For one of my statistics projects I need to calculate some confidence intervals. I put them all in a table, but it bothers me that the square brackets are not lining up. Is there a way to make it so that all of them line up at the beginning and at the end? I added a MWE and a picture. \documentclass[11pt]{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{booktabs} \usepackage{float} \usepackage[margin=2.5cm]{geometry} \begin{document} \begin{table}[h] \centering \begin{tabular}{lccc} \toprule Variable & Confidence interval mean & Confidence interval median & Confidence interval variance \\ \midrule BMI & $[27.31,29.02]$ & $[26.52,28.06]$ & $[37.53,54.90]$ \\ WHR & $[0.86,0.88]$ & $[0.86,0.89]$ & $[0.004,0.006]$ \\ MAP & $[99.06,102.86]$ & $[97.33,101.33]$ & $[183.93,282.34]$\\ CHR & $[4.08,4.45]$ & $[3.70,4.25]$ & $[1.71,2.61]$ \\ Age & $[42.19,46.09]$ & $[40.00,45.00]$ & $[206.73,287.33]$ \\ Stab\_glu & $[89.34,95.99]$ & $[85.00,89.00]$ & $[283.18,1405.86]$ \\ Glyhb & $[4.69,4.87]$ & $[4.62,4.79]$ & $[0.43,0.64]$ \\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \caption{Confidence intervals for diabetic negative data} \label{tab:CI diabetic negative} \end{table} \end{document}

A question similar to Capitalize French part name. What I wish : I would like the headers to be written uppercase : on even pages : CHAPITRE X. TITLE OF THE CHAPTER on odd pages : PREMIÈRE PARTIE. TITLE OF THE PART What I tried : I used the fancyhdr package and here is a minimal working example : \documentclass[twoside]{book} \usepackage[french]{babel} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{fancyhdr} \usepackage{lipsum} % Defining command \parttitle \newcommand*\parttitle{} \let\origpart\part \renewcommand*{\part}[2][]{% \ifx\\#1\\% argument optionnel absent ? \origpart{#2}% \renewcommand*\parttitle{#2}% \else \origpart[#1]{#2}% \renewcommand*\parttitle{#1}% \fi } % Defining command \chaptertitle \newcommand*\chaptertitle{} \let\origchapter\chapter \renewcommand*{\chapter}[2][]{% \ifx\\#1\\% argument optionnel absent ? \origchapter{#2}% \renewcommand*\chaptertitle{#2}% \else \origchapter[#1]{#2}% \renewcommand*\chaptertitle{#1}% \fi } %Defining right and left marks \renewcommand{\leftmark}{\MakeUppercase{\chaptername \ \thechapter. \ \chaptertitle}} \renewcommand{\rightmark}{\MakeUppercase{\partname. \ \parttitle}} % Defining header style \pagestyle{fancy} \fancyfoot{} \fancyfoot[C]{\thepage} \fancyhead{} \fancyhead[RO]{\emph{\rightmark}} \fancyhead[LE]{\emph{\leftmark}} \begin{document} \part{Titre de la partie} \chapter{Titre du chapitre} \lipsum[1-10] \end{document} Doing this yields the correct result for even pages (btw it matches the default setting of fancyhdr) : Yet, on odd pages, the part title is written uppercase but not the partname : I would like the "Première partie" to be written uppercase. What I understand so far : With babel in French, part names are by default written as "Première partie", "Deuxième partie", etc. (and not as "Partie 1", "Partie 2", etc.). The doc of the babel french package explains (p.38-39) : \StartBabelCommands*{french}{captions}[unicode, fontenc=TU EU1 EU2, charset=utf8] \SetString{\partnameord}{partie} \SetString{\partfirst}{Première} \SetString{\partsecond}{Deuxième} When PartNameFull=true (default), \part{} is printed in French as “Première partie’’ instead of “Partie I’’. As logic is prohibited inside \SetString, let’s hide the test about PartNameFull in \FB@partname. \SetStringLoop{ordinal#1}{% \frenchpartfirst,\frenchpartsecond,Troisième,Quatrième,% Cinquième,Sixième,Septième,Huitième,Neuvième,Dixième,Onzième,% Douzième,Treizième,Quatorzième,Quinzième,Seizième,% Dix-septième,Dix-huitième,Dix-neuvième,Vingtième} \AfterBabelCommands{% \NewDocumentCommand\FB@emptypart{}{\def\thepart{\unskip}}% \NewDocumentCommand\FB@partname{}{% \ifFBPartNameFull \csname ordinal\romannumeral\value{part}\endcsname\space \partnameord\FB@emptypart \else Partie% \fi}% } \SetString{\partname}{\FB@partname} \EndBabelCommands When setting the babel in another language, the part is expressed as "Parte 1", "Part 1", "Teil 1" and not as "Première partie" as in french-babel. As well, when setting PartNameFull = false, the part is written in French as "Partie 1". In those cases, the command \MakeUppercase{\partname} works well and I get the part name uppercase as wanted. For instance in English : So I guess the issue is in the composition of the part name when PartNameFull = true, but I couldn't figure where the problem is and how to solve it.

