Is there any way of including images as 3d objects/surfaces/textures etc into a 3d asymptote scene? I really like asymptote and want to use it for computer vision visualization but I could not find any way of integrating images into a 3d scene. Does anyone have experience in this regard? submitted by /u/dmdkckjfnensndj [link] [comments]

I'm not a type designer, nor an AI expert, but I like LaTeX, math, and nice oldstyle typefaces like Junicode, Garamond, and Jenson. For example, I currently use these for math in Obsidian rendered by MathJax. As I understand it, much of the difficulty in preparing a math font has to do with donkey work about getting the metrics correct. For the full conversion of a text font to a math font, I'm sure there's a lot more work that I'm ignorant of. Isn't this a ripe area for automation via AI? I dream of a tool into which I could throw a text font and get out a math font (or even, someday, extensions into other parts of Unicode). Even a tool that supplied the math metrics for MathJax would be a big improvement. Is anyone out there working on anything like this? submitted by /u/Even_Row_1461 [link] [comments]

I've just released the 1.0.0 version of a package I have been working on for nearly two years now: the RPGTeX package. Designed to provide a core+theme based approach to writing documents for your favourite RPG. This project was originally inspired (and the code is a fork of) the DND-5e-LaTeX package, which I rewrote from the ground up after I discovered I was maintaining a copy of the D&D version, and a customised scifi version: so I decided to merge them together into a single RPG-engine which was easy to generate an entirely new theme for. There are two things I am most proud of in this project: The auto-computation of the dnd statblocks allows you to auto-compute things like a monster's to-hit bonuses based on the stat arguments provided to the environment. It makes writing a monster very easy. The 'Cardable environments' - RpgItem, RpgSpell, RpgFeat and RpgStat can all be configured to compile in either a 'text mode', or in a 'card mode', where the text is forced into a playing-card sized minipage, suitable for handing out to players. Getting the card-breaking to work was a labour of love. The link to the github repo is here: https://github.com/DrFraserGovil/rpgtex, and there is both example documents and an exhaustive set of documentation. I have also got a working version on Overleaf (but free-tier compilation is a bit rough). I have a couple of features I still want to add (support for Progress Clocks, for one), but this is the cleaned up, polished version of a bit of code I have been using for my own projects for years now. I hope you either enjoy looking at my descent into madness, or find it useful. AI Usage: 99% of this package was written by hand, by me. There's a full breakdown of AI usage in this project in the documentation but TL;DR, I only started using integrated AI tools in the last week, and Claude Code added only one major functionality (replaced my hacky \write18 call with a nice \sys_get_shell) submitted by /u/almightyJack [link] [comments]

Hello! First time posting here, so let me know if you need more context than I'm providing! :–) I've been using LaTeX since January this year, and I've been absolutely loving it. One thing that drives me nuts, however, is that titles are arranged relative to the label, and not the other way around (see Image 1). This is especially frustrating given that enumerate lists seem to do exactly what I want, i.e. they arrange the label (right-aligned) relative to the content of the \item (see Image 2), such that the text right of the label is aligned across \items. I feel like I know my way around the titlesec package by now, yet I still haven't found any of its functionalities to achieve what I want. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone who's had luck with something like this, would share with me how they got there! CODE This is how I've set up \sections in the preamble: \titleformat{\section}[hang]{\large\bfseries\sffamily}{\thesection}{0.75em}{}[] \titlespacing{\section}{-1pt}{3ex}{0.5ex} Here's what you're seeing in Image 1: \section{this is fun} \section{this is fun} \section{this is fun} \section{this is fun} \section{this is fun} \section{this is fun} \section{this isn't fun anymore} \section{this isn't fun anymore} \section{this isn't fun anymore} \section{this isn't fun anymore} \section{this isn't fun anymore} \section{this isn't fun anymore} And here's what's in Image 2 (you're only seeing the last 7 \items): \begin{enumerate} \item this is fun \item this is fun \item this is fun \item this is fun \item this is fun \item this is fun \item this is fun \item this is fun \item this is fun \item it's still fun \item it's still fun \item it's still fun \end{enumerate} (I compile with XeLaTeX in TeXShop for MacOS.) submitted by /u/Cawlo [link] [comments]

