3.1 What is TikZ?
Introduction
TikZ is a powerful graphics package for LaTeX that allows precise vector graphics to be created directly within the document. It is fully controlled via code and enables a close connection between text and graphics.
Areas of application
TikZ is frequently used in scientific papers, teaching materials, and technical documentation. Typical applications are diagrams, mathematical sketches, graphs, circuit diagrams, and illustrations where high accuracy and reproducibility are important.
Conclusion
TikZ offers maximum control over graphics, but requires a period of familiarization. For complex, consistent, and professionally integrated graphics, it is a very suitable solution.
