font or tikz to draw tally counting symbols (///)












5














In a book I have the following to illustrate the traditional counting symbols used for hand tallying. They were drawn using PPT and saved in a PNG image, but look ugly and when I try to use one in inline text, I can't get the image properly centered over the baseline.



Is there any font for this, or a way to do this with tikz?

    The comprehensive symbols list shows hhcount package to be closest to this, but the package isn't on CTAN any longer, apparently

Something like this?



documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz}
newcommand{TCS}[2]{begin{tikzpicture}[baseline,#1]
foreach X [evaluate=X as Y using {int(mod(X,5))}]in {1,...,#2}
{ifnumY=0
draw (X*0.5ex+0.3ex,0) -- ++(-2.8ex,2ex);
else
draw (X*0.5ex+0.3ex,0) -- ++(-0.3ex,2ex);
fi}
end{tikzpicture}}
begin{document}
abc TCS{3} def TCS{7}
end{document}

Or slanted to the right.

A different approach with bullcntr, that shows 'unusual' tally symbols: bullets!



But the number of symbols is limited to 9, so the symbols repeat.



documentclass{article}


usepackage{bullcntr}

usepackage{pgffor}

newcounter{bull}
newcommand{showbullcntr}[1]{%
setcounter{bull}{#1}%
bullcntr{bull}%
}
begin{document}



foreach x in {1,...,200} {
pgfmathmod{x}{5}
pgfmathint{pgfmathresult}
edefy{pgfmathresult}
typeout{Current: x and y}
showbullcntr{y}
}

end{document}

Using a macro and cancel package to definite a cut symbol. With mskip-4mu you can decrease or increase the space between the slashs.



enter image description here

usepackage{mathtools}

newcommand{thbacks}{slashmskip-4muslashmskip-4muslashmskip-4muslash}

    The numbers are what Figaro sings at the beginning of Le nozze di Figaro, by Mozart and Da Ponte. Note that the tally marks are drawn with a certain degree of randomness.

          I can't believe it: someone has actually made use of the bullcntr package! I was thinking it was time to withdraw it...

        A different approach with bullcntr, that shows 'unusual' tally symbols: bullets!



        But the number of symbols is limited to 9, so the symbols repeat.



        documentclass{article}


        usepackage{bullcntr}

        usepackage{pgffor}

        newcounter{bull}
        newcommand{showbullcntr}[1]{%
        setcounter{bull}{#1}%
        bullcntr{bull}%
        }
        begin{document}



        foreach x in {1,...,200} {
        pgfmathmod{x}{5}
        pgfmathint{pgfmathresult}
        edefy{pgfmathresult}
        typeout{Current: x and y}
        showbullcntr{y}
        }

        end{document}