How can one create a figure like the following? Here is my attempt. I use the plot function with a combination of a parabola (for the general shape) and a sine wave (to create the "wiggles"). \documentclass[tikz,border=10pt]{standalone} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[>=latex] % Draw the wavy boundary % We use a parabola-like base: 0.2*x^2 - 2 % We add a small sine component for the "roughness" \draw[thick] plot [domain=-3.2:3.2, samples=100, smooth] (\x, {0.2*\x*\x - 2 + 0.08*sin(600*\x)}); % Draw Horizontal Axis (x, u) \draw[->] (-3.5,0) -- (3.5,0) node[below right] {$x, u$}; % Draw Vertical Axis (y, v) \draw[->] (0,-2.5) -- (0,0.8) node[right] {$y, v$}; % Origin label \node[below left] at (0,0) {$0$}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} My problem is that the boundary appears too 'wavy'. Also there is a small unecessary part above the x-axis. Any ideas to improve the figure?

I want to draw the Hopf fibration. In the Hopf fibration, each point on a sphere is mapped to a 4D spherical circle. We can elliptically (Mobiusly) transform the points on the 2sphere to produce beautiful geometric transformations when we stereographically project the 3sphere into R3. I think I could get it if I already had the map from the point to the circle on the 3sphere in R4. So that's my question. I want to know how I can obtain the stereographic projection of a spherical circle in R4 to R3, based on a point on a 2sphere in R3. Here is an MWE of a sphere: % Source - https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/735942 % Posted by Jasper Habicht, modified by community.

I'm playing with a book cover (a novel) with the title separated on three lines. The first part is left aligned to the page, the middle part is centered, and the last part is (should be) right aligned. Currently, my title page is almost right, but I'm experiencing an horizontal glitch that I don't understand. Here's the MWE code that shows the issue.

I'm not sure the code is properly done. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Here's a preview of what this code is doing (don't mind about the weird title. This is just for the the MWE): As you could see on the picture, the last part of the title ("WOORMS") have more space to its right that the left of the fist part ("WOORLDS"). Also, I'm not sure that the middle part ("of") is well centered, vertically and horizontally.

When polyglossia is loaded it seems that \AtBeginDocument fails to do its work. The following code \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{fontsetup} \usepackage{polyglossia} \setmainlanguage{english} \setotherlanguage{greek} \AtBeginDocument{\addfontfeatures{StylisticSet=6,StylisticSet=7}} \begin{document} θυμήθηκα \addfontfeatures{StylisticSet=6,StylisticSet=7} θυμήθηκα \end{document} produces So the \AtBeginDocument did not work (the thetas must be different as in the second line). Now if you comment out the lines of polyglossia, things work as expected, that is both lines produce the same output as in the second line of the picture above. What is wrong with the above code or with polyglossia?

I have my doubts about the wisdom of this… But with LuaLaTeX, babel is really great at switching between fonts and languages automatically without mark up. And the settings for the language can by included in an ini file. I wondered about using this feature in a document that is already multilinugual and uses babel so I can just insert emojis wherever without thinking.

I want to create a multi part parallelogram input block for a flowchart. There is no multi part trapezium shape that exist so for now I used a standard rectangular multi part shape with the xslant option to make it look like a parallelogram. I defined a style that I can easily reuse. The problem is that the text is also slanted, and if possible I would like it normal. Is there a way to apply xslant only to the shape and not to the text ? I tried creating a second node only for the text but the problem is that the paralellogram doesn't resize properly to fit the text. My MWE : \documentclass[class=article]{standalone} \usepackage[]{xcolor} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{shapes} \tikzstyle{io} = [rectangle split, rectangle split parts=2, xslant=0.4, draw, rectangle split part fill={blue!50,blue!20}, text centered, minimum width=4.25cm, minimum height=2cm] \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw (0,0) node[io,name = ,align = center]{Parameters\nodepart{two} $\alpha$, $\eta$}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Thanks for your help.

Is there a way to continue a path we draw using \draw with a plot, just as we do for instance also with arc or similar commands? In the example below I have a straight line, but I'd like the plot to append directly to that line, as indicated by the red dots. I can of course do that e.g. with plot[shift={(1,1)},...], but that means that I have to repeat that second coordinate in the path, which makes it again more cumbersome to use if we want to change something later (and the second straight line segment then points to the original endpoint without the shift). So this is more a question about "ergonomically" using this plot command inside other paths. E.g., I also like using the ++ syntax to precisely extend a path a certain distance horizontally, without having to repeat the previous y-coordinate, and I was wondering whether there is something similar we can do with the plot command inside such a path. \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{xcolor} \usepackage{pgfplots} \pgfplotsset{compat=1.17} \usetikzlibrary{calc} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[domain=0:4] \draw[black!10!white, dashed] (0, 0) grid (4, 2); \draw (0, 1) -- (1, 1) node[left] {} plot[domain=0:1, samples=100] function{sin(6.3*x)} node[right] {} -- ++(1, 0); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

My question is essentially the same as this question, but I'm asking again because the answer provided is not very resilient. In particular, it doesn't work for the kind of diagram I want. I want to use Tikz to draw a diagram with lots of nodes and arrows; essentially, a flowchart. The diagram should start with a single node which is centered on the page (in the MWE below, this is the "Hello there" box). If I try to just use the \centering command, the whole picture gets centered, which is not what I want. The answer I linked above suggests using the \useasboundingbox command. However, this doesn't seem to do what I want. Here is my minimal working example: \documentclass[a4paper, 11pt]{article} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} This is a line of text which has been written with no purpose other than to help illustrate how the figure below appears on a page. \begin{figure}[ht] \centering \begin{tikzpicture}[rect/.style={rectangle, draw=black, thin}] \node[rect] (box1) at (0,0) {Hello there}; % Location 1 \node[rect] (box2) at (5,-1) {Hi}; % Location 2 \end{tikzpicture} \end{figure} This is a line of text which has been written with no purpose other than to help illustrate how the figure above appears on a page. \end{document} The linked answer suggests using the command \useasboundingbox (box1.south east) rectangle (box1.north west);. If I put this command at location 2, then the bounding box includes both boxes "Hello there" and "Hi", and the box "Hello there" is not centered (see below). If I put this command at location 1, then the bounding box only includes the "Hello there" box; this centers it the way I want, but then the box "Hi" ends up overlapping with the text below (see below). How can I make the "Hello there" box be centered on the page?

I have some lua code that generates coordinates of many triangles/quadrilaterals I then want to draw/fill. See this answer about Penrose tilings for a concrete example. The drawing is actually done in TikZ via the luadraw package, but I am wondering if I can make the code faster by replacing TikZ with l3draw. Rewriting my actual code to remove TikZ and luadraw dependences (and use l3draw or any other drawing tool) is not a complex task, but will ask me some time due to my limited programming skills. So I would prefer to know in advance if this is a good idea or not. Apart possibly performance, is there any other reasons to use l3draw over pgf for this kind of task? Edit: I am not using TikZ/pgf for the rest of the document. Suggesting to use another environment (as picture) is a valid answer.

Consider this MWE: \documentclass{article} %\usepackage{luadraw} % Un-comment this line to get an error \usepackage[executable=python]{pyluatex} % May need to substitute: % \usepackage[executable=python3]{pyluatex} % \usepackage[executable=python.exe]{pyluatex} % (Or whatever works on your system) \begin{document} ok \end{document} The above compiles fine for me (using LuaLaTeX, with the --shell-escape option, from a TeXLive distribution in Windows 11 Enterprise). I get a document showing the text "ok" (without the quotes), as expected. However, if I uncomment the usepackage{luadraw} line, then I get an error: This is LuaHBTeX, Version 1.24.0 (TeX Live 2026) system commands enabled. (./test100.tex LaTeX2e <2025-11-01> L3 programming layer <2026-03-20> (c:/texlive/2026/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/article.cls Document Class: article 2025/01/22 v1.4n Standard LaTeX document class (c:/texlive/2026/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/size10.clo)) ... ...

