I'm designing a labeled circle and so far it's been a struggle of finding the perfect vertical position for a one letter label.  Currently I have two options.    Which one seems better centered?

I'm currently working on a logo for a client. Here is the work in progress.   It seems obvious to me that the S should align with the line above. I feel that the best way of aligning it however is to align the bottom part of the S rather than the top curve, even thought the top curve does protrude more. See the following example   Also at the other end of the logo, the A I feel can do something similar, minimising the white space triangle at the end of the logo    The end result I think is more pleasing in its alignment   I feel that this is correct, but my client is questioning it. This alignment is a habit I have picked up during my career, so I haven't been formally taught this, in fact I can't remember where I picked this up.   Tell me, have I picked up a bad habit here? Is my client correct? If this is correct does this type of alignment have a name? Or is there an article somewhere I can refer my client to?

In the question , there was an answer to how to place additional sign over the equal sign. And my question is, what if I also want to have some symbol/text under the equal sign? Or if I want to use \stackrel to label my equal sign that follows an tab alignment character (&amp;=)?

In a beamer presentation, I am using the following code to add logos on my title page:  \titlegraphic{   \includegraphics[width=3cm]{logo-lirmm.png}   \hspace*{0.75cm}~%   \includegraphics[width=3cm]{logo-york.png}   \hspace*{0.75cm}~%   \includegraphics[width=3cm]{logo-dc.png} }   This code aligns vertically the three logos at the bottom. How can I center them vertically?

What is the  difference between \node and \coordinate in TikZ? Exchanging them does no visual effect in my (to be honest: still simple) pictures.  When to use what?

I have the following type of code in my document:  \begin{align*}        (-m)+m &amp; \stackrel{\mathrm{Ax 1.1 (i)}}{=}  m+(-m)\\   &amp;\stackrel{\mathrm{Ax 1.4}}{=}  0 \   I want to align on the = but that is complicated by the fact that there is something hovering over it.  It would seem to be easier to align their centers (no matter what, that is where the = will be).  How can I center a column in align (or align* to be honest, I am not that clear on the difference)

I'm a Software Engineer willing to learn more about design stuff. I've been trying to create a logo for a project and I am stuck trying to use curved lines. When moving anchors points, I'm having trouble with positioning dX and dY because of my trackpad's lack of precision. Is there a way to manually set dX and dY position in Illustrator?  Picture Example: Can't set dY to 12px.

I am trying to label two curved paths connecting two nodes with labels placed at their centres using the node[midway] option. This is something that should be very simple but I have not been able to come up with something that works. Here is my MWE with my question as two comments:  \documentclass[crop,border=0]{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[&gt;=latex]     \node [draw,rectangle] (Start) {Start};     \node [draw,rectangle] (Finish) [right=2cm] {Finish};     \draw [-&gt;,out=90,in=90,looseness=0.75] (Start.north) to (Finish.north);     % I want to label this path using [midway,below] as {forward}     \draw [-&gt;,out=-90,in=-90,looseness=0.75] (Finish.south) to (Start.south);     % I want to label this path using [midway,above] as {reverse} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}   Can someone please point me in the right direction.  I also appreciate comments to improve code elegance or simplicity.  Thank you.

After reading this question , I want to know the answer of the following.  When should we use \begin{center} instead of \centering?  For example, should we use this one?  {% \centering &lt;other contents&gt; }   or this one?  \begin{center} &lt;other contents&gt; \end{center}

What's the best way to denote a 90 degree angle with german convention like on the following picture in tikz:    Suppose I start with something like this:  \documentclass{article}  \usepackage{tikz}  \begin{document}  \begin{tikzpicture}    \coordinate (O) at (0,0); %    \coordinate (A) at (1,1); %    \coordinate (B) at (1,-1); %     \draw (O) -- (A); %    \draw (O) -- (B); %  \end{tikzpicture}   \end{document}

I have a point feature class that I am labelling with the string "EXIT" for a majority of points, but some points will be longer, such as "EXIT into Pacific".  I wrote a labeling script that will create a new line after "EXIT", but not after "into" because I want to keep "into Pacific" on one line.  I want the label to show up like this:       EXIT  into Pacific   But instead, it automatically creates a new line and shows up like this:       EXIT      into     Pacific   Is there a way to keep ArcMap from automatically creating a new line for the label? Or is there a good invisible character that will make the program think that "into Pacific" is one string with no white space?  Here's my script:  function FindLabel ([TYPE]){ var exitSlice var intoSlice intoSlice = "" var label var field field = [TYPE] exitSlice = field.slice(0, 4) if (field.length &gt; 4) {     intoSlice = field.slice(5)     label = exitSlice + "\n" + "&lt;ITA&gt;&lt;FNT name='Melior' size='8'&gt;" + intoSlice + "&lt;/FNT&gt;&lt;/ITA&gt;"     } else {     label = exitSlice     } return label}   I'm pretty confident the script isn't causing the extra newline between "into" and "Pacific".

This is an absolutely minor/cosmetic problem. I can e.g. use stackrel so combine two math-symbols vertically. This is nice for \stackrel{!}{=}. But how to do this horizontally? I want to combine (only once, no newcommand necessary) the colon and an equivalence sign. I found the option \mathrel{: \equiv} which allows different versions like:  :\equiv  \quad \mathrel{: \equiv} \quad \mathrel{: \!\! \equiv} \quad \mathrel{: \!\! \!\! \!\! \equiv}     So I can shift the horizontal position. But like to achieve that the colon is centered regarding the vertical position. Like the blue version:    Again: if I use stackrel is combines two symbols vertically and centered! If I use mathrel is combines two symbols horizontally but not centered somehow.  I am eager to see your solutions.

I would like to draw in chemfig the following picture:    But I am struggling with the "+" sign in the middle of the circle. Is there a way to draw it? Thank you!  What I have so far is this:  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{chemfig} \begin{document}  \chemfig{   N**[0,-150,dash pattern=on 2pt off 2pt]5(     (-R)-(-R^1)-[,,1,2]{+\hspace{0.3cm}}|{O}-[,,2,1]--   ) }  \end{document}   which does the work, but I really don't like the way it is done (e.g. it does not scale).

In Illustrator, how do you align text in the exact center of a shape for example without creating outlines. If I go to center text using the align palette, Illustrator aligns the text to it's bounding box.  I know you can create outlines, but I want the text to remain editable in case I need to make changes later.  Any thoughts?

The output from the following script \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{graphicx} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}   \node(title)[text width = 0.25\textwidth, text height = 3 cm, draw]{title};   \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}  is  How can I vertically align the text in the node? Specifying the text depth as in \node(title)[text width = 0.25\textwidth, text height = 1cm, text depth = 1 cm, draw]{     title line 1\\     title line 2\\     title line 3};  Does not result in the text being vertically centred.

What are the options that can be considered an alternative to the old  symbol ?  I would like to denote a small break in the flow of the text, I noticed that this days many people like to just add more whitespace than the usual new line; but still, I would like to use a symbol, a more explicit glyph and I don't know if there are more "modern" ways to express this.

I'd like to put one symbol over another? There are some similar things in math, like $\binom{a}{b}$, but I don't want the parentheses, or $\frac{a}{b}$ without the division line.  The closest I've found is $\overset{a}{b}$ (from mathtools) but the a ends up smaller than the b.

How does one write on the outside of a circle?  I am looking for sample files/packages which imitate a magazine lay-out. Specifically a page with two columns having a circular picture between the two columns.    Example of the desired layout, created using Word:
