I am a førsteamenuensis (UK: lecturer, US: assistant/associate professor) in the Department of Mathematics at the Norwegian University for Science and Technology. I work in both differential and algebraic topology, both of which require that I use some category theory from time to time. I am also extremely interested in how best to use technology to help us do mathematics, particularly in the purer ends of mathematics where the obvious computational uses are not so useful.
For the 2012/2013 academic year I am on sabbatical based at Oxford.

Note page showing the next frame @anderfo I've no idea! I'll have a look when I get a minute. |

Can I define a new shape with predefined filling and shading to be used in decoration? @Elena Ah, so it's an "either-or". Then you should put the draw part in an \else - if I get a minute later on I'll try mocking up some code that will do that. For \makeatletter and \makeatother I recommend reading tex.stackexchange.com/q/8351/86 |

Can I define a new shape with predefined filling and shading to be used in decoration? @Elena Glad to have helped. I'm curious about the \pgfusepath{stroke} comment. Without that, I don't see what that first segment does. A path is constructed but not used, so it actually gets added to the clip path. You probably don't notice this most likely because the default clip method means that it is effectively ignored. Also, if you do use this path then you need to save the random seed so that the drawn and filled parts match up, if you don't then you're right that you don't need to save the seed. |

Can I define a new shape with predefined filling and shading to be used in decoration? Re Qn 1: No, you need to use scopes to limit the clips. But you can use \pgfscope ... \endpgfscope for a more "low-level" feel. Re Qn 3: What should happen if only one colour is specified? You use the draw and fill colours to provide the shading so if they are the same then there is no shading and it is filled uniformly. Here's where you might want to consider defining new keys for these colours rather than use the fill and draw ones. The \iftikz@mode@draw part seems to be missing a \pgfusepath{stroke}, is this right or am I missing something? |

tikz declare function and babel french option Note that this won't work in beamer unless the fragile option is given to the frame since in beamer the frames are read in before processing and catcodes are frozen at that time. |

Tikzmark and french seem to conflict @percusse That would be okay, except it could lead to unexpected behaviour if you put something into the \tikzmark arguments that used a semi-colon since it wouldn't behave the same way as outside. |

Tikzmark and french seem to conflict @DavidCarlisle Then I'd need to define \tikzmark@active and \tikzmark@nonactive via \newcommand so that they could deal with the optional argument, no? |

Smooth curve through points with pgfplots @Jake Since the last update, hobby can be used with \addplot. However, I don't recommend it as it can double back on itself as alfC mentions. (I added it because it was requested.) |
