A Primer on LATEX and TikZ

— Swearingen 2A19

Hunter Damron

Hello Everyone,

This week, Hunter Damron will be giving a talk on Inserting SVG Graphics in LaTeX, and using Tikz as well. LaTeX is an Open Source Typesetting System, usually used in Technical, Scientific, and Academic Settings to produce documentation. Tikz provide extensions to the language, allowing for adding things to the documents easily.

This is considered to be a more intermediate technical talk, and your understanding of it would be helped if you have at least seen LaTeX code before, though this is not required.

LaTeX Example Example of Tikz. Perhaps you've seen something like this on a Math Exam

Check Texample.net out for examples of Tikz.
