I'm trying to export sagemath graphs of crystals (see the following command).

sage: crystals.Tableaux("A3", shape=[2,1]).latex_file("/tmp/a3-21.tex")

I get the output as follows:

        \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
        \usepackage{tikz}

        \usepackage{amsmath}
        \usepackage[active,tightpage]{preview}
        \newenvironment{bla}{}{}
        \PreviewEnvironment{bla}
        \usepackage{tkz-graph}

But there is an error as like

                    1
1.55 }$},x=1.792cm,y-0.0cm}{v0} 
?

In fact, when I was trying to compile at the first time, the console showed:

Undefined control sequence 
1.50 \Vertex

So after searching this comment, I added the code 

\usepackage{tkz-graph}.

But it doesn't still work. How can I get the crystal graph?

  • The output that Sage generates is obviously wrong. In particular the L= parameter of vertex has a problem with the array inside of it. I think this is because array is fragile (as it has an optional parameter). Is there any way you can influence this output?

  • I used Sagemath Cloud to create a sage worksheet and then ran the command crystals.Tableaux("A3", shape=[2,1]).latex_file("MyFile.tex") . When I checked the output, it runs without any problems. Perhaps your versions of Sage and\or LaTeX aren't up to date?

  • That is probably because it generates a tikzpicture with nodes in it. However, the OP probably used the format=tkz_graph option, which produces a tkz-graph, where the node names cannot contain complicated math expressions. The output would then be nicer (if it would work). I think this is a bug that probably is an unintended consequence of the way crystals.Tableaux formats its nodes, and how tkz-graph uses these. I can give a recipe how to transform the output in something that works, if the OP is interested. This requires some editing on the output.

  • @DJP I found how to export from Sagemath Cloud. In fact, this file is generated from Sage7.2 on Ubuntu14.04. But I want to use this on Windows system. Thank you.

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because the issue was due to wrong export from Sage

One possibility is to install an optional Sagemath package dot2tex, something that one would do at the shell prompt as follows: sage -i dot2tex This package is installed on SageMathCloud (recently re-branded as CoCalc). See also a recent discussion here - in short, it is a Sagemath bug.
