Within the Datatool package, we find the currency data type.



A currency data type is a currency symbol followed by an integer or real number.



How can I extract the currency symbol out of a currency data ??



documentclassarticle

usepackagedatatool

newcommandsplitCurrency[1]%
 noindent Splitting #1 into its value and symbol parts:
 DTLifcurrency#1% Check: Is #1 currency?
 % Check: #1 is currency !
 \The value: DTLconverttodecimal#1theValue theValue%
 \The symbol: ??
 % Check: #1 is not currency !
 Not a currency !
 %

splitCurrency$ 123%

          After running DTLifcurrency or the internal equivalent @dtl@checknumerical, the currency symbol is stored in @dtl@currency, so you can use

          • @JosephMarie I do not understand your question. Why would you have to repeat expandaftertheCurrencyrelax? expandaftertheCurrencyrelax would try to expand the non-expandable relax, so expandafter is useless here.

            @JosephMarie that's imho a bug in datatool, it fails if the value starts with something that could be a currency. Your expandafter command hides this. You could also use relaxsymbol. I wrote Nicola a mail.

          • Very elegant solution! How does the argument parsing system knowns that he has to split into "text-value" at defsplitCurrencyA#1#2; ?

            Aug 16 at 10:15










          • The currency symbol is only one character or a macro (#1) and the rest until the ; will be the value (#2), that‘s all.

          • Very elegant solution! How does the argument parsing system knowns that he has to split into "text-value" at defsplitCurrencyA#1#2; ?

          • The currency symbol is only one character or a macro (#1) and the rest until the ; will be the value (#2), that‘s all.

          How to combine Bézier curves to a surface?

          圖片
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite My aim is to smooth the terrain in a video game. Therefore I contrived an algorithm that makes use of Bézier curves of different orders. But this algorithm is defined in a two dimensional space for now. To shift it into the third dimension I need to somehow combine the Bézier curves. Given two curves in each two dimensions, how can I combine them to build a surface? I thought about something like a curve of a curve. Or maybe I could multiply them somehow. How can I combine them to cause the wanted behavior? Is there a common approach? In the image you can see the input, on the left, and the output, on the right, of the algorithm that works in a two dimensional space. For the real application there is a three dimensional input. The algorithm relays only on the adjacent tiles. Given these it will define the control points of the mentioned Bézier cur...
