Mar 26	comment	Color the faces of a graph @AlainMatthes Yes, I plan to use your `new open triangle 60`. What is the reasoning that the `open triangles` should behave differently than the `closed triangles`?
Mar 26	accepted	Color the faces of a graph
Mar 26	comment	Color the faces of a graph @ienissei Oh, I found it. It is at the bottom of the summary page. When looking at your own page, there is a special vote page that also contains this info but is not accessible on others profiles.
Mar 26	comment	Color the faces of a graph @ienissei I did try to compare my up- and downvote rate to others, but I can't see how many times others have voted. Can you?
Mar 25	comment	Color the faces of a graph @egreg I agree. I hope that everyone finds the answers to this question as helpful as I have. As for accepting an answer, I would prefer to know that status of this `open triangle 60` bug first. Do you know anything about it?
Mar 25	comment	Color the faces of a graph @ienissei I agree that things are not black and white. For example, the reasons that I choose to downvote something may be different than the reasons that you choose to downvote something. IMO, you have a rather strict view on downvoting. Can you point to somewhere in the TeX-SX FAQ or other official documentation to justify your view?
Mar 25	comment	Color the faces of a graph The second problem closely follows, which is that those giving PSTrick solutions have not convinced me that PSTricks is better suited for my problem than TikZ. I suggested that Karl's students could do this but he has yet to accept my offer. Therefore, I will focus on understanding TikZ better and consider only those solutions given in TikZ.
Mar 25	comment	Color the faces of a graph @PeterGrill Not hash and I completely agree with you. I enjoy when I can find an answer that helps me solve my problem regardless of that OP's question. As to the possibility that some library may be able to do this straight away, I was thinking that Alain Matthes' `tkz-graph` could be useful (but if it were, I would have expected him to say something). The biggest problem I have with a PSTricks solution is that I don't understand it. (continued)
Mar 25	comment	Color the faces of a graph @SvendMortensen Since you seen so interested in how and why I vote the way I do, you will probably like to know that I have now upvoted this answer for his beamer/gif animation.
Mar 25	comment	Color the faces of a graph @SvendMortensen I am not saying that Karl's student's solution isn't a fine solution. I am merely saying that I requested a solution that was a modification of what I started with and his answer isn't that. I don't know what you do with TikZ, but I use it in large documents so it is highly beneficial to minimize the number of dependencies. I am already using TikZ in many other ways in the document and neither Karl's students nor you have convinced me that I should convert from TikZ to PSTricks because of the issues I face with this particular image.
Mar 25	awarded	Nice Question
Mar 25	comment	Color the faces of a graph I submitted a bug report on SourceForge.
Mar 25	comment	Color the faces of a graph To whom should I/you/we submit a bug report about this?
Mar 25	comment	Color the faces of a graph But your solution is more than just Alain Matthes's solution modified to use `\foreach` and I am trying to figure out what exactly those differences are.
Mar 25	comment	Color the faces of a graph Why does using `open triangle 60` instead of `triangle 60` cause a small gap to appear between the shaded region and the dashed edge?
Mar 25	comment	Color the faces of a graph Of course your solution might help someone else who views this question, but it is not that helpful to me. If you must know, the reason to only modify my original code is that I have many other pictures created in a similar way and I want them all to look the same. For example, your edges look nothing like mine. Thus, even if you literally interpret my "wish" to modify the image instead of the code, you have already failed by making the edges look different for no apparent reason. In constrast, Alain Matthes's solution changes the arrow tips to `triangle 60` but for a good reason.
Mar 25	comment	Color the faces of a graph @Karl'sstudents As I already said, I disagree. I don't think the `\foreach` functionality in TikZ very readable. Worse yet, I am not the only one that will use this code and the others that will know and understand TikZ considerably less than me. Of course I believe in the DRY paradigm. If were willing to specify these paths twice, I am sure that I could figure out how to first get the graph to look correct (which I have already done) and then repeat the paths just to be able to fill. However, I am quite unwilling to settle for this solution.
Mar 25	comment	Color the faces of a graph It is fine to give a completely different answer that what I am looking for, but you should at least try to convince me why your way is better. For example, you could try to argue that what I was doing can be considered a hack but your solution is elegant. I more than welcome you to update your answer with such an argument.
