Here is what I want to do in LaTeX but in Python, data = [ ('path/to/file1', 'Caption for file1.', 'fig:label1'), ('path/to/file2', 'Caption for file2.', 'fig:label2'), ('path/to/file3', 'Caption for file3.', 'fig:label3'), ('path/to/file4', 'Caption for file4.', 'fig:label4') ] for entry in data: print( f'\\begin{{figure}}[htbp]\n\ \\centering\n\ \\includegraphics[width=0.8\\textwidth]{{{entry[0]}}}\n\ \\caption{{{entry[1]}}}\n\ \\label{{{entry[2]}}}\n\\end{{figure}}' ) This will result in the following text over the console, \begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{path/to/file1} \caption{Caption for file1.} \label{fig:label1} \end{figure} \begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{path/to/file2} \caption{Caption for file2.} \label{fig:label2} \end{figure} \begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{path/to/file3} \caption{Caption for file3.} \label{fig:label3} \end{figure} \begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{path/to/file4} \caption{Caption for file4.} \label{fig:label4} \end{figure} How do I do this but in LaTeX? I know how to run simple loops like shown here: https://www.dickimaw-books.com/latex/admin/html/docsvlist.shtml \newcommand*{\mylist}{Parrot,Canary,Zebra,Arara,Duck}% \makeatletter \@for\thisitem:=\mylist\do{\thisitem. } \makeatother However, I not sure how to run a loop over a list of lists and index the inner list.

For a LaTeX class I'm currently working on, based on a graphic designer work, I need to change the \chapter command (roughly) as follows: the chapter title has to be typeset on a (odd) dedicated page, with a dedicated geometry, the two following pages, which contain the beginning of the chapter text, have to be typeset with a dedicated geometry, the following pages (until the next chapter) have to be typeset with the default geometry. The following MCE is a (clearly fragile) attempt to do so, which: works as expected with simple paragraphs (Lorem ipsum), doesn't work with a “real” document (\blinddocument), as shown: pages 3-7: the default geometry is restore starting on page 6, versus pages 9-13: the default geometry isn't restore starting on page 12. Do you understand what's going on and how to get the expected result? \documentclass{book} \usepackage{geometry} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage{fgruler} \usepackage{afterpage} \usepackage{blindtext} \geometry{ % Default geometry (small margin, just for the example) showframe, paperwidth=200mm, paperheight=250mm, margin=1cm } \renewcommand{\chapter}[1]{% \cleardoublepage \newgeometry{% Dedicated geometry for the chapter title (dedicated) page % (\newgeometry induces clearpage) tmargin=5cm, centering, } \thispagestyle{empty} \begin{center} \Huge\bfseries#1 % Chapter title \end{center} \newgeometry{% Dedicated geometry for the two pages following the chapter % title (dedicated) page tmargin=3cm } \afterpage{% On the following page \afterpage{% On the following page… \aftergroup\restoregeometry % … restore the default geometry } } } \begin{document} \fgruler*[type=in]{alledges} \lipsum[1] \chapter{Test} \lipsum[1-35] \blinddocument \lipsum[1-35] \end{document}

