid instead of just trapezoid without reverting the orientation, that would be my preference. In other words, inherit everything from a shape, build on it with \beforebackgroundpath, \foregroundpath, and such, and change the default orientation.

I am preparing some physics exercises about pressure, and I would like to illustrate a rectangular box that can be placed on each of its three different faces. In this way, the same box would have three different base areas, while its dimensions remain unchanged. For example, my box has dimensions: 23 cm, 24 cm, 46 cm I would like to create the three possible orientations of the box with TikZ, so that in each drawing a different face is touching the ground. At the moment, I have this code for one orientation: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[margin=0.5in]{geometry} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} \begin{center} \begin{tikzpicture}[x=0.027cm,y=-0.027cm,line width=0.35pt,draw=black!75] \draw (77,123)--(77,199)--(146,231)--(281,163)--(281,110); \draw (146,156)--(146,231); \draw (212,55)--(212,122); \draw (77,123)--(60,84)--(126,117)--(146,156)--cycle; \draw (77,123)--(51,96)--(186,27)--(212,55)--(109,109); \draw (212,55)--(232,16)--(301,48)--(281,87)--cycle; \draw (146,156)--(281,87)--(319,91)--(184,160)--cycle; \draw[<->] (66,126)--(66,198); \draw[<->] (72,210)--(141,242); \draw[<->] (151,242)--(286,173); \node[rotate=-90,inner sep=0pt,font=\small] at (57,160) {23 cm}; \node[rotate=-25,inner sep=0pt,font=\small] at (101,233) {24 cm}; \node[rotate=27,inner sep=0pt,font=\small] at (227,213) {46 cm}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{center} \end{document} Is there a relatively simple way to modify this code (or to define a reusable TikZ command) so that I can obtain the other two orientations of the same box, with the 23 cm, 24 cm, and 46 cm dimensions exchanged accordingly? Ideally, I would like to be able to write something like \boxorientation{23}{24}{46} and obtain the corresponding drawing, or otherwise have a convenient way to generate the three possible orientations. The purpose is to use the drawings in physics exercises about pressure, where the students have to calculate the pressure exerted by the box when it rests on each of its three possible bases.

I am trying to include dental notations in a document. I would like the notations to look like this. This is what I could do so far. \documentclass{article} \begin{document} hello$\lceil 5$ ~~~~~~~hello $5 \rceil$ ~~~~~hello $\lfloor 5$ ~~~~~~~~~hello $5 \rfloor$\\[.2cm] hello\begin{tabular}{|c} \hline 5\\ \end{tabular} ~~~hello \begin{tabular}{c|} \hline 5\\ \end{tabular} ~~~hello \begin{tabular}{|c} 5\\ \hline \end{tabular} ~~~hello \begin{tabular}{c|} 5\\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{document}

I am just a beginner and am writing my first report in LaTeX, so excuse me if the solution is very obvious. I am trying to plot asymptotic approximation of bode plots using the package bodeplot as answered here, I simply copied and pasted the following sample code as give in the documentation, \begin{BodeMagPlot}[% axes/{height=2cm, width=4cm} ] {0.01} {100} \addBodeZPKPlots[% asymptotic/{blue,dotted,thick}% ] {magnitude} {% z/{0,{-0.1,-0.5},{-0.1,0.5}}, p/{{-0.5,-10},{-0.5,10}}, k/10% } \end{BodeMagPlot} Now if I am using Overleaf to compile, I am getting the expected results, but then when I use the exact syntax in MikTeX installed on my PC, I do not get any plot, and instead, two warnings messages are displayed: \ifplatform.sty:0:shell escape is disabled, so I can only detect \ifwindows You have an axis with empty range (in direction y). Replacing it with a default range and clearing all plots As far as I can tell the second warning is why I didn't get any plot, but I couldn't understand how to rectify this by giving the range for y-axis, and why does this run in Overleaf, but not on my system? And if the first warning is responsible for this somehow.

Disclaimer: I am new-ish to LaTeX, and self-taught. I am trying to make a "Unit Circle" TikZ graphic, in which I would like to have the \degree symbol from the gensymb package in the label text of a node. My current workflow involves the standalone package, and uses the \include command to create a sort of "master file" containing each of my creations on its own page which I reference in other Overleaf projects using the 'output file from another project' and the graphicx package to reduce compile time. There is probably a better way to do this, but it keeps it simple enough for me and I like having everything in more or less the same place so I can make quick references between my images. It has worked so far, until now... My problem is, it is preferable if I don't have to update the preamble of my master document every time I add a new picture, especially since that's where I define things like colors which occasionally use identical names (e.g. gradient1). Hence, I load \usepackage[subpreambles]{standalone} to read the preamble of each standalone separately. Again, this has worked well enough so far that I have been able to solve any hiccups myself. I have failed to diagnose why exactly, but there is something going on with the [subpreambles] tag and loading the gensymb package. Here is my MWE: \documentclass[tikz]{standalone} \usepackage{textcomp,gensymb} % for degree symbol \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \node at (0,0) {$0\degree$}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} which I have in Overleaf as degree-test.tex. When I try to reference this file in another: \documentclass[tikz]{standalone} \usepackage[subpreambles]{standalone} \begin{document} \include{degree-test} \end{document} I get the error: Package standalone Warning: Sub-preamble of file 'degree-test.tex' has changed. Content will be ignored. Please rerun LaTeX! on input line 4. I compile with LuaLaTeX, but other compilers produce similar results. Even removing \degree from the node label produces the error, despite not actually using the symbol. There must be some kind of conflict with commands which define certain things during the preamble, but I don't know how to read the error logs and they're very frightening on the surface. Is there a simple fix for this? EDIT: I have also disqualified \documentclass[tikz]{standalone} and \include vs \includestandalone as culprits.

I'm trying to plot the most simple Bode plot of the most simple lowpass filter function, given as G(s) = 1/(s+1). Here's my code: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{bodeplot} \begin{document} \BodeTF{num/{0,1},den/{1,1},d/0}{0.01}{100} \end{document} Gain plot seems ok - phase plot doesn't show expected (i. e.: NOTHING! Plus giving errors). What am I doing wrong? === EDIT 26-SEP-2023 === In Overleaf it works fine, using TexLive 2023. Just updated my MikTeX installation on my desktop PC - still no phase plot.

I am trying to draw the following six hemispheres next to each other with their centers aligned on a horizontal line. I am using Alenanno's answer to the question. I have done this just for the hemisphere with z > 0 using the following code taken from the question. \documentclass[12pt]{report} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{tikz-3dplot} \begin{document} \tdplotsetmaincoords{60}{110} \pgfmathsetmacro{\radius}{1} \pgfmathsetmacro{\thetavec}{0} \pgfmathsetmacro{\phivec}{0} \begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1,tdplot_main_coords] \tdplotsetthetaplanecoords{\phivec} \draw[dashed] (\radius,0,0) arc (0:360:\radius); \shade[ball color=blue!10!white,opacity=0.2] (1cm,0) arc (0:-180:1cm and 5mm) arc(180:0:1cm and 1cm); \shade[ball color=blue!10!white,opacity=0.2] (1cm,0) arc (180::1cm and 5mm) arc(360:0:1cm and 1cm); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

I am having trouble adding a TikZ graphic to my Beamer presentation which uses the theme Metropolis. Here is an example of the issue: \documentclass{beamer} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage{pgfplots} %\usetheme{metropolis} \pgfplotsset{compat=1.18} \begin{document} \begin{frame} \begin{center} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[ view = {135}{20}, xlabel=$x$, ylabel=$y$, zlabel=$z$, xmin=-1, xmax=1, ymin=-1, ymax=1, zmin=0, zmax=1, ] \draw (0, 1, 0) -- (1, 1, 1); \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{center} \end{frame} \end{document} This code does what I want, but uncommenting the line \usetheme{metropolis} changes the graphic and makes the line shorter. (I don't think it's invisible, just a very small length.) How can I get the desired image while still using the Metropolis theme?

I was reading about drawing differential equation trajectories with latex, but I wonder... is there a way to graph this? Consider the system x'=-y+xz^2 y'=x+yz^2 z'=-z(x^2+y^2) The following image I have taken from Perko's book Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems

I am trying to plot this parametric function: (cos(t)+(t)*sin(t), sin(t)+(t)*cos(t)) (0≤t≤π) which gives the curve below: This is my attempt, but for some reason it doesn't work. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[thick] plot[variable=\t,domain=0:180,smooth,thick] ({cos(\t)-(\t)*sin(\t)},{sin(\t)-(\t)*cos(\t)}); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} How should I fix these codes?

I would like to incrementally or animatedly reveal the elements of a matrix. Ideally I would like to just fade in the elements (à la beamer's overlay) from gray to black on each advance but I would settle for a change of background to the cell (from a light gray to white). What I have is unsatisfactory: \begin{tikzpicture} % \tikzstyle{unseen} = [color=blue!70] \tikzstyle{seen} = [] \matrix (m) [matrix of math nodes, nodes in empty cells, minimum size=7mm, ampersand replacement=\&, every node/.style={font={\large\ttfamily\bfseries},fill=gray!10}] { 1 \& 0 \& 0 \& 0 \& 0 \& 0 \& 0 \\ 0 \& 1 \& 1 \& 1 \& 0 \& 0 \& 0 \\ 0 \& 1 \& 1 \& 0 \& 1 \& 1 \& 0 \\ 0 \& 0 \& 0 \& 1 \& 1 \& 1 \& 0 \\ 0 \& 0 \& 0 \& 0 \& 0 \& 0 \& 1 \\ }; \foreach \f/\r/\c in {1/2/1,2/3/1} { \draw<\f->[seen] (m-\r-\c.north west) rectangle (m-\r-\c.south east); } \end{tikzpicture} Since these are (for now) sparse binary matrices could I make the foreach list insert the 1 entries?

