Why this kind of detail does not seem to be in tikz documentation?

Post by dedec0 »

Hello,

i would like to read a complete manual with all the options i can put in every possible item to be put in what "\usepackage{tikz, tikz-3dplot}" provides.

Just for the tikz package, it is easy to find

https://www.bu.edu/math/files/2013/08/tikzpgfmanual.pdf

by searching for "tikz documentation", or similar things. But this manual does not have that kind of thing.

Everything i ever used, for example, "here":

begin{tikzpicture}[ HERE ]

i have found in examples tex files, discussions, or other things like those. Is there a list with all of them?

Complete documentations of every option for every command in tikz package is also nice (and in the 3d plot one too, i guess; although i am not using it right now, i may need it soon).

Recommended reading 2024:

There are many packages that are extensions of TikZ or special applications, written by other authors. Their documentation is separate. You could for example visit TeXdoc.net and type the tikz keyword in the search field and click the search button, to find documentation for TikZ related packages.
