how one can write a nice vector parser, something that does pgfvecparse{A=B-C; D=E x F;}












2















I am often use coordinates of points to draw figure in geometry. I know that, we can add, minus coordinates of points, example



begin{tikzpicture}

tkzDefPoints{0/0/C',3/0/D',1/1/B'}

coordinate (A') at ($(B')+(D')-(C')$);

 end{tikzpicture}


If I have two points A(1,2,3) and B(4,5,6), how can I define vector AB as (B)-(A)?

  • Among the existing proposals, to my knowledge this one might be the most promising one. The open problem, though, is that the transformation is to "recorded". Some advanced transformation recording can be found here. But it seems that you are looking for something else.

If you use the coordinates only for drawing, simply define each components of points as variable and then define coordinate points using them. For example:



documentclass[margin=3.14159mm]{standalone}

usepackage{tikz,tikz-3dplot}



begin{document}

tdplotsetmaincoords{60}{125}

begin{tikzpicture}

    [scale=0.9,

    tdplot_main_coords,

    axis/.style={-latex,thick},

    vector/.style={-stealth,red,very thick},

    vector guide/.style={dashed,thick}]



%standard tikz coordinate definition using x, y, z coords

% A(2,4,3), B(3,-1,4)

defAx{2}

defAy{4}

defAz{3}

defBx{-1}

defBy{3}

defBz{4}

coordinate (O) at (0,0,0);

coordinate (A) at (Ax,Ay,Az);

coordinate (B) at (Bx,By,Bz);

%draw axes

draw[axis] (0,0,0) -- (4,0,0) node[anchor=north east]{$x$};

draw[axis] (0,0,0) -- (0,4,0) node[anchor=north west]{$y$};

draw[axis] (0,0,0) -- (0,0,5) node[anchor=south]{$z$};

%Dot at point

fill [blue] (A) circle (2pt);

fill [blue] (B) circle (2pt);

%draw a vector from O to A and O to B

draw[vector guide] (O)node[left=1mm]{} -- (A)node[above=-1mm,right]{$P_1(Ax,Ay,Az)$};

draw[vector guide] (O) -- (B)node[above=-1mm,right]{$P_2(Bx,By,Bz)$};



%draw vector D=AB

draw[vector] (A) -- (B)node[midway,above,sloped]{$mathbf{D}$};

end{tikzpicture}

end{document}

Berlina muro

Image
La berlina muro ĉe Bethaniendamm, 1986 La berlina muro aŭ simple la muro [1] , nomita ankaŭ "kontraŭfaŝisma remparo" en propaganda lingvo de la iama Germana Demokratia Respubliko, estis parto de la interngermana limo, kiu dividis de la 13-a de aŭgusto 1961 ĝis la 9-a de novembro 1989 okcidentan Berlinon de la orienta parto de la urbo kaj de la ĉirkaŭa tereno de la GDR. Ĝi estis unu el la plej famaj simboloj de la malvarma milito kaj de la disdivido de Germanio. Pli ol simpla muro, la berlina muro estis fakte tuta defendokonstruaĵo kun du muroj, ena malplena strio, rondirvojo, gardturoj kaj alarmsistemoj. Dum la provo transiri la severe garditan limon al okcidenta Berlino multaj homoj estis mortigitaj. La preciza nombro de viktimoj estas pridisputita kaj ne certa; la nombroj anoncataj varias inter 86 kaj 238 mortintoj. La malplifortiĝo de Sovetunio kaj la politiko de liberigo gvidita de Miĥail Gorbaĉov ebligis al la orientgermanoj faligi la 9-an de novembro 1989 l...