Note: if I uncomment the \usepackage{luadraw} and put it after the \usepackage{pyluatex}, then it actually does compile without error. However, if I then replace the ok with something that uses pyluatex, like \py{'ok'}, then I get another error. So simply switching the loading order does not really solve the issue. Note: I recently (April 29, 2026) ran tlmgr update --all, and also re-installed a current version (version 2.8) of luadraw (using l3build install as described at https://github.com/pfradin/luadraw). Question: Is it possible to use both pyluatex and luadraw together in one document? Secondary question: Is this a bug, and if so, is there one package that is at fault? I would be happy to file a bug report somewhere if that is appropriate. Neither package seems to cause problems for me on its own; it is only when both are loaded that I am experiencing a problem.

I should create a drawing that illustrates this domain in 3D: T= \{(x, y, z) \in \mathbb{R}^3\colon x^2 +y^2\leq (z-9)^2, 0\leq z\leq 3 \}. It is a double cone with vertex at (0,0,3) if it were x^2 +y^2= (z-9)^2. I may have to change the scale but I don’t want the drawing to look worse. How can I colour the two-sloped cone part that satisfies the inequality x^2 +y^2\leq (z-9)^2? ...and then adding 0\leq z\leq 3? \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{patterns} \usepackage{tikz-3dplot} \usepackage[active,tightpage]{preview} \PreviewEnvironment{tikzpicture} \setlength\PreviewBorder{2pt} \begin{document} \tdplotsetmaincoords{60}{110} \begin{tikzpicture}[tdplot_main_coords,scale=0.9] \pgfmathsetmacro{\tini}{0.5*pi} \pgfmathsetmacro{\tfin}{1.85*pi} \pgfmathsetmacro{\tend}{2.5*pi} \def\h{10.2} \draw[thick,->] (0,0,0) -- (3.5,0,0) node[below left] {$x$}; \draw[dashed] (0,0,0) -- (-2.5,0,0); \draw[thick,->] (0,0,0) -- (0,3.5,0) node[right] {$y$}; \draw[dashed] (0,0,0) -- (0,-2.5,0); \draw[thick,->] (0,0,0) -- (0,0,12) node[above] {$z$}; \fill (0,0,9) circle (1pt); \node[right] at (0,0,9) {$(0,0,9)$}; \foreach \angulo in {0,2,...,358}{ \draw[cyan,very thick,opacity=0.12,rotate around z=\angulo] plot[domain=0:2,smooth,variable=\t] ({0},{\t},{9 + \t}); \draw[cyan,very thick,opacity=0.12,rotate around z=\angulo] plot[domain=0:2,smooth,variable=\t] ({0},{\t},{9 - \t}); } \foreach \z in {7.6,7.8,...,10.4}{ \pgfmathsetmacro{\r}{abs(\z-9)} \draw[cyan,thick,opacity=0.35] plot[domain=\tini:\tfin,smooth,variable=\t] ({\r*cos(\t r)},{\r*sin(\t r)},{\z}); } \foreach \z in {7.6,7.8,...,10.4}{ \pgfmathsetmacro{\r}{abs(\z-9)} \draw[cyan,thick,opacity=0.35] plot[domain=\tfin:\tend,smooth,variable=\t] ({\r*cos(\t r)},{\r*sin(\t r)},{\z}); } \pgfmathsetmacro{\r}{abs(\h-9)} \draw[red,very thick] plot[domain=0:360,smooth,variable=\t] ({\r*cos(\t)},{\r*sin(\t)},{\h}); \node[red, above right] at ({\r},0,\h) {$z=h$}; \fill[yellow,opacity=0.35] plot[domain=0:360,smooth,variable=\t] ({\r*cos(\t)},{\r*sin(\t)},0); \draw[red,thick] plot[domain=0:360,smooth,variable=\t] ({\r*cos(\t)},{\r*sin(\t)},0); \foreach \angle in {0,45,...,315}{ \pgfmathsetmacro{\x}{\r*cos(\angle)} \pgfmathsetmacro{\y}{\r*sin(\angle)} \draw[gray,dashed,opacity=0.5] (\x,\y,0) -- (\x,\y,\h); } \node[blue,right] at (0,0,11.5) {$x^2 + y^2 = (z-9)^2$}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

