circlesiconsymbols
I'd like to implement icons like those in the figure below to denote, for instance, the level of satisfaction of a certain requirement.
I didn't find such icons in any icon pack. I also tried \mathrel but the circles are not perfectly concentric at the end. How can i solve?
Moreover, is there a way to create them deciding the ratio between the black circle and the white one?
Thank you in advance.
As is mentioned in the comments, your example code compiles fine, but you mustn't use the \newcommand*\circled more than once. If you want more circled numbers, just use \circled{n} for each instance of a circled n.
My guess is that you did the following: You tried some code like
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\newcommand*\circled[1]{\tikz[baseline=(char.base)]{
\node[shape=circle,draw,inner sep=2pt] (char) {#1};}}
\begin{document}
Numbers aligned with the text: \circled{1} \circled{2} \circled{3} end.
\newcommand*\circled[1]{\tikz[baseline=(char.base)]{
\node[shape=circle,draw,inner sep=2pt] (char) {#1};}}
Numbers aligned with the text: \circled{1} \circled{2} \circled{3} end.
\end{document}
and got ! LaTeX Error: Command \circled already defined. This is expected behaviour; you should define \circled only once in the preamble. Then you tried removing the second \newcommand*, but you only removed that. Then indeed you get the error message
! You can't use `macro parameter character #' in restricted horizontal mode.
What you have to do is remove the full two lines of the definition, i.e., the lines
\newcommand*\circled[1]{\tikz[baseline=(char.base)]{
\node[shape=circle,draw,inner sep=2pt] (char) {#1};}}
Do you mean something like below? Make sure to define your own commands. Like this, you can still switch to something different later on
% arara: lualatex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmathfont{xits-Math}
\newcommand*{\noPrior}{\ensuremath{\mdlgwhtcircle}}
\newcommand*{\quarterPrior}{\ensuremath{\circleurquadblack}}
\newcommand*{\halfPrior}{\ensuremath{\circlerighthalfblack}}
\newcommand*{\threeQuarterPrior}{\ensuremath{\blackcircleulquadwhite}}
\newcommand*{\fullPrior}{\ensuremath{\mdlgblkcircle}}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{lr}
\toprule
Symbol & Meaning\\
\midrule
\noPrior & \SI{0}{\percent}\\
\quarterPrior & \SI{25}{\percent}\\
\halfPrior & \SI{50}{\percent}\\
\threeQuarterPrior & \SI{75}{\percent}\\
\fullPrior & \SI{100}{\percent}\\

\end{tabular}
\end{document}
Here is an idea for TikZ:
% arara: pdflatex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\usepackage{tikz}
\newcommand*{\priority}[1]{\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.15]%
\draw (0,0) circle (1);
\fill[fill opacity=0.5,fill=blue] (0,0) -- (90:1) arc (90:90-#1*3.6:1) -- cycle;
\end{tikzpicture}}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{lr}
\toprule
Symbol & Meaning\\
\midrule
\priority{0} & \SI{0}{\percent}\\
\priority{15} & \SI{15}{\percent}\\
\priority{33} & \SI{33}{\percent}\\
\priority{75} & \SI{75}{\percent}\\
\priority{100} & \SI{100}{\percent}\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
