I have the following code: \documentclass[tikz,border=5pt]{standalone} \begin{document} \ExplSyntaxOn \keys_define:nn {mykey} { foo .tl_set:N = \l_tmpa_tl } \keys_set:nn {mykey} { foo = {O\quad K},%<- } \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[dotted] (0,0) -- (2,0); \node[inner~sep=0pt] at (1,0) {\l_tmpa_tl}; \end{tikzpicture} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[dotted] (0,0) -- (2,0); \node[fill=white,inner~sep=0pt] at (1,0) {\l_tmpa_tl}; \end{tikzpicture} \ExplSyntaxOff \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[dotted] (0,0) -- (2,0); \node[fill=white,inner sep=0pt] at (.7,0) {O}; \node[fill=white,inner sep=0pt] at (1.3,0) {K}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} For the sake of the template settings, the text O\quad K should be put as a token list, as a whole, but I need the third picture's result. Is that possible to just fill=white to just shade the "text area"? Edited: Since cfr commented for the original template case, I would provide more information. Claims: The original package is exam-zh package It depends on xeCJK, so xelatex is must I was not sure that whether it's CJK fonts settings works on every OS. See here. What I want, is to achieve something sealline style as below: It appeared in the leftmargin of exam paper: Now I have the following code: \documentclass{exam-zh} \usepackage{zhlipsum} % \ExplSyntaxOn % % Line 1487 in exam-zh.cls % % https://github.com/xkwxdyy/exam-zh/blob/main/exam-zh.cls#L1487-L1496 % \cs_set:Npn \__examzh_sealline_odd_text_around_line: % { % \node [ anchor = east ] % at ([xshift = -\g__examzh_sealline_odd_text_xshift_dim, yshift = \g__examzh_sealline_odd_text_yshift_dim]current~page~text~area.west) % { % \g__examzh_sealline_odd_text_format_tl % \__examzh_sealline_odd_spread_box:nn { \g__examzh_sealline_odd_text_width_dim } % { \g__examzh_sealline_odd_text_tl } % }; % } % \ExplSyntaxOff \examsetup{ sealline={ show=true, circle-show=false, line-type={loosely-dotted}, text={密封线},%<- the text here is put as `\g__examzh_sealline_odd_text_tl' text-format={\huge\bfseries}, line-thickness={2.5pt}, text-xshift={.375cm} } } \begin{document} \zhlipsum[name=zhufu] \end{document} That is the original case. Noted that 密封线, the l3keys sealline/text is put into \g__examzh_sealline_odd_text_tl ands \g__examzh_sealline_even_text_tl here(why I say as a whole). Which need to be processed by \__examzh_sealline_odd_spread_box:nn here. I want to change the present settings of exam-zh's setting code to the minimal extent.(Of course, I can type text={}, leave it empty, and follow \__examzh_sealline_odd_circle: here to draw multiple \node[fill=white] {密}s) But that change too much the package's setting. So, I simplified it to my origianl post😊.

I have a very long equation where the fraction line spans the whole equation, which makes it fit poorly in the IEEEtran format! Below is an image of the equation(s) in question, along with the current code I am using. Feel free to think creatively for a solution, I am open to almost anything. \documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage{amsmath, amssymb, amsthm} \usepackage{geometry} \usepackage{empheq} \geometry{margin=1in} \begin{document} \begin{empheq}[left=\empheqlbrace]{alignat=2} \label{eq:EOM} &\ddot x_w &= \frac{ \dfrac{k_t}{R_m}V_m - \left(\dfrac{k_e k_t}{R_m}+b_f\right)\left( \frac{\dot{x}_w}{r_w} - \dot\theta_b \right) - r_w m_b l_b\!\left(\ddot\theta_b\cos\theta_b-\dot\theta_b^{2}\sin\theta_b\right) }{ \dfrac{I_w}{r_w}+r_w m_w + r_w m_b }, \\ &\ddot\theta_b &= \frac{ - \dfrac{k_t}{R_m}V_m + \left(\dfrac{k_e k_t}{R_m}+b_f\right)\left( \frac{\dot{x}_w}{r_w} - \dot\theta_b \right) + m_b l_b g \sin\theta_b - m_b l_b \ddot x_w \cos\theta_b }{ I_b + m_b l_b^{2} }. \end{empheq} \end{document} Any help would be awesome Edit: Its my first time working with the IEEEtran format but for this questions, it is just a double-column format.

I want to create a command \isthisprime{<number>} where it decides whether <number> is or is not prime, and if it is, it also returns the order of the prime (eg, 2 is the first, 3 is the second, and so on). Here is my attempt at a code (excuse my choice of naming the counters): \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{enumitem} \usepackage{lipsum,blindtext} \newcount\div \newcount\divs \newcount\somnum \newcount\yes \newcount\yess \newcount\numberofprimes \newcommand{\isthisprime}[1]{% %Decide if #1 is prime \div=2 \yes=0 \ifnum#1<2 \yes=1 \fi \loop \ifnum\div<#1 \ifnum#1=\numexpr(#1/\div)*\div\relax \yes=1 \fi \advance\div by 1 \repeat \numberofprimes=0 \somnum=2 \yess=0 \divs=2 %Checking every number less than or equal to #1 \ifnum\yes=0 \loop \ifnum\somnum<\numexpr#1+1\relax \loop%checking if somnum is prime \ifnum\divs<\somnum \ifnum\somnum=\numexpr(\somnum/\divs)*\divs\relax \yess=1 \fi \advance\divs by 1 \repeat \ifnum\yess=0 \advance\numberofprimes by 1 \fi \yess=0\divs=2\advance\somnum by 1 \repeat \fi \ifnum\yes=0 #1 is a prime with index~\the\numberofprimes. \else #1 is not a prime. \fi } \begin{document} \isthisprime{101}\newline \isthisprime{102} \end{document} The idea: the first part of the code decides whether or not <number> is a prime; if it is we set the counter \yes=1, otherwise it remains equal to 0. So if \yes=1 we check every number less than or equal to <number> to see if it is prime or not. At every occurrence of prime, we increase the counter \numberof primes. Hence \numberofprimes will determine the order of <number>, if it prime that is. The part where it decides whether or not the input is prime or not is fine. However, it cannot find its order. It just says that the order is 1 if the input is prime. It cannot see what is wrong with my code, so I would appreciate any advice! Thank you in advance.

When I turn on headings for entries in index, I get the following error: ! LaTeX Error: Invalid UTF-8 byte sequence (�\check@icr). This is a minimal tex file: \documentclass{scrbook} \usepackage{splitidx} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[ngerman]{babel} \makeindex \newindex[Index of Fruits]{fru} \begin{document} \sindex[fru]{Äpfel} \sindex[fru]{üzüm} \printindex[fru][Index of Fruits] \end{document} This is a minimal style file: headings_flag 1 heading_prefix "{\\textbf{" heading_suffix "}}\\nopagebreak\n" If I set headings_flag to 0 in the style file, I get no error messages. But the entries in index don't get headings in this case. In order to reproduce the same error, follow these steps: pdflatex file.tex splitindex file.idx -- -s style.ist pdflatex file.tex There is a similar question, which has no accepted answer.

i'm trying to do some geometric frieze with tikz. The last goal is to do a command to draw one of the 7 possible frieze (see wikipedia). But, first, i just do 1 frieze. Results: My code: \documentclass[tikz]{standalone} \begin{document} \newcommand{\footstep}[4]{ \begin{scope}[ xshift=#3cm, %for translation yshift=#4cm, %for translation xscale=#1, %for reflexion yscale=#2 %for reflexion ] \draw (1, 3) -- (1, 0); \draw (1, 0) -- (7, 0); \draw (6, 3) -- (7, 0); \draw (6, 3) -- (5, 0); \draw (5, 0) -- (4, 2); \draw (4, 2) -- (2, 0); \draw (2, 0) -- (1, 3); \end{scope} } \begin{tikzpicture}[rounded corners=1pt, very thick, scale=.75] \draw[help lines] (0,-1) grid (22,5); \footstep{1}{1}{0}{0} \footstep{1}{-1}{7}{3} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} but i have to find the parameters by myself. I'd like something automatic. Something like : xshift = "scope width" yshift = "scope height" Thanks

Until a recent update, the following example used New Computer Modern book weight in the first paragraph and Latin Modern demibold in the second paragraph (confirmed with an older texlive in Overleaf). After the update, the BoldFont setting no longer seems to work and New Computer Modern bold is used. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \usepackage{kantlipsum} \setmainfont{NewCM10-Book.otf}[ BoldFont=lmromandemi10-regular.otf, ] \begin{document} \kant[1][1-2] \bfseries \kant[1][1-2] \end{document} I know there was some recent discussion around NewCM defaulting to Harf mode and not being able to override this due to the provided .fontspec files. Did something change so that setting BoldFont is no longer possible? Note that if NewCM10-Book.otf is changed to another font, say TeX Gyre Pagella, then the example works as expected.

In this tikz MWE, why is the node placement not even close to pos=0.7 on a plotted curve? \documentclass[tikz,border=1cm]{standalone} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[ domain = 0:2, samples = 100, variable = \y ] plot (\y*\y,\y) node[pos = 0.7, above left] {\(x=y^2\)} ; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

The commented-out line in the source below, if used instead of the line preceding it, produces ISO-style for upper-case Greek math letters, namely, Italic insead of upright.

The mathtools package can automatically insert italics correction when using \(...\) for inline math mode. See this answer. However, I much prefer $...$ for inline math as I find it more readable and comfortable to type on my keyboard layout. I am currently using the following hack to keep using the $...$ syntax while preserving the italics correction. \catcode`\$=13% \def$#1${\(#1\)}% I haven't had issues with it in my current document, but I was wondering whether there are reasons this might be a bad idea. I would image that if this was harmless the mathtools package would use it to also patch the $...$ syntax for the mathic feature. So my question is: Is this safe and are there any caveats I might be overseeing?

In the 1572 algebra book L'Algebra by Rafael Bombelli, he uses his own notation for powers. I want to reproduce this notation in LaTeX. Below is a screenshot from the book that shows how he wrote to the sixth power, the fifth power, etc. In general, x to the power of n is written as n above a kind of circular arc. I have found a good example where it is made nicely in LaTeX. But I don't know how to reproduce it. Can anyone offer a solution to writing this power notation in LaTeX?

I have the following table. I am particularly interested in columns 1-2. There, I have three different values of \mathcal{T} for each value of \mathcal{J}.

This is not a technical question about LaTeX or TeX. Imagine I have created a cool LaTeX package or a new TeX engine or something similar. Is there a good place to post this? I see special mailing lists (for example tex-live), these don't seem to fit. Where can / should I place announcements like this?

Due to a chat-talk with @Rmano, I asked myself wether there is a methode to set the rounded corners of a oscopeshape to 0pt or to a very small value. The rounded corners can become weird, if I set a small scale: \documentclass[margin=10pt]{standalone} \usepackage{circuitikz} \begin{document} \begin{circuitikz}[font=\footnotesize] \node[oscopeshape] (A){scale=1}; \node[oscopeshape, right of=A, scale=0.5](B) {scale=0.5}; \node[oscopeshape, right of=B, scale=0.35] {scale=0.35}; \end{circuitikz} \end{document}

The unicode-math package re-defines ellipsis to be the ellipsis character in whatever font you're using, instead of spaced dots. This looks bad in my opinion, and violates the guidance on ellipses in every style guide I own. A solution for \ldots is provided here: variations-in-ldots. But that solution does not fix \cdots, \vdots, or \ddots. I managed to find a solution for \cdots that works in this MWE, but seems to fail in other instances that I haven't figured out a reliable way to reproduce. And I can't figure out a solution for \vdots or \ddots at all. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{unicode-math} \AtBeginDocument{ % From https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/120627/variations-in-ldots \renewcommand\mathellipsis{\mathinner{\ldotp\ldotp\ldotp}} \renewcommand\cdots{\mathinner{\cdotp\cdotp\cdotp}} % sometimes works %\renewcommand\vdots{\mathinner{\vdotp\vdotp\vdotp}} % doesn't work %\renewcommand\ddots{\mathinner{\ddotp\ddotp\ddotp}} % doesn't work } \begin{document} $\dots, \ldots, \cdots, \vdots, \ddots$ \end{document} Found an example of where my solution for \cdots didn't work. It's when \dots is used instead of \cdots explicitly to centrally place dots: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{unicode-math} \AtBeginDocument{ \renewcommand\mathellipsis{\mathinner{\ldotp\ldotp\ldotp}} \renewcommand\cdots{\mathinner{\cdotp\cdotp\cdotp}} % sometimes works } \begin{document} $x+\dots+ y$ % Do not get spaced dots $x+\cdots+ y$ % Do get spaced dots \end{document}

I would have thought that if I declare \let\stdeqref\eqref, then the \stdeqref macro and the \eqref macro would be interchangeable. But here is an example where it fails! Moreover, this failure is (somehow) caused by the microtype package?! What is going on, and how to fix it? \documentclass{article} \usepackage{microtype} \usepackage{amsmath} \let\stdeqref\eqref \begin{document} \begin{equation}\label{a} A \end{equation} This is good spacing: \eqref{a}\allowbreak\eqref{a} This is bad spacing: \stdeqref{a}\allowbreak\stdeqref{a} But the bad spacing becomes good if we remove microtype! \end{document} The reason I'm asking is that I would like to redefine the \eqref macro in a way which uses the usual \eqref macro as a subcomponent, via the usual strategy I've seen time and time again on this site: \let\stdeqref\eqref \renewcommand\eqref[1]{Something fancy containing \stdeqref{#1} etc.} but that doesn't work anymore if \let isn't behaving as expected . . .

I'm typesetting my math document in Times New Roman using XeLaTeX and the fontspec package. I'm using mtpro2 as the math font, but I've noticed that certain letters, such as u, v and w, look quite different from their TNR italic counterparts (maybe because it's advertised as a Times-compatible font). Considering I'm already using the fontspec package, I tried ditching mtpro2 entirely and using other math fonts. I consulted the LaTeX Stack Exchange master list of maths fonts and tried XITS Math, TeX Gyre Termes Math and STIX Two Math. However, these fonts lack some features that I really like about mtpro2, such as round brackets (especially for matrices) and the letter z identical to the letter z in TNR. mtpro2 is here to stay. Next, I found the 'mathastext' package, which enables alphanumeric glyphs from the text font to be used in maths environments. For example, \usepackage[basic, italic]{mathastext} replaces all the alphanumeric characters in the maths font with the corresponding characters in the text font. However, this approach led me to another issue: the spacing between letters is awful, especially the subscripted ones. Since my only issue is with the letters u, v, and w, is there a way to just replace those three and use the rest of the mtpro2 glyphs? The code I'm using for my document is really bog standard: \documentclass{memoir} % Throw an error if this is not XeLaTeX. \usepackage{ifxetex} \RequireXeTeX \usepackage[lite]{mtpro2} \usepackage[no-math]{fontspec} \setmainfont{Times New Roman} \begin{document} \end{document} Any help would be appreciated.

Can somebody explain what is happening?

I also found out that autocompile works when I type: \begin{problem}[some text here] Fix an integer $n \ge 1$. Tom has a scientific calculator.