I am trying to place two TikZ figures side-by-side , but I am running into layout issues. In my document structure, I cannot use \resizebox or scale the figures, because there are too many elements that would conflict with my existing layout and typography constraints. For the same reason, I also want to avoid changing the x and y unit scales inside the TikZ pictures. My goal is to keep both figures at their natural size and still arrange them horizontally on the same line, respecting the page geometry. However, despite trying different approaches, the result is not satisfactory: the figures either overlap, break the margins, or force unwanted scaling. Is there a reliable way to force two TikZ pictures to stay side-by-side without resizing them and while respecting the page layout constraints? \documentclass{article} \usepackage[top=2.5cm,bottom=2.2cm, left=3.2cm,right=1.5cm,headsep=10pt,a4paper]{geometry} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{subcaption} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta} \tikzset{ rhtip/.tip={ Triangle[ fill=white, line width=0.8pt, length=8pt, width=8pt ] } } \begin{document} \begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \begin{subfigure}{0.48\textwidth} \centering \begin{tikzpicture}[x=0.6cm,y=0.6cm, font=\large] \draw[->] (0,0)--(6,0) node[right]{$x$}; \draw[->] (0,0)--(0,4) node[above]{$y$}; \node[below left] at (0,0){$O$}; \node[draw,circle] at (-1,3){$\Sigma$}; \begin{scope}[shift={(1.1,1.1)}] \draw[->] (0,0)--(6,0) node[right]{$x'$}; \draw[->] (0,0)--(0,4) node[above]{$y'$}; \node[below right] at (0,0){$O'$}; \node[draw,circle] at (1.5,3){$\Sigma'$}; \end{scope} \draw[-rhtip, line width=2pt, red!80!black] (6.2,3)--(7.5,3); \node[below] at (6.85,2.8){$\mathbf{v}$}; \end{tikzpicture} \caption{$\Sigma'$ in moto rispetto a $\Sigma$} \end{subfigure} \begin{subfigure}{0.48\textwidth} \centering \begin{tikzpicture}[x=0.6cm,y=0.6cm, font=\large] \draw[->] (0,0)--(6,0) node[right]{$x$}; \draw[->] (0,0)--(0,4) node[above]{$y$}; \node[below left] at (0,0){$O$}; \node[draw,circle] at (-1,3){$\Sigma$}; \begin{scope}[shift={(1.1,1.1)}] \draw[->] (0,0)--(6,0) node[right]{$x'$}; \draw[->] (0,0)--(0,4) node[above]{$y'$}; \node[below right] at (0,0){$O'$}; \node[draw,circle] at (1.5,3){$\Sigma'$}; \end{scope} \draw[-rhtip, line width=2pt, orange!80!black] (7.5,3)--(6.2,3); \node[above] at (6.85,3.1){$-\mathbf{v}$}; \end{tikzpicture} \caption{Velocità relativa opposta} \end{subfigure} \caption{Due sistemi di riferimento inerziali in moto relativo rettilineo uniforme.} \end{figure} \end{document}

I want to plot the surface in this image: This "MWE" does not run, though it conveys what I'm trying to do. \documentclass[tikz,border=1cm]{standalone} \usepackage{pgfplots} \pgfplotsset{compat=1.18} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[ declare function={ f(\x,\y)=sqrt((\x/2)^2+(\y)^2-1); g(\x,\y)=f(\x,\y)/abs(f(\x,\y)); h(\x,\y)=1/(((\x-10)^2+(\y-2)^2)^2+1); i(\x,\y)=g(\x,\y)+h(\x+\y); j(\x,\y)=i(\x,\y)+1/((\x)^2+(\y+10)^2-1); } ] \begin{axis}[ hide axis, view={-30}{30}, scale=3, unit vector ratio=1 1 1 ] \addplot3[ surf, color=black, opacity=0.2, samples=10, samples y=10, domain = 1:15, domain y = 0:\fpeval{2*pi}, z buffer=sort, ] ( {x}, {y}, {j(x,y)} ); \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} When we tessellate a surface domain by taking a Cartesian product of sequences along both dimensions and triangulating the resulting grid, the result will ultimately neglect important features in nontrivial illustrations. In this particular case, there are small regions of exceptionally high detail, and a nonlinear ridge, while most of the surface is undetailed. Why in the world would we waste so many triangles on those regions, slowing down everything, when we could instead strategically sample the domain, and Delaunay triangulate? This questions seeks that. I want, and have been studying for some time, a domain tessellation technique which does this: samples along the boundaries of the domain like sewing along a seam. We would then be able to use a post triangulation filter to remove any simplices which are outsite this seam. samples point singularities explitly, as well as along singularity curves as though they were a seam. ALSO samples a "seam" around asymptotic regions, so that a boolean filter can remove post-triangulation simplices which are within the asymptotic region. This "seam" should be dependent on the strength of the asymptote, in terms of how closely we sample it. AND very importantly, it will strategically sample according to curvature, so that nondetailed regions aren't wastefully samples, allowing us to logistically sample regions of higher curvature. Samples important calculus based points, curves, and regions, such as maxima and minima (including when they are along ridges, as in my example), and inflection ploints (including the same), etc. In my view, this is one of the biggest problems facing modern mathematics illustration as a practise.

I'm trying to customize item labels within an enumerate list on the fly, using the item options. However, I don't fully understand how it works. The code below produces unexpected results, and different patterns emerge for the first layer of the list and the second layer of the list. I'm trying to do this without using the enumitem package, if possible. I know how to manually edit the items, but want the counter to be more automated in the inner list. Here is a minimum working example: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \begin{enumerate} \item[\theenumi.] Why is this 0, instead of 1? \begin{enumerate} \item[\theenumii.] Why is this blank? \item[\theenumii.] Why is this blank? \item[\theenumii.] Why is this blank? \end{enumerate} \item And this adds one to the counter \item And this adds one to the counter \end{enumerate} \begin{enumerate} \setcounter{enumi}{1} \item[\theenumi.] Now this is 1, as expected. \begin{enumerate} \setcounter{enumii}{1} \item[\theenumii.] And this is a, as expected. \item[\theenumii.] Why doesn't this add one to the counter? \item[\theenumii.] Why doesn't this add one to the counter? \end{enumerate} \item And why does this still add one to the counter? \item And why does this still add one to the counter? \end{enumerate} \end{document} Here's the output:

This question might be off-topic, but the reason I ask it here is that I want to eventually create a module for a LaTeX package to enable the use of conic gradients via PDF Type 6 shadings which are also known as Coons Patch Mash Tiling. Also, please do not read this as "fix my issue for me" question. Rather, I appreciate any pointers to where I could be wrong. I understand that this topic is highly specialised, so I don't expect anybody to actually fix it completely or even partially. Now, as far as I understand, such shadings are essentially encoded as object stream in a PDF with the following object structure as basis (of course the object number and the contents of the stream and its length are different in a real document): 1 0 obj << /ShadingType 6 /ColorSpace /DeviceRGB /BitsPerCoordinate 16 /BitsPerComponent 8 /BitsPerFlag 2 /Decode [ 0 100 0 100 0 1 0 1 0 1 ] /Length 0 >> stream 00... endstream The stream defines the patches. Each path can be thought of a (distorted) rectangle of which the four sides are described as cubic Bézier curves. Therefore, each of the four edges of the patch has four control points, which means that there are twelve such points needed to describe a patch. Also, each corner of the patch is assigned a color. Now, in a mesh, the patches are attached to each other so that they share a common edge. To identify the shared edge, a flag is added to each patch which describes which edge is shared. A 0 flag identifies the initial patch, a 1 flag means that the right edge of the previous patch is used as the left edge of the current patch. There are more flags, but we only need these two for this case. If edges are shared, the relevant control points and colors are omitted in the description of the patch in the stream. So, if we take the sizes as described by /BitsPerCoordinate, \BitsPerComponent and /BitsPerFlag (let us assume 16, 8, and 2 respectively, also let us assume RGB), we get the following binary representation of the a patch with flag 0: Flag: 2 bits Points: 12 points, 16 bits for the x coordinate, 16 bits for the y coordinate Colors: 4 colors, 8 bits for the red part, 8 bits for the green part, 8 bits for the blue part For a patch with flag 1, we get: Flag: 2 bits Points: 8 points, 16 bits for the x coordinate, 16 bits for the y coordinate Colors: 2 colors, 8 bits for the red part, 8 bits for the green part, 8 bits for the blue part Maybe I got something wrong here already, which might explain why things don't work. Anyways, my question is why the following does not result in the desired output. My idea for a conic shading was to create patches that look like slices of a pie. Like this: I first tried without the rounded edge and just set the control points to be equal to the relevant corner, hoping that this would result in a triangle-shaped rectangle. So my patches would adhere to the following logic: Patch 1: Flag = 0 Points: (50, 50) (50, 50) (100, 50) (100, 50) (100, 50) (50, 100) (50, 100) (50, 100) (50, 50) (50, 50) (50, 50) (50, 50) Colors: (255,0,0) (191,0,64) (191,0,64) (255,0,0) Patch 2: Flag = 1 Points: (50, 100) (0, 50) (0, 50) (0, 50) (50, 50) (50, 50) (50, 50) (50, 50) Colors: (128,0,128) (128,0,128) Patch 3: Flag = 1 Points: (0, 50) (50, 0) (50, 0) (50, 0) (50, 50) (50, 50) (50, 50) (50, 50) Colors: (64,0,191) (64,0,191) Patch 4: Flag = 1 Points (50, 0) (100, 50) (100, 50) (100, 50) (50, 50) (50, 50) (50, 50) (50, 50) Colors: (0,0,255) (0,0,255) But, the output is totally not what it should look like although I think that the stream is correct. Acrobat also complains about something being wrong. It looks like this: 21 0 obj << /ShadingType 6 /ColorSpace /DeviceRGB /BitsPerCoordinate 16 /BitsPerComponent 8 /BitsPerFlag 2 /Decode [ 0 100 0 100 0 1 0 1 0 1 ] /Length 350 >> stream 20002000200020003FFFE0003FFFE0003FFFE00020003FFFE0003FFFE0003FFFE00020002000200020002000200020003FC0002FC0102FC0103FC00018000FFFF00008000000080000000800080008000800080008000800080008000800080800080400020002000000020000000200000002000200020002000200020002000200010002FD0002FD80000000FFFF8000FFFF8000FFFF8000800080008000800080008000800080000000FF0000FF endstream endobj So, my question is: What am I missing?

