I want to use the smartdiagram but by some reason a get a error:

! Undefined control sequence. \smartdiagram 
code #1#2->\StrCut {#1}{:}\diagramtype \option \IfNoValueTF {#... l.6 ...ram]
{Initiation,Planning,Execution,Closure} The control sequence at the end of 
the top line of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have misspelled 
it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). 
Otherwise just continue, and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

Here are a the code I use.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{smartdiagram}

\begin{document}
    \begin{center}
    \smartdiagram[circular diagram]{Initiation,Planning,Execution,Closure}
    \end{center}
\end{document}

  • Unfortunately no diagram option has been defined; you have to select, say circular diagram. You find the complete list of diagrams in the documentation. BTW: check that your distribution has the required packages (first section: Introduction and requirements). – Claudio Fiandrino Apr 03 '13 at 12:36
  • change diagram to circular diagram, do not help. – boje Apr 03 '13 at 12:50
  • Does your distribution has the necessary packages xparse, etoolbox and xstring, besides TikZ of course? – Claudio Fiandrino Apr 03 '13 at 12:59
  • When I change the first code to: \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{smartdiagram} \usepackage{xparse} \usepackage{etoolbox} \usepackage{xstring} \begin{document} \begin{center} \smartdiagram[circular diagram]{Initiation,Planning,Execution,Closure} \end{center} \end{document} Do I still get a error – boje Apr 03 '13 at 13:29
  • The packages I mentioned are already loaded by smartdiagram: I thought you missed xstring which would have been a possible cause of the error. Unfortunately I can compile without errors both codes you provide with both versions 0.2 and 0.3 (which I already sent to CTAN, so it's matter of days before having it available on TeXLive and MiKTeX). – Claudio Fiandrino Apr 03 '13 at 14:02
  • The version 0.3 can be installed via package manager. You might try to update your distribution and see if the error persist: on Mac OSX I'm able to compile with success the example. – Claudio Fiandrino Apr 06 '13 at 09:40
  • I have the same problem too. My document worked well in february. I left it without changing anything and returned to it on april 26, having the same problem. I have checked the dependencies and all are fullfiled, except for TikZ for which I don't have a way to now what components of that package are installed.

    I tested the example from the package documentation and the problem persists.

    If I compile with a minimum example, only loading \usepackage{smartdiagram}, but not refering to it inside the document environment, the error shown says: \usesmartdiagramlibrary{core.definitions}

    The new version of smartdiagram, works well. Thanks a lot for your advice.

  • @djnavas: I've contacted Christian Schenk and now the problem should be fixed. Originally on http://miktex.org/packages/smartdiagram the number of files were 5 (I argued the libraries were missing) and now they are 9: indeed the libraries are 4. I think a new download from the manager should solve the issue. – Claudio Fiandrino May 08 '13 at 17:08

There is no need to specify the additional packages. Smartdiagram will call them automatically. Your MWE is correct and compiles (Kubuntu 12.10 but with a complete "vanilla Latex installation"). I had similar problems before, with the Texlive2012 PPA. So if you are indeed working with xUbuntu, try a full "vanilla Latex".
