I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask. Please point me to the right direction if it isn't!
I found a LaTeX resume template here:
https://github.com/opensorceror/Data-Engineer-Resume-LaTeX
Although the Skills bubbles and Interests bars are being created programmatically, the Languages ring chart looks like a simple .png image that has been inserted into the document.
Is it possible to create a replica of this chart programmatically in LaTeX? A simple code example would be appreciated!
Note: The reason I wish to create it programmatically is because employers may use automatic parsers to identify skills keywords in a resume, and such keywords would be impossible to extract from a .png image.

Has anyone managed to pin down a method for creating cards in Sketch which will play well with adaptive height text overrides? For example, a simple card with a thumbnail, title and excerpt might have a title which is 1, 2 or 3 lines and an excerpt which is anything between 6 and 12+ lines. I'd like to know how to position the excerpt relative to the new height of the title but it seems not to interpret the new three-line height, only it's original height in the symbol. See attached for illustration.
Methods that I've tried include pinning the excerpt to the bottom but that doesn't play well with the variable length of the excerpt and grouping the title and the thumbnail. The only working method that I have is creating three instances of the symbol called post-title-one-line, post-title-two-line, post-title-three-line – which seems clunky.
Looking for any ideas or direction to a solution.
My recommendation is to use the Auto-Layout by Anima plugin. Follow the documentation and examples provided to learn how to use it. Here's an example solution:

My question in short is: How can you create a boxed text with a label that can be referenced?
Background: I am generating LaTeX output from a Markdown document to be included in a larger LaTeX document. I would like to describe the steps of an algorithm as boxed text with a label that can be referenced. I know how to create a labeled figure and how to create boxed text, but I haven't been able to figure out how to combine the two, i.e. how to label the boxed text as if it was a figure, or how to include the text in a figure (other than converting it to an image, which I'd like to avoid).
An initial "solution": Just putting a the box and an empty figure next to each other (see below) kind of works, except that nothing ensures that the figure label won't float away from the box as I work on the document, since figures are floating objects while text boxes are part of the text, and the two are handled differently by LaTeX. Moreover, you may need to use LaTeX vertical space commands to make it look reasonably good, but it is hard to get it perfect. Is there a simple solution? Thanks!
P.S. I know that I could just switch to LaTeX and figure out a solution there, but here I am looking for a solution in Markdown, possibly making use of some embedded LaTeX commands.
You can see the algorithm in Figure \ref{methods:estimating}.
\fbox{\parbox{5in}{
1. Initialize $b_r=0$ for $r=1..R$ \\
2. For each item $i, i=1..U$, calculate ... \\
3. Re-estimate ... \\
4. Proceed to Step 2 until it converges.
}}
![Estimating ... \label{methods:estimating}]()
It is rendered like this:
You can use one of the packages for writing algorithms. See https://www.sharelatex.com/learn/algorithms.
I'm attempting to draw a richly laid out text view on iPhone that features:
Custom paragraph spacing (kCTParagraphStyleSpecifierParagraphSpacing)
Custom paragraph first-line indentation (kCTParagraphStyleSpecifierFirstLineHeadIndent)
Justified alignment (kCTParagraphStyleSpecifierAlignment)
Finally, a drop cap on my first paragraph
I'm using OHAttributedLabel. The first three points I achieved without much trouble by just setting some paragraph style attributes on my NSAttributedString.
The drop cap I managed to implement by hacking OHAttributedLabel:
Cut out a rectangular region out of the main paragraph's CGMutablePathRef the size of the drop cap by adding an extra CGPathAddRect, as detailed in this excellent blog post.
Drawing the large character in this region with an extra CTFrameDraw call.
My problem: The paragraph styles and the custom text path are incompatible. When I cut a rectangular chunk out of the main text's path, all the paragraph styles seem to get thrown away.
Does anyone know a way to make them work together? Or can anyone think of another way to implement drop caps? (Short of using a UIWebView + CSS, which I'd rather not have the overhead of!)
Thanks!
You can use straight Core Text to achieve this, in the following post I explain the use of 2 framesetters to lay out text with drop caps in a UIView. In the code example (there's also a link to a github repo) you'll be able to see where the paragraph styles are created and applied to the main text view.

I need to make a journal, and I want to have a "recommended books" on the side of the page within the last page of the journal, but I couldn't find anything that would give me this result. I'm already using multicols package for the content and i cant see how a graphicx package would help me out.
I want to have a nice blue background with rounded corners too, help is welcome ^^.
If you are already using multicol, just make it another column and draw a box around it with the usual techniques. Maybe not the fanciest solution, but it seems like it should work. Use \newcolumn in the multicol environment to put the sidebar in its own column. For your fancy boxes, try the fancybox package. With it, you can draw boxes with rounded corners.
On the other hand, this guy gets super fancy and uses the TikZ package to get colors and all sorts of stuff.
I am trying to write a report and stuck with a wide figure. My document type is PRL using revtex4.1 with two columns. I have a wide figure which consists of 8 subfigures. I am trying to place it bottom of a page but it insists to go next page. Here is code for my wide figure:
\begin{figure*}
\centering
\subfloat[s1]{\label{fig:s1}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s1.png}}\qquad
\subfloat[s2]{\label{fig:s2}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s2.png}}\qquad
\subfloat[s3]{\label{fig:s3}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s3.png}}\qquad
\subfloat[s4]{\label{fig:s4}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s4.png}}\\
\subfloat[s5]{\label{fig:s5}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s5.png}}\qquad
\subfloat[s6]{\label{fig:s6}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s6.png}}\qquad
\subfloat[s7]{\label{fig:s7}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s7.png}}\qquad
\subfloat[s8]{\label{fig:s8}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s8.png}}
\caption{\label{fig:s}Caption}
\end{figure*}
Try also
\begin{figure*}[!hb]
If your figure is too wide, this might help: Centering wide tables or figures.
I don't know whether it will work, but have you tried using placements, ie:
\begin{figure*}[b]
where b stands for bottom?
You could also try using the float package (put this in the preamble, before \begin{document}:
\usepackage{float}
and then using
\begin{figure*}[H]
to specify exactly where you want your figure to be, i.e. put the figure exactly in the position in relation to your text where you want the figure to be placed.
It may be that your figure is just too big and it won't fit there, so you may have to reduce the size of the figures or fiddle with the margins (not recommended, but possible).
