Hello everyone! I'm a French uni student in CG / Game dev, and type design hobbyist. I've been using LaTeX since 3 years, and have decided to convert my first typeface into a metafont I plan to make it able to generate Serif, Sans Serif and Mono from the same source Project : https://github.com/BastienSANTE/Explore/tree/master submitted by /u/Any-Fox-1822 [link] [comments]

Hello all. I am trying to create cards of circuit diagrams that are syntax-based and therefore easily editable, similar to how one can create pretty math formulas with MathJax. Apparently you can use a LateX package called circuitkz to accomplish this, but I'm having a lot of trouble setting it up. I've already asked ChatGPT, but that can't help me either. I am using Windows 11 with Anki 24.06.2 with the "Opening the same window multiple time" and "Review heatmap" addons. I went into Anki's settings and checked off "generate LateX images." I downloaded MiKTeX and set it to where missing packages are installed on the fly. Within MiKTeX, I installed the "circuitikz" package, and restarted Anki. ChatGPT told me to create a latex_header.tex file within my profile folder with the contents... \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage{amssymb,amsmath} \usepackage[american]{circuitikz} \pagestyle{empty} \setlength{\parindent}{0in} Bolded is the part where it supposedly includes the package. However, upon trying to create a simple card in Anki, for example... [latex] \begin{circuitikz} \draw (0,0) to[R, l=$R$] (2,0); \end{circuitikz} [/latex] it gives me the following error...

Keep in mind, normal LaTeX formulas work. For example... [latex]\begin{math}\sum_{k = 1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{k}\end{math}[/latex] works just fine. It's just circuitikz that I'm having trouble with. Does anyone have a solution? submitted by /u/SpiralArc [link] [comments]

Sorry for my bad English. I am new to LaTeX and confused about page layout. I am reading about page layout, specically this article from LaTeX wikibook, https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Page_Layout. I thought size and dimensions are synonyms. But the aforementioned article refers to dimensions as parameters like \paperheight \paperwidth \hoffset \voffset ... It refers to page size as options such as letterpaper a4paper b4paper ... What are the connections between them? What I have read so far is that A page size defines only two parameters, \paperheight and \paperwidth. Certain dimensions are defined by document classes. Some text says that document class concern primarily with logical structure of documents, so I do not understand why do they preset these parameters. Certain dimensions, such as \textwidth and \textheight, are derived from other dimensions. Update I asked ChatGPT, not sure if this is correct. \paperwidth and \paperheight are logical paper size; they do not affect the actual output size. Use geometry with papersize=... or set \pdfpagewidth and \pdfpageheight for actual page size in the output file submitted by /u/fethut1 [link] [comments]

Does anyone know how to input an "isolated" bibliography only for one chapter (my chapters are in .tex, and I created an chap.bib specifically for this chapter), but I want the rest to remain with the ref.bib. I tried many different ways but none of them seem to work. Is it actually possible? Thank you in advance, I use overleaf. submitted by /u/Weird-Management-347 [link] [comments]

Hey all, Wondering if someone knows how to deal with this error? I'm trying to add a degree symbol in an align environment. The symbol is actually rendering and is produced in the output, nonetheless latex is producing this error. I am on VSCode and my TeX distribution is texlive, Windows 11.

Hello! I'm trying to make the "2" on the y-axis in the attached picture be on the other side of the y-axis so that the graph of the function there does not pass through it.

Can someone help me to create this latex sytle submitted by /u/CudaC11 [link] [comments]

I've tried a bunch of approaches and it's impossible. This makes LaTeX seem so broken to me tbh. I have learned every trick and workaround and I can make beautiful LaTeX documents at this point, but I can't have a footnote in a figure caption? That seems so basic!! submitted by /u/gannex [link] [comments]

I found the mathpix ocr to convert images to latex (and text). Is is really awesome but there are two drawbacks: - it is paid - it has problem with polish handwritten text, like below: https://preview.redd.it/xwz5y4b3jk0f1.png?width=1247&format=png&auto=webp&s=5880030788275db75c2c8a027c64ec8b52c4758f Are there any good alternatives that are either free or support polish handwritten formulas?