My quest is to make a table which looks like this: To good thing so far: I have succeeded in making this table. The bad thing: I cannot include this in a normal \begin{table}\end{table} environment as the boundingbox of the tabular is not seen. All text is running over the table Hopefully somebody can solve this. Either by giving my an alternative way to create this table, or by fixing the error in my code The code below is using stuff from other answers I have found here: rounded corners shows how to make rounded corners around a table. The problem is: I want my first row with the column heading ABOVE line with rounded corners. My idea to solve was easy: just adjust the clipping of the tabular such that I make a rounded corner of the first column, immediately go up, and then go to the other side: ------------------------------ R-| heading cols | |first grey col value cols | | | R--------------------------------- At the locations of the R's I want to add the rounded corners. The code I came up with is quite long, I will add it here. It is stand alone. This clipping idea comes from the first link. Also, I am adding a tikzmark A because I want the clipping path to automatically connect to the bottom of the first row. That idea was inspired by this exampleadd tikznode at corner. In order to get the y coordinates of this point A, I used this idea extract y coordinate Here is the code, which should run stand alone \documentclass{article} \usepackage[dvipsnames,table]{xcolor} \usepackage{array} \usepackage{environ} \usepackage{blindtext} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{etex} \usetikzlibrary{calc, tikzmark} \definecolor{lichtgrijs}{RGB}{236,236,236} \newcolumntype{L}{>{\columncolor{lichtgrijs}}l} \newsavebox{\tablebox} \NewEnviron{rndtable}[1]{% \addtolength{\extrarowheight}{1ex}% \savebox{\tablebox}{% \begin{tabular}{#1}% \BODY% \end{tabular}}% \begin{tikzpicture} [overlay, remember picture] \ExtractCoordinate{$(pic cs:A)$} \begin{scope} \useasboundingbox; \clip[rounded corners=1ex] (0,-\dp\tablebox) -- (\wd\tablebox,-\dp\tablebox) -- (\wd\tablebox,\ht\tablebox) { [rounded corners=0ex]-- (1ex,\ht\tablebox) -- (1ex,\YCoord-\RowDepth)}-- %(1ex,\ht\tablebox-3ex)}-- (0,\YCoord-\RowDepth) -- cycle; \node at (0,-\dp\tablebox) [anchor=south west,inner sep=0pt]{\usebox{\tablebox}}; \end{scope} \end{tikzpicture} } \begin{document} \setlength\arrayrulewidth{1.2pt} \edef\RowDepth{\the\dimexpr\arraystretch\dimexpr.3\baselineskip\relax\relax} \newdimen\XCoord \newdimen\YCoord \newcommand*{\ExtractCoordinate}[1]{\path (#1); \pgfgetlastxy{\XCoord}{\YCoord};}% %\blindtext[10] %\begin{table}[tbp] % \caption{bla} \begin{rndtable}{Llr} \rowcolor{white} \tikzmark{A} \textbf{Label} & \textbf{Naam} & \textbf{Leeftijd}\\ \arrayrulecolor{lichtgrijs} \hline GK & Paul Robinson & 45\\ LB & Lucus Radebe & 23\\ DC & Michael Duberry & 84\\ DC & Dominic Matteo & 22\\ RB & Didier Domi & 34\\ MC & David Batty & 5\\ MC & Eirik Bakke & 58\\ MC & Jody Morris & 75\\ FW & Jamie McMaster & 13\\ ST & Alan Smith & 70\\ ST & Mark Viduka & 30\\ \arrayrulecolor{lichtgrijs}\hline \end{rndtable} %\end{table} %\blindtext[10] \end{document} This code works and generates the tabular I have just show. HOWEVER, apparently when I include the \begin{table} the size of the table is not recognized at all. If I would put text around the table (by uncommenting blindtext and begin{table}) it is running over the table. My suspicion is that it has to to with either the overlay option or that I use the savebox. Unfortunately I am not able to solve this. It looks like this: Who knows how I can fix this script such that I can use it properly within a table environment ? Any hints appreciated! Regards Eelco EDIT: The suggestion by Marmot about removing the overlay and useasboundingbox works. Now at least a tabular is nicely put into the table environment. however: a new problem arises; when I want to include two or more tables, somehow every time I run the code the tables get another position. For instance, you can do \blindtext[1] \begin{table}[tbp] \caption{First table} \begin{rndtable}{Llr} \rowcolor{white} \tikzmark{A} \textbf{Label} & \textbf{Naam} & \textbf{Leeftijd}\\ \arrayrulecolor{lichtgrijs} \hline GK & Paul Robinson & 45\\ MC & Jody Morris & 75\\ FW & Jamie McMaster & 13\\ ST & Alan Smith & 70\\ ST & Mark Viduka & 30\\ \arrayrulecolor{lichtgrijs}\hline \end{rndtable} \end{table} \blindtext[1] \begin{table}[tbp] \caption{Another table} \begin{rndtable}{Llr} \rowcolor{white} \tikzmark{A} \textbf{Label} & \textbf{Naam} & \textbf{Leeftijd}\\ \arrayrulecolor{lichtgrijs} \hline GK & Paul Robinson & 45\\ LB & Lucus Radebe & 23\\ DC & Michael Duberry & 84\\ MC & Jody Morris & 75\\ FW & Jamie McMaster & 13\\ ST & Alan Smith & 70\\ ST & Mark Viduka & 30\\ \arrayrulecolor{lichtgrijs}\hline \end{rndtable} \end{table} \blindtext[1] \begin{table}[tbp] \caption{Last table} \begin{rndtable}{Llr} \rowcolor{white} \tikzmark{A} \textbf{Label} & \textbf{Naam} & \textbf{Leeftijd}\\ \arrayrulecolor{lichtgrijs} \hline GK & Paul Robinson & 45\\ LB & Lucus Radebe & 23\\ DC & Michael Duberry & 84\\ MC & Jody Morris & 75\\ FW & Jamie McMaster & 13\\ ST & Alan Smith & 70\\ ST & Mark Viduka & 30\\ \arrayrulecolor{lichtgrijs}\hline \end{rndtable} \end{table} This will indeed make three tables, each in its own environment, but they get another location every time I run the code. Also the aux file changes with every run. Probably this has to do with those global vars XCoord and YCoord I use, combined with the savebox trick. But I need those to be able to find the location of the upper row and clip it properly. So this solution I came up with is still not usable. Anybody knows how to solve this? EDIT2: The suggestion by Marmot to leave out the ExtractCoordinate line does not work as I need it to get the location of the bottom of the first row. I found this example here add tikznode at corner and here extract y coordinate If I leave out ExtractCoordinate (as suggested by Marmot), the table looks like this: As you can see, the upper rounded corners now always is exactly half way the table. It should be at the bottom of the first row (with the title columns). Indeed, if I leave out this line with ExtractCoordinate, it fixes the problem of the jumping tables. But then I would need an alternative way to extract the ycoordinate from my tikzmark A. Any idea? EDIT3: At this point I almost got the example above working: the only thing it requires is to find an alternative way to extract the y coordinate of the tikzmark, since the trick with ExtractCoordinate is messing up the tables. But just to be complete, I have also an alternative approach for making