extension for ipython/jupyter to compile tikz code into figures

ipython-tikzmagic

forked from mkrphys/ipython-tikzmagic repo, I am adding features on top of the already working code

keywords: ipython, jupyter, tikz, graphs, captions,

IPython magics for generating figures with TikZ. You can select the output format as svg, png or jpg, define the image size, specify a scale factor, load TikZ packages and Tex packages, and save to external files. The accompanying IPython notebooks shows some examples demonstrating how to use these features.

dependencies

The package requires a working LaTeX installation, ImageMagick and pdf2svg.

installation:

Place the tikzmagic.py file in your ~/.ipython/extensions/ directory. Then within any notebook you can load the extension with %load_ext tikzmagic.

Usage

The magic function %%tikz can take arguments

• -sc : scale
• -s : size in pixels
• -f : format (png, svg, or jpg)
• -l : libraries to include at compile time (e.g. matrix, arrows)
• -p : packages to include (e.g tkz-berge)
• -S : flag that saves output to "filename.format"
• -c : Add comment to the figure, `-c "This is a circle."
