Fadings and externalization lib

2009-11-11T10:16:12Z

Hi,
I'm trying to use the externalization library, but there seems to be a
problem when using transparaency or at least with the fadings library. I
suspect it's a problem with pdflatex.

-- SNIP --
\documentclass{minimal}

\usepackage{tikz}

\usetikzlibrary{external}
\tikzexternalize{minimal}

\usetikzlibrary{fadings}
\tikzfading[name=foo,inner color=transparent!0,outer color=transparent!100]

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\fill[red,path fading=foo] circle(5);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
-- SNAP --

This minimal example works fine without the externalization. Is there a
workaround for that?

Thanks,
Florian

Re: odd scaling behavoir

2009-11-11T10:02:56Z

Thanks Marco - it worked.

Sebastián, I was skeptical that your solution could work because the scaling problem I was seeing affected one node in the matrix, so changing the scaling of the matrix would affect all the nodes equally. When I tried your solution, this was essentially behavior and the problem remained. Thanks for your input though.

Best,

James

Positioning of tikz graphics in text

2009-11-11T08:48:28Z

Hello!

I would like to ask a question.
I have a general problem with positioning tikz-pictures on a page. I read large parts of the pgf-manual and made an internet research but it is not clear to me how I can influence where a tikz-picture is placed on the page/ in the text.

It seems to me that tikz calculates the space it needs for all the element in the tikz-environment and then puts them on the current position (aligned to the left upper or lower corner?). It is clear to me how to position inside the tikz envrionment, the question is how the whole tikz-picture is placed in the text.

The current problem I have is when I draw a bended line defined by (virtual) control points. Tikz seems to believe that those virtual control points are part of the image and seems to reserve space for them, which makes the tikz element much bigger then it is, resulting in awful white spaces.

Here the example, I would like to have the "fish" aligned with the text:

The code for the fish is:

\newcommand{\tikzfish}[4]{%
\begin{scope}[scale=#3]
\filldraw [draw=#4,fill=#4] (#1,#2) .. controls +(1,-1.5) and +(-1,2) .. +(3,-0.5) .. controls +(2,-2.5) and +(1,1.5) .. +(0,-1) -- cycle;
\filldraw [black] (#1+2.8,#2-0.2) circle (0.05);
\filldraw [black] (#1+2.8,#2-0.7) -- +(0.1,0);
\end{scope}
}%

And in the text it is inserted by:
...
\item A species has two alternative forms \parbox[b]{1cm}{\tikz \tikzfish{100}{-20}{0.2}{red};}
and \tikz \tikzfish{0}{0}{0.2}{blue};
...

The position of the first point (first two arguments of \tikzfish) seems useless. Position is set automatically.

Again, it seems that the control point at (2,-2.5) makes the problem. Do you have any idea how to solve it? Usually people insert tikz elements in text as \node but fishes are no defined options for nodes. I would also be very thankful for more elegant methods.

Thank you very much in advance for any useful comments,
Hannes

Re: odd scaling behavoir

2009-11-11T01:00:39Z

Hi,

I think scaling is applied twice because matrices are also nodes.
Overriding the scale option at the matrix level like can be a solution :

\tikzset{every node/.style={scale=0.75}}

...

\matrix [row sep=1mm,column sep=2mm, scale=1.0] {
}

odd scaling behavoir

2009-11-10T17:07:12Z

Hello,

I'm seeing some odd scaling behavior. My code is depicting a block diagram. One of the blocks, P, has a height that is dependent on the placement of the two blocks to its left, C_1 and C_2.

When scaling is set to 1.0 (as in the code below), everything works as expected. However, once I set the scaling \tikzset{every node/.style={scale=1.0}} to something other than 1.0 (say, 0.75), P becomes incorrectly scaled.

It's seems like the scaling is being applied twice. Maybe there's a better way to scale an entire picture (although this has worked beautifully int he past for me)? Any thoughts?

Thanks,

James

Split rectangles look weird.

2009-11-10T13:12:48Z

Hello,

I was trying to do some tricks with split rectangles and superimposing
some stuff
over them. As you can see when latex'ing the (slightly big) tex source
below this
works fine for the rectangle with the title "active". However, for the
inner rectangle
build by the same tricks everything looks skewed (it should look the same as the
outer one). Is there a way to fix this?

Regards,

Jay

Re: Drawing a line from one axis to another

Hello Leo,

This is the only solution I can think of. The same has been done in this
example :

I tried placing a named coordinate inside one axis and using it in
another. It failed.

Miraculously I can use the coordinate outside axis env. So I have
reached the following solution:

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[name=axis1]
\addplot coordinates {
(0.1,0.2)
(1.1,1.2)
};
\coordinate (A) at (rel axis cs:0.2,0.2);
\end{axis}
\begin{axis}[at={(axis1.east)},anchor=west,xshift=1cm]
\addplot coordinates {
(0.1,0.2)
(1.1,1.2)
};
\coordinate (B) at (rel axis cs:0.2,0.2);
\end{axis}
\draw (A) -- (B);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Drawing a line from one axis to another

2009-11-08T01:39:53Z

Hi there,

In the following example,

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[name=axis1]
\addplot coordinates {
(0.1,0.2)
(1.1,1.2)
};
\end{axis}
\begin{axis}[at={(axis1.east)},anchor=west,xshift=1cm]
\addplot coordinates {
(0.1,0.2)
(1.1,1.2)
};
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

How to draw a line between a point on the first axis to the second one?
Thank you very much.

