In order to avoid manually editing all my paths in case I change the location of my pictures some time in the future, I would like to define paths as variables.
I define the path for my pictures with the command \def \personal_code {path/} - it works.
But if I have different folders for my pictures, one for pictures taken in 2019, another for pictures taken in 2020, and I would like to insert them in my work using includegraphics, can I use a second \def command?
\def \personal_code1 {path1/}
\def \personal_code2 {path2/}
And then use includegraphics:
\sublloat{\includegraphics{\personal_code1 /image2019}}
\subfloat{\includegraphics{\personal_code2 /image2020}}
MWE:
\documentclass{article}
\def \LJpath19 {/Volumes/X/Dados/teste Latex/meas 2019/}
%\def \LJpath20 {/Volumes/X/Dados/teste Latex/meas 2020/}
\begin{document}
\section{Individual graphs}
\begin{figure}[!hbtp]
\subfloat[PRT03]{\includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{"\LJpath19 /22 NFA511 191219 PRT02 meas".jpg}}
\hspace{0.5cm}
\subfloat[PRT04]{\includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{"\LJpath19 /22 NFA511 191219 PRT02 meas".jpg}}
\hspace{0.5cm}
%\subfloat[PRT05]{\includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{"\LJpath20 /b05 NFA711 200203 PRT07".jpg}}
\hspace{0.5cm}
\end{figure}

This question has already been answered once (wrap LaTeX command in environment), yet I still struggle to make my own rather simple new environment command work.
What I wanted to do is to convert the following LaTex block, which shows the output of some code, into a command I can reuse.
\fbox{\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\texttt{
>> CODE OUTPUT
\end{minipage}}
It is clear that in order to make a new environment command that replicates what I do above, I will have to make use of wrappers. (Because of the \fbox and the \texttt command.)
I would like to do this without having to download yet another package, or going into the secret realms of LaTex with some predefined \dir command that is only there to do the same job twice.
Checking the link from before, it seems that a productive solution is to use \bgroup and \egroup. I would therefore write something like this:
\newenvironment{CodeOutput}
{\fbox\bgroup\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}\texttt\bgroup}
{\egroup\end{minipage}\egroup}
Yet this will still not work. (On Overleaf at least.) It would be great if there was a straightforward way of making commands like these. Thanks for any useful suggestions!
If want to write a command that does what you're after, then the following would work:
\newcommand{\mycmd}[1]{%
\fbox{%
\begin{minipage}{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}
\ttfamily #1
\end{minipage}%
}%
}
The idea here works because the <arg>ument supplied to \mycmd{<arg>} is replaced by #1 in its entirety. If you want want to rewrite this as an environment, it's a little more difficult, purely because of \fbox. \fbox is doesn't have an environment-form equivalent the same way \texttt has \ttfamily (which is technically a font switch). There is a quick way around it provided by environ - it allows you to capture the contents of an environment in a macro \BODY:
\usepackage{environ}
\NewEnviron{myenvA}{%
\fbox{%
\begin{minipage}{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}
\ttfamily \BODY
\end{minipage}%
}%
}
However, you do have the option by capturing the content of an environment inside a box and then setting the box inside an \fbox:
\newsavebox{\codebox}% To store the content of myenvB
\newenvironment{myenvB}{%
\begin{lrbox}{\codebox}%
\ttfamily\ignorespaces
}{%
\end{lrbox}%
\fbox{\begin{minipage}{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}
\usebox{\codebox}%
\end{minipage}}%
}
The following minimal example shows all the above cases:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{environ}
\newcommand{\mycmd}[1]{%
\fbox{%
\begin{minipage}{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}
\ttfamily #1
\end{minipage}%
}%
}
\NewEnviron{myenvA}{%
\fbox{%
\begin{minipage}{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}
\ttfamily \BODY
\end{minipage}%
}%
}
\newsavebox{\codebox}
\newenvironment{myenvB}{%
\begin{lrbox}{\codebox}%
\ttfamily\ignorespaces
}{%
\end{lrbox}%
\fbox{\begin{minipage}{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}
\usebox{\codebox}%
\end{minipage}}%
}
\begin{document}
\noindent
\fbox{\begin{minipage}{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}
\ttfamily SoMe CoDe HeRe
\end{minipage}}
\bigskip
\noindent
\mycmd{SoMe CoDe HeRe}
\bigskip
\noindent
\begin{myenvA}
SoMe CoDe HeRe
\end{myenvA}
\bigskip
\begin{lrbox}{\codebox}
\ttfamily SoMe CoDe HeRe
\end{lrbox}
\noindent
\fbox{\begin{minipage}{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}
\usebox{\codebox}
\end{minipage}}
\bigskip
\noindent
\begin{myenvB}

