setting variables inside of \rlap

Hello!

Two questions about this code:
Why does rlap prevent me from setting a variable?
I need to set a variable from within rlap that is visible outside rlap, but how?


\documentclass{article}
\newif\ifmycheck
\begin{document}
\rlap{\mychecktrue}
% \mychecktrue
\ifmycheck
Check 1 True!
\else ...

graphics path in class file

Right, I tried putting them in the same spot. In my case the paths look like this:

Code: Select all

my_class/tex/latex/base/myclass.cls
my_class/tex/latex/base/mylogo.pdf
But no luck.

graphics path in class file

Hello!

I have a class file that uses \includegraphics for a logo. The class file is in a common area, not per document. I add the .cls file location to the root directories, update FNDB, and everything works except the logo graphic isn't found.

I tried some experiments with using \graphicspath in ...

Re: \thisfloatsetup broken in floatrow package?

I tried twice to reach Olga by email, but no response. I updated all my MikTex package but the problem persists. Bummer!

\thisfloatsetup broken in floatrow package?

Hello Forum,
I noticed that the figure boxes have disappeared from figures placed using the floatrow package. This used to work, so I assume an update broke something.
I'm using MikTex 2.7 with all updates on Windows XP.

Here is a sample code that demonstrates the problem. It tries to show the ...

Re: avoiding viewport when using includegraphics with pdf files

Hi Tomek -- Thanks for the pointer. I tried your sample code. It built fine, but the displayed image appeared to be normal letter size with the small sprial shape in the upper left. Maybe I misunderstand?

In the past I tried clipping a pdf file with gs (gswin32c in my case). However, I'm unable to ...

avoiding viewport when using includegraphics with pdf files

Thanks Juanjo. I also had that problem while experimenting and it's nice to see a solution.
In my case, I put the whole includegraphics line in a macro:

\newcommand{\spiralone}{\includegraphics[width=\linewidth, viewport=25.877109 204.315111 79.269959 252.823984]{spiral_1}}
...
