I'm a PhD student in atmospheric remote sensing in Kiruna, Sápmi (Lapland), Sweden. I first came to Stack Exchange for practical reasons: Tex.SE has been of major help when I wrote my licentiate (midterm) thesis. Since then, I have discovered the joy of many websites. As my network profile will show, I'm interested in travel, outdoor, scientific skepticism, and as I work in academia, also in academia and LaTeX.

Line segments with text in the middle in TikZ Aren't you afraid your students might read this? Nice exam preparation! ;-) |

Combining several articles using combine package causes errors Please provide a MWE, that is, the smallest document you can create that reproduces the problem. That way, it's much easier for others to help you. |

Axis limits in user-defined style Thanks; it was the why that I was still wondering about :) |

pgfplots and calculations; without fpu 'dimension too large', with fpu 'Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted)' Thanks! Just curious: could I have figured this out from the documentation? I did not consider that it would get confused. |

geographic maps with TikZ/pgfplots I thought it should be CW because there is no clear answer to the question and I was more looking for a discussion, a brainstorm, as to how this works. I'm still quite new to SE and don't really know for sure if this question should be CW or if it is on-topic at all. Also, I am by no means an expert on map projections. |

geographic maps with TikZ/pgfplots That works for local maps like in this example, but for global maps the scaling depends on the position; e.g., a square (20N, 20E) (30N, 30E) is not a square on most map projections. I don't presently know enough about TikZ, pgfplots, and TeX to estimate if such projection code would be easy to add, or actually quite difficult. In my ML code I have for each ellipse and rectangle the position in lat/lon and the sizes in km, and from my user POV conversion to image coordinates are all hidden. It might be quite some hand-work to get them right, but I'd rather spend my time on a long-term solution |

geographic maps with TikZ/pgfplots No; I have plotted all myself. The background map data is from shapefiles from OpenStreetMap. The rest is my own. To do this in pgfplots, I would need to generate several hundred datafiles with coordinates for polygons and lines, read those, I'm not sure pgfplots is up to that. Or I could create a PDF without any text and write on top of that, so that at least the fonts would match the surrounding document. But for the scale-ruler that would be difficult. I'm often plotting maps in my field; usually (near)-global, starting with coastlines, then contours on top of that, etc... |
