TikZ Vector Art

This document discusses using LaTeX and TikZ to create vector graphics. It explains that TikZ is used for producing vector graphics, which makes it easy to import outputs from vector editing software like Inkscape, Dia and GeoGebra. It provides an example of raster-based software GIMP. It also describes how the tool Svg2tikz was used to convert an SVG image of the mascot Jeff into LaTeX code by exporting SVG paths as TikZ/PGF paths either through Inkscape, from the command line, or as a Python module.

Vector Art vs. Raster Art


TikZ is used for producing vector graphics. This makes it easy to
import Tikz output from many vector graphics editors and vector
based diagramming software.

The makings of Jeff

To create our beloved pillar of AIMS in LATEX, a tool called


Svg2tikz was used.
Svg2tikz can be used in three ways:
1

As an Inkscape extension for exporting SVG paths as


TikZ/PGF paths.
