Dear All
Apologies if this is the wrong list (but I’ve always found participants here
very helpful!).
I have been sent some tikz code for diagrams to be included in a forthcoming
article. The author uses a version of LaTeX but tikz should work OK in plain
(Xe)TeX, I think – though I haven’t tried it for a number of years. Oddly
enough, when I invoke tikz with:
\input tikz
the package does load, and a simple drawing works:
\tikzpicture
\path[draw=red] (0,0) -- (1,1) -- (2,1) circle (10pt);
\endtikzpicture
(pasted from a stackexchange discussion of a different matter).
BUT, before the drawing I get six lines of info in the output (the sort of
thing I’d expect in the log), viz.:
pgfrcs[2010/10/25 v2.10 (rcs-revision 1.24)]
pgf[2008/01/15 (rcs-revision 1.10)]
pgfsys[2010/06/30 v2.10 (rcs-revision 1.37)]
pgfcore[2010/04/11 v2.10 (rcs-revision 1.7)]
pgffor[2010/03/23 v2.10 (rcs-revision 1.18)]
tikz[2010/10/13 v2.10 (rcs-revision 1.76)]
It also messes up my crop marks and running headlines in subsequent pages, but
I suspect that could be rectified by invoking other \inputs in a different
order (I include edmac and pstricks at the start). I can manage without tikz
if necessary (the worst-case scenario would be redrawing with pstricks), but it
would be good to know at least that I can use tikz in future without these
unwanted half-dozen lines coming into the output. It’s a powerful package that
I’ve always meant to learn.
Best
John
