[solved] tikz
package causing error in IEEE Access template
One of my previous collaborators was having an issue while adding the tikz
package to the IEEE Access
template. Later I looked into the problem and tried the existing solutions available online. However, none of those worked alone and I had to summarize the solution. Here is how I solved the problem.
Required packages for plotting
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage{pgfplotstable}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.7}
\usepackage{tikz}
Usually the \usepackage{tikz}
arises an issue if included in the IEEE Access
Latex template.
The solutions available in the net have several issues and I had a tough time figuring out which works better. Later I summarized the solution in just two steps and it works fine now. The solution template is available in a modified short Overleaf IEEE Access Template.
Solution
- In
ieeeaccess.cls
file -> change\def\year
to\def\Year
- In
access.tex
file -> add the following after\usepackage{tikz}
\NewSpotColorSpace{PANTONE} \AddSpotColor{PANTONE} {PANTONE3015C} {PANTONE\SpotSpace 3015\SpotSpace C} {1 0.3 0 0.2} \SetPageColorSpace{PANTONE}
Now, you are all set. Once again, you can access and download the modified files from the modified Overleaf IEEE Access Template.
