Custom shape shows unwanted extra line












3















documentclass{article}

usepackage{tikz}

begin{document}

begin{tikzpicture}

draw (-4.261,2.617)..controls (2.5,1.5) and (-4.5,-3)..(3.908,-3.118) -- (-4.261,2.617) arc (148.44:321.42:5);

end{tikzpicture}

end{document}


This is supposed to be a closed custom shape WITHOUT the straight line!

How can I get rid of this unwanted line?



Putting '-- cycle' at the end makes no difference.

    You have an extra -- (-4.261,2.617) which draws a straight line to the start point of the path. Remove that and swap the start and end angles of the arc: draw (-4.261,2.617)..controls (2.5,1.5) and (-4.5,-3)..(3.908,-3.118) arc (321.42:148.44:5);.

  • @PhelypeOleinik Yes, that's the probably best solution here. You should write an answer.

I saw Phelype's comment and deleted the post. Now I am undeleting it per request. But I will be happy to delete it again. In any case, full credits go to Phelype Oleinik, who was the first to propose a solution.



In fact, I like Phelype's proposal better than "just removing the line". Here is why:



documentclass{article}

usepackage{tikz}

begin{document}

Reversing the arc:

begin{tikzpicture}

draw[fill=blue] (-4.261,2.617)..controls (2.5,1.5) and (-4.5,-3)..(3.908,-3.118) 

 arc (321.42:148.44:5);

end{tikzpicture}



Just removing the line:

begin{tikzpicture}

draw[fill=red] (-4.261,2.617)..controls (2.5,1.5) and (-4.5,-3)..(3.908,-3.118)

      (-4.261,2.617) arc (148.44:321.42:5);

end{tikzpicture}

end{document}


enter image description here



The blue corresponds to what I would suggest, namely reversing the arc, and the red one "removing the line", which works at the level of the contour but does not yield a continuous path.

            ASUS Zenbook UX433/UX333 — Configure Touchpad-embedded numpad on Linux

            Image
            0 1 I have an ASUS Zenbook UX433,on which ASUS decided to innovate by embedding a Numpad inside the touchpad (see picture 1). Toggling between classic touchpad mode and numpad (also turns the touchpad LEDs on) can be done through the golden button in the top-right corner of the touchpad. However, on my Manjaro arch Linux config, this behavior does not work by default and I can only use the touchpad, no numpad. Has anyone been able to configure the numpad to work on Linux, or have any idea how this could be achieved? EDIT1: I have had a look at the official Windows drivers for the UX433FA TouchPad, but was not able to make anything of it. I tried installing them on Linux using tools like NDISWrapper, but they do not detect the TouchPad/Numpad hardware, and my understanding of drivers is too limited. ...
