This value seems about right but if you +% want a different height compared to the text height you will have to modify +% the style file (modify |\SB@Height|). This could possibly be set as +% an optional argument to the package. +% \item[Thickness of the thin rule is fixed] The thickness of the thin rule +% is set to 0.2\,mm. This seems about right. If you wish to change it is easy +% to modify the style file (|\SB@Thick|). +% \item[Number of decimal places is limited to one] Scalebars rarely display +% more than one decimal place in the scalebar text. This package rounds the +% decimals of the displayed text to one place. If you want two decimal places +% you will have to modify the style file. +% \end{description} +% +% Please let me know if you encounter any problems. +% If you have suggestions for extra options to add, then code for that +% would be appeciated. +% +% +% \StopEventually{\PrintChanges \PrintIndex} +% +% \section{Implementation} +% +% First we have to decide how a scalebar is constructed. Looking a a scalebar +% one can see that it is made up of alternating black and white bars. It would +% seem sensible therefore to define some sort of ``unit'' or ``building block'' +% that can be iterated any number of times to create a scalebar of arbitary +% length and with an arbitary number of divisions. The diagram below of a +% scalebar and its deconstruction shows one way to break it up into units. +% \vspace{0.4\baselineskip} +% +% \raisebox{-2mm}{\rule{0.2mm}{4mm}}\tempA{5mm}\tempB{5mm}\tempA{5mm}\tempB{5mm}\tempA{20mm}\tempB{20mm}\tempA{20mm}\raisebox{-2mm}{\rule{0.2mm}{4mm}} +% \vspace{0.6\baselineskip} +% +% \raisebox{-2mm}{\rule{0.2mm}{4mm}} \mbox{} +% \tempA{5mm} \mbox{} \tempB{5mm} \mbox{} \tempA{5mm} \mbox{} \tempB{5mm} \mbox{} +% \tempA{20mm} \mbox{} \tempB{20mm} \mbox{} \tempA{20mm} \mbox{} \raisebox{-2mm}{\rule{0.2mm}{4mm}} +% \vspace{0.8\baselineskip} +% +% Looking at the parts above you can see there is a thin vertical rule at the +% start of each scalebar. This is followed by repeating ``scalebar units'' each +% one of which alternates in color. Finally there is a thin vertical rule to +% close the end of the scalebar. +% +% I have therefore defined two scalebar units. The first one typesets the thick +% black rule on the top. After writing this rule we then move back +% horizontally a distance equal to the width of the rule written. Then we write +% the thinner rule underneath it by using a raisebox with a negative vertical +% distance. This unit looks like this: +% +% \hspace{2em}\tempA{5mm}\ X% +% \hspace{2em}(the X shows the position of the baseline) +% \vspace{0.2\baselineskip} +% +% The second type of unit has the thick black rule on the bottom like this: +% +% \hspace{2em}\tempB{5mm}\ X +% \vspace{0.2\baselineskip} +% +% By stringing these two types of units together within a while loop +% we can create our scalebars. +% Let's now proceed to the start of the macro. +% +% \subsection{Required Packages} +% +% We have used the \textsf{fp} package to provide floating point calculations +% and a rounding function via the |\FPupn| macro. The \textsf{calc} package +% provides an easy calculation syntax for simple subtraction of lengths. +% The \textsf{ifthen} package provides the whiledo loop and the +% ifthenelse contruct. +% +% \subsection{Initialisation} +% +% Note that we have to place a \% at the end of each command to suppress any +% whitespace. Otherwise the scalebar will ``break apart''. +% +% \begin{macro}{counters/lengths} +% +% Define counters and lengths. +% +% The first three mandatory arguments specify the length of the scalebar and +% the numbers of the divisions. The