TeX - LaTeX Asked by Sean Danaher on September 2, 2021
The Pinoutikz package is fairly new and there is very little information available. It enables symbolic pinout diagrams for different package classes, such as DIP, PLCC to be drawn very easily. It is simple to use and works well for what I want to do. However, I want to add annotation to the basic drawing. It is based on Tikz and I hope there is some way to use the packages together. The following minimal example draws the two figures side by side but I want to incorporate the PDIP inside a tikzpicture.
If however I move the PDIP…. inside the tikzpicture I get an error. I could generate an image with PDIP and pull it back into tikz but that seems very inelegant. Is there an easier way?
usepackage{pinoutikz}
begin{document}
begin{figure}[h]
begin{tikzpicture}
draw[thick,rounded corners=8pt](0,0)-- (0,2)-- (1,3.25)-- (2,2)-- (2,0)-- (0,2)-- (2,2)-- (0,0);
end{tikzpicture}
PDIP(4){1/{E},2/B,3/NC,4/C}
end{figure}
end{document}
I think that this is design flaw in the pinoutikz package (sorry!). All of the commands provided by the package, like PDIP
, create tikzpicture
environments but none of them provide a "hook" for injecting code into the underlying tikzpicture
environment. To "fix" this we need to be add an argument to each command. The only way that I can see to do this is to copy the code out of pinoutikz.sty
and then redefine the command so that it is exactly the same as before except that it now has an optional argument for adding tikz
commands to the pin.
Implementing this, the new version of PDIP
is used in exactly the same way as before except that it now accepts an optional argument that excepts tikz
code. With this in place, the code
PDIP
[
draw[thick,rounded corners=8pt](0,0)-- (0,2)-- (1,3.25)-- (2,2)-- (2,0)-- (0,2)-- (2,2)-- (0,0);
](4){1/{E},2/B,3/NC,4/C}
from your MWE produces:
Here is the full code:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{pinoutikz}
usepackage{xparse}
%% PDIP package diagram
%% @param#1: optional tikz commands
%% @param#2: number of pins (divisible by 2)
%% @param#3: comma separated definitions list for every pin - every pin definition must be enclosed in quotation marks ("")

end{figure}
end{document}
Edit
If we are going to hack the definition of PDIP
like this we might improve it slightly and add node names frame
and pin1
, pin2
, ... to make it easier to annotate the pin... It is also tempting to remove the pin number from macro but I didn't do this because the current syntax allows pins to be omitted, which might be useful.
With the updated code you can produce:
using:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{pinoutikz}
usepackage{xparse}
%% PDIP package diagram
%% @param#1: optional tikz commands
%% @param#2: number of pins (divisible by 2)
%% @param#3: comma separated definitions list for every pin - every pin definition must be enclosed in quotation marks ("")
RenewDocumentCommandPDIP{ O{} r() m }{%

pgfmathsetmacrocntpinsl{#2/2-1}
pgfmathsetmacrocntstr{#2/2}
pgfmathsetmacrocntpinsr{#2-1}
pgfmathsetmacroheight{cntstr*.5+0.5}
node[rectangle, line width=1.5pt, minimum height=height cm, minimum width=1.88cm,
draw, anchor=south west] (plate) at (0,-0.5) {};
draw ([xshift=-2mm]plate.north) arc (180:360:2mm);
%iterate through pin definitions
foreach pinnum/i in {#3}%
{%
pgfmathsetmacropinidx{pinnum-1}
pgfmathsetmacropinrange{(pinnum>0 && pinnum<(cntstr+1)) ? 0 : 1}
ifthenelse{equal{pinrange}{0} }
{%
pgfmathsetmacroypin{(cntpinsl-pinidx)*0.5}
coordinate (pinpinnum) at (0,ypin);
PIN[left](pinpinnum){i}{pinnum}
}%else
{%
pgfmathsetmacroypin{(pinidx-cntstr)*0.5}
coordinate (pinpinnum) at (1.88,ypin);
PIN[right](pinpinnum){i}{pinnum}

}
}#1
end{scope}
end{tikzpicture}
}
letNewPDIP
begin{document}
begin{figure}[h]
