Tools to draw diagram

Post by lehe »

Hi,
I am starting to learn how to draw diagram (circle, arrow,...) in Latex. Could you recommend me some convenient tool? Is there an equivalence for drawing like TexMaker for Latex? Thanks!

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi,

I would suggest you one of the following two packages: PGF/TikZ and PSTricks. Both are powerful packages providing a wide range of features for creating graphics, and both have really comprehensive documentation:

PGF manual.
PSTricks documentation.

You can see those packages in action here:

TikZ Example Gallery (from TeXample.net).
PSTricks Example Gallery (from the package homepage).
