I am trying to create an academic calendar for myself.
I am trying to fill the fall semester in orange color
but the edges of the blocks are skewed.
Please help me in positioning the edges either in vertically or horizontally.
I would be happy, if you can help me in simplifying the code if I have some superfluous parts.

The problem is that the first days make a narrower node than the last ones.



The TikZy way of doing this would be to require a minimum width for the nodes:



matrix[column sep=1em, row sep=1em, minimum width = 2em]...


this, of course, requires some trial-and-error to get the width right. No one likes that, right?



So browsing the code of tikzlibrarycalendar.code.tex I found that the calendar printing routine has some hooks before and after the day. The one that we want here is the day text option, which defines some formats for the day (there are equivalents for the month and the year).



The solution that would do (approximately) the same as the minimum width option would be:



matrix[column sep=1em, row sep=1em, day text = %d=]...


This makes the date printed in a constant width box. If you want days less than 10 prepended with a 0, you can use:



matrix[column sep=1em, row sep=1em, day text = %d0]...


With either solution, the filled regions are correct:

Here is a rather clumsy way to fix it. The strategy is that, whenever a 1-digit node is used at the left, I mix its coordinate with the x coordinate of a 2-digit node in the same column. E.g. (m12-2018-12-03.north west) becomes (m12-2018-12-03.north -| m12-2018-12-10.west).

A simpler solution derives from the fact that anyway every other coordinate in your contour is unnecessary. So by making your code shorter you automatically fix the problem.

The problem is that the first days make a narrower node than the last ones.



The TikZy way of doing this would be to require a minimum width for the nodes:



matrix[column sep=1em, row sep=1em, minimum width = 2em]...


this, of course, requires some trial-and-error to get the width right. No one likes that, right?



So browsing the code of tikzlibrarycalendar.code.tex I found that the calendar printing routine has some hooks before and after the day. The one that we want here is the day text option, which defines some formats for the day (there are equivalents for the month and the year).



The solution that would do (approximately) the same as the minimum width option would be:



matrix[column sep=1em, row sep=1em, day text = %d=]...


This makes the date printed in a constant width box. If you want days less than 10 prepended with a 0, you can use:



matrix[column sep=1em, row sep=1em, day text = %d0]...


With either solution, the filled regions are correct:

The problem is that the first days make a narrower node than the last ones.



The TikZy way of doing this would be to require a minimum width for the nodes:



matrix[column sep=1em, row sep=1em, minimum width = 2em]...


this, of course, requires some trial-and-error to get the width right. No one likes that, right?



So browsing the code of tikzlibrarycalendar.code.tex I found that the calendar printing routine has some hooks before and after the day. The one that we want here is the day text option, which defines some formats for the day (there are equivalents for the month and the year).



The solution that would do (approximately) the same as the minimum width option would be:



matrix[column sep=1em, row sep=1em, day text = %d=]...


This makes the date printed in a constant width box. If you want days less than 10 prepended with a 0, you can use:



matrix[column sep=1em, row sep=1em, day text = %d0]...


With either solution, the filled regions are correct:

Here is a rather clumsy way to fix it. The strategy is that, whenever a 1-digit node is used at the left, I mix its coordinate with the x coordinate of a 2-digit node in the same column. E.g. (m12-2018-12-03.north west) becomes (m12-2018-12-03.north -| m12-2018-12-10.west).

A simpler solution derives from the fact that anyway every other coordinate in your contour is unnecessary. So by making your code shorter you automatically fix the problem.

A simpler solution derives from the fact that anyway every other coordinate in your contour is unnecessary. So by making your code shorter you automatically fix the problem.

Here is a rather clumsy way to fix it. The strategy is that, whenever a 1-digit node is used at the left, I mix its coordinate with the x coordinate of a 2-digit node in the same column. E.g. (m12-2018-12-03.north west) becomes (m12-2018-12-03.north -| m12-2018-12-10.west).

Confectionery

Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
