Dear PGF developers,

I'm forwarding this post from comp.text.tex about an issue with
microtype and small caps in tikz-boxes:

Coordinate tranformation matrix and arrows

Hello all,

I'd like to know why the coordinate transformation matrix (cm) has no 
effect on arrows. I need to use \pgflowlevelsynccm to have an effect on 
them. Is there a workaround like [transform shape] for nodes?

Thanks in advance

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}[>=latex]
   \draw[->] (0,0) -- (1,1);
   \begin{scope}[cm={cos(30),sin(30),cos(70),sin(70),(0,0)}]
     \draw[->,red] (0,0) -- (1,1);
   \end{scope}
   \begin{pgfscope}
     \tikzset{cm={cos(30),sin(30),cos(70),sin(70),(0,0)}}
     \pgflowlevelsynccm
     \draw[->,green] (0,0) -- (1,1);
   \end{pgfscope}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

\notation (gauge or progress bar)

Hi all,
I'm experiencing a problem with some old code that used to work using
TeXlive 2008 but not any more using TeXlive 2009.
The idea is, that typing \notation{7/10} would produce, for instance, 7
blue rectangles followed with 3 grey rectangles, like a gauge or a progress bar.

Here's the error i'm getting using texlive 2009:

 ! Use of \pgf <at> lib <at> dec <at> parsemark doesn't match its definition.
 <argument> b
            etween positions 0 and 1 step \note <at> sep  with { \node [inner
 sep...
 l.142 ...rlé \notation{7/10}\hfill{}\vspace{0pt}}

 The source code follows ; I'm not especially proud of it, so i'd be glad if
 someone could give me a hand and even happier with a simpler solution to
 achieve the same results.

 Thanks very much in advance,
 Nicolas

 %==========
 \newlength\note <at> sep
 \newlength\firststep

Re: \notation (gauge or progress bar)

Hi,

Not sure what the problem is. Sorry.

However, it being an unusually slow day, how about this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}

\makeatletter
\pgfkeys{/progress bar/.cd,
	.unknown/.code={\expandafter\tikzset\expandafter{\pgfkeyscurrentname=#1}},		
	completed/.code args={#1/#2}{\def\pb <at> completed{#1}\def\pb <at> total{#2}},
	completed=0/10,
	completed block/.style={
		draw=none,
		red!65!black
	},
	to do block/.style={
		draw=none,
		fill=blue!50!black
	},
	every block/.style={
		fill
	},
	block width/.initial=1ex,
	block height/.initial=1.5ex,
	block sep/.initial=0.5ex,

Wow ! Fantastic ! Very nice piece of code, thanks for your efforts !
It might be a good addition to the Tikz example gallery (
http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/ )
Thanks again,
Nicolas

Re: \notation (gauge or progress bar)

Hi,

This is much more general solution where an arbitrary path can be used
for the progress bar, and arbitrary code can be used for each block:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{decorations}

\begin{document}

\makeatletter
\tikzset{
	block width/.code=\pgfmathsetlengthmacro\progressbarblockwidth{#1},
	block height/.code=\pgfmathsetlengthmacro\progressbarblockheight{#1},
	block sep/.code=\pgfmathsetlengthmacro\progressbarblocksep{#1},
	block width=1ex,
	block height=1ex,
	block sep=0.5ex,
	completed block/.style={
		draw=none,
		fill=red!75!black
	},
	remaining block/.style={
		draw=none,
		fill=blue!75!black
	},
	every block/.style={	
	},
	completed/.code args={#1/#2}{%

How to cut the bounding box of a flowchart in TikZ

Hi,
I have used TikZ  package for the flowchart itself, but now I need to 
cut and remove the blank spots around it. Unfortunately I do not know 
how, so I'll be very grateful if anyone could tell me how to do it.
Best regards: M. Hristov

Here the source code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
\usepackage[cp1251]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english,bulgarian]{babel}
\usepackage{pifont}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes,arrows,calc}

\begin{document}

% Define block styles
\tikzstyle{dia} = [diamond, draw, fill=blue!20,text width=5em, text 
badly centered, node distance=2.5cm, inner sep=0pt,]
\tikzstyle{rec} = [rectangle, draw, fill=blue!20,text width=14em, text 
centered, rounded corners, minimum height=2.5em]
\tikzstyle{line} = [draw, -latex']
\tikzstyle{round rec} = [draw, rounded 
rectangle,fill=orange!20,draw=orange, thick, node distance=3cm,minimum 
height=2em, text width=5em, text centered]
\tikzstyle{del} = [draw=none,fill=none, inner sep=-5pt, minimum 
size=2pt, node distance=6.3em,minimum height=0.1mm]

I think the preview package is what you need.

Re: \notation (gauge or progress bar)

Hi,

In answer to the original question, the reason why the original code
failed was because the step argument was a macro, for example:

mark=between positions 0 and 1 step \somemacro width {...}

Because the space after \somemacro is ignored by the TeX parser, the
TikZ parser chokes as it is expecting one. The solution here is to use
parenthesis as the expression is parsed by the mathematical engine:

mark=between positions 0 and 1 step (\somemacro) width {...}

Anyway, the markings decoration is powerful enough to do what was
required. In what is shown below everything is not paramaterised, but
it is simple to see how it could be.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{decorations.markings}

\begin{document}

\tikzset{
	completed/.style args={#1/#2}{
		decoration={
			markings,
			mark=between positions 0 and 1 step (1/#2) with {
				\ifnum\pgfkeysvalueof{/pgf/decoration/mark info/sequence number}>#1\relax%

Re: \notation (gauge or progress bar)

Obviously I meant

mark=between positions 0 and 1 step (\somemacro) with {...}

tha is, `with' not `width'.