tables like this which is based on this idea tabular with rounded corners My code looks like this: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[dvipsnames,table]{xcolor} \usepackage{array} \usepackage{blindtext} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{etex} \usepackage[most]{tcolorbox} \usepackage{tabularx} \usetikzlibrary{calc, tikzmark} \definecolor{lichtgrijs}{RGB}{236,236,236} \newcolumntype{L}{>{\columncolor{lichtgrijs}}l} \newcolumntype{Y}{>{\raggedleft\arraybackslash}X} \newtcolorbox{twocoltable}[4][]{% tabularx*={\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.2}}% {>{\columncolor{lichtgrijs}\hsize=#3\linewidth}X>{\hsize=#4\linewidth}Y}, enlarge top initially by=1.5em, enlarge bottom finally by=0em, enhanced, fontupper=\footnotesize, breakable, colframe=lichtgrijs, colback=white, arc=1mm, outer arc=1mm, clip upper, rightrule=0pt, sharp corners=east, width=1\linewidth, overlay=% { \node[anchor=south east] (ycoltit) at % ([xshift=-0cm, yshift=0.0\baselineskip]frame.north east)% {{\footnotesize\textbf{#2}}}; }, #1 } \begin{document} \blindtext \begin{table}[tbp] \caption{Last table} \begin{twocoltable}% {\textbf{Leeftijd}}{0.8}{0.2} Paul Robinson & 45\\ Lucus Radebe & 23\\ Michael Duberry & 84\\ Jody Morris & 75\\ Jamie McMaster & 13\\ Alan Smith & 70\\ Mark Viduka & 30\\ \end{twocoltable} \end{table} \blindtext \end{document} and the result looks like this The only problem is that I need to add the column titles explicitly using the overlay inside newtcolorbox, which I don't like since I fix the number of columns in the definition (in this case two columns only). But this was the only way to get the column title above the line with the rounded corners. I case somebody knows a better way of doing this, it would be great as well EDIT4: Ignasis answer is the best so far. Still I was trying to vary some formats of the table which I know I am going to need, such as fixing the width of the column. The example I tried look like this \begin{table} \centering \begin{tikzpicture} \matrix[mymatrix, column 3/.style={nodes={anchor=center}}, column 4/.style={nodes={anchor=east}, text width=2cm}] (A) { Label & Naam & Leeftijd & Length in centimeters\\ MC & Jody Morris & 75 & 174\\ FW & Jamie McMaster & 13 & 184\\ ST & Alan Smith & 70 & 150\\ ST & Mark Viduka & 30 & 190\\ }; \tableback{A}{5}{4} \end{tikzpicture} \caption{Shorter on} \end{table} The result looks like this As you can see, the column at the east is not aligned to the right anymore, and also to first row with the title should align with the bottom of the row. Any idea how to fix this? EDIT 5: In parallel with the solution of Ignasis with the matrix environment I have tried to fix my first attempt using the savebox. As Marmot pointed out I need to get rid of the ExtractCoord. This is what I did. My solution now looks like this \documentclass{article} \usepackage[dvipsnames,table]{xcolor} \usepackage{array} \usepackage{environ} \usepackage{blindtext} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{etex} % required for savebox %\usetikzlibrary{calc, tikzmark} \usetikzlibrary{tikzmark} \definecolor{lichtgrijs}{RGB}{236,236,236} \newcolumntype{L}{>{\columncolor{lichtgrijs}}l} %\renewcommand{\tikzmark}[2][]{% % \tikz[remember picture,overlay]\coordinate[#1](#2);% %} % \NewEnviron{rndtable}[2][\tablebox]{% \addtolength{\extrarowheight}{1ex}% \def\locbox{#1} \savebox{\locbox}{% \begin{tabular}{#2}% \BODY% \end{tabular}}% \begin{tikzpicture} [remember picture] \def\radius{1mm}; \edef\RowDepth{\the\dimexpr\arraystretch\dimexpr.3\baselineskip\relax\relax} \coordinate (southwest) at (0,-\dp\locbox); \coordinate (southeast) at (\wd\locbox,-\dp\locbox); \coordinate (northeast) at (\wd\locbox,\ht\locbox); \coordinate (northwest) at (0,\ht\locbox); \coordinate (Pt) at ([xshift=\radius]northwest); \coordinate (A) at (pic cs:A); \coordinate (cellborder) at ([yshift=-\RowDepth]A); \coordinate (Pb) at (cellborder -| Pt); \coordinate (west) at (Pb -| northwest); \begin{scope} \clip[rounded corners=\radius] (southwest) -- (southeast) -- (northeast) { % make straight corners for the cutout [rounded corners=0ex]-- (Pt) -- (Pb) }-- (west) -- cycle; \node at (0,-\dp\locbox) [anchor=south west,inner sep=0pt]{\usebox{\locbox}}; % debugging circels %\draw[red, fill] (Pt) circle[radius=2pt]; %\draw[green, fill] (A) circle[radius=2pt]; %\draw[blue, fill] (cellborder) circle[radius=2pt]; %\draw[yellow, fill] (Pb) circle[radius=2pt]; %\draw[orange, fill] (west) circle[radius=2pt]; \end{scope} \end{tikzpicture} } \begin{document} \setlength\arrayrulewidth{1.2pt} \blindtext[1] \newsavebox{\tablebox} \begin{table}[tbp] \caption{First table} \begin{rndtable}[\tablebox]{Llr} \rowcolor{white} \tikzmark{A} \textbf{Label} & \textbf{Naam} & \textbf{Leeftijd}\\ \arrayrulecolor{lichtgrijs} \hline GK & Paul Robinson & 45\\ MC & Jody Morris & 75\\ FW & Jamie McMaster & 13\\ ST & Alan Smith & 70\\ ST & Mark Viduka & 30\\ \arrayrulecolor{lichtgrijs}\hline \end{rndtable} \end{table} \blindtext[1] \newsavebox{\otherbox} \begin{table}[tbp] \caption{Second table} \begin{rndtable}[\otherbox]{Llr} \rowcolor{white} \tikzmark{A} \textbf{Label} & \textbf{Naam} & \textbf{Leeftijd}\\ \arrayrulecolor{lichtgrijs} \hline GK & Paul Robinson & 45\\ MC & Jody Morris & 75\\ FW & Jamie McMaster & 13\\ ST & Alan Smith & 70\\ ST & Mark Viduka & 30\\ \arrayrulecolor{lichtgrijs}\hline \end{rndtable} \end{table} \blindtext[1] \end{document} For one table this works fine again. For two tables LaTeX keeps getting two alternating solutions for the table positions: one with the two tables at one page, one with the two tables as separate pages. I think it has to do with the savebox, that why I tried to add an extra parameter such that I can define a savebox for every table. Unfortunately this does not work. If I compare the aux files of two subsequent runs of xelatex, a diff on both files will show the following output: 9,13c9,13 < \@writefile{lot}{\contentsline {table}{\numberline {2}{\ignorespaces Second table}}{1}} < \savepicturepage{pgfid3}{1} < \pgfsyspdfmark {pgfid3}{9192734}{33349459} < \savepicturepage{pgfid4}{1} < \pgfsyspdfmark {pgfid4}{8799518}{30733844} --- > \@writefile{lot}{\contentsline {table}{\numberline {2}{\ignorespaces Second table}}{2}} > \savepicturepage{pgfid3}{2} > \pgfsyspdfmark {pgfid3}{9192734}{41880784} > \savepicturepage{pgfid4}{2} > \pgfsyspdfmark {pgfid4}{8799518}{39265169} The third run will have an aux file equal to the first run again. If this can be solved I prefer this solution above all since it makes use of a original tabular environment. If it cannot be solved I will fall back on the matrix solution, which is a great alternative

