I'm a physics and chemistry teacher. I used to develop some physics related pstricks package (pst-math, pst-circ, pst-osci). I am now an "entry-level-low-skilled" developer for pgf/tikz taking care of simple bug fixes or feature requests (une petite main in french). Still learning!

comment Get the head, the tail, and the last element of a comma-separated list
Instead of a ., I'd rather delimit the argument with some undefined control sequence. It works as a good detector if something wrong happens with the arguments: \def\headOfListAux#1,#2\MyUndefined{#1}\def\headOfList#1{\expandafter\headOfLis‌​tAux#1\MyUndefined}

comment Changing the default file path for \addplot table {myfile}
Maybe a bit more robust (in case code change): \let\pgfplotstableread@openfile@i\pgfplotstableread@openfile \def\pgfplotstableread@openfile{\edef\pgfplotstableread@filename{\pgfkeysvalueof‌​{/pgfplots/table file path}\pgfplotstableread@filename}\pgfplotstableread@openfile@i}. Thanks again for digging the code to the right place.

comment Changing the default file path for \addplot table {myfile}
Thanks: that a really good start (of course +1). Maybe a more robust solution would be to hack pgfplotstableshared.code.tex where \pgfplotstableread@filename is defined. I'll try later today.

comment How can I improve those voltage annotations
Sorry. My previous comment was total nonsense. Of course, as in my last example, I can use voltage info instead of voltage info sloped. This seems to mimmic to build-in info/info sloped behaviour which looks good for me. \documentclass[tikz]{standalone} \usetikzlibrary{circuits.ee.IEC} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[circuit ee IEC] \draw (2,2) to[resistor = {info sloped = $R$}] (0,0); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

comment How can I improve those voltage annotations
Very good starting point. Thanks. But sometimes I do want labels to be sloped and not upside down.

comment Asymptote: convert triple to array
Try this. real[][] q = new real[3][10]; triple v=(1,2,3); void toarray(triple t, real[][] a, int i){ a[0][i] = t.x; a[1][i] = t.y; a[2][i] = t.z; } toarray(v,q,0); real[][] q2 = new real[3][]; void pushtoarray(triple t, real[][] a){ a[0].push(t.x); a[1].push(t.y); a[2].push(t.z); } pushtoarray(v,q2); pushtoarray(v + (2,4,6),q2); write(q2);

comment LaTeX 'Missing $' Cannot find the reason
With this \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath,amsfonts} \let\vect\vec \let\bi\emph as a preamble, I have no problem. So there must be something else hidden in your preamble.

comment enumitem conflict with french babel
I have no problem here (TeXLive2012 fully updated). Do you have an up to date version of both packages babel and enumitem?
