LaTeX Snippets

This extension includes a variety of snippets for LaTeX including making environments and plotting images for functions, etc.

Features

Powerful Snippets for Formulas, Environments and Plotting

• Template Snippet
  • template or \template: Use the default template which includes a variety of packages and declared-commands. The template will also automatically generate the title and author, as well as date, and will formate the document.
• Formula Snippets:
  • sumlarge or \sumlarge: Insert a large summation notation.
  • suminline or \suminline: Insert an inline summation notation, (only in the cases when the environment is inline math environment).
  • integrallarge or \integrallarge: Insert large integral notation.
  • integralinline or \integralinline: Insert inline integral notation, (only in the cases when the environment is inline math environment).
  • fractionlarge or \fractionlarge: Insert large fraction notation.
  • fractioninline or \fractioninline: Insert inline fraction notation, (only in the cases when the environment is inline math environment).
  • to or \to: Superscript notation, as well as power notation.
• Environment Snippets
  • mathinline or \mathinline: Insert inline Math Environment: $ $.
  • mathcentered or mathcentered: Insert centered Math Environment: $$ $$.
  • section or \section: Insert a new section.
  • subsection or \subsection: Insert a new subsection.
  • header or \header: Insert a new section without index.
  • headersmall or \headersmall: Insert a new subsection without index.
  • theorem or \theorem: Insert a theorem, whose style is already defined in the template. The serial number is automatically generated according to the section.
  • problem or \problem: Insert a problem, whose style is already defined in the template. The serial number is automatically generated according to the section.
  • definition or \definition: Insert a definition, whose style is already defined in the template. The serial number is automatically generated according to the section.
  • proof or \proof: Insert a proof, whose style is already defined in the template. The serial number is automatically generated according to the section.
  • tab or \tab: The equivalent of "\t", also known as "Tab".
  • aligntext or \aligntext: Create an align environment when the context is in the text environment. (The equivalence of align*)
  • problemindex or \problemindex: Insert problem solving index format.
  • solution or \solution: Insert italic 'Sol.'
• Plotting Snippets
  • plotenvironment2d or \plotenvironment2d: Create a 2DPlot Environment of pgfplots. The style declarations are already included in the snippet. Thus, you can set up the position of the axis lines, the color and the title of the environment.
  • plotgraph2d or \plotgraph2d: Plot a 2D Graph in the 2D graph environment, noted that this can also be used in the 3D environment.

    In this case, you have to specify the math expression of the function and the LaTeX form of the function since you may want it to shown as the label of the graph. Also, the domain and the color have to be given out.

  • plotcircle2d or \plotcircle2d: Plot a 2D Circle in the 2D graph environment, noted that this can also be used in the 3D environment.

    This snippet is implemented by using another variable t, since the normal equation of the circle: (x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2 can be transformed into x=a+rcost, y=b+rsint. Noted that even if the implicit function can be transformed into two explicit functions: y=b±√(r^2-(x-a)^2),the process of adding legendentry will produce problem of colors.

  • plotline2d or \plotline2d: Plot a 2D Line in the 2D graph environment, noted that this can also be used in the 3D environment.

    Using this snippet, you have to specify the domain of the function, the color of the graph and the slope and the y-intersect of the function. (Linear function: y=ax+b)

  • plotellipse2d or \plotellipse2d: Plot a 2D Ellipse in the 2D graph environment, noted that this can also be used in the 3D environment.

    Since the standard equation for ellipse is x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2, the value of a and b have to be specified. Also after considering of the movement of the graph, the equation can be transformed into (x-x_0)^2/a^2+(y-y_0)^2/b^2=1. The value of x_0 and y_0 also have to be given out.

  • plotenvironment3d or \plotenvironment3d: Create a 3DPlot Environment of pgfplots. The style declarations are already included in the snippet.

    The title, colormap and axis lines have to be specified.

  • plotgraph3d or \plotgraph3d: Plot a 3D Graph in the 3D graph environment created.

    The math expression and LaTeX expression have to be specified.

I feel extremely sorry that LaTeX is not supported by Microsoft in markdown.

Powerful Plotting Tools

Using the command LaTeX Plotting Tool, you can quickly draw a custom regression graph for any degree according to the points you pointed out in the canvas. You can customize the following:

• whether you want to include point in the graph
• the color of the curve
• the caption of the graph
• the domain
• the degree of the curve
• the coordinate position in the output environment
• the coordinate position of the points when edit

The command can be accessed by typing shift + command + P in Mac OS X and shift + ctrl + P in Windows.

The tool will automatically copy the LaTeX code onto your pasteboard, and you can plot in the tex file simply by pasting into the document.

Requirements