Best wishes,
Leo

Re: \notation (gauge or progress bar)

2009-11-07T15:59:41Z

And...it should be

mark=between positions 0 and 1 step (1/(#2-1)) with {
\ifnum\pgfkeysvalueof{/pgf/decoration/mark info/sequence number}>#1\relax%
\pgfkeysvalueof{/tikz/remaining block code}
\else
\pgfkeysvalueof{/tikz/completed block code}
\fi
}

otherwise you get 1 too many blocks

Re: How to cut the bounding box of a flowchart in TikZ

2009-11-07T14:47:56Z

Or simply take a look at the externalize library which allows exporting a tikzpicture to a single pdf file cropped to the bounding box of the figure.
And then remember the path:
\path[use as bounding box] (0,0) rectangle (10,10);

to decide the bounding box of the picture.

Obviously I meant

mark=between positions 0 and 1 step (\somemacro) with {...}

tha is, `with' not `width'.

Re: \notation (gauge or progress bar)

Hi,

In answer to the original question, the reason why the original code
failed was because the step argument was a macro, for example:

mark=between positions 0 and 1 step \somemacro width {...}

Because the space after \somemacro is ignored by the TeX parser, the
TikZ parser chokes as it is expecting one. The solution here is to use
parenthesis as the expression is parsed by the mathematical engine:

mark=between positions 0 and 1 step (\somemacro) width {...}

Anyway, the markings decoration is powerful enough to do what was
required. In what is shown below everything is not paramaterised, but
it is simple to see how it could be.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{decorations.markings}

\begin{document}

\tikzset{
completed/.style args={#1/#2}{
decoration={
markings,
mark=between positions 0 and 1 step (1/#2) with {
\ifnum\pgfkeysvalueof{/pgf/decoration/mark info/sequence number}>#1\relax%
\pgfkeysvalueof{/tikz/remaining block code}
\else
\pgfkeysvalueof{/tikz/completed block code}
\fi
}
},
decorate
},
completed block code/.initial={
\draw circle (2pt);
},
remaining block code/.initial={
\draw (-2pt,-2pt) -- (2pt,2pt);
\draw (-2pt,2pt) -- (2pt,-2pt);
}
}

\begin{tikzpicture}
\path [completed=5/10] (0,0) -- (3,2);
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

Wow ! Fantastic ! Very nice piece of code, thanks for your efforts !
It might be a good addition to the Tikz example gallery (

\notation (gauge or progress bar)

2009-11-05T00:36:22Z

Hi all,
I'm experiencing a problem with some old code that used to work using
TeXlive 2008 but not any more using TeXlive 2009.
The idea is, that typing \notation{7/10} would produce, for instance, 7
blue rectangles followed with 3 grey rectangles, like a gauge or a progress bar.

Here's the error i'm getting using texlive 2009:

! Use of \pgf@lib@dec@parsemark doesn't match its definition.
<argument> b
etween positions 0 and 1 step \note@sep with { \node [inner
sep...
l.142 ...rlÃ© \notation{7/10}\hfill{}\vspace{0pt}}

The source code follows ; I'm not especially proud of it, so i'd be glad if
someone could give me a hand and even happier with a simpler solution to
achieve the same results.

Thanks very much in advance,
Nicolas

Coordinate tranformation matrix and arrows

2009-11-04T03:44:41Z

Hello all,

I'd like to know why the coordinate transformation matrix (cm) has no
effect on arrows. I need to use \pgflowlevelsynccm to have an effect on
them. Is there a workaround like [transform shape] for nodes?

Thanks in advance

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}[>=latex]
\draw[->] (0,0) -- (1,1);
\begin{scope}[cm={cos(30),sin(30),cos(70),sin(70),(0,0)}]
\draw[->,red] (0,0) -- (1,1);
\end{scope}
\begin{pgfscope}
\tikzset{cm={cos(30),sin(30),cos(70),sin(70),(0,0)}}
\pgflowlevelsynccm
\draw[->,green] (0,0) -- (1,1);
\end{pgfscope}

Fwd: Tracking small caps using microtype fails in tikz-boxes

Dear PGF developers,

I've investigated a bit further: the problem is that \textsc will
adjust
the interword spacing after the letterspaced text; this is done
\aftergroup. tikz in turn tries to expand anything that has been put
after the node group. When it hits something unknown and unexpandable,
like in the case of microtype a dimen assignment, it will enter into
the
loop. In fact, you get the same error without microtype:

\draw(0,0) -- node{\aftergroup\relax test}(1,1);

A possible solution on microtype's part would be to not adjust the
spacing when at the end of a tikz node. The only possible test I found
is \unless\tikz@expandcount=1000, which, however, will also be true
inside, not only after, a node. Unless the pgf team come up with
something better, I will add this to the next version.

Regards,

Style defined inside a foreach (or inside a TeX group)

2009-10-30T15:41:57Z

Hello,

The fellowing does not work because - I think - the style is defined
inside a TeX group.

\documentclass{minimal}

\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
\foreach \dummy in {0,...,2}{%
\tikzset{Style-\dummy/.style={red}}}
\draw[Style-1] (0,0) -- (1,1);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Do you have an idea for a workaround?

Thanks in advance

Sure. Just fill with the bg color (or just white, for instance).

3D representation of spherical coordinates

2009-10-30T03:59:44Z

Hello all,

For my machanics lecture, I'd like to be able to draw some 3D figures
and particularly something that looks like the figure shown here

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/SphericalCoordinates.html

In addition, I'd like to have arcs with arrows that show clearly the
angles: those portions of circle must look like a portion of ellipse in
3D, I think.

Of course, I can use some tricks to achieve this goal (by tricks, I mean
trying some values, see the result, correct the values, etc), but I'd
like to know if a cleaner way already exists in tikz (like the
undocumented 3D library and/or with coordinate transformations?). In
particular, I like to specify the points in a figure not by their
coordinates: I most likely define them by their "nature", ie middle of
AB, projection of M on AB, etc.

And a final question: extending the partway modifiers to 3D, is it a
huge task? I'd like to be able to
- project a point on a plane,
- draw a parallel line to an other,
- rotate in 3D
- etc.
Did anybody already think about that? Since this part of the tikz code
isn't much documented, extending it sounds a bit hard for me.

Thanks in advance

PS: I'm aware of the wonderful work done by Tomasz M. Trzeciak
(http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/map-projections/). In his code, I
don't understand the syntax of the coordinate matrix (line 118)

\tikzset{xyplane/.estyle={cm={cos(\angAz),sin(\angAz)*sin(\angEl),-sin(\angAz),

cos(\angAz)*sin(\angEl),(0,-\H)}}}

Would it be possible to extend it to a (theta,phi) plane (in spherical
coordinates)?

Thanks again.

Re: Concentric circles

2009-10-27T12:32:51Z

The astute among you will notice I got it rather wrong. Here is a
corrected version (note, it requires the latest CVS version).

\documentclass{minimal}

\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}

\def\a{20}

\begin{tikzpicture}[very thick]
\foreach \i in {1,-1}
{
\begin{scope}
\clip (0,0) -- (\a*\i:6cm) arc (\a*\i:160*\i:6cm) -- cycle;
\path [even odd rule, fill=gray!50, draw=black]
\foreach \r in {3,...,1} { circle [radius=\r cm]} ;
\draw circle [radius=4cm];

\end{scope}
\begin{scope}
\clip (0,0) -- (-\i*90+90-\a:6cm) arc
(-\i*90+90-\a:-\i*90+90+\a:6cm) -- cycle;
\path [even odd rule, fill=gray!50, draw=black]
\foreach \r in {4,...,1} { circle [radius=\r cm]} ;

\end{scope}
}
\draw (180-\a:6cm) -- (-\a:6cm) (180+\a:6cm) -- (\a:6cm);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Hi,

Could be parameterised a bit better, but something like this should do
the trick:

\documentclass{minimal}

\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}

\def\a{20}

\begin{tikzpicture}[very thick]
\foreach \i in {1,-1}
{
\begin{scope}
\clip (0,0) -- (\a*\i:6cm) arc (\a*\i:160*\i:6cm) -- cycle;
\path [even odd rule, fill=gray!50, draw=black]
\foreach \r in {4,...,1} { circle [radius=\r cm]} ;
\end{scope}
\begin{scope}
\clip (0,0) -- (-\i*90+90-\a:6cm) arc
(-\i*90+90-\a:-\i*90+90+\a:6cm) -- cycle;
\path [even odd rule, fill=gray!50, draw=black]
\foreach \r in {3,...,1} { circle [radius=\r cm]} ;
\end{scope}
}
\draw (180-\a:6cm) -- (-\a:6cm) (180+\a:6cm) -- (\a:6cm);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Hope this helps,

Mark

Concentric circles

All,

I'm looking for some ideas on how to draw the attached image using Tikz.

Any suggestions welcome.

David.

How can I tell which version LaTeX is using?

Hi there,

I tried compiling pgfplots manual from the git repo and this is the

enable the shell-escape feature? For pdflatex, this is '>> pdflatex

manually on the respective gnuplot file..

See the pgfplots package documentation for explanation.

It seems 'set terminal table', which was obsolete in 4.2.3, is no longer
supported by gnuplot 4.2.6.

Hi there,

I'm trying to replace pgf in texlive2008 with the latest CVS.

There seems to be two extra dirs (compared to the version from tl08):

pgf/generic/pgf/rendering
pgf/generic/pgf/testsuite

Are they needed to run pgf? Thanks.