arguments that specify the format of text +% underneath the scalebar will be introduced later. +% +% \begin{macrocode} +\newlength{\SB@Length}% +\newcounter{SB@majordivs}% +\newcounter{SB@minordivs}% +% \end{macrocode} +% +% These are some further general counters and lengths. +% +% \begin{macrocode} +\newcounter{SB@evenodd}% +\newcounter{SB@countup}% +\newlength{\SB@Height}% +\newlength{\SB@Thick}% +\newlength{\SB@MajorWidth}% +\newlength{\SB@MinorWidth}% +\newlength{\SB@DivisionWidth}% +\newlength{\SB@TextWidth}% +% \end{macrocode} +% \end{macro} +% +% +% Now define two small commands to typeset the two `scalebar units'. +% +% \begin{macro}{\SB@unitT} +% +% This command typesets the unit with the thick black rule on the \emph{top}. +% +% \begin{macrocode} +\newcommand{\SB@unitT}{% +\rule{\SB@DivisionWidth}{\SB@Height}\hspace{-\SB@DivisionWidth}% +\raisebox{-\SB@Height}{\rule{\SB@DivisionWidth}{\SB@Thick}}}% +% \end{macrocode} +% \end{macro} +% +% +% \begin{macro}{\SB@unitB} +% +% This command typesets the thick black rule on the \emph{bottom}. +% +% \begin{macrocode} +\newcommand{\SB@unitB}{% +\raisebox{\SB@Height-\SB@Thick}% +{\rule{\SB@DivisionWidth}{\SB@Thick}}\hspace{-\SB@DivisionWidth}% +\raisebox{-\SB@Height}{\rule{\SB@DivisionWidth}{\SB@Height}}}% +% \end{macrocode} +% \end{macro} +% +% +% \newpage +% \subsection{The scalebar macro} +% +% \begin{macro}{\scalebar} +% Start the scalebar command and process the command arguments. +% +% \begin{macro}{args} +% The first argument is an optional argument which is set to +% nothing as default. Normally the value +% of |SB@evenodd| is 0 which will result in the black rule of +% the first division being on top. If \meta{inverse} is set the +% black rule will be set on the bottom. +% +% \begin{macrocode} +\newcommand{\scalebar}[7][]{% +% +\ifthenelse{\equal{inverse}{#1}}% +{\setcounter{SB@evenodd}{1}}% +{\setcounter{SB@evenodd}{0}}% +% \end{macrocode} +% +% Read in the next three mandatory arguments. +% +% \begin{macrocode} +\setlength{\SB@Length}{#2}% +\setcounter{SB@minordivs}{#3}% +\setcounter{SB@majordivs}{#4}% +% \end{macrocode} +% +% Define the number at which the text will start by |\SB@StartNo|; +% the number at which it will end by |\SB@EndNo| and the units the text +% represents by |\SB@TextUnits|. These are set to the last three mandatory +% arguments. +% +% \begin{macrocode} +\def\SB@StartNo{#5}% +\def\SB@EndNo{#6}% +\def\SB@TextUnits{#7}% +% \end{macrocode} +% \end{macro} +% +% +% Set the height of the scalebar and thickness of the thin enclosing rule. +% +% Let the height of the thick black rule of a division be |\SB@Height| and set +% it to a value related to the x-height of the current font. This is because +% we want the scalebar to increase in height if the user specifies a change in +% font size. It's set after the command begins rather than earlier as we want +% it to pickup a font change immediately before the scalebar command if any. +% The thin rule that encloses the divisions (|\SB@Thick|) will be hard coded to +% 0.2\,mm. This was chosen as it looked about right :-) +% +% \begin{macrocode} +\setlength{\SB@Height}{1.2ex}% +\setlength{\SB@Thick}{0.2mm}% +% \end{macrocode} +% +% +% Calculate the lengths of the divisions. +% +% Let's define |\SB@MajorWidth| to be the width (i.e.