LaTeX figure environment. asy graph. Caption is lost in the final pdf.

[gustaf]

The Asymptote graph consists of but a straight line and an x- and a y-axis. It is enclosed in the figure environment which includes a caption as well. The LaTeX file is called demo.tex; a link is included below.

There are two problems:

1. The caption is lost in the pdf written.
2. There is a "float too large" detected by LaTeX

I have tried to use \protect without success. As to the second problem I am completely without ideas.

All files involved (including the log-file) are found in the catalogue pointed to by this link:
https://1drv.ms/f/s!AvIP6x1zKSLzhWO_fqAYRZdUdSIX

The handling of the files was by means of a (Windows) batch file:

call wp        q.bat
call wp        demo.tex
call clean
call we        demo.tex
call tse       demo.tex   -n%1
call wp        demo.tex
call we        q.bat
call pdflatex  demo
call acrobat   demo
call asy       demo-*.asy
call pdflatex  demo
call acrobat   demo

The we and wp manages the write-permissions. The tse is my editor. The first call to acrobat in fact shows the caption correctly. The second acrobat call (after the asy demo-.asy) shows the line and the two axes but without the caption.

Does anyone have a suggestion about what error(s) I commit?

Hi gustaf

There is high probability you have no mistake in your code. There is some problem with dvips around since the last upgrade of MikTeX, which pushes the graphics downwards - see my post from 2 days ago. To be sure that your case is the same, pls post your code here.

Marek,

You should find the file demo.tex following the link that is in the post. Anyway, here it is:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{asymptote}
%
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\begin{center}
\begin{asy}
  import graph;
  size(10cm ,10cm,IgnoreAspect);
  real xn   =         0.0000000000;
  real xx   =         1.0000000000;
  real yn   =         0.0000000000;
  real yx   =         1.0000000000;
  real Dx   =         0.2000000000;
  real Dxs  =         0.0500000000;
  real Dy   =         0.2000000000;
  real Dys  =         0.0500000000;
  string  xLabel  = "x [ ]";
  string  yLabel  = "y [ ]";
  pen[] p = {solid,dashed,longdashed};   // a vector of pens
  p.cyclic = true;
  real[][] a = new real [2][2];
  a[0][  0]=           0 ;     a[1][  0]=0;
  a[0][  1]=           1 ;     a[1][  1]=1;
  real[] x=a[0];
  real[] y=a[1];
  write("x" , x);   // verify onto stdout
  write("y" , y);
  pen q=p[0];
  xaxis(Label(xLabel           ,EndPoint          ),YEquals(yn),  LeftTicks(Step=Dx, step=Dxs), xmin=xn, xmax=xx);
  yaxis(Label(rotate(0)*yLabel ,EndPoint,RightSide),Left       , RightTicks(Step=Dy, step=Dys), ymin=yn, ymax=yx);
  pen q=p[0];
  draw(graph(x,y),q);
\end{asy}
\end{center}
\protect{\caption[Short text]{Long text}}
\end{figure}

On my system only upper part of your picture is visible.

Pls try this code from the Asymptote manual (first paragraph of the section 3.4):

size(3cm);
draw(unitsquare);
label("$A$",(0,0),SW);
label("$B$",(1,0),SE);
label("$C$",(1,1),NE);
label("$D$",(0,1),NW);

Don't embed it into a latex code, but compile it straight as is. Then comment out all label commands and try again.

With Bowman's latest version of plain.asy installed (see above) the figure environment now includes the caption as well.

Thank you for the help.
