I've recently been using the Edward Tufte inspired style file (the handout option) for my documents and a Gantt chart package. However, if I put \usepackage{gantt}
in my preamble it prevents some code that previously worked fine (a set of frameboxes in a figure environment), from working. Is there any way around this issue? I assume it is something to do with the namespace of variables in each package, but I don't know enough latex markup to be able to inspect this.
I'm using TeXshop on a Mac with OSX, and have both .sty files in the folder where I am working. The problem appears to be with this structure:
\framebox(150,150){\includegraphics[width=0.3\linewidth]{image1.pdf}}
where I make a framebox (and place an image in the framebox, though the error occurs without any image in there).
Here is the code that I am using:
\documentclass[justified,marginals=raggedright]{tufte-handout}% justification
%\geometry{showframe}% for debugging purposes -- displays the margins
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{gantt}
% Set up the images/graphics package
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{minibox}
\setkeys{Gin}{width=\linewidth,totalheight=\textheight,keepaspectratio}
\graphicspath{{graphics/}}

Best Answer
I'm posting this as an answer, because it is an answer to your question, even though your question is not, in fact, the right question. There is no conflict between
tufte-handout
andgantt.sty
; if you had produced a true minimal document to find what was causing the problem, you would have discovered this yourself. (This is why constructing minimal documents is both important and informative.) Here is a minimal document that shows the problem you are having:This shows that there is a problem with
gantt.sty
and the\framebox
command. A look atgantt.sty
reveals the problem: it globally sets a value for\unitlength
(1cm) instead of defining its own length.\unitlength
is also used in the\framebox
command and which tries to make a square 150cm on a side, which is a little bigger than the page.The fix to
gantt.sty
is relatively simple, but needs to be done carefully.\newlength{\ganttunitlength}
\unitlength
in the style with\ganttunitlength
\makeatletter
and\makeatother
from gantt.sty (they shouldn't be used in packages)\usepackage
to\RequirePackage
(equivalent package command)\ProvidesPackage{gantt.sty}[2011/03/14 Gantt diagrams]
as the first lineClearly
gantt.sty
wasn't quite ready for primetime. I've sent its author a fixed version.UPDATE: There is now a new version of
gantt.sty
posted on the author's web site.
