Tools to draw diagram
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!

Tools to draw diagram
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).
