Need a tutorial

Post by TommyK »

All of the LaTeXing I've done thus far has been sans graphics. I've been lucky that way, I guess. However, I am afraid that at some point an author will ask me to insert a graphic and/or create one myself. When that author does ask for graphics, I don't want to use precious time teaching myself on the fly. At this point, those that I may be asked to create would be an (x,y) coordinate with grids and / or sine waves, etc.

What is a good tutorial for teaching myself the artsy side of LaTeX?

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