I use countwords to count the number of words in some LaTeX documents. The package counts words into a standard LaTeX counter. I then use totcount to display this wordcount at the beginning of the document. The number is generally in the thousands. Totcount provides a single macro \total{<counter>} for printing the eventual value of a counter, but it doesn't do any intelligent formatting, like dividing thousands with a comma/space (and fair enough -- very few situations call for counters in the thousands!). I would like to print the eventual value of the counter at the beginning of the document in a nicely formatted way. How can I do this? Based on other discussions of formatting counters, I have tried using numprint and siunitx, but neither of these work -- MWEs below. TIA!

I am a beginner LaTeX user who's utilizing the conference booklet template (found here) for a document, but I've run into a problem when having a chapter title be too long. Leaving it in a single line messes up its placement (and even makes it go through the end of the page if the title is long enough). I cannot seem to manage to get a line break there. Putting a \\ in the middle of \chapter{Long \\ title} gives me a 'somethin's wrong, perhaps a missing \item' error message, whereas \linebreak and \newline in its place both do nothing at all. Here are some screenshots to showcase what I mean: vs What I'm ideally looking for is to be able to break the chapter title into two lines and having the colored bar be thicker enough to compensate for it, but at this point I'd also be happy if I can just introduce any line break at all and just have the text aligned properly (to the side of the bar). Apologies if the solution is right there in my face or I've not provided sufficient information. Any help is appreciated!

Using knitr in LyX provides a very convenient way of dynamic (and reproducible) report generation. It works well for me except for preview of the knitr and \Sexpr{} chunks. I wrapped my \Sexpr{} with a preview box, but it didn't generate or insert a preview. Of course, knitr requires a preceding run (evaluation) with R to resolve R code into text, but I don't see a reason why the preview shouldn't work.

I used the following command: \begin{tikzpicture}[ x={(1cm,0cm)}, y={(-0.6cm,-0.35cm)}, z={(0cm,1cm)}, line join=round, line cap=round, scale=1, ] % Axes \draw[->] (0,0,0) -- (2,0,0); \draw[->] (0,0,0) -- (0,2.5,0); \draw[->] (0,0,0) -- (0,0,4); % Graph \draw[thick,smooth,variable=\t,domain=-1.8:1.8] plot ({\t},{0},{\t*\t}); % Circle that gives a 3d impression \draw[thick,smooth,variable=\t,domain=0:360] plot ({1.8*sin(\t)},{1.8*cos(\t)},{3.24}); \end{tikzpicture} However, the circle does not "fit" the graph: How can I adjust this?

I've gone through several threads on this forum, as well as videos by Javier Bezos, and these samples, but as the title says I'm unable to get Hindi text to work within a mostly English Beamer presentation, using Babel. Polyglossia works for me: \documentclass{beamer} \usepackage{polyglossia} \setdefaultlanguage{english} \setotherlanguage{hindi} \newfontfamily\devanagarifontsf[Script=Devanagari]{Noto Sans Devanagari} \begin{document} \title{\texthindi{नमस्ते}} \author{Lorem Ipsum} \begin{frame} \titlepage \end{frame} \end{document} However, I want to switch from Polyglossia to Babel because compilation is taking too long with Polyglossia for a large presentation. But I'm unable to find a snippet that works. For e.g.: \documentclass{beamer} \usepackage[english]{babel} \babelprovide[import, onchar=ids fonts]{hindi} \babelfont[devanagari]{sf}{Noto Sans Devanagari} \begin{document} \title{नमस्ते} \author{Lorem Ipsum} \begin{frame} \titlepage \end{frame} \end{document} When I compile this snippet with lualatex, I get this error: [1 Missing character: There is no न (U+0928) in font [lmsans12-regular]:+tlig;! {/var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map} Missing character: There is no म (U+092E) in font [lmsans12-regular]:+tlig;!

I am aware for creating historical documents, the DVI format is still in use. And there is still tex4ht, as far as I know the only way to convert latex to HTML offered in TeXlive, but, apart from this, is there any use case for the DVI format? Maybe another package relying on it. I ask because i maintain a kind of build tool (very roughly comparable with latexmk) and ask myself on the details of supporting the dvi format.

I'm having trouble understanding Asymptote's (3.11) light rendering. When I run this code below: import three; size(8cm); currentprojection = orthographic((5,4,2), up=Y); currentlight = light(new pen[]{white}, new triple[]{(1,1,1)}); draw(unitcube, surfacepen=material(cyan)); real L = 2; draw(O--L*X, Arrow3); draw(O--L*Y, Arrow3); draw(O--L*Z, Arrow3); label("$x$", L*X, E); label("$y$", L*Y, N); label("$z$", L*Z, Z); I expected it to light up the whole cube (from my viewpoint; I understand the backside might not be lit). However, I instead got this: The left side of the cube is completely dark, which does not make sense considering the unit cube should essentially be lit with the placement of the light. However, changing the perspective to (5, 4, -2) yields this: The side that's pitch black here is the side that was initially lit in the first image. Considering there was no change to the light's position, I did not expect this to happen. I experimented with the emissive argument, however that is not what I wish to do. How does the lighting actually work in asymptote, and how do I fully illuminate all three sides of the cube, using the initial orthographic projection?

I've been working with google AI on this for 2 hrs. It can't figure a solution. One time it gave me 100 lines javascript code to fix this. Then it gave 50 lines .css code which made the date vanish. Here is MWE \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{latexml} \begin{document} \title{my book} \author{me} \date{\today} \maketitle \tableofcontents \section{first section} text \end{document} latexml always adds () around the date for some reason: How to tell it not to do that? commands used >latexml --dest=A.xml A.tex >latexmlpost --format=html5 --dest=A.htm A.xml

I am trying to make the next complex citation with suffixes and prefixes: Shabica, 1970, 1971, Baird et al., 1985a; Baird & Sroka, 1990, their figure 5, p. C12-C13; Baird, 1997a, c, his figure 5A.4, p. 40) I know that in this case, we have to use \cite[prefix={}, suffix={}]{\reference}, but here there is another suffix at the end. I tried a lot of combinations using the previous command, but none of them worked.

