I'd like to do a drawing for a recursive sequence :  \documentclass{article}  \usepackage{tikz}  \begin{document} \begin{center}   \begin{tikzpicture}[rectangle, rounded corners=2pt, minimum     width=1cm, minimum height=0.6cm, &gt;=latex]     \node[draw] (u0) at (0,0) {$u_0$};     \node[draw] (u1) at (3,0) {$u_1=f(u_0)$};     \draw[-&gt;] (u0) to[bend right=50] (u1) node[midway, below]{$f$};     \node[draw] (u2) at (6,0) {$u_2=f(u_1)$};     \draw[-&gt;] (u1) to[bend right=40] (u2) node[midway, below]{$f$};   \end{tikzpicture} \end{center} \end{document}   But I get all the "$f$" labels below the (u0) node.  Can someone explain what I am doing wrong ?  Thanks.
Here is my problematic code:  \begin{tikzpicture} \draw  (0,0)  to [bend left=20] (3,3) node[midway] {midway label}; \end{tikzpicture}   I wanted to put a label midway of the line, but instead the label is at (0,0).  If I remove [bend left=20], the line is not bent, and the label still misplaced. If I remove to and replace it by --, then it works fine, but my line is not bent any more.  \begin{tikzpicture} \draw (0,0) -- (3,3) node[midway] {midway label}; \end{tikzpicture}   Works fine.  The problem occurs with MacTeX 2011 and MacTeX 2012.
Would like to emulate google maps' driving directions functionality but use pgRouting instead. google's data over the project area &amp; scale is quite a bit off so we want to use our own transport network data in postGIS.  any hints?  thanks. I want to append several shapefiles in QGIS. The ftools 0.6.1 add-on is installed.   But under Vektor>Datenmanagement-Werkzeuge>Shapedateien zu einer zusammenführen (=append shapefiles) is only the possiblility to choose the Eingabedatei (input file) and the Ausgabedatei (output file) but not a further Datei (file) for the append itself? (Even though there are  several shapefiles in the same folder)  //Furthermore the icon "In neue Projektion exportieren" (export to new projection) is also not appearing under the: Vektor>Datenmanagement-Werkzeuge? Do I need a further add-on?//  Has anyone an idea why I can't choose a shapefile for the appending?  Thanks in advance! phil Blender Internal glossy BSDF equivalent? Output of Logistic Regression Prediction Intuitive explanation for dividing by $n-1$ when calculating standard deviation? I was asked today in class why you divide the sum of square error by $n-1$ instead of with $n$, when calculating the standard deviation.  I said I am not going to answer it in class (since I didn't wanna go into unbiased estimators), but later I wondered - is there an intuitive explanation for this?! I have a 3D truck model already textured and properly imported into Blender. This is a game model and I need to "re-paint" with design from other transport companies. The problem is that I don't have a UV layout (skin template) to serve as a guide for future paintings.  Is there a way to "extract" an UV Layout to .JPG or .PNG to serve as guide for .DDS texture editing?  Please note that I don't want to remap the model. I still want to use the actual UV Mapping and just need to edit the actual textures. Proof of dividing fractional expressions For dividing two fractional expressions, how does the division sign turns into multiplication? Is there a step by step proof which proves  $$\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \cdot \frac{d}{c}=\frac{ad}{bc}?$$ Separate labels in cases A Strict Sense Stationary (SSS) process implies it is a Wide Sense Stationary (WSS) process - proof Looking for a mathematical proof which shows that a Strict Sense Stationary (SSS) process is necessarily a Wide Sense Stationary (WSS) process. Determining confidence interval with one observation (for Poisson distribution) I have ran into some issues when it went down to install Steam on Debian. The console as well as Apper comes up with missing dependencies  and the package isn't going to install. Remove a child with a specific attribute, in SimpleXML for PHP I have several identical elements with different attributes that I'm accessing with SimpleXML:  &lt;data&gt;     &lt;seg id="A1"/&gt;     &lt;seg id="A5"/&gt;     &lt;seg id="A12"/&gt;     &lt;seg id="A29"/&gt;     &lt;seg id="A30"/&gt; &lt;/data&gt;   I need to remove a specific seg element, with an id of "A12", how can I do this?  I've tried looping through the seg elements and unsetting the specific one, but this doesn't work, the elements remain.  foreach($doc-&gt;seg as $seg) {     if($seg['id'] == 'A12')     {         unset($seg);     } } restrict 1 word as case sensitive and other as case insensitive in python regex | (pipe) What is safe to exclude for a full system backup? How to show only hidden files in Terminal? I have a directory that contains thousands of files, some of them are hidden.  The command ls -a list all files, including hidden ones, but I need just to list hidden files.  What command should I use? I need to get the size of directory in terminal for signing purposes. I'm using following command:  du -s /path/to/dir   I'm multiplying the result by traditional UNIX block size (512 bytes) and get actual directory size in bytes. However, the Finder's "Get Info" dialog window shows the size slightly smaller than the one calculated with the terminal command. And it seems that it's reproducible on any folder/bundle. What am I missing? Thread Confinement I haven't been able to do this exercise:     Let $f: A \rightarrow B$ be any function. $f^{-1}(X)$ is the inverse   image of $X$. Demonstrate that if $f$ is surjective then $X = f(f^{-1}(X))$ where $X \subseteq B$.   Since $X \subseteq B$, all the elements in $X$ belong to the codomain of $f$.  Since $f$ is surjective, it means that all elements in the codomain $B$ have some preimage in $A$. Given that $X \subseteq B$, all elements in $X$ must also have a preimage in $A$.  Have $\triangle = f^{-1}(X)$, $\triangle$ is now a set containing the preimages of the elements in $X$. Because of this, $\triangle \subseteq A$.  If we evaluate $f(\triangle)$, we...... nope, I don't know what I'm doing now.    What do you think? What is the maximum number of downvotes a question can have I was just wondering what the maximum number of down votes a question can have before it is removed from StackOverflow. What is a word to describe inefficient communication? Example 1 - When reviewing résumés I don't want someone to use 1.5 pages to describe one job.   Example 2 - When a person uses excessive description to answer a simple question.
