saveLatex, two paged pdf output #79

Open ghost opened 8 years ago

ghost commented 8 years ago

Dear Yihui Xie,

I have not found a possibility to save two gif plots in one pdf with 2 pages (plot per page) in the saveLatex function. The only solution I came up with is merging of two resulting pdfs (each comprises one plot). Is it the only way?

Thank you very much indeed.

Hi AleksandrIanevski, You are right, saveLatex() can only generate 1 gif plot in one page. The fastest way to save two gif plots in one pdf with 2 pages is merging the two pdf files (on Windows). On linux, we can put two brownian.motion() gif plots in a tex file and compile it with pdftex.

\documentclass{article}
%use geometry and animate package
\usepackage[papersize={7in,7in},margin=0.3in]{geometry}
\usepackage{animate}

\begin{document}
% figure 1
\begin{figure}
  \begin{center}
    \animategraphics[controls,loop,width=0.95\textwidth]{10}{BM}{0}{9}
  \end{center}
\end{figure}
% figure 2
\begin{figure}
  \begin{center}
    \animategraphics[controls,loop,width=0.95\textwidth]{10}{BM}{0}{9}
  \end{center}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

We need implement another function to support 'one pdf multiple animation'. We will add this feature in the future, as more users request for it.