I'm trying to draw a set of rotated rectangular cuboids around a centre point in Tikz. I've created an example of what I'm trying to achieve in OpenSCAD below with the code to generate the above figure in OpenSCAD: for (i = [0:45:360]) { rotate([0,i,0]) { translate([2,0,-0.5]){ cube([2,0.5,1]); } } } The purpose is to draw the ferrites in an Inductive Power Transfer Magnetic Coupler (pad), an example of the diagram I would like to draw is below I think, the other parts are quite achievable, but the rotated blocks are a challenge. I guess because, as many people have noted, TikZ does not have a 3D engine. I have had a go at making something like what I want here: \documentclass[border=7pt]{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{tikz-3dplot} %%%%%%%%%%% \begin{document} \tdplotsetmaincoords{-60}{-50} \begin{tikzpicture} [ tdplot_main_coords, ] \def\rounding{0.2pt}; \foreach \i in {10,50,...,360} { \begin{scope}[rotate around={\i:(0.4,0,0.0)}] \pgfmathsetmacro{\cubex}{1} \pgfmathsetmacro{\cubey}{0.1} \pgfmathsetmacro{\cubez}{0.1} % http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/12020/what-is-the-easiest-way-to-draw-3d-cube-with-tikz \draw[rounded corners = \rounding,fill=black!70] (0,0,0) -- ++(-\cubex,0,0) -- ++(0,-\cubey,0) -- ++(\cubex,0,0) -- cycle; \draw[rounded corners = \rounding,fill=black!70] (0,0,0) -- ++(0,0,-\cubez) -- ++(0,-\cubey,0) -- ++(0,0,\cubez) -- cycle; \draw[rounded corners = \rounding,fill=black!70] (0,0,0) -- ++(-\cubex,0,0) -- ++(0,0,-\cubez) -- ++(\cubex,0,0) -- cycle; \end{scope} } \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} which currently looks like this I had to set the \tdplotsetmaincoords{-60}{-50} to a negative number, otherwise you see the 'back' of the cuboid. I don't know, how to make the circle of cuboids lean back into the page, any help would be greatly appreciated. I also don't know, how to rotate the cubes so they look right, at the moment it looks quite odd.

I would like to draw border strip tableaux in Latex. Such a tableau is a tiling of a partition shape (or skew-partition shaped) diagram with labeled border strips such that in each row and column, the labels are increasing. For a precise definition, see page 351 in http://www-math.mit.edu/~rstan/pubs/pubfiles/123.pdf In the picture, all the border strips are of the same length. This special case is enough for my purposes but does not hold in general. The picture is copied from Figure 2.4 in http://www.ams.org/journals/tran/2000-352-12/S0002-9947-00-02666-0/S0002-9947-00-02666-0.pdf

My questions are: Is there a possibility to get a view of a Rubik's Cube in TikZ such as in pgfplots; like view={NUMBER1}{NUMBER2}? How can be the Rubik's Cube be scrambled with a number a, such that this number makes a random pattern to the cube (→ scrambeling). Here is my MWE (it's just the Cube without any functions): \documentclass[border=5pt,tikz]{standalone} \usetikzlibrary{3d} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[every node/.style={inner sep=1cm,draw,very thick},very thick] \draw[step=2cm,canvas is yz plane at x=0] (0,0) grid (8,8); \node[fill=red] at (-4.08,-2.09) {}; \node[fill=white] at (-4.08,-.09) {}; \node[fill=blue] at (-4.08,1.91) {}; \node[fill=red] at (-4.08,3.91) {}; \begin{scope}[shift={(-2,0)}] \node[fill=blue] at (-4.08,-2.09) {}; \node[fill=white] at (-4.08,-.09) {}; \node[fill=orange] at (-4.08,1.91) {}; \node[fill=white] at (-4.08,3.91) {}; \end{scope} \begin{scope}[shift={(-4,0)}] \node[fill=yellow] at (-4.08,-2.09) {}; \node[fill=blue] at (-4.08,-.09) {}; \node[fill=white] at (-4.08,1.91) {}; \node[fill=green] at (-4.08,3.91) {}; \begin{scope}[shift={(-2,0)}] \node[fill=white] at (-4.08,-2.09) {}; \node[fill=red] at (-4.08,-.09) {}; \node[fill=blue] at (-4.08,1.91) {}; \node[fill=yellow] at (-4.08,3.91) {}; \end{scope} \end{scope} \draw[xshift=-8cm,yshift=8cm,step=2cm,canvas is xz plane at y=0] (0,0) grid (8,8); \draw[fill=yellow,canvas is yz plane at x=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \draw[yshift=2cm,fill=blue,canvas is yz plane at x=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \draw[yshift=6cm,fill=orange,canvas is yz plane at x=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \begin{scope}[shift={(-.77,-.77)}] \draw[fill=green,canvas is yz plane at x=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \draw[yshift=2cm,fill=orange,canvas is yz plane at x=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \draw[yshift=4cm,fill=orange,canvas is yz plane at x=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \draw[yshift=6cm,fill=blue,canvas is yz plane at x=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \end{scope} \begin{scope}[shift={(2*-.77,2*-.77)}] \draw[fill=red,canvas is yz plane at x=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \draw[yshift=2cm,fill=yellow,canvas is yz plane at x=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \draw[yshift=4cm,fill=red,canvas is yz plane at x=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \draw[yshift=6cm,fill=red,canvas is yz plane at x=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \end{scope} \begin{scope}[shift={(3*-.77,3*-.77)}] \draw[fill=blue,canvas is yz plane at x=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \draw[yshift=2cm,fill=orange,canvas is yz plane at x=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \draw[yshift=4cm,fill=yellow,canvas is yz plane at x=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \draw[yshift=6cm,fill=blue,canvas is yz plane at x=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \end{scope} \draw[yshift=8cm,xshift=-2cm,fill=blue,canvas is xz plane at y=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \draw[yshift=7.23cm,xshift=-2.76cm,fill=orange,canvas is xz plane at y=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \draw[yshift=6.46cm,xshift=-3.55cm,fill=green,canvas is xz plane at y=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \begin{scope}[shift={(-2,0)}] \draw[yshift=8cm,xshift=-2cm,fill=green,canvas is xz plane at y=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \draw[yshift=7.23cm,xshift=-2.76cm,fill=white,canvas is xz plane at y=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \draw[yshift=6.46cm,xshift=-3.55cm,fill=red,canvas is xz plane at y=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \draw[yshift=5.68cm,xshift=-4.33cm,fill=red,canvas is xz plane at y=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \end{scope} \begin{scope}[shift={(-4,0)}] \draw[yshift=8cm,xshift=-2cm,fill=yellow,canvas is xz plane at y=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \draw[yshift=7.23cm,xshift=-2.76cm,fill=yellow,canvas is xz plane at y=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \draw[yshift=6.46cm,xshift=-3.55cm,fill=green,canvas is xz plane at y=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \draw[yshift=5.68cm,xshift=-4.33cm,fill=red,canvas is xz plane at y=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \end{scope} \begin{scope}[shift={(-6,0)}] \draw[yshift=8cm,xshift=-2cm,fill=green,canvas is xz plane at y=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \draw[yshift=7.23cm,xshift=-2.76cm,fill=red,canvas is xz plane at y=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \draw[yshift=6.46cm,xshift=-3.55cm,fill=yellow,canvas is xz plane at y=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \draw[yshift=5.68cm,xshift=-4.33cm,fill=red,canvas is xz plane at y=0] (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \end{scope} \begin{scope}[yshift=-4cm] \fill[black,canvas is zy plane at x=0] (0,0) rectangle (1.5,1.5); \fill[xshift=-2.05cm,yshift=-.58cm] (0,0) rectangle (1.5,1.5); \fill[xshift=-1.5cm,yshift=1.49cm,canvas is zx plane at y=0] (0,0) rectangle (1.5,1.5); \fill[rounded corners=5,blue,canvas is zy plane at x=0] (0,0) rectangle (1.5,1.5); \fill[rounded corners=5,xshift=-2.05cm,yshift=-.58cm,red] (0,0) rectangle (1.5,1.5); \fill[rounded corners=5pt,xshift=-1.5cm,yshift=1.49cm,canvas is zx plane at y=0,white] (0,0) rectangle (1.5,1.5); \node[fill=white,inner sep=0pt,draw=white] (n) at (-1.3,-1.7) {Another style}; \draw[line width=1pt,->] (n) --+ (0,1); \end{scope} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Here is the original picture: And the output:

How can I get tikz node dimensions such as height and width? I am interested to use these parameters to precisely calculate placement of objects, e.g. using <a.height> in the following example: \documentclass{article} \thispagestyle{empty} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} \begin{figure} \begin{tikzpicture} \node(a) { \includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{example-image-a} }; \node(b) at (0, <a.height>*3/4){label}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{figure} \end{document}

In a paper, I have a class of functions S1→S2 depending on a real parameter t>0, and I would like to represent some of them on the sphere as curves to illustrate their behavior as t goes to 0, but I never used TikZ or anything else, so I have no clue how to do so.

Drawing a sphere is easy enough using the ball shading, or some more refined form as in How to draw a shaded sphere, but I would like a way to shade only one half (or even just slices). I currently have the following: \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} %% helpers for 3D sphere drawing \newcommand\pgfmathsinandcos[3]{% \pgfmathsetmacro#1{sin(#3)}% \pgfmathsetmacro#2{cos(#3)}% } \newcommand\LongitudePlane[3][current plane]{% \pgfmathsinandcos\sinEl\cosEl{#2} % elevation \pgfmathsinandcos\sint\cost{#3} % azimuth \tikzset{#1/.style={cm={\cost,\sint*\sinEl,0,\cosEl,(0,0)}}} } \newcommand\LatitudePlane[3][current plane]{% \pgfmathsinandcos\sinEl\cosEl{#2} % elevation \pgfmathsinandcos\sint\cost{#3} % latitude \pgfmathsetmacro\yshift{\cosEl*\sint} \tikzset{#1/.style={cm={\cost,0,0,\cost*\sinEl,(0,\yshift)}}} % } \newcommand\DrawLongitudeCircle[2][2]{ \LongitudePlane{\angEl}{#2} \tikzset{current plane/.prefix style={scale=#1}} % angle of "visibility" \pgfmathsetmacro\angVis{atan(sin(#2)*cos(\angEl)/sin(\angEl))} % \draw[current plane, very thin] (\angVis:1) arc (\angVis:\angVis+180:1); \draw[current plane,dashed,very thin] (\angVis-180:1) arc (\angVis-180:\angVis:1); } \newcommand\DrawLatitudeCircle[2][3]{ \LatitudePlane{\angEl}{#2} \tikzset{current plane/.prefix style={scale=#1}} \pgfmathsetmacro\sinVis{sin(#2)/cos(#2)*sin(\angEl)/cos(\angEl)} % angle of "visibility" \pgfmathsetmacro\angVis{asin(min(1,max(\sinVis,-1)))} \draw[current plane] (\angVis:1) arc (\angVis:-\angVis-180:1); \draw[current plane,dashed] (180-\angVis:1) arc (180-\angVis:\angVis:1); } \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \def\R{2.5} % sphere radius \def\angEl{35} % elevation angle \def\angAz{-105} % azimuth angle \tikzset{xyplane/.style={cm={cos(\angAz),sin(\angAz)*sin(\angEl),-sin(\angAz), cos(\angAz)*sin(\angEl),(0,0)}}} \LongitudePlane[xzplane]{\angEl}{\angAz} % sphere \filldraw[ball color=blue, opacity=.2] (0,0) circle (\R); %\draw[xyplane] (-2*\R,-2*\R) rectangle (2.2*\R,2.8*\R); \draw[xyplane,->] (-2.25*\R,0) -- (2.75*\R,0) node[below right] {$k_x$}; \draw[xyplane,->] (0, -1.1*\R)-- (0,1.5*\R) node[below left] {$k_y$}; \draw[->] (0,-1.25*\R) -- (0,1.5*\R) node[below right] {$k_z$}; % meridians \foreach \t in {-80,-60,...,80} { \DrawLatitudeCircle[\R]{\t} } \foreach \t in {-5,-35,...,-175} { \DrawLongitudeCircle[\R]{\t} } \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Which I got from this paper which refers to this TeXample from which I got the above projected drawing code. I unfortunately do not see a way to properly turn this into a sliced sphere or hemisphere at the least. As an additional improvement, perhaps the inside of the sphere can be "dark-shaded", such that the result looks like what I can do "easily" with Mathematica: I understand the above needs some work wrt the line color and all, but what interests me here is the sectioning and the shading of the inside of the sphere. I would guess some handy clip action and two ball shadings with different opacities might get me close, but I have no idea how to get the clipping to work. Thanks!

I want to draw a section of a sphere to represent its volume. I have currently got the following: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{pgfplots} \pgfplotsset{compat=1.11} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[ axis equal, axis lines = center, width = 10cm, height = 10cm, xlabel = {$x$}, ylabel = {$y$}, zlabel = {$z$}, view/h=45, ] \addplot3[surf, opacity = 0.5, samples=21, domain=0:1, y domain=0:0.5*pi, z buffer=sort] ({sqrt(1-x^2) * cos(deg(y))}, {sqrt( 1-x^2 ) * sin(deg(y))}, x); \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Which gives me: But I want the sides to be closed, something like this: How can I do this?

I want to draw 3D shapes in latex. I have tried out different strategies, but nothing has led me to a good solution yet. First what I want to do, then what I have done so far. In prioritized order, these are my constraints: Output (the figure) must be vector graphics I would REALLY like to compile my main document with pdflatex Text should preferably be scalable, i.e., the text stays the same, even if I decide to make the figure bigger in my document. Objects should have a shading that makes them look like they are lighted from somewhere (otherwise I cannot distinguish between a circle and a sphere). I want to use colors defined in my main files preamble - thus dynamic use of main file's preamble content (this is in an individual file). This is probably not possible at the same time, but a trade off is welcome. What works for you when drawing 3D objects? My progress so far I've made friends with Tikz, but when familiarizing myself with its shortcomings (such as 3d solids it seems), I've flirted with PStricks - but this was a messy first date, so unless you guys REALLY advocate her as a part of the solution, I'd rather stay with Tikz (but hey, beggars can't be choosers). I've made a MWE, where everything is included (in my case it is split in many different files (a PhD-thesis becomes quite large, after all). This is the code that generates a sphere using the trick of implementing the "ball", which is not inherent 3D: \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{pgfplots} \pgfplotsset{compat=1.4} \usepackage{tikz-3dplot} \tdplotsetmaincoords{60}{-30} \tdplotsetrotatedcoords{0}{90}{90}% %\usepackage[rgb]{xcolor} \definecolor{c1}{rgb}{0.2,0.4,0.6} % Blue-ish \definecolor{c2}{rgb}{1.0,0.0,0.6} % Pink-is \definecolor{c3}{rgb}{0.6,0.0,0.0} % Red \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} [tdplot_rotated_coords, scale=3, cube/.style={color=c1,thick,draw=gray, fill opacity=0.5,line join=round}, mds/.style={ball color=c2, c2, opacity=.8}, helplines/.style={gray,line cap=round}, length/.style={<->,thick,line cap=round}, axis/.style={->,c3,ultra thick,line cap=round}, textlabel/.style={fill opacity=.7,text opacity=1,fill=white,rounded corners}] \def\d{1} \def\r{\d*.45} \def\af{\d*.5} % Draw backside of the cube \fill[cube] (0,0,\d) -- (0,\d,\d) -- (\d,\d,\d) -- (\d,0,\d) -- cycle; \fill[cube] (0,0,0) -- (0,0,\d) -- (\d,0,\d) -- (\d,0,0) -- cycle; \fill[cube] (\d,0,0) -- (\d,0,\d) -- (\d,\d,\d) -- (\d,\d,0) -- cycle; % Draw helplines \foreach \t in {0,12,...,348} % circle \draw[helplines] ({cos(\t )*\r+\d/2}, \d/2, {sin(\t )*\r+\d/2}) -- ({cos(\t+12)*\r+\d/2}, \d/2, {sin(\t+12)*\r+\d/2}); \draw[helplines] (\d/2,\d/2-\r,\d/2) -- (\d/2,\d/2+\r,\d/2); % vertical line % Cylinder \shade[mds] (\d/2,\d/2,\d/2) circle (\r cm); % <= the little " cm" is needed to "trick" (?) everything into working... % Draw front of cube \fill[cube,fill=none] (0,0,0) -- (0,\d,0) -- (\d,\d,0) -- (\d,0,0) -- cycle; \fill[cube,fill=none] (0,\d,0) -- (0,\d,\d) -- (\d,\d,\d) -- (\d,\d,0) -- cycle; \fill[cube,fill=none] (0,0,0) -- (0,0,\d) -- (0,\d,\d) -- (0,\d,0) -- cycle; % Draw the axis arrows and annotations \draw[axis] (0,0,0) -- (\af,0,0) node[textlabel,anchor=east]{$x$}; \draw[axis] (0,0,0) -- (0,\af,0) node[textlabel,anchor=south]{$y$}; \draw[axis] (0,0,0) -- (0,0,\af) node[textlabel,anchor=west]{$z$}; % Draw radius arrow \draw[mds,length,draw] (\d/2,\d/2,\d/2) -- (\d/2,\d/2,\d/2+\r) node[textlabel,pos=0.5, auto=above]{$r$}; % Draw cube lattice length measures \draw[cube,length,c1] (0,0,\d*5/6) -- (0,\d,\d*5/6) node[textlabel,pos=0.5, auto=above]{$d$}; \draw[cube,length,c1] (\d*5/6,0,0) -- (\d*5/6,\d,0) node[textlabel,pos=0.5, auto=above]{$d$}; \draw[cube,length,c1] (\d*5/6,\d,0) -- (\d*5/6,\d,\d) node[textlabel,pos=0.5, auto=above]{$d$}; % Material