Me too. I only recently came across TikZ which is an even more epic way to TeX up fancy diagrams (you "program" them). Still use inkscape for most stuff though

- dngray 7y ago> Started using Inkscape in 2007 to illustrate a math paper, and been using it ever since whenever I needed to TeX something up. That reminds me of this series of posts I read a while back: • https://castel.dev/post/lecture-notes-1/ https://castel.dev/post/lecture-notes-1/ • https://castel.dev/post/lecture-notes-2/ https://castel.dev/post/lecture-notes-2/ • https://castel.dev/post/lecture-notes-3/ https://castel.dev/post/lecture-notes-3/ > I only recently came across TikZ which is an even more epic way to TeX up fancy diagrams (you "program" them). Still use inkscape for most stuff though. Check out link 2 in particular there.
- chrisweekly 7y agoYou and GP wrote "[to] TeX up", is this a common idiom?
- Steuard 7y agoYes? At least in some mathy/sciencey circles.
- misterdoubt 7y agoI learned enough TikZ for a project to create a pretty wide range of generic flowcharts/diagrams. Now I'm no longer using TeX daily and kind of regret boxing myself in. I find that I'm either working with teams that are 100% "TeX all the way" or 0% "please no."
