Adding additional blank lines in Minted

Question

I currently have two minted environments in each their minipage environment, so that they can be situated next to each other:

\begin{figure}[!h]
\centering
\begin{minipage}{0.45\linewidth}

\begin{python}
  from pycsp_import import *

  @process
  def producer(cout):
    for i in [1,2,3,4,5]:
      cout(i)
    retire(cout)

  @process
  def worker(cin):
    while True:
      print cin()

  c = Channel()

  Parallel(
    producer(-c),
    worker(+c)
  )
\end{python}

\end{minipage}
\qquad
\begin{minipage}{0.45\linewidth}

\begin{python}
  1
  2
  3
  4
  Exception













  .
\end{python}

\end{minipage}
\end{figure}

Is there a way to get rid of the need of the .. Can I somehow tell minted that there should be 19 lines, so that the two python environments are the same height?

Answer 1

If you want to do this you have to change the compilation by pygmentize. The required option is stripnl. For more details see: Available lexers

To set the option to the run you have to change the internal definition:

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\minted@pygmentize[2][\jobname.pyg]{
  \def\minted@cmd{pygmentize -l #2 -f latex -F tokenmerge
    \minted@opt{gobble} \minted@opt{texcl} \minted@opt{mathescape}
    \minted@opt{startinline} \minted@opt{funcnamehighlighting}
    \minted@opt{linenos} -P "verboptions=\minted@opt{extra}"
    -O stripnl=false -o \jobname.out.pyg #1}
  \immediate\write18{\minted@cmd}
  % For debugging, uncomment:
  %\immediate\typeout{\minted@cmd}
  \ifthenelse{\equal{\minted@opt@bgcolor}{}}
   {}
   {\begin{minted@colorbg}{\minted@opt@bgcolor}}
  \input{\jobname.out.pyg}
  \ifthenelse{\equal{\minted@opt@bgcolor}{}}
   {}
   {\end{minted@colorbg}}
  \DeleteFile{\jobname.out.pyg}}
\makeatother

However this influence all compilation by pygmentize. To avoid this you can declare a new option.

If you used

 \begin{minipage}[t]{0.45\linewidth}
                 %%%

they would line up on the first line even if different sizes/
