tikz-pgf
I have been trying for a while to load the tikz package to the IEEE ACCESS template. Whenever I use the command \usepackage{tikz}, I am getting the error
/usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/tex/generic/pgf/math/pgfmathfunctions.random.code.tex, line 33
Missing number, treated as zero.
It was working fine with the IEEEtran template and I was able to draw my circuit diagrams in that.
Anyone has any idea how to solve this issue?
Very probably you have an outdated version of TikZ/PGF installed. 2008 is already rather old and it might interfere with anything previously installed on your system. Indeed TikZ/PGF v2.00 (as shipped with TeX Live 2009 with Ubuntu 10.10) doesn't have the intersection library.
In the case of the code in your previous question, you could just calculate the points by hand (as in necessary for the labels anyway), e.g.
\node (a) at (2, 2.5) {};
Generally I recommend to not use the Ubuntu packages as they are often outdated and contain some bugs. Installing TeX Live manually is quite easy (if you want you can ask a separate question about that).
Anki uses some temporary directory for compilation, so you have to give the path to your images explicitly. Suppose the directory is /home/gernot/anki and contains an image duck.jpg. Set the preamble in Anki via Tools | Manage Note Types | your cloze note type | Options to
\documentclass[12pt,border=1mm,varwidth]{standalone}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\graphicspath{{/home/gernot/anki/}}
\begin{document}
Add a card of your cloze note type with the following contents in the Text field:
[latex]\begin{center}\includegraphics{duck}\\\relax {{c1::duck}}\end{center}[/latex]
Then Anki will generate the two cards
Some things to observe:
The path in \graphicspath has to end with a slash /.
Bare in mind that strings like {{c1::XXX}} will be replaced by [...] on one card and by XXX on the other one. You have to make sure that your code is correct in both cases. In the example above, writing \\{{c1::duck}} gives an error since \\[...] is interpreted as \\ with an optional argument. Writing \\\relax{{c1::duck}} still gives an error, since the string becomes \\\relaxduck on the second card and \relaxduck is an undefined command. Therefore one has to put a space, a line end or {} inbetween.
If the LaTeX code happens to contain double braces {{, it may be mistaken as Anki notation. Replace it by {%+new line+{ or, if acceptable from the LaTeX point of view, by { {.
If the path or the file name of the image contains special characters (spaces, tildes, dots) one may have to take extra precautions. See How to use \graphicspath? \includegraphics: Dots in filename; but remember the last point about avoiding double braces.

I had the same problem and here are my steps to fix it:
ieeeaccess.clschange\def\yearto\def\Year\usepackage{xcolor}in the .tex file\usepackage{tikz}in the .tex fileNote: above code is copied from the ieeeaccess.cls file line 127 ~ 129.
Hope this help.
