Hi I am trying to represent a stem and leaf plot in a tabular environment in LaTeX using the following: \begin{table}[htbp] \centering \caption{Stem Plot of sit ups, Key: $1 | 1= 1.1$} \begin{tabular}{r|l@{\hspace{4 pt}}l@{\hspace{4 pt}}l@{\hspace{4 pt}}l@{\hspace{4 pt}}l@{\hspace{4 pt}}l@{\hspace{4 pt}}l@{\hspace{4 pt}}l@{\hsp...
I want to color hline; e.g., \hline[color=red,width=2mm,dashed] or something. Below is a feeble attempt which fails. not I put textcolor gray around {|} to try and make it gray. Ideally, I want it gray and dashed. Also note textcolor gray around the {\hline} tag. Any help would be appreciated using latex syntax. Are there attribute...
How do I create two lstlisting environments that each have its own counter? If I use for example \lstnewenvironment{algorithm}[2]{ \renewcommand\lstlistingname{Algorithm} \lstset{ ... } } {} \lstnewenvironment{program}[2]{ \renewcommand\lstlistingname{Program} \lstset{ ... } } {} And then \begin{algorithm}{Algorith...
I'm new to LaTeX and BibTeX, so excuse my ignorance. I have the following entry: @Article{Hart, author = {P.E. Hart, N.J. Nilsson, B.

Hello all, I am hoping to use PyQt to produce an application that will display an equation entered by the user. I had considered matplotlib, but this seems like overkill as I would only be using it to render the latex. I need to use SymPy anyway, so I was hoping there would be a way to use it to do the rendering also, preferably produc...

Hello, I am writing a program (in C, but I suppose that's not so relevant) in connection with a little documentary material in LaTeX. I want the documentary material to contain code snippets from my original code. In order to include source code and keep it up to date, I do the following in my document: \lstinputlisting[firstline=200,...
I always like my figures to be placed in between text as opposed to the top or bottom of the page. I also like to talk about the figure before it is shown. So I am trying to have something like this: By looking at Figure~\ref{fig:VCO} you can see that blah blah blah. \begin{figure}[h] \caption{VCO test circuit}\label{fig:VCO} \begin{ce...
I have scons set up to run pdflatex nicely on my latex documents and stick the results in an output folder for me. However, I haven't been able to determine whether or not I can get it to use latex2rtf on my documents at the same time as well. Is there any way to have scons do this automatically? Or is it going to have to be something ...

Hi: I need a macro that extracts pairs of number from a string that looks like this: n1-m1,n2-m2,n3-m3,n4-m4 (it could be longer) where n1,m1,n2,m2,... are numbers from 0 - 15. How can I go about getting the pairs (n1,m1), and (n2,m2), (n3,m3), etc inside my macro? I will need to use each pair once, after which I can, if needed,...
I think this question is novel. Here is the problem I have. I have a relatively short piece of text associated with a lot of figures and a table. I want floats to appear on pages just for floats but in the order I specify. I have set all of the table and figure parameters to [hp] and placed them in the order I want them to appear in the ...
I use some .sty-files that are not part of texlive and want to have them in a subdirectory of the folder with my main.tex. I used the following line to load the package: \usepackage{sty/prettythesis} This works, but compiling the main.tex with xelatex and using rubber gives me a warning: sty/prettythesis.sty: You have requested packa...
Say I want to construct a circulant graph in TikZ, with a variable number of nodes, labelled v0, v1, ..., v_n-1 for some n of my choice (say, 5). I'd like to be able to use the \foreach command in TikZ to iteratively (1) define the nodes, and (2) connect the nodes. I'd like to be able to connect v_i to v_(i+1) and v_i to v_{i+2}, say. ...
I'm using PDFLaTeX to create forms and ran into a problem with the \TextField macro that defines input fields: \TextField[width=4in,name=sample]{} The resulting field is a little wider than 4 inches and I don't understand why. The following example illustrates the problem by resulting in an overfull hbox which gets highlighted because...
