pgf gallery

February 14th, 2007

I just discovered a nice gallery of pgf examples. This is a figure from Rumelhart and McClelland 1986 showing the structure of their model of parallel distributed processing. I am posting this example there, and here as well. First of all the picture:
parallel distributed processing

And next the latex code: (notice the foreach loops - very cool!!!)

\documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{arrows} \begin{document} \begin{figure*}[htbp] \centering \begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.8,cap=round] % Styles \tikzstyle{information text}=[text badly centered] % The graphic \begin{scope} \pgfsetarrowsend{stealth'} \pgfsetlinewidth{1pt} \draw (1,.9) -- (1,1.8) node[below=.9cm,text width=3cm,style=information text] {\small Phonological representation of root form }; \draw (5,-.2) -- (5,.8) node[below=.9cm,text width=3cm, style=information text] { \small Wickelfeature representation of root form }; \draw (11,-.2) -- (11,.8) node[below=.9cm,text width=3cm, style=information text] { \small Wickelfeature representation of past tense }; \draw (16,0.9) -- (16,1.8) node[below=.9cm,text width=3cm, style=information text] { \small Phonological representation of past tense }; \end{scope} \draw (3,6) node[text width=3cm, style=information text] { \small Fixed Encoding Network }; \draw (8,6) node[text width=4cm, style=information text] { \small Pattern Associator Modifiable Connections }; \draw (13.5,6) node[text width=3cm, style=information text] { \small Decoding/Binding Network }; % draw the nodes \foreach \x in {1,16} \foreach \y in {2,3,4} { \draw (\x,\y) circle (0.1cm); } \foreach \x in {5,11} \foreach \y in {1,2,3,4,5} { \draw (\x,\y) circle (0.1cm); } % we add the lines for the nodes starting in y 2,3, and 4 \foreach \xa / \xb in {1.1 / 4.9, 5.1 / 10.9 , 10.9 / 5.1 , 15.9 / 11.1} \foreach \ya / \yb / \yc / \yd / \ye in {2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 1, 3 / 4 / 5 / 1 / 2, 4 / 5 / 1 / 2 / 3} { \draw (\xa,\ya) -- (\xb,\ya); \draw (\xa,\ya) -- (\xb,\yb); \draw (\xa,\ya) -- (\xb,\yc); \draw (\xa,\ya) -- (\xb,\yd); \draw (\xa,\ya) -- (\xb,\ye); } % add remaining lines from y1 to y5 \foreach \xa / \xb in {5.1 / 10.9 , 10.9 / 5.1} \foreach \ya / \yb in {1 / 5, 5 / 1} { \draw (\xa,\ya) -- (\xb,\ya); \draw (\xa,\ya) -- (\xb,\yb); } \end{tikzpicture} \caption[Model structure from Rumelhart \& McClelland 1986]% {Model structure from Rumelhart \& McClelland (1986, p .222, Figure 1)} \label{F:PDP} \end{figure*} \end{document}

    The picture looks cool, but how much coding has gone into it. is it worth doing all the hard coding.