Below is a MWE. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{mathtools,amssymb} \usepackage{tikz-cd} \begin{document} \[ \begin{tikzcd} {\{\,{\text{\( k \)-schémas étales finis}}\,\}} & {\begin{aligned} &\{\, \text{ensembles finis munis}\\ &\quad\text{d'une action continue de \( \mathrm{Gal}(\overline{k}/k) \)}\,\} \end{aligned}} \\ {AM(k)_{\mathbb{Q}}} & {\begin{aligned} &\{\, \text{\( \mathbb{Q} \)‑espaces vectoriels de dimension finie munis}\\ &\quad\text{d'une action linéaire continue de \( \mathrm{Gal}(\overline{k}/k) \)}\,\} \end{aligned}} \arrow["\sim", from=1-1, to=1-2] \arrow["{\mathfrak{h}}"', from=1-1, to=2-1] \arrow["{\mathfrak{l}}", from=1-2, to=2-2] \arrow["\sim", from=2-1, to=2-2] \end{tikzcd} \] \end{document}

First of all "Merry Christmas" to everyone. I'm trying to get decimal output with luacas and don't get it. \documentclass[paper=a4,fontsize=12pt]{scrartcl} \usepackage{luacas} \begin{document} \directlua{ a=3 b=8 c=a/b tex.print('$',c,'$') } \end{document} The code above gives the expectet 0.375. Changing to \documentclass[paper=a4,fontsize=12pt]{scrartcl} \usepackage{luacas} \begin{document} \begin{CAS} a=3 b=8 c=Rational(a,b) \end{CAS} $\print{a}$ $\print{b}$ $\print{c}$ $\print{c.numerator}$ $\print{c.denominator}$ \end{document} gives 3, 8, the fraction 3 over 8, 3 and 8. In the manual there is the funtion :asnumber() given but \documentclass[paper=a4,fontsize=12pt]{scrartcl} \usepackage{luacas} \begin{document} \begin{CAS} a=3 b=8 c=Rational(a,b) d=c:asnumber() \end{CAS} $\print{a}$ $\print{b}$ $\print{c}$ $\print{c.numerator}$ $\print{c.denominator}$ $\print{d}$ \end{document} gives Lua-Error and the $\print{d}$ is ignored. I also tried something like d=Rational:asnumber(c) or used the funktions ZZ(), QQ() and RR() but without any success. Also $\print{c:asnumber()}$ fails. Trying to print the decimal with $\directlua{tex.print(string.format("\csstring\%.3f",c))}$ gives also a Lua error ('c' is a table but a number is expected by 'string.format()'). I'm not having any ideas how to solve it any more. Thank you for your help.

I am making the following table using LaTeX. One way to do it is to make a separate row for the "Top Header" header. However, this results in space below that header and the "sub headers": \documentclass{article} \usepackage{booktabs} \begin{document} \begin{table} \centering \begin{tabular}{ll rr} \toprule (1) & (2) & (3) & (4) \\ \midrule & & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Top Header} \\ \cmidrule(lr){3-4} Main & Main & \\ Header 1 & Header 2 & Sub 1 & Sub 2 \\ \midrule 0.01 & 0.25 & 0.05 & 0.00 \\ 0.02 & 0.25 & 0.11 & 0.03 \\ 0.05 & 0.25 & 0.16 & 0.09 \\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{table} \end{document} An alternative way is to include "Top Header" on the same line as the top line of the "Main Headers", but the use of \cmidrule creates awkward space for the two "Main Headers": \documentclass{article} \usepackage{booktabs} \begin{document} \begin{table} \centering \begin{tabular}{ll rr} \toprule (1) & (2) & (3) & (4) \\ \midrule Main & Main & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Top Header} \\ \cmidrule(lr){3-4} Header 1 & Header 2 & Sub 1 & Sub 2 \\ \midrule 0.01 & 0.25 & 0.05 & 0.00 \\ 0.02 & 0.25 & 0.11 & 0.03 \\ 0.05 & 0.25 & 0.16 & 0.09 \\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{table} \end{document} A third way, with no \cmidrule gets the vertical spacing right, but I do want a to use \cmidrule to get a line under "Top Header": \documentclass{article} \usepackage{booktabs} \begin{document} \begin{table} \centering \begin{tabular}{ll rr} \toprule (1) & (2) & (3) & (4) \\ \midrule Main & Main & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Top Header} \\ Header 1 & Header 2 & Sub 1 & Sub 2 \\ \midrule 0.01 & 0.25 & 0.05 & 0.00 \\ 0.02 & 0.25 & 0.11 & 0.03 \\ 0.05 & 0.25 & 0.16 & 0.09 \\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{table} \end{document} How can I get columns 1 and 2 to behave as in the first table, but columns 3 and 4 to behave as in the second table? In other words, I'd like the headers to take up two lines, as in the second table, and I'd like to use the \cmidrule command for columns 3 and 4, but I don't want the the extra space in between "Main" and "Header 1" and "Main" and "Header 2" that we see in the second table.