Hi, so me and my group are writing our project on overleaf in LaTeX. We are very happy with it but have always just used word and docs. For our project report we are limited to a certain amount of pages, here 1 page is equal to 2400 characters. But like in word or docs, we can't figure out how to see the number of characters (NOT WORDS!) Edit: We are writing in Overleaf btw submitted by /u/Renic301 [link] [comments]

Yeah I hit the "TeX capacity exceeded" error. Spent two days just trying to debug my preamble. It's stupid how this could possibly even happen. I just saw someone having exotic designs for their theorem envs and mine just lost its mind when I only have three tcb styles and declared only like 4 tcbtheorems. 139 lines me vs 700+ lines them, took an hour understanding what's happening, and half a day figuring out stupid LaTeX language and what does makeatletter makeatother mean. Then I asked ChatGPT, the classic. Debugging all the way till now, I switched back and forth from MikTeX to TeX Live at least three times, debugging issues that shouldn't even happen at the first place. So much till the point ChatGPT froze Firefox for a minute for the first time ever because I pasted so much stuff. And then two days later, after fixing why lualatex doesn't exist, why luatex needs a wrapper to make lualatex appear, after having to download another separate python file to run tex live, having to debug that file bcuz the file simply doesn't know how to look at PATH, after a couple careless mistakes here and there in VSCode's settings json, it started running again! Except the Build icon kept spinning for 5 minutes and threw the same exact issue, either capacity exceeded on line 1 which is an empty line, or line 89 which is my fourth newtcbtheorem. I really liked LaTeX as a powerful typesetting tool, but the accessibility sucked, holy crap. I used to watch videos claiming with the help of snippets and self-designed preambles (and of course, Vim, but oh well, I'm lazy, VSCode suffices for now), editing offline will be way faster (it kinda did seem so before these incidents!). But nope, I still haven't figured out why does minted not work and still requires some 3 other python packages that no single video / source ever mentioned. And nope, I still don't know what happened when error messages are harder than cryptic crosswords. And now my computer and directories are a mess, just because of some stupid flaw I have to go around which ended up just worsening. Thanks for your time. submitted by /u/AceWhite_1010 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, After recently updating MiKTeX, I noticed that TeXworks automatically switched to dark mode. I used to work with the light theme, but now I can't find any option within the application to disable the dark mode. My system (Windows 10/11) is set to dark theme, but I would still prefer TeXworks to stay in light mode. Is there any way to force TeXworks to use the light theme regardless of the system setting? Maybe through a config file or command line option? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance submitted by /u/Total_Afternoon_3079 [link] [comments]

Earliest work only supported caption-guided editing. Recently, free-form text instructions and reference images are incorporated to allow more flexibility. However, existing methods still struggle with complicated editing instructions involving multiple objects or reference images. We present InstructAny2Pix, a novel image editing model that leverages a multi-modal LLM to execute complicated edit instructions. Compared with previous, works, InstructAny2Pix extends the flexibility of edit instructions in three ways: First, it can perform complex instructions involving multiple object edits; Second, it supports interleaving text instructions with multiple reference images; Third, it supports audio and music inputs as part of edit prompts, unlocking many creative applications, such as album cover generation and music-inspired merchandise design. To evaluate the effectiveness of InstructAny2Pix, we propose two new benchmark datasets MM-Inst and Dream-booth++ consisting of human written, multi-modal prompts. InstructAny2Pix outperforms baselines in these two proposed multi-modal benchmarks, as well as conventional image editing benchmarks such as InstructPix2Pix." } Is it preferable write {I}nstruct{A}ny2{P}ix or {InstructAny2Pix}, or that makes no difference? submitted by /u/Franck_Dernoncourt [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]
