how one can write a nice vector parser, something that does pgfvecparse{A=B-C; D=E x F;}












2















I am often use coordinates of points to draw figure in geometry. I know that, we can add, minus coordinates of points, example



begin{tikzpicture}

tkzDefPoints{0/0/C',3/0/D',1/1/B'}

coordinate (A') at ($(B')+(D')-(C')$);

 end{tikzpicture}


If I have two points A(1,2,3) and B(4,5,6), how can I define vector AB as (B)-(A)?

  • Among the existing proposals, to my knowledge this one might be the most promising one. The open problem, though, is that the transformation is to "recorded". Some advanced transformation recording can be found here. But it seems that you are looking for something else.

If you use the coordinates only for drawing, simply define each components of points as variable and then define coordinate points using them. For example:



documentclass[margin=3.14159mm]{standalone}

usepackage{tikz,tikz-3dplot}



begin{document}

tdplotsetmaincoords{60}{125}

begin{tikzpicture}

    [scale=0.9,

    tdplot_main_coords,

    axis/.style={-latex,thick},

    vector/.style={-stealth,red,very thick},

    vector guide/.style={dashed,thick}]



%standard tikz coordinate definition using x, y, z coords

% A(2,4,3), B(3,-1,4)

defAx{2}

defAy{4}

defAz{3}

defBx{-1}

defBy{3}

defBz{4}

coordinate (O) at (0,0,0);

coordinate (A) at (Ax,Ay,Az);

coordinate (B) at (Bx,By,Bz);

%draw axes

draw[axis] (0,0,0) -- (4,0,0) node[anchor=north east]{$x$};

draw[axis] (0,0,0) -- (0,4,0) node[anchor=north west]{$y$};

draw[axis] (0,0,0) -- (0,0,5) node[anchor=south]{$z$};

%Dot at point

fill [blue] (A) circle (2pt);

fill [blue] (B) circle (2pt);

%draw a vector from O to A and O to B

draw[vector guide] (O)node[left=1mm]{} -- (A)node[above=-1mm,right]{$P_1(Ax,Ay,Az)$};

draw[vector guide] (O) -- (B)node[above=-1mm,right]{$P_2(Bx,By,Bz)$};



%draw vector D=AB

draw[vector] (A) -- (B)node[midway,above,sloped]{$mathbf{D}$};

end{tikzpicture}

end{document}

Knooppunt Holsloot

Knooppunt Holsloot Kenmerken Wegen A37 × N34 Type knooppunt klaverblad Portaal     Verkeer & Vervoer Knooppunt Holsloot is een verkeersknooppunt op de kruising van de autosnelweg A37 en de N34 in Drenthe, tussen Emmen en Coevorden. Oorspronkelijk was deze aansluiting een afritconstructie van het type Haarlemmermeeraansluiting, zoals bij Knooppunt Hooipolder. Sinds 2002 is het knooppunt omgebouwd tot een volledig klaverblad. Als noviteit werd hier voor het eerst gebruikgemaakt van dimbare verlichting in plaats van de normale vaste tijden waarop de verlichting aan en uit gaat, wat een grote kostenbesparing opleverde. [1] Dat Holsloot als volwaardig knooppunt is uitgevoerd, waarbij alle verkeersstromen en afbuigingen ononderbroken kunnen doorgaan, is uitzonderlijk. Het betreft hier namelijk een aansluiting tussen een autosnelweg en niet-snelweg. Een vergelijkbare situatie treft men nabij Hoensbroek bij het knooppunt Ten Esschen.     Aa

Een afbeelding van de Gregoriusmis uit een getijdenboek gemaakt in de zuidelijke Nederlanden tussen 1500 en 1525 Gregoriusmis, Meester van het Akense Altaar, ca. 1500-1525. Collectie Museum Catharijneconvent De Gregoriusmis of de Mis van Sint Gregorius is een motief in katholieke kunst, dat het eerst verscheen in de late Middeleeuwen en dat nog steeds werd gebruikt tijdens de contrareformatie. Paus Gregorius I (ca. 540-604) is afgebeeld, de H. Mis opdragend, terwijl Christus als de Man van Smarten verschijnt op het altaar dat voor Sint Gregorius staat. Volgens de legende had St. Gregorius gebeden om een teken voor een betwijfelaar van de transsubstantiatieleer, waarop de lijdende Christus tijdens het opdragen van de Mis verscheen om hem te overtuigen en waarbij zijn bloed in de altaarkelk liep. Vaak zijn ook de passiewerktuigen afgebeeld. Zie de categorie Mass of Saint Gregory van Wikimedia Commons voor mediabestanden over dit onderwerp. This page is onl