The motivation Pfaff, Johann Friedrich: Methodus generalis, aequationes differentiarum partialium, nec non aequationes differentiales vulgares, utrasque primi ordinis inter quotcunque variabiles, complete integrandi The Problem \documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{mathtools} \usepackage{unicode-math} \setmainfont{STIX Two Text} \setmathfont{STIX Two Math} \newcommand{\tprime}{\char"2034} % ‴ \newcommand{\qprime}{\char"2057} % ⁗ \begin{document} Prime notation: $x^{\prime},x^{\dprime},x^{\tprime},x^{\qprime}$ \end{document} Obviously, the desired result would be for the triple prime to look like the double prime with one more prime, and to look like the quadruple prime with one less prime. This appears to be a feature of unicode since it appears in browsers, in Kate, in Emacs, (differently un-uniform) in xterm. Is there a way to produce a uniform set of prime, double prime, triple prime, quadruple prime using LuaLaTeX? Preferably with STIX Two. Post Script. I was unaware that $x'''$ would work. I learned to author LaTeX using LyX which is WYSIWYM not WYSIWYG. I rarely compiled what I was writing. My reality was what I saw in LyX.

I ask this question only out of curiousity's sake. I am not actually planning on defining a new command called \cmd because the usual \cs macro has superior syntax. (\cmd<command name, including backslash> and \cs{<command name, omitting backslash>} would print the name of a command.) When defining and testing \cmd, I found a strange error where \cmd\par would issue an error even if \cmd is \long (+m in \NewDocumentCommand). So I think that the argument should accept \par tokens. After some trial and error, I randomly changed \texttt to \ttfamily and the error went away. My question is: Why did this fix the error? I don't understand why \texttt wouldn't work correctly in this case. I provide a MWE below to demonstrate the issue: \documentclass{article} \ExplSyntaxOn \NewDocumentCommand \cmdtesti { +m } { \__module_cmd_test_i:N #1 } \cs_new_protected:Npn \__module_cmd_test_i:N #1 { \group_begin: \ttfamily \token_to_str:N #1 \@ % works correctly when #1 is \par \group_end: } \NewDocumentCommand \cmdtestii { +m } { \__module_cmd_test_ii:N #1 } \cs_new_protected:Npn \__module_cmd_test_ii:N #1 { \texttt { \token_to_str:N #1 \@ } % This gives an error if #1 is \par. } \ExplSyntaxOff \begin{document} \cmdtesti\command % no error \cmdtestii\command % no error \cmdtesti\par % no error % \cmdtestii\par % gives an error % \cmdtestii{\par} % gives an error \end{document}