\ length) of a +% major division. +% To calculate this we take the total scalebar length and divide by +% the number of major divisions. +% To calculate the length of a minor division, |\SB@MinorWidth|, we divide +% the major division length just calculated by the number of minor divisions. +% +% \begin{macrocode} +\setlength{\SB@MajorWidth}{\SB@Length / \theSB@majordivs}% +\setlength{\SB@MinorWidth}{\SB@MajorWidth / \theSB@minordivs}% +% \end{macrocode} +% +% +% +% \subsection{Drawing the scalebar} +% +% Now we can start placing ink to paper. +% Place onto the page the thin vertical rule at the start of the scalebar. +% As it starts at the baseline we have to make it twice the height of +% |\SB@Height| and lower it by |\SB@Height|. +% +% \begin{macrocode} +\raisebox{-\SB@Height}{\rule{\SB@Thick}{2\SB@Height}}% +% \end{macrocode} +% +% +% Use a while loop to place the minor divisions onto the page. (Use a new +% counter rather than decrementing minordivs variable.) Note +% that we alternate between using the |\SB@unitT| or the |\SB@unitB| unit +% depending on the value of the |SB@evenodd| variable. That value +% is set at the beginning and depends on the setting of the optional +% \meta{inverse} argument. +% +% \begin{macrocode} +\setlength{\SB@DivisionWidth}{\SB@MinorWidth}% +\setcounter{SB@countup}{0}% +\whiledo{\not\theSB@countup=\theSB@minordivs}{% +\ifthenelse{\isodd{\value{SB@evenodd}}}{\SB@unitB}{\SB@unitT}% +\addtocounter{SB@evenodd}{1}% +\addtocounter{SB@countup}{1}}% +% \end{macrocode} +% +% +% Now that the minor divisions are done we can write the major divisions. +% +% Note that we have to reset the length of the rule from the +% current width of a minor division to the width of a major division. +% Set the counter this time to start at 1 rather than 0 +% as we have already written all the minor divisions which adds up +% to one major division. +% +% \begin{macrocode} +\setlength{\SB@DivisionWidth}{\SB@MajorWidth}% +\setcounter{SB@countup}{1}% +\whiledo{\not\theSB@countup=\theSB@majordivs}{% +\ifthenelse{\isodd{\value{SB@evenodd}}}{\SB@unitB}{\SB@unitT}% +\addtocounter{SB@evenodd}{1}% +\addtocounter{SB@countup}{1}}% +% \end{macrocode} +% +% Finally we have to print the thin vertical rule at the end. +% +% \begin{macrocode} +\raisebox{-\SB@Height}{\rule{\SB@Thick}{2\SB@Height}}% +% \end{macrocode} +% +% +% \subsection{Typesetting the scalebar numbers} +% +% Typesetting of the text underneath the scalebar requires three +% pieces of information; the number at which the text will start, +% the number at which it will end and what units the text represents. +% The numbering does not have to start at zero. +% +% Some scalebars will consist of integers only as in the text below.\\ +% 0\hspace{1.5cm}2\hspace{1.5cm}4\hspace{1.5cm}6\hspace{1.5cm}8\hspace{1.5cm}10\,km +% +% Other scalebars will have decimals. Althought usually scalebars only show +% one decimal place at most. \\ +% -0.5\hspace{1.5cm}0\hspace{1.5cm}1.5\hspace{1.5cm}2.0\hspace{1.5cm}2.5\,cm +% +% +% We now use macros provided by the fp.sty (fixed point) +% package to perform some simple arithmetic and rounding. +% +% Calculate how much we will increment the numbers by subtracting +% the starting and ending numbers (|SB@StartNo| and |SB@EndNo|) then dividing their difference by the +% number of major divisions. +% +% \begin{macrocode} +\FPupn\SBIncrement% +{\the\value{SB@majordivs} \SB@StartNo{} \SB@EndNo{} - /}% +% \end{macrocode} +% +% +% Now we need to work out how many decimal places to display for the numbers. +% +% Start off with rounding set to none. If the calculated increment +% is an integer then don't do anything, otherwise set rounding on and +% round the increment to one decimal place. This would suffice for many +% variations of starting and ending number, however if the user entered +% -0.5 to 2.5 for these values respectively then the increment (3.0) would be +% an integer and the rounding would be set to zero. In theses cases though +% the starting and ending numbers must be