From TikZiT to LaTex

Post by zlaja »

Warm Regards Nice People! :)

I'm writing a mathematical paper in LaTeX and I'm in need to draw some simple graph with small nodes and lines representing the algorithm of multiplication that I'm trying to describe better by making some graphical overview. So instead of learning codes to draw directly in LaTeX I found TikZiT where I could easily draw and model the shapes I need. Simultaneously some kind of code is written in the separate box under the picture. So I took that code, copy paste to LaTeX thinking it would work, which would be very simplifying and time saving, but it doesn't work.

I'm not an expert with LaTeX and I'm not an expert when it comes to computer softer, I'm more into pen and paper mathematics at this point. But I'm wondering if it's possible to draw in TikZiT and then use that code to translate the same picture to LaTeX and then to have it in PDF finally. And if possible, how actually to do it. And if it's not possible, is there any other way that is simple in this manner to make some simple graphs in LaTeX without having to learn how to code the exact kind of shapes I need..

Thank You! :D

Hin and welcome, there are a whole lot of libraries extending standard TikZ/pgf and your generator might have used one. Is there any export function you could use?

Right now it is impossible for me to say something, as i never used the software nor is there any example to better understand the topic at hand.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