im kinda new to latex so im really just open to anything at this point. the group at my school uses currently uses overleaf to create content but i really want to have it native to the site im building. ive looked around and found mathjax and katex but (with my very helpful ai friend) i created a previewer to see if i could kind of copy paste at least individual sections themselves from the overleaf and it didnt really work well at all. i really dont want to have to have pdfs cuz they seem like they would be a pain but at the same time im looking for something that will make it seem like the latex that is rendered is actually part of the site so rn that kind of means no background so its see through. heres a example question just to give an idea of what im looking to render: \documentclass[11pt]{article} \usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry} \usepackage{amsmath, amssymb} \usepackage{enumitem} \usepackage{float} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{fancyhdr} \usetikzlibrary{calc,intersections} \setlength{\parindent}{0pt} \setlength{\parskip}{0pt} \setlist[enumerate]{itemsep=12pt, topsep=6pt} \pagestyle{plain} \begin{document} \begin{center} {\LARGE \textbf{Problems}} \end{center} \vspace{0.35cm} \begin{enumerate}[label=\textbf{Q\arabic*.}] \item Find the number of ordered triples of positive integers $(a,b,c)$ satisfying \[ a+b+c=20 \] and \[ ab+bc+ca=96. \] \item Let $ABCD$ be a rectangle with $AB=10$ and $BC=6$. Point $P$ lies inside the rectangle such that \[ PA=5,\qquad PB=\sqrt{61},\qquad PC=\sqrt{41}. \] Find the area of $\triangle PCD$. \item A positive integer $n$ is chosen uniformly at random from the integers from $1$ to $1000$, inclusive. The probability that $n$ is divisible by exactly one of $6$, $10$, and $15$ is \[ \frac{m}{n} \] in lowest terms. Find $m+n$. \end{enumerate} \end{document} submitted by /u/BugWestern4983 [link] [comments]

Overleaf does not include comments or tracked changes in the zip download. They only exist inside the editor. So you can use this extension. Open your project, click the icon, press Export. You get every thread with its replies, grouped by file and section, plus the tracked changes, and optionally a spreadsheet and a response letter template. It runs in your own logged-in tab. Chrome Extension: Overleaf Comments Export (approx. 390 users already) There's also a desktop application you can use: Overleaf Comments Export - GitHub Free and open source. If it breaks on your project, feel free to raise a GitHub issue, I will try to fix. submitted by /u/Mangl-u [link] [comments]

Hi r/LaTeX, Why I built it I like Overleaf's workflow: an editor and a PDF side by side, plus a compile button. What I didn't like was my files living on a server, the compile limits on the free tier, and Git being an afterthought. VS Code with LaTeX Workshop is great, but I wanted something closer to Overleaf's simplicity that treats a Git repo as the project from the start. What it is pip install gitlatex && gitlatex starts a small local server and opens the editor at localhost:5000. Your projects are plain folders on disk, and each one is a real Git repo. Monaco editor (the editor behind VS Code) with LaTeX/BibTeX completions, snippets, a document outline, spell check and Vim mode Compiles locally with your own TeX Live, MiKTeX or MacTeX install. If you don't have one, it can run TeX Live in the browser via WASM. SyncTeX: click in the PDF to jump to the source, and back Git built in: clone, commit, push, pull, diffs and version history from inside the editor Review comments stored in the repo and shared through Git Start from a template, clone a repo, import a .zip or open an existing folder Live collaboration (optional, and it takes some setup) This is the one part that isn't "install and go," so here's how it works. Since everything is local, there's no central GitLaTeX server for people to meet on. Instead, real-time editing goes through a small relay that you host yourself on Cloudflare Workers. The free plan is enough, and you can't be charged on it. The owner sets up the relay once. There's a "Deploy to Cloudflare" button, so you only need a Cloudflare account and a GitHub account, with no terminal involved. You pick an admin token, deploy, and enable the workers.dev address. It takes about 5 minutes, and GitLaTeX walks you through it. For each project you want to share, you click Host, which creates a room on your relay and gives you an invite string to send to co-authors. Co-authors clone the same repo, click Join and paste the invite. They never see your admin token, and each invite only opens its own project. After that you get Overleaf-style shared editing with live cursors labelled with each person's git user.name. The relay only passes text between people. Each person's GitLaTeX writes the shared text to their own disk, and compiling, committing and pushing all stay local. How it behaves: It's off by default and set per project. Projects you don't share are unaffected. Only text files are shared (.tex, .bib, .sty, etc.). Images, PDFs and build output still travel through Git. If you drop offline, you can keep typing. When you reconnect, a three-way merge brings your changes back in. The first time you join a room, the room's version wins over your local copy, so commit first if you want to keep yours. It's meant for small groups of 3–5 people, not a whole department. It's built on Yjs plus Cloudflare Durable Objects, and the relay is in a separate repo (gitlatex-collab) if you want to read it before deploying. Caveats, to be upfront It's still beta. Expect rough edges. You need Python 3.8+ and Git. The in-browser TeX engine is a one-time ~190 MB download. With a local TeX install, you never need it. It isn't trying to replace TeXstudio or a well-tuned Vim/VS Code setup. If you already have a setup you love, you probably don't need this. What I'd love feedback on Packages or document classes that fail to compile, especially with the in-browser engine Git workflows that feel clunky compared to the command line Whether the self-hosted collaboration setup is reasonable, or a dealbreaker Whatever you'd miss most coming from Overleaf Repo and docs: https://github.com/abdussamiakanda/gitlatex Collaboration docs: https://github.com/abdussamiakanda/gitlatex/blob/master/docs/live-collaboration.md Thanks for taking a look, and happy to answer questions in the comments. submitted by /u/Ill-Statistician6993 [link] [comments]

