I am using LaTeX for research with hexagonal chains and would like to know some ways to create the a horizontal hexagonal chain. So far I only have some going vertically; I have used code I received on here under a previous question but haven't figured out how to rotate the vertical chain of hexagons to make it horizontal.
Is it possible to use chemfig or tikz to create a chain similar to either of these?
Here is an example with the chemfig package
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{chemfig}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\chemfig{*6(--*6(--*6(-----)---)----)}
\caption{Chain of 3 hexagons}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
And the corresponding output

Looking for the best way to fit a figure tightly that spans the full height of a page. I'm writing a document about the ionosphere and want to include this image along the side: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermosphere#/media/File:EarthAtmosphereBig.jpg
Seems like a job for minipage but I can't quite figure out a good solution. Any tips?
You can achieve this by placing two minipages, one with a larger width than the other, side-by-side.
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx} %demo option should be omitted in real document
\usepackage{lipsum} %for random text, should be omitted in real document
%--------%Shows page layout, also should be omitted in real document.
\usepackage{showframe}
\renewcommand\ShowFrameLinethickness{0.15pt}
\renewcommand*\ShowFrameColor{\color{red}}
%--------%Idea from Zarko of TEX.SE
\begin{document}
\begin{minipage}{0.8\textwidth}
\lipsum[1-3]
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}[r]{0.2\textwidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.2\textwidth, height=\textheight]{demo.png}
\end{minipage}
\end{document}

I am trying to write a CV in Latex, but now I am stuck. Since I want to learn Latex, I don't really want to just use a template.
I am thinking about one page divided in to columns/minipages:
Left column: an image + contact information etc.
Right Column: Education, experience, volunteer work etc.
Tried minipages and columns, but the image is destroying the whole format... Tried to use parts from templates, which worked fine, i.e. secsty etc. See example under.
Not a specific question, but hope someone has a good idea for how to make something out of this idea :)
Example:
%Preamble
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{a4paper, total={170mm,257mm}, left=10mm, top=10mm}
\pagestyle{empty}
%%% Custom sectioning (sectsty package)
\usepackage{sectsty}
\sectionfont{\usefont{OT1}{phv}{m}{n}\sectionrule{0pt}{0pt}{-10pt}{1pt}}
\subsectionfont{\usefont{OT1}{phv}{m}{n}}
%Document
\begin{document}
\begin{minipage}[250mm]{0.4\linewidth}
\includegraphics{image.png}
Date of birth:
Phone:
Email:
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}[250mm]{0.65\linewidth}
\part*{Name}
\section*{EDUCATION}
\section*{EXPERIENCE}
\end{minipage}
\end{document}
It is great to see that you don't simply copy one of the existing templates, but want to learn some latex instead.
Some comments about your code:
if you want the minipages besides each other to emulate columns, their combined sum has to be equal or smaller than the linewidth. In your example 0.4+0.65= 1.05, so they won't fit in one line. In fact I would make them a bit smaller and add a \hfill between to get a bit of space between them
to make sure each minipage is only as wide as you specified, I would add the [width=\linewidth] option to the image. This will automatically scale the image correctly
if you want both minipages in one line, don't leave an empty line between them. In latex and empty line in the source code is interpreted as a paragraph break, thus forcing your second minipage in a new line
To get a better vertical alignment of the image, I would remove the optional height argument from the minipage and let tex determine how high your minipages are and add the options [T] and [b] respectively to determine the vertical alignment
this is more a design question: at the moment your page geometry is highly asymmetric. You can visualise this by adding showframe to your geometry options, e.g. \geometry{a4paper, total={170mm,257mm}, left=10mm, top=10mm,showframe}. Are you sure this is a good choice for a CV?

I have two images next to each other. The source of these images should be in the footnotes.
So far I got this:
\begin{figure}[h!]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=6.5cm]{images/Oculus_Rift.jpg}
\includegraphics[width=6.5cm]{images/Oculus_Rift_Controller.jpg}
\caption[Oculus Rift]{Oculus Rift\footnotemark (links) und Oculus Touch\footnotemark (rechts)}
\label{img:oculusrift}
\end{figure}
\footnotetext{https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Oculus-Rift-CV1-Headset-Front.jpg}
\footnotetext{https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Oculus-Rift-Touch-Controllers-Pair.jpg}
However the footnote numbers are not correct
As you can see there are two 3s instead of one 2 and one 3.
What should I do to solve this?
This is a follow-up to a question I posted earlier (How to center LaTeX xtable output in full text width).
I realize that my MWE from this previous post was incomplete. In an effort to make it as minimal of an example as possible, I did leave out something that ended up conflicting. Hence, here, I am posting the issue more fully.
I am using tufte-handout (http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/tufte-latex/sample-handout.pdf) to create a small report in latex. I have a file code.Rnw that I knit into code.tex. Below is my code.Rnw:
\documentclass[12pt,english,nohyper]{tufte-handout}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[space]{grffile}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{pgffor}
\usepackage{calc}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{microtype}
\usepackage{tabularx}
%\usepackage{floatrow}
\begin{document}
<<include=FALSE>>=
library(ggplot2)
library(xtable)
#
\begin{fullwidth}
\makeatletter\setlength\hsize{\#tufte#fullwidth}\makeatother
<<echo=FALSE,results='asis'>>=
x.big <- xtable(mtcars[1:10,1:4], label ='tab:mtcars',caption ='This is the mtcar dataset head.',align = c("rr|lr|r"))
print(x.big, tabular.environment ='longtable', floating = FALSE, include.rownames=FALSE)
#
\end{fullwidth}
<<echo=FALSE,results='asis'>>=
fnameO <<- "plot.pdf"
pdf(paste0("./",fnameO),width=6,height=7)
print(qplot(hp, mpg, data=mtcars, main="Scatterplots of MPG vs. Horsepower", xlab="Horsepower", ylab="Miles per Gallon"))
{dev.off();invisible()}
#
\begin{fullwidth}
\makeatletter\setlength\hsize{\#tufte#fullwidth}\makeatother
\begin{figure}[!ht]
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{\Sexpr{fnameO}}
\caption{This is a plot of the mtcars dataset from R. It compares the horsepower with the miles per gallon. It uses the qplot function from ggplot2.}
\label{fig:LearningObj_summary}
\end{figure}
\end{fullwidth}
\end{document}
This is the output:
I am desiring to have both the table and the figure centered (across the whole page). As shown above, I am successfully able to get the table centered (thanks to advice from a user in my previous post).
However, I am unable to get the figure centered across the whole page with the caption below it. Instead, likely due to the document class I am using (tufte-handout), the figure itself is in the non-margin area, and its caption is in the margin area.
For starters, I uncommented the \usepackage{floatrow} in the code, in an attempt to force the figure caption to be below the figure instead of to the right of it. This lead to an output as such (where both the table and figure are undesirably on the left side instead of centered, but the figure caption is indeed below the figure):
My question is: How can I center both the table and figure (with the caption below it), so that the output would look more like this?:
Thank you.
As a crude hack, you could simply modify the figure environment of your MWE to use the original \caption command:
\begin{fullwidth}
\begin{figure}[!ht]
\makeatletter\setlength\hsize{\#tufte#fullwidth}\setlength\linewidth{\#tufte#fullwidth}\let\caption\#tufte#orig#caption\makeatother
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{\Sexpr{fnameO}}
\caption{This is a plot of the mtcars dataset from R. It compares the horsepower with the miles per gallon. It uses the qplot function from ggplot2.}
\label{fig:LearningObj_summary}
\end{figure}
\end{fullwidth}
...or, for a bit smaller figure that is centered on the page:
\begin{fullwidth}
\begin{figure}[!ht]
\makeatletter\setlength\hsize{\#tufte#fullwidth}\setlength\linewidth{\#tufte#fullwidth}\let\caption\#tufte#orig#caption\makeatother
\centering
\includegraphics[width=.4\linewidth]{\Sexpr{fnameO}}
\caption{This is a plot of the mtcars dataset from R.}
\label{fig:LearningObj_summary}
\end{figure}
\end{fullwidth}
If you find the original \caption command lacking and if none(!) of the floats in your document need to use tufte captions you can overwrite the \caption command using something like \usepackage[labelfont=bf,compatibility=false]{caption}.
I want to have the picture exactly in a specific position in my text. I use the commands below
\begin{enumerate}
\item T.D. Lee(1957 Physics Nobel Laureate)
\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{TdLee.eps}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
I have many figures like this. What happens is that I see figures and items in different order. Can you let me know which latex command i should use in order to have the picture under or right to the each item?
Thanks
Kurt
To work with the standard float system, you might try the h positioner (as mentioned in another answer) but with the ! modifier as in
\begin{figure}[h!]
...
\end{figure}
There is even another H positioner, like h! but tries harder. It needs the package float
\usepackage{float}
...
\begin{figure}[H]
...
\end{figure}
but even that doesn't work many times. However since you are doing this in a list, trying to use a float might not be the best for you.
You might try to create a minipage to house the figure. Or perhaps the way to do what you want might be to omit the figure environment all together but keep the center one if you want it.
If you know exactly where you want the figure, don't use a float (that's what the "figure" environment is)...floats are there to.....wait for it.....float!
So if you know exactly where you want your figure, simply use \includegraphics:
\begin{enumerate}
\item T.D. Lee(1957 Physics Nobel Laureate)
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{TdLee.eps}
\end{center}
...
\end{enumerate}
You can also redefine the enumerate environment so that you do not have to surround each picture with a \begin{center}...\end{center} environment, but if you are interested in how to do that, I'll leave it for a separate question. (And unapologetically suggest that you ask it on the TeX Stack Exchange, where no TeX-related question is too small.)
Try the h placement specifier. From here:
\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{TdLee.eps}
\end{figure}
It does not guarantee perfect placement, but it tries.
