Talk:LaTeX/Creating Graphics

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

[edit] Rapidity in the Special Theory of Relativity?!?

Can't we think of a better title than this? Perhaps "plotting graphs?"

[edit] PGF and TikZ package

TODO Expand the section to include description of how to actually use the package, or removed it as a promotion of sorts, adding no value to the reader. Also, it could be mentioned at the beginning of this chapter as one of the packages not covered by the chapter.

The PGF package and its TikZ front-end is another powerful graphics package, usable with LaTeX but also plainTeX, available at:

• http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/pgf/

The package has a manual running over 500 pages and is comprehensive.

An PGF and TikZ examples gallery is at

I am posting here a section that I have removed. It could be expanded into useful content; as it stands, it is only a list of links. --Dan Polansky (talk) 19:07, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
