Update for pstricks

News - LaTeX Graphics, Figures & Tables

Written by Sven

Sunday, 01 February 2009 17:33

Herbert Voß, Denis Girou and Timothy Van Zandt have updated their pstricks package to version 1.27. The new version introduces several new macros. The pstricks package is an extensive collection of PostScript macros that is compatible with most TeX macro formats, including Plain TeX, LaTeX, AMS-TeX, and AMS-LaTeX.

Included are macros for colour, graphics, pie charts, rotation, trees and overlays. It has many special features, including a wide variety of graphics (picture drawing) macros, with a flexible interface and with colour support. There are macros for colouring or shading the cells of tables.

Oh no, visual TeX...I'm afarid. I downloaded and installed it. With the basic options it's not too large: 29.8MB approximately.Actually typing directly into the document and seeing it appear is a bit odd after using LaTeX for so long. I found the editor a bit confusing. It acts sort of like a word processor except that there is evidence that logical markup can be done.I don't like this program too much because for example, a beginner might be tempted to center some text and make it larger, instead of using the actual title commands. It might allow poorly made documents simply because it looks so much like a word processor.Also the LaTeX code which it generates is a bit messy (maybe I'm being a bit stringent here, but if someone else wants to do it by hand afterwards it might be frustrating).

Since you are already familiar with TikZ, use pgfplots to plot the graphs. It gives you more flexibility and features with plotting data and functions. Here is your reworked sample: \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{pgfplots} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{...

Re: Bibliography references cited on page xx incorrect
21/05/2013 01:13, mirou
Ok I found a good solution. The appendix pages shall be named Apdx # (or Anx if you are working on french for instance) and in the main file to define new page numbering you shall write this command before including each appendix file \pagenumbering{arabic}\renewcommand{\thepage}{Anx.\arabic{page}} Then you can i...

Re: \usepackage{multibib}, \newcites

It is not the good to use multibib. If you want two sections do something like this : \documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{article} \usepackage{multibib} \newcites{nu}{Peer reviewed article(s)} \newcites{th}{Thesis/Dissertation} \nociteth{*} \bibliographystyleth{plain} \bibliographyth{akincv} \nocitenu{*} \biblio...

Re: Too many unprocessed floats... \clearpage produces void

Sorry for the delayed reply; I hope you have found the answer, but if not: If you right-click on the "float:figure" box in LyX, it gives you a Settings... menu. If you check the "Page of floats" box, it will insert \begin{figure} instead of the default (no ) figure float. A paragraph break is jus...

I would like to prevent natbib from outputing url, doi, isbn information in the reference section. I copied pasted the natbib.bst from the miktex main folder to my project folder, renamed it, and removed lines related to format.url output/format.doi output/format.isbn output according to http://www.latex-community.or...
