Create Flash animations with LaTeX JessyInk is a very nice example, but when I suspect it is not so convenient for presentations involving equations and mathematics. Regarding JavaScript+TikZ in LaTeX, things are really cumbersome, this is what I have been doing so far. However, this solution is extremely cumbersome, is not completely portable (PDFs with JavaScript and Layers are rendered correctly only by Adobe Acrobat, and even in this case results change significantly among different versions and operating systems). Also, PDF animations typically are slow and not smooth at all. |

Create Flash animations with LaTeX @Harrold: I do not see your point. PDF is also a product of Adobe, and although PDF is an open format (which SWF is not), it has its own problems and bugs... The license issues really do not exist: citing from Wikipedia, "Implementing software which creates SWF files has always been permitted, on the condition that the resulting files render error free in the latest publicly available version of Adobe Flash Player." The license restrictions are more regarding players. |

Length, surface, and coordinates of a tikz-pgf path @Andrew: well, the answer to your question is a little involved. I am preparing a talk, and I need want to make an interative figure where I show a plot on the right, with a complicated function f(x) that has a few "waves", and then to the right two plots, representing, for each threshold in y, the measure (area) of the set {x | f(x) > y} and the integral of f(x) over the same set. These two quantities have some relevance in the field I work on, star formation in molecular clouds. Anyway, the plots are just for display purpuses, and getting some rounding errors is not a major issue. |

Length, surface, and coordinates of a tikz-pgf path Great, the commands you mention are indeed very useful to manipulate paths, something that I missed from TikZ. Are you thinking of adding them to TikZ development too? It would be useful to have them integrated in this system. |
