Hi all, For a few months now, all features of tikz have not been working with LMTX. After help from Hans and a bit of trial and error, I think that figured out what was going wrong with the catcodes in m-tikz: Since the texcatcodes are different from what tikz expects, the catcodes have to be set inside \starttikzpicture (in addition to before the loading of tikz files, which was already being done). I am attaching the working m-tikz.mkxl file. I have tested this on my course notes, which make extensive use of simple tikz block diagrams and pgfplots graphs. Perhaps others who were having issues with tikz could test if this fixes everything and, if so, we can add this to the distribution. Aditya

Circuitikz still doesn't work. Even loading the module fails. Not sure why this is happening: \usemodule[circuitikz] gives: tex error > tex error on line 77 in file /opt/luametatex/texmf-context/tex/context/modules/mkxl/m-circuitikz.mkxl: Package pgfkeys Error: I do not know the key '/tikz/resistor', to which you passed 'american', and I am going to ignore it. Perhaps you misspelled it <macro> \pgfkeys@error which is a bit strange as the key should have been '/tikz/circuitikz/resistor' rather than 'tikz/resistor'. Aditya

It works for me on texlive 2023 with your new module file. -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/
Hi fellow Tik-Z users, Tik-Z, including circuitikz, is working for me after adding two files from Hans to a slightly older version of ConTeXt (ver: 2023.02.07 19:06 LMTX fmt: 2023.3.14). I do not know if these files are of any use with the current versions, but I am quoting a list email from January (including the files) just in case it helps anyone with the present problems. Gavin
Hi Hans, Fabrice, and List,
Now it is working for me. I had installed the new upload. I also needed to put the two new files from Hans’ earlier email (m-tikz-pgfplots.tex and m-tikz-pgfplotstable.tex) in the right spot (tex/texmf-context/tex/context/modules/mkxl) and run "mtxrun --generate”. I’m not sure if I was also supposed to put the third file from the earlier email in this spot also, but I didn’t, and it works.
I am still getting some new errors in specific files, but I will spend some time tracking down the source of those errors before starting a new thread. That might be a while, because all of the things I need for my current work are now working.
I’ve re-attached those two files from the earlier email from Hans so anyone reading this doesn’t need to hunt for them.
Thanks for the fixes!
Gavin

These are already part of the distribution. Just one caveat: you need to use \usemodule[tikz] \usemodule[pgfplots] Directly loading \usemodule[pgfplots] will not work as the t-pgfplots module explicitly loads t-tikz, which does not work with LMTX. Aditya

Is it possible to create a standalone test that does not depend on a bunch of datafiles that need to be downloaded? Thanks, Aditya

A 5 year old circuitikz module in $TEXMFHOME, which was interfering! Everything appears to be working now at my end as well. @Hans, could we add the m-tikz.mkxl file that I sent to the distribution. Thanks, Aditya

After help from Hans and a bit of trial and error, I think that figured out what was going wrong with the catcodes in m-tikz: Since the texcatcodes are different from what tikz expects, the catcodes have to be set inside \starttikzpicture (in addition to before the loading of tikz files, which was already being done).
I am attaching the working m-tikz.mkxl file.
I have tested this on my course notes, which make extensive use of simple tikz block diagrams and pgfplots graphs. Perhaps others who were having issues with tikz could test if this fixes everything and, if so, we can add this to the distribution. So, what is needed from tikz?
"graphics/pgf/base/pgf.tds.zip", "graphics/pgf/contrib/pgfplots.tds.zip", "graphics/pgf/contrib/circuitikz.tds.zip", Is there more that should be installed as reasonable basic set? I made a script that does fetch/installs it (and also wipes latex / plain /useless stuff afterwards including some shell etc scripts as we don't want those either - security risk etc -). Not being a tikz user I have no preferences but we can add some test files to the test suite if needed.

I believe that these are the most popular ones.

Does that mean that these will be now included as part of the lmtx install?

It may be good to add some basic files (e.g., the ones that I sent to you off-list) so that we may know if these packages break again. Aditya
