I'll study with interest

I am using Pgf Tikz to produce a diagram

It shows a mass at rest on a ramp. For most points I have been able to parameterise the coordinates (meaning that, for example, I can change the angle of the ramp or the mass size by changing a single parameter. The code follows:

\documentclass[a4paper ...

Thank you -solved

I want to remove the ref boxes for screen viewings based on acrobat (my users complain :? ) even when it's embedded in (say) Chrome.

I've tried

\usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref}

but I just get the error

C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.8\tex\latex\hyperref\hyperref.sty(3528): Error ...

Can anyone help?

I've been using LaTeX on windows for about 12 months (MiKTeX and WinShell), but now I've got an old laptop up with Puppy-Lucid (Linux) and I would like to use LaTeX on this.

pgfplots can even use gnuplot to compute the coordinates.

OK :)

But how? I'm using

\addplot gnuplot[id=sin]{sin(x)};

and I get the message:

pgfPlots.tex(21): Error: Package pgfplots Error: Sorry, the gnuplot-result file 'pgfPlots.sin.table' could not be found. Maybe you need to enable the ...

Thanks both

As a LaTeX newbie, I'd never heard of pgplots - looks good so far

Hi

I'm running WinShell under Windows and I was wondering if anyone could help me call Gnuplot 'plot' command directly from LaTeX source?

e.g. I can generate .tex files from Gnuplot and use in my LaTeX documents with '\input' with no problem, but it's a bit long winded

Thanks