non-integer thus by testing all three +% numbers we can cover all cases. +% +% \begin{macrocode} +\def\SBRound{0}% +\FPifint\SBIncrement% +\else\def\SBRound{1}\FPupn\SBIncrement{\SBIncrement{} 1 round}\fi% +\FPifint\SB@StartNo% +\else\def\SBRound{1}\FPupn\SB@StartNo{\SB@StartNo{} 1 round}\fi% +\FPifint\SB@EndNo% +\else\def\SBRound{1}\FPupn\SB@EndNo{\SB@EndNo{} 1 round}\fi% +% \end{macrocode} +% +% +% Now remember that we are at the end of the scalebar so to print the +% text underneath we have to move back to the left and down. +% Move left by a distance equal to the scalebar length (|\SB@Length|) +% plus a little bit more to take into account the thickness of the thin +% line at the start and end of the scalebar (|\SB@Thick|). +% Then move down by enough to place the +% text at a nice distance below the scalebar. Remember that the distance +% |\SB@Height| depends on the current font in a fixed ratio set earlier. +% +% \begin{macrocode} +\hspace{-\SB@Length}\hspace{-\SB@Thick}% +\raisebox{-3\SB@Height}{% +% \end{macrocode} +% +% Now we are ready to print the numbers. +% The length |\SB@TextWidth| contains the +% width of the text that we are about to put to page. +% We need to calculate this so that we can fine position the center of +% the text to be exactly under the start of each major division. +% Note how we use the value of |\SBRound| to set the number of +% decimal places in the text we typeset. +% +% \begin{macrocode} +\FPset\SBNextNo\SB@StartNo% +\setcounter{SB@countup}{0}% +\whiledo{\not\theSB@countup>\theSB@majordivs}{% +\FPupn\SBNextNo{\SBNextNo{} \SBRound{} round}% +\settowidth{\SB@TextWidth}{\SBNextNo}% +\hspace{-0.5\SB@TextWidth}% +\SBNextNo\hspace{-0.5\SB@TextWidth}\hspace{\SB@MajorWidth}% +\FPupn\SBNextNo{\SBNextNo{} \SBIncrement{} add}% +\addtocounter{SB@countup}{1}}% +% \end{macrocode} +% +% Now all the numbers are on the page we are nearly ready to append +% the scalebars units to the end. First though we have to move back +% by the distance |\SB@MajorWidth| as the last while loop added +% this unwanted space, then forward half of the width of the last +% number printed. +% Finally add a thin space and the units and finish the scalebar +% command with its closing brace. +% +% \begin{macrocode} +\hspace{-\SB@MajorWidth}\hspace{0.5\SB@TextWidth}\,\SB@TextUnits}% +}% +% \end{macrocode} +% \end{macro} +% +% That's the end of the macro. +% +% \section*{License}\label{sec:license} +% This program may be distributed and/or modified under the +% conditions of the \LaTeX\ Project Public License, either version 1.2 +% of this license or (at your option) any later version. +% The latest version of this license is in +% +% \hspace{2em}http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt +% +% and version 1.2 or later is part of all distributions of \LaTeX \ +% version 1999/12/01 or later. +% +% This program consists of the files \textsf{scalebar.dtx} and +% \textsf{scalebar.ins} +% +% +% \section*{Acknowledgements} +% +% Thanks to the people on the \textsf{comp.text.tex} newsgroup for their +% help to me in developing this package. +% +% +% \Finale{\vspace{\baselineskip}\hfill\rule{3in}{0.1pt}\hfill} +\endinput diff --git a/macros/latex/contrib/scalebar/scalebar.ins b/macros/latex/contrib/scalebar/scalebar.ins new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..af2287fba7 --- /dev/null +++ b/macros/latex/contrib/scalebar/scalebar.ins @@ -0,0 +1,55 @@ +%% +%% Copyright (C) 2003 by Michael Lake +%% +%% This file may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of +%% the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.2 of this license +%% or (at your option) any later version.
