Gallery — Dynamic Figures

This package provides an essential feature to LaTeX that has been missing for too long. It adds a coffee stain to your documents. A lot of time can be saved by printing stains directly on the page rather than adding it manually. You can choose from four different stain types.

This is a template that can be used to draw trees for LGCS 105 at Pomona College, using qtree and tree-dvips.

An example of the graphviz package, which uses dot in the background to draw graphs. Add \usepackage[pdf]{graphicx} to get HTML-like labels working.

This is my CV as an example for those interested. Comments on the coding used is very welcomed.

Visualization of chemical experiment data with Tufte style axes, which demonstrates the ability of LaTeX to dynamically generate figures from raw data files. This plot uses two data files and does some calculations in pgfplots to standardise them. It shows 'scan rate normalised cyclic voltammograms', and could more generally be used for 'cyclic voltammetry' results. Original source: http://pgfplots.net/tikz/examples/cyclic-voltammetry/

This example shows how to get asymptote 3D drawings working on Overleaf. All the drawings in this example were taken from the Asymptote documentation. The important bit is to add settings.render=0, to get around the problem of rendering on headless displays (i.e. the compile servers doesn't have a graphics card/display!) If you download the PDF and open it in Adobe Reader, you'll get interactive views of the 3D objects!

This is an example for re-creating gnuplot charts with tikz on LaTeX, made possible by adding gnuplot-lua-tikz.sty and gnuplot-lua-tikz-common.tex to your project. (These files can be generated by invoking lua gnuplot-tikz.lua style where gnuplot-tikz.lua can be found in $GNUPLOT/lua/gnuplot-tikz.lua. (This will work with all engines, not just LuaLaTeX!)

This example demonstrates how the chemnum package can be used to automatically number compounds in reaction schemes created with ChemDraw (saved as .eps files). While the chemstyle/chemscheme package can also be used, its author recommends the use of chemnum as it's deemed to be clearer. Ideally, the ChemDraw-generated .eps files should contain "TMP1", "TMP2" etc as temporary markers, which will then be replaced with automatically incrementing compound counters using the \replacecmpd command. Switch the LaTeX engine to LaTeX+dvipdf from the project's Settings icon (the gear icon) so that the replacement actually takes place.