I want to implement given formatting requirements, however, I feel overwhelmed by the number of parameters and their dependencies, and, thus, I don't know which to begin with, as I feel like all of them need to be considered simultaniously. Furthermore, there are even more formatting requirements to fulfill, yet, the following should be the most essential ones, which is why I want to implement these first and condensed them in a table: I use the KOMA-script class scrreprt and would have used the parskip=full- option to seperate paragraphs from each other. If there is any info missing, please tell me and I'll provide it. And if some requirement seems odd, please also let me know. Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to check the respective sizes of beforeskip and afterskip? In theory, they should be correct as they were set manually, yet, when I compare the font size of chapter and the line spacing of section (they should be the same) measured with a ruler on a monitor (I know ... but it aint stupid if it works) they are not the same, or am I misunderstanding their theoritical (not code) definition here? If these (bonus) questions justify a new post, please let me know. Just thought they benefit from the overall context of the original question and are still somewhat linked to it. Thanks once again!

I have created a custom ⍟ symbol using TikZ, which works well, except that it ignores the colour of the surrounding text. MWE: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{scalerel} \newsavebox{\whitecircstar}\sbox{\whitecircstar}{\kern.075em\tikz{\node[draw, circle,line width=.36pt, inner sep=0]{$*$};}\kern.075em} \newcommand{\ostar}{\mathbin{\scalerel*{\usebox{\whitecircstar}}{\odot}}} \begin{document} \textcolor{red}{Before $\ostar$ After} \end{document} Output: How can I make \ostar the same colour as the surrounding text? My understanding was that . was a special symbol for the current colour in xcolor, but adding color=. to the node arguments had no effect.

My goal is to get a rectangle like the one below, but with text in the nested rectangles. Line types could be for example the following: I saw tikz: Multiple splits of rectangle, but it does not answer the question on the line types. Beyond that, I am a beginner using Tikz, and I'd like the answer explained, since the linked answer is complex to understand. Thanks!

I have an issue with the following code, kindly provided by egreg some time ago answer by egreg. It worked well, but I recently noticed an unwanted behavior. I am not sufficiently familiar with expl3 to fix it myself, nor do I fully understand how the code works. \ExplSyntaxOn \NewDocumentCommand{\pc}{m} % projective coordinates { \seq_set_split:NVn \l_tmpa_seq \c_colon_str { #1 } ( \seq_use:Nn \l_tmpa_seq { \mspace{1\medmuskip}{:}\mspace{1\medmuskip} } ) } \ExplSyntaxOff \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} \[ \begin{aligned} &(a:b:c) & & (1:-1:2) & &\qquad\verb|standard|\\ &\pc{a:b:c} & & \pc{1:-1:3} & &\qquad\verb|with \pc command|\\ &(a:-b:c) & & (1:-2:3) & &\qquad\verb|standard|\\ &\pc{a:-b:c}& & \pc{1:-2:3} & &\qquad\verb|with \pc command| \end{aligned} \] \[ \pc{a,b,c,d}\quad \pc{a;b;c;d,e,f:g:h:i,l} \] \end{document} Here is the output of the minimal working example: The actual issue appears when a coordinate other than the first is negative (for example \pc{a:-b:c} or \pc{1:-2:3}), where the spacing/output differs from the standard notation. As an aside, I also do not understand why commands such as \pc{a,b,c} or \pc{a;b;c:d} produce the output they do. Could someone explain what is happening here, and how to modify the macro so that it behaves correctly in all cases?

This is my current effort: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{pstricks} \usepackage{graphicx} \begin{document} \rotatebox{90}{% \begin{pspicture}(5,4) \psgrid \end{pspicture} } \end{document} How do I persuade gv (and my printer), to present it in landscape? Of course I have to play with the actual numbers. Eventually something like conventional graph paper on it's side.
