让 pstree 的 圆圈节点 Tcircle 保持一样大小 | Make all Tcircle nodes in pstree a fixed size

最近要用latex画树,决定学习pstricks,pstree还是蛮好用的,但是用Tcircle画节点时发现一个问题,每个圆圈的大小是与内容有关的,比如字母a和f的圆圈就不一样大,很难看。

在pstrick的文档里看了半天也没弄出个所以然,然后又搜了半天,才发现可以用makebox,原来这么简单,但是我对latex还是不熟练。

解法为:

\Tcircle{\makebox[\somefixedsize][c]{content}}



I need to draw some trees in latex, so I learned some pstricks, I found pstree is rather easy to use, but there's somethings with the Tcircle, the size of the circles is related to its content, for example for circles for 'a' and 'f' are not of the same size, which makes the tree very ugly.

I didn't found anything useful in the pstrick's document, after rather some time searching on the web, I realized that I can take advantage of makebox, that's a easy but great idea, however I was still not familiar enough with latex...

The solution is:

\Tcircle{\makebox[\somefixedsize][c]{content}}

Determine Perspective Lines With Off-page Vanishing Point

In perspective drawing, a vanishing point represents a group of parallel lines, in other words, a direction. For any point on the paper, if we want a line towards the same direction (in the 3d space), we simply draw a line through it and the vanishing point. But sometimes the vanishing point is too far away, such that it is outside the paper/canvas. In this example, we have a point P and two perspective lines L1 and L2. The vanishing point VP is naturally the intersection of L1 and L2. The task is to draw a line through P and VP, without having VP on the paper. I am aware of a few traditional solutions: 1. Use extra pieces of paper such that we can extend L1 and L2 until we see VP. 2. Draw everything in a smaller scale, such that we can see both P and VP on the paper. Draw the line and scale everything back. 3. Draw a perspective grid using the Brewer Method. #1 and #2 might be quite practical. #3 may not guarantee a solution, unless we can measure distances/p...

Qubes OS: First Impressions

A few days ago, while browsing security topics online, Qubes OS surfaced—whether via YouTube recommendations or search results, I can't recall precisely. Intrigued by its unique approach to security through compartmentalization, I delved into the documentation and watched some demos. My interest was piqued enough that I felt compelled to install it and give it a try firsthand. My overall first impression of Qubes OS is highly positive. Had I discovered it earlier, I might have reconsidered starting my hardware password manager project. Conceptually, Qubes OS is not much different from running a bunch of virtual machines simultaneously. However, its brilliance lies in the seamless desktop integration and the well-designed template system, making it far more user-friendly than a manual VM setup. I was particularly impressed by the concept of disposable VMs for temporary tasks and the clear separation of critical functions like networking (sys-net) and USB handling (sys-usb) into the...

Exploring Immutable Distros and Declarative Management

My current server setup, based on Debian Stable and Docker, has served me reliably for years. It's stable, familiar, and gets the job done. However, an intriguing article I revisited recently about Fedora CoreOS, rpm-ostree, and OSTree native containers sparked my curiosity and sent me down a rabbit hole exploring alternative approaches to system management. Could there be a better way? Core Goals & Requirements Before diving into new technologies, I wanted to define what "better" means for my use case: The base operating system must update automatically and reliably. Hosted services (applications) should be updatable either automatically or manually, depending on the service. Configuration and data files need to be easy to modify, and crucially, automatically tracked and backed up. Current Setup: Debian Stable + Docker My current infrastructure consists of several servers, all running Debian Stable. System Updates are andled automatically via unattended-upgrades. Se...
