Here are the Code examples of this chapter. These pages will be updated over time (sectioning, adding pictures, captions, and possibly further examples). I will synchronize the content with GitHub. Finally, the chapter pages and Code examples will be moved to a dedicated website TikZ.org.
Classic picture mode example
\documentclass[border=10pt]{standalone} \begin{document} \setlength{\unitlength}{1cm} \begin{picture}(1,1) \put(0,0){\circle{1}} \put(-0.5,0){\line(1,0){1}} \put(-0.3,0.06){text} \end{picture} \end{document}
First TikZ drawing
\documentclass[border=10pt]{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{quotes} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw circle (0.5); \draw (-0.5,0) to ["text"] (0.5,0); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}