How do I combine \afterpage and \endfloat to easily switch between having figures and tables at the end of the document or having them in the text?
I want to easily choose between my figures at the end of the document and my figures in the text. Because of that, sometimes I will use \afterpage package and other times I will use \endfloat would be nice to combine both.
Right now, all the times I try to run \endfloat when I have a clear page, I get the following message:
Argument of \efloat#xfloat has an extra }.
I already tried to include after page in the DeclareDelayedFloatFlavor, something like:
\DeclareDelayedFloatFlavor{afterpage}{figure}
It did not work.
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{afterpage}
% ---------------------
%figures at the end
% ---------------------
\usepackage[nolists]{endfloat}
% force landscape at the end
\begin{document}
{\afterpage{
\begin{figure}
\end{figure}
}
\end{document}
If you want to switch between having figures within the text and at the end, I suggest to only use the endfloat package. Commenting or commenting it's optional argument disable will allow you to quickly alternate between figures at the end or in the text.
I'm not entirely certain what the purpose of afterpage was in your example, but if you used it to move the figure to a separate page, this can conveniently be done with the p floating specifier.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[
disable
]{endfloat}
\begin{document}
test
\begin{figure}[p]
xxx
\caption{caption}
\end{figure}
test

Hi I would like to create some sort of my own table of content in beamer presentation where there will be all parts with all sections listed.
To this moment I came up with this solution to list all \tableofcontents in one slide
\begin{frame}
\begin{multicols}{2}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{1}
\foreach\x in {1,...,\totvalue{part}}{%
\vskip 0.4cm
\tableofcontents[part=\x]%
}%
\setcounter{tocdepth}{2}
\end{multicols}
\end{frame}
Problem here is that I get section of each part but there is not partname listed.
Is there way how to access name of part by index \x of for-cycle? Something like \insertpart[\x]?
Ok with help of one co-student of mine I came up with solution to my problem.
\makeatletter
\AtBeginPart{
\write\#auxout{%
\noexpand\expandafter\noexpand\gdef\noexpand\csname
part\thepart name\noexpand\endcsname{\beamer#partname}}
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\frame{\maketitle}
\section*{Outline}
\begin{frame}{Outline of Presentation}
\begin{multicols}{2}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{1}
\foreach\x in {1,...,\totvalue{part}}{%
\medskip\expandafter\let\expandafter\partname
\csname part\x name\endcsname
\penalty-999
\textit{\partname}
\medskip
{\let\vfill=\relax\tableofcontents[part=\x]}\vfill
\penalty-999
}%
\setcounter{tocdepth}{2}
\end{multicols}
\end{frame}
Unfortunately I cannot write down deep description of how exactly it works but basically it takes names of parts during first run of pdflatex and saves them into .aux file. Then during second run of pdflatex it will correctly print them out. Then negative penalty is added to each block so partname is not splitted out of rest of part-toc.
So two runs of pdflatex are needed to work it correctly but it should work quite nicely. I managed to create table of content with 4 parts.

Hopefully it will help someone.
I am preparing a presentation in beamer with gradientframe package. But it's giving me an error.
How can I write the name of the command in \frame?
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Introduction}
The gradientframe package provides a command, \gradientframe for simple and discreet
rectangular grayscale gradient frames around objects, such as figures or tables, to set
them apart from the surrounding text.
\end{frame}
As in several answers to the linked question (thanks #Bas Swinckels), the way advised to insert a backslash \ in the output is to use \textbackslash in the source.
Then, you can use (or not) just \texttt{} (rather than verbatim or else) to mark command names.
Finally, if you have to mention these command name(s) many times in your slides, you may want to put the above two in a newcommand:
\documentclass{beamer}
\newcommand{\mycomm}[1]{\texttt{\textbackslash #1}}
%\newcommand{\commgf}{\texttt{\textbackslash gradientframe}}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Introduction}
... a command, \textbackslash gradientframe for simple ...
or:
... a command, \texttt{\textbackslash gradientframe} for simple ...
or, better:
... a command, \mycomm{gradientframe} for simple ...
%... a command, \commgf{} for simple ...
\end{frame}
\end{document}
This code gives you:
This stems out of How can one number paragraphs in LaTeX?, which I asked earlier today:
Running with Brent.Longborough's suggestion for how to number paragraphs in a document:
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{5}
...
\paragraph{If we want to}
\paragraph{do something}
This results in LaTeX producing something likeso:
0.0.0.1 If we want to
0.0.0.2 do something
How can one change the numbering scheme of \paragraph{} to produce something like:
1. If we want to
2. do something
or alternatively
A. If we want to
B. do something
Thank you.
To change the number referenced when referring to paragraphs, you want to change \theparagraph. Here's an example:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{5}
\renewcommand\theparagraph{\roman{paragraph}}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\paragraph{foo} \lipsum[1]
\paragraph{bar} \lipsum[2]
\end{document}
Instead of \roman you can also use \Roman, \arabic, \alph, \Alph. Although if you have lots of paragraphs you'll want to use the alphalph package and use \alphalph to get more than 26 paragraphs.
Note that \paragraph takes an argument for the "paragraph title". If you never want that, you'll probably want to define your own command to simplify things:
\newcommand\PARA{\paragraph{}}
You'll also probably want to remove the way that paragraphs are numbered "within" sections; i.e., they reset from "1" for every new section. You can get around this with something like
\usepackage{remreset}
\makeatletter
\#removefromreset{paragraph}{section}
\makeatother
