I am quite new at using LaTeX, however now I need to draw an 8×8 Karnaugh map. I have already found many helpful codes on this topic, however when I try to modify those codes the result is simply messy.
I would appreciate the help, I am lost 🙂

I highly recommend kvmacros. It isn't your average package which you can simply use with \usepackage{}, instead you have to manually install it, but this should not be a problem.
It is not the most intuitive, but if you play with it a little, you'll get the idea. So, here how the code could look:
\documentclass{article}
\input{kvmacros}
\begin{document}
\karnaughmap{5}{}%
{{$x_1$}{$x_4$}{$x_2$}{$x_5$}{$x_3$}}%
{%
0011011001101000%
0110011011001000%
}%
{%
%Single Ones
\put(2.5,3.5){\oval(0.9,0.9)[]}
\put(1.5,0.5){\oval(0.9,0.9)[]}
\put(7.5,2.5){\oval(0.9,0.9)[]}
\put(0.5,1.5){\oval(0.9,0.9)[]}
%Pairs of Ones
\put(1,2.5){\oval(1.9,0.9)[]}
\put(4,2.5){\oval(1.9,0.9)[]}
\put(6,3.5){\oval(1.9,0.9)[]}
\put(7,0.5){\oval(1.9,0.9)[]}
\put(4,0.5){\oval(1.9,0.9)[]}
}
\end{document}
And most importantly the result:
I am assuming every not 1 is 0 (else simply use ~). If you don't need the number in each square, you could just put \kvnoindex in front, for other options just consult the documentation.
EDIT: This might be more than was asked, but here is another example, with a more fancy result.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[dvipsnames]{xcolor}
\input{kvmacros}
\begin{document}
\karnaughmap{5}{$f(x_i)$}%
{{$x_1$}{$x_2$}{$x_3$}{$x_4$}{$x_5$}}%
{%
0011011001100110%
0110011001000110%
}%
{%
%Single Ones
\textcolor{Blue}{
\put(2.5,3.5){\oval(0.9,0.9)[]}
\put(7.5,2.5){\oval(0.9,0.9)[]}
\put(0.5,1.5){\oval(0.9,0.9)[]}}
%Pairs of Ones
\put(1,2.5){\oval(1.9,0.9)[]}
%Quadruples of Ones
\textcolor{Yellow}{
\put(4,2){\oval(1.9,1.9)[]}}%
\textcolor{Green}{
\put(6,4){\oval(1.9,1.9)[b]}
\put(6,0){\oval(1.9,1.9)[t]}}%
\textcolor{Red}{
\put(5,0.5){\oval(3.9,0.9)[r]}
\put(3,0.5){\oval(3.9,0.9)[l]}}
}
\end{document}
Here the result:
Have Fun!
According to the documentation (see here) removing the star at the start of the
karnaugh-mapenvironment is the right way. It should be\begin{karnaugh-map}[4][2][1][$yz$][$x$]then.Without making changes to the source code of the package itself this does not seem to be possible as the positions for the labels are "hardcoded" (source code). If you comment out lines 250 to 268 inside
karnaugh-map.styyou could play a little bit based on this code:\documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{karnaugh-map} \begin{document} \begin{karnaugh-map}[4][2][1][$yz$][$x$] \maxterms{0,2,3} \minterms{1,4,5,6,7} \autoterms[X] \implicant{4}{6} \implicant{1}{5} \node at (-0.25,2.5) {$yz$}; % row name \node at (-0.6,2.25) {$x$}; % column name \draw[ultra thin] (0,2) -- (-1,2.75); % diagonal line \end{karnaugh-map} \end{document}
Best Answer
With the
kvmappackage you can input your Karnaugh map like a tabular. This works even for very large sizes (I just tested 64x64 fields), so it is definitely able to typeset an 8x8 map.If you want to draw implicants you can use the
\bundlemacro and pass the coordinates of the corners to it. For further explanation see the old answer (which explains the code a bit better).Full code example:

The following code will produce Karnaugh maps in any size you want it to have (tested for some 2n) as TikZ pictures. You input your map like you would input a table in LaTeX using the
kvmatrixenvironment. The only argument of this environment is a comma-separated list of your variable names. Therefore a simple 2x2 matrix would look likeThere is a second environment provided,
kvmap, which is basically a tikzpicture (but for the sake of semantic consistency). You should use this if you are planning to work with the fields. Each field is named by its x- and y-index in the following way:xy(where00is the top-left corner andnmis the bottom-right corner with n+1 and m+1 as the dimensions of your matrix, e.g.11for a 2x2 matrix).The code is also able to draw borders around cells which can be bundled. Therefore you would use the command
\package[options]{x1}{y1}{x2}{y2}with the coordinates of the corners of the rectangle. If the package should be open to the margin use theinvertoption (if the coordinates are at the outer-most rows/columns; theoverlapmarginsoption specifies how far the bundle is drawn into the margin). You can color a package with thecoloroption and to avoid overlapping with other packages specify a reduction of space withreducespace.Here the working code:
