Drawing figures in Latex?

Post by toni »

Hello together,

I need to draw some figures (simple figures...) for my beachlorpaper. I wrote it with Latex, but I don't know how to do this figures?
Does somebody know a software or programm concerning this, where I can draw pics/figures,etc. exactly and qualitatively?
I'm working with TeXnicCenter (and have Windows Vista on my computer...)

Thanks for your help.
Kind regards
Toni

you can use several tools to make external figures, though I'd recommend having a look at tikz which enables you to program your figures directly in LaTeX. The actual choice of tool depends on the complexity of your figures.

tikz examples can be found at this address: http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/