Hi. I'm writing my thesis (for context, in italian) and i'm wondering what's the convention for capitalizing the item being referenced (like figure, table, section, chapter, definition, equation...). For istance, is: Figura~\ref{myfigure} or figura~\ref{myfigure}? Thank you in advance. submitted by /u/_3l1as_ [link] [comments]

I opened and updated TeXstudio for Windows today, and Grammarly can now correct my text. Is this a new feature of TeXstudio or Grammarly? Either way, I am over the moon about it.

Hi guys, I just published a post telling a little bit of my story with TeX and also telling about something I’ve being working for the last years. Basically I built an extension of Markdown, plus a transpiler to write in a super easier format, but that generates a .tex and compiles as a Tex file. The ideia is keeping TeX on the background and exposing a more simple version, but you can also edit if needed.

Hi everyone, I've been translating research papers from Russian/German/Chinese to English for a while, and I've noticed that most translators completely break LaTeX — formulas, \cite, \ref, bibliography. It's frustrating. I've figured out a workflow that preserves all of it. Before I go further with it, I want to test it on real papers. So: I'll translate your paper to English for free, preserving: - All LaTeX commands - Equations and formulas - Citations and BibTeX keys - Document structure In return, I just want to know if it was useful. No strings attached. I can take the first 5–10 papers. Comment or message me if interested. Thanks! submitted by /u/vpuh1 [link] [comments]

Hello, I compile my documents in a different output directory. A package I use, imakeidx, does not support this. There are solutions, such as this one, but I grew tired of copy pasting the same workaround across all my documents. I therefore wrote a patch for imakeidx.sty, and would like to upstream it so anyone can benefit from it. I tried to contact the maintainer (EG), but it seems they are not available anymore. The last release of the package was 2016 after all. I'm a bit at loss with what to do next, hence my posting here. Thank you very much. submitted by /u/chloeroform- [link] [comments]

Consider \begin{lemma}\label{lma:firstlemma} All men are mortal. \end{lemma} %say above gets typeset as Lemma 1 \begin{thm}\label{th:firsttheorem} Socrates is mortal. \end{thm} %say above gets typeset as Theorem 1. \begin{proof} We know from Lemma \ref{lma:firstlemma} that all men are mortal.... \end{proof} Like the above, I have a large number of theorems in my study notes which reference previous results, etc. Is there a way to build a visually perceivable dependency graph wherein there is a node labelled L1 which stands for Lemma 1 and another node labelled T1 which stands for Theorem 1 and there is a directed arc leading from L1 to T1? Giving this task by uploading the typeset pdf to ChatGPT is one way but it is static. Is there an inbuilt way, which can dynamically change the graph node labelling if a new theorem is added in the middle thereby changing the numbering of subsequent theorems? The way should accept .tex files and not the compiled .pdf output. ----xposted to r/learnmath as well---- submitted by /u/onecable5781 [link] [comments]

Not a mod. But I was hoping to raise awareness that if you post a question that gets an answer then other people also benefit from that exchange. We've all googled a LaTeX question and found an old answer, and been glad it is there. Some people lurk here, picking things up over time. I'm not sure why so many people delete exchanges. There are good reasons to delete things sometimes, but asking for a clarification on a technical point does not seem, at least to me, to be one of them. The only other thing I can think is that those folks think that their question is clogging up the stream. I was hoping with this post to convince them that they are mistaken, and to leave it in place. In particular, if the answerer spends 15 mins on that answer and you delete the question, then you've been not too kind back to the person who was kind to you. submitted by /u/JimH10 [link] [comments]