Disclaimer This question is a bit of "do it for me" but there is a histrory behind it, see this question. User Jasper offered me a solution without using pgfplots. I plan to add a bounty as soon as it is possible. Question I want to create diagram with a 3D line plots. The main feature is to have several x axes that share the same y axis. Each x axis has its own F (or z) axis. There are only data points on specific y values (in the example below at +30, +15, 0, -15). In addition, the y axis is reversed (+ and - direction reversed). I need a grid in each F-x plane. Important ist also, that all F axes share the same min and max. Each axis should have a label and the diagram should have a title. The data is given in separate csv files, see example below. The MWE contains the data and plots the data (for testing) using pgfplots. Goal: The goal is to have a plain tikz solution and maybe in addition, a solution based on luadraw or lua-tikz3dtools respectively. I am looking for a easy-to-use custom interface for my plot task. If the result looks as it is created with pgfplots, then I am happy. S!#i, I forgot a key feature (not shown in the hand drawing) In addition to the x-F plots described above, there is ONE plot in the y-F plane (= from left to right). This works, because all F axes share the same min and max. \begin{filecontents*}{y_F_data.csv} y,F -15,20 -14,8 30,-4 \end{filecontents*} \documentclass{article} \usepackage{pgfplots} % ------------------------------- \begin{filecontents*}{x_zero.csv} x,F -30,12 -29,8 30,-4 \end{filecontents*} \begin{filecontents*}{x_neg_one.csv} x,F -30,12 -29,8 30,-4 \end{filecontents*} \begin{filecontents*}{x_pos_one.csv} x,F -30,12 -29,8 30,-4 \end{filecontents*} \begin{filecontents*}{x_pos_two.csv} x,F -30,12 -29,8 30,-4 \end{filecontents*} % ------------------------------- \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[ axis lines = center, title = {$x_0$}, xlabel = {$x_0$}, ylabel = {$F_0$}, xmin = -30, xmax = 30, ymin = -100, ymax = 100, ] \addplot table [x=x, y=F, col sep = comma] {x_zero.csv}; \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[ axis lines = center, title = {$x_{-1}$}, xlabel = {$x_{-1}$}, ylabel = {$F_{-1}$}, xmin = -30, xmax = 30, ymin = -100, ymax = 100, ] \addplot table [x=x, y=F, col sep = comma] {x_neg_one.csv}; \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[ axis lines = center, title = {$x_{1}$}, xlabel = {$x_{1}$}, ylabel = {$F_{1}$}, xmin = -30, xmax = 30, ymin = -100, ymax = 100, ] \addplot table [x=x, y=F, col sep = comma] {x_pos_one.csv}; \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[ axis lines = center, title = {$x_{2}$}, xlabel = {$x_{2}$}, ylabel = {$F_{2}$}, xmin = -30, xmax = 30, ymin = -100, ymax = 100, ] \addplot table [x=x, y=F, col sep = comma] {x_pos_two.csv}; \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

I’m defining datas in LaTeX with a custom command that stores both a label and a number: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{parskip} \newcommand{\data}[3]{% \expandafter\newcommand\csname #1\endcsname[1][]{#2##1}% \expandafter\newcommand\csname #1Number\endcsname{#3}% } \newcommand{\getnumber}[1]{% \mbox{\textbf{(\csname #1Number\endcsname)}}% } \begin{document} \data{tempA}{aaa}{1} \data{tempB}{bbb}{2} \data{tempC}{ccc}{3} \data{tempD}{ddd}{4} \data{tempE}{eee}{5} \data{tempF}{fff}{6} Data: \tempA \newline Number: \getnumber{tempA} \end{document} For a single compound, \getnumber{tempA} outputs (1). Now I want to create a command that takes a list of compound names and outputs a range summary of their numbers. For example: \getnumberrange{tempA,tempB,tempC,tempF} % should produce (1-3,6) I’m not sure how to iterate over a list of command names, retrieve their numbers, and compress consecutive numbers into ranges. How can I implement this in LaTeX?
