How to draw special tikz borders

I am trying to draw a diagram showing the action of soap on grease and dirt. Currently I have the following diagram:



enter image description here



I would like the shapes that surround the large orange-yellow blobs to be the same as the shapes that are free and not bound. The code is as follows:

          Ok, I made some refinements:




          1. Use pics for the lipids.

          2. Adjust their shading angle to make the shading uniform. The shading angle is computed based on the actual orientation of the lipids.

          3. Lifted the lipids up. To change the lift, change 2mm in path pic[midway,sloped,yshift=2mm] {lipid};

          4. Cleaned up a bit.

          • Mainly a fixed distance. Also on another note, if you look at the picture in the original image from the question, the lipids stick out more, but I think I can do that myself. Thanks so much

          • There appears to be one issue that I have only come across now, the shading on the green-purple region changes with the orientation of the lipid. Is it possible to make it a fixed gradient such that it is always purple at the end near the circle and green at the tail. I would like to apply this to all the lipids (including the free ones)

            @sabhoque Yes. I updated the thingy. (The shading of the purple region is radial, I think, so it is invariant under rotations.)

          • Mainly a fixed distance. Also on another note, if you look at the picture in the original image from the question, the lipids stick out more, but I think I can do that myself. Thanks so much

          • There appears to be one issue that I have only come across now, the shading on the green-purple region changes with the orientation of the lipid. Is it possible to make it a fixed gradient such that it is always purple at the end near the circle and green at the tail. I would like to apply this to all the lipids (including the free ones)

            @sabhoque Yes. I updated the thingy. (The shading of the purple region is radial, I think, so it is invariant under rotations.)

          Ok, I made some refinements:




          1. Use pics for the lipids.

          2. Adjust their shading angle to make the shading uniform. The shading angle is computed based on the actual orientation of the lipids.

          3. Lifted the lipids up. To change the lift, change 2mm in path pic[midway,sloped,yshift=2mm] {lipid};

          4. Cleaned up a bit.

          How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

          Image
          3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question

          Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

          Image
          up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.

          Can I use Tabulator js library in my java Spring + Thymeleaf project?
