Eukleides: a Geometry Drawing Language a B C Triangle

As a mathematics teacher in a French high school, I have to compose a rather large number of documents for my students, containing both text and formulas. In my point of view, LATEX is the best tool in such a situation, combining efficiency and high quality. Very often, these documents should be illustrated with geometric figures. I first used the excellent PSTricks package to draw them. I didn...

Lat E X Constructing Circuit Diagrams with Pst-circ *

Abstract In this article the group of packages collectively referred to as pstricks is extended with a package which adds the ability to generate electronic circuit diagrams.

A TikZ tutorial: Generating graphics in the spirit of TEX

TikZ is a system which can be used to specify graphics of very high quality. For example, accurate placement of picture elements, use of TEX fonts, ability to incorporate mathematical typesetting, and the possibility of introducing macros can be viewed as positive factors of this system. The syntax uses an amalgamation of ideas from METAFONT, METAPOST, PSTricks, and SVG, allowing its users to “...