parameters label \draw[mds] (\d/2,\d/2+\r/2,\d/2) node[textlabel]{$\varepsilon_c,\mu_c$}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Which produces: I have worked on some code for manually coding a cylinder, but I encounter two main problems: I cannot dynamically change the fill, to create a shading effect. I cannot draw the top/bottom circles (ellipses in the viewpoint perspective) Here's my code: \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{pgfplots} \pgfplotsset{compat=1.4} \usepackage{tikz-3dplot} \tdplotsetmaincoords{60}{-30} \tdplotsetrotatedcoords{0}{90}{90}% %\usepackage[rgb]{xcolor} \definecolor{c1}{rgb}{0.2,0.4,0.6} % Blue-ish \definecolor{c2}{rgb}{1.0,0.0,0.6} % Pink-is \definecolor{c3}{rgb}{0.6,0.0,0.0} % Red \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} [tdplot_rotated_coords, scale=3, cube/.style={color=c1,thick,draw=gray, fill opacity=0.5,line join=round}, mdc/.style={fill=c2, color=c2,draw=none, opacity=.4,line join=round}, helplines/.style={gray,line cap=round}, length/.style={<->,thick,line cap=round}, axis/.style={->,c3,ultra thick,line cap=round}, textlabel/.style={fill opacity=.7,text opacity=1,fill=white,rounded corners}] \def\d{1} \def\r{\d*.45} \def\af{\d*.5} % Draw backside of the cube \fill[cube] (0,0,\d) -- (0,\d,\d) -- (\d,\d,\d) -- (\d,0,\d) -- cycle; \fill[cube] (0,0,0) -- (0,0,\d) -- (\d,0,\d) -- (\d,0,0) -- cycle; \fill[cube] (\d,0,0) -- (\d,0,\d) -- (\d,\d,\d) -- (\d,\d,0) -- cycle; % Draw helplines \foreach \t in {0,12,...,348} % circle \draw[helplines] ({cos(\t )*\r+\d/2}, \d/2, {sin(\t )*\r+\d/2}) -- ({cos(\t+12)*\r+\d/2}, \d/2, {sin(\t+12)*\r+\d/2}); \draw[helplines] (\d/2,\d/2-\r,\d/2) -- (\d/2,\d/2+\r,\d/2); % vertical line % Cylinder \foreach \t in {0,12,...,348} \draw[mdc] ({cos(\t )*\r+\d/2}, 0, {sin(\t )*\r+\d/2}) % side vertice of cylinder -- ({cos(\t+12)*\r+\d/2}, 0, {sin(\t+12)*\r+\d/2}) -- ({cos(\t+12)*\r+\d/2}, \d, {sin(\t+12)*\r+\d/2}) -- ({cos(\t )*\r+\d/2}, \d, {sin(\t )*\r+\d/2}) -- cycle; % Draw front of cube \fill[cube,fill=none] (0,0,0) -- (0,\d,0) -- (\d,\d,0) -- (\d,0,0) -- cycle; \fill[cube,fill=none] (0,\d,0) -- (0,\d,\d) -- (\d,\d,\d) -- (\d,\d,0) -- cycle; \fill[cube,fill=none] (0,0,0) -- (0,0,\d) -- (0,\d,\d) -- (0,\d,0) -- cycle; % Draw the axis arrows and annotations \draw[axis] (0,0,0) -- (\af,0,0) node[textlabel,anchor=east]{$x$}; \draw[axis] (0,0,0) -- (0,\af,0) node[textlabel,anchor=south]{$y$}; \draw[axis] (0,0,0) -- (0,0,\af) node[textlabel,anchor=west]{$z$}; % Draw radius arrow \draw[mdc,length,draw] (\d/2,\d/2,\d/2) -- (\d/2,\d/2,\d/2+\r) node[textlabel,pos=0.5, auto=above]{$r$}; % Draw cube lattice length measures \draw[cube,length,c1] (0,0,\d*5/6) -- (0,\d,\d*5/6) node[textlabel,pos=0.5, auto=above]{$d$}; \draw[cube,length,c1] (\d*5/6,0,0) -- (\d*5/6,\d,0) node[textlabel,pos=0.5, auto=above]{$d$}; \draw[cube,length,c1] (\d*5/6,\d,0) -- (\d*5/6,\d,\d) node[textlabel,pos=0.5, auto=above]{$d$}; % Material parameters label \draw[mdc] (\d/2,\d/2+\r/2,\d/2) node[textlabel]{$\varepsilon_c,\mu_c$}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Which produces: I am definitely open to a whole new approach to my work routine, but it must be advantageous, otherwise I will just drop the shading requirement (which is half the fun though, one looses depth perception without it). Thank you so much for taking the time to read this LOOOONG question.

Problem This is a shameless "just do it for me" graphics question, but honestly I have no idea where to start. I'd like to reproduce this figure The image shows the intersection of two surfaces of constant gibbs energy. What I have tried so far Well, I didn't really try something, but here is a template to save you time. \documentclass[tikz]{standalone} \usepackage{tikz-3dplot} \begin{document} \tdplotsetmaincoords{70}{110} \begin{tikzpicture}[tdplot_main_coords] \draw[->] (0,0,0) -- (4,0,0) node[below] {$p$}; \draw[->] (0,0,0) -- (0,4,0) node[below] {$T$}; \draw[->] (0,0,0) -- (0,0,4) node[left] {$\mu$}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Additional stuff I'd like to have a TikZ answer. Usage of tikz-3dplot is not required. Feel free to downvote or vote for closing this question, as it is a shameless "just do it for me" question. I'm bad and I should feel bad!