Is there a way to improve my solution? Thank you in advance.

Using latexml (LaTeXML version 0.8.8) I am not able to compile an existing latex document which has listings inside tabular. I asked google AI but it does not know why.

Please write LaTeX code using pdflatex to reproduce "MODULO 2" with an approximate outline style similar to the image, sized to 12.4 cm wide and 5.3 cm high, without using TikZ. My best attempt has been: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage{xcolor} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{contour} \renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault} \begin{document} \noindent \resizebox{8.5cm}{3cm}{% \contourlength{0.5pt}% \contour{black}{\textcolor{white}{\textbf{MODULO}}}% }\, \resizebox{2.6cm}{5.2cm}{% \contourlength{0.5pt}% {\textcolor{black}{\textbf{2}}}% } \end{document} Using pdfLaTeX: but I would like something as close as possible to this:

I noticed that when I try to type unicode-math "⦦", the angle symbol is smaller than "∠" and "∟". Is there a way to draw another angle symbol that is outwardly slanted and the same size as "∠" and "∟"? \documentclass{article} \usepackage{unicode-math} \setmathfont{NewCMMath-Regular.otf} \begin{document} $∠∟⦦$ \end{document}

I have the following \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article} \usepackage{amsmath,amssymb} \usepackage{geometry} \usepackage{lipsum} \geometry{margin=2cm} \setlength{\parindent}{0pt} \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.25} \newsavebox{\leftbox} \begin{document} \begin{lrbox}{\leftbox} \begin{minipage}[t]{0.33\textwidth} \textbf{Given:}\hspace{2.5cm}\textbf{SI:} \vspace{2mm} \begin{tabular}{@{}l|l@{}} $m_1=120$ g & $0.12$ kg\\ $m_2=50$ g & $0.05$ kg\\ $c_1=4200\ \dfrac{\text{J}}{\text{kg}\cdot^\circ\text{C}}$ &\\ $c_2=920\ \dfrac{\text{J}}{\text{kg}\cdot^\circ\text{C}}$ &\\ $R=2\ \Omega$ &\\ $U=5$ V &\\ $\Delta t=12^\circ\text{C}$ &\\ $\eta=20\%$ &\\ \hline \multicolumn{2}{@{}l@{}}{\textbf{Find:}}\\ \multicolumn{2}{@{}l@{}}{$U-?$} \end{tabular} \end{minipage} \end{lrbox} \noindent \usebox{\leftbox} \hfill \begin{minipage}[t][\dimexpr\ht\leftbox+\dp\leftbox\relax][t]{0.64\textwidth} \textbf{Solution:} \vspace{2mm} \lipsum[1] \vfill \end{minipage} \lipsum[1-2] \end{document} which gives me this However I would like to write text in the right minipage as a continuous text without the need to break it (now it is causing problems with overlapping). I also would like to automatically left align the word 'SI' with the letters below it. It obviously comes from the fact that neither 'SI' or 'Given' are in the table, but that's on purpose - I need 'Given', 'SI' and 'Solution' to be on the same level vertically. How do I do that?

I am trying to get a matrix with an overbrace and sidebrace which looks like the following; I tried the following code so far, \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{epsfig} \usepackage{amssymb} %\usepackage[dvips]{color} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{amsthm} \[ \begin{array}{ccc} \overbrace{\text{Col 1}}^{\text{Label A}} & %\overbrace{\text{Col 2 \quad Col 3}}^{\text{Label B}} & %\overbrace{\text{Col 4}}^{\text{Label C}} \\ \begin{bmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} & a_{23} \\ a_{31} & a_{32} & a_{33} \end{bmatrix} \end{array} \] \end{document} But it is not giving the desired output. Kindly help.

I'm trying to make a worksheet where students need to fill out parts of a long division statement. I usually use the longdivision package, but realized that I can't cover up parts of it for students to fill out. Any suggestions? I've attached an image for reference.
