Text.LaTeX.Packages.TikZ.Simple

A simple interface to create TikZ graphics. Just build pictures using the Figure data constructors, and get the TikZ script using the function figuretikz. Use the function tikzpicture to insert the TikZ script in the LaTeX document. And do not forget to import the tikz package in the preamble.

Please, note that this module is not intended to be imported in the same module than Text.LaTeX.Packages.TikZ. This module is itself a self-contained alternative of that module. If still want to use both modules, please, use qualified imports to avoid name clashes.

In the Examples directory of the source distribution, the file tikzsimple.hs contains a complete example of usage of this module. Below you can see a picture along with the code it came from.

 myFigure :: Figure
 myFigure = Scale 2 $ Figures
   [ RectangleFilled (0,0) 1 1
   , Colored Green $ RectangleFilled (-1,1) 1 1
   , Colored Red   $ RectangleFilled ( 0,2) 1 1
   , Colored Blue  $ RectangleFilled ( 1,1) 1 1
     ]
