Talk:LaTeX/Introducing Procedural Graphics

Rapidity in the Special Theory of Relativity?!?
Can't we think of a better title than this? Perhaps "plotting graphs?"


 * Do you mean Creating Graphics should be renamed Plotting Graphs? If so, well, this chapter is not about plots only. It features any kind of graphics: diagrams, logos, drawings, geometric figures, etc. However I agree a better and more appropriate title would be needed.

 * I changed the name to Introducing Procedural Graphics, hopefully it will be more relevant. --Ambrevar (discuss • contribs) 12:46, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

PGF and TikZ package
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)

Chemical Graphics
This section is slowly growing with more examples of the basic functions of chemfig. Would the section benefit from an image gallery of more complex 2D chemical graphics produced by chemfig? Pmillerrhodes (discuss • contribs) 22:24, 17 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Despite the graphical contant, this chapter has been moved to the Technical Texts part. I hope it fits better there. --Ambrevar (discuss • contribs) 12:46, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

PGFplots
there is a nice tutorial for PGFplots for plotting data at http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb31-1/tb97wright-pgfplots.pdf
