Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Tangent coordinates in TikZ

[shadgrind]

Has anyone here had any trouble using the tangent coordinate system in TikZ? I can't get the last picture in this example to look right. It's the one with the two tangent lines to a circle. The problem for me seems to be that I can get one tangent line right but not the second one. Here's a picture of what I get with that same exact code from the example:

Notice that it gets the top tangent line but misplaces the bottom tangent line so that it's not tangent at all. All the other pictures in that example work fine for me, by the way.

Tried the example and it is working as shown. Why not do a diff on your source and the original and check for any issues?

As I mentioned before, the code I used is the exact same code as the original, i.e. there is no difference.

OK, it looks like it's the version of TikZ that I'm using that is causing the problem. I'm using the 2009-06-02 CVS version, but in the normal 2.0.0 version it works. I filed a bug for the CVS version.

That's an important information which should have been mentioned right at the beginning. It would have saved time and effort.

OK, this issue has been fixed with the 2009-09-05 CVS build. I just tried it out and tangent coordinates work properly now. Glad to see the TikZ developers fix bugs in a timely fashion. Yay!
