Do you want to produce high-quality figures for your LaTeX technical documents? Then TikZ/PGF and PGFPLOTS are the right tools for you, and this book will enable you to get quickly up to speed. TikZ/PGF draws complex mathematical and technical diagrams, and PGFPLOTS renders line, scatter, and bar plots for scientific data visualization. TikZ/PGF and PGFPLOTS graphics compile right along with your LaTeX document.
This book boils down 1,800 pages of documentation to focus on the 10 percent of TikZ/PGF and PGFPLOTS commands that users need 90 percent of the time, building up from fundamentals and digestible in a few hours. It also serves as a self-contained reference for most common operations, listing each command with all of the relevant key/value options in one place.
The author has been grappling with TikZ/PGF and PGFPLOTS for more than 15 years for her own papers. She holds a Ph.D. in applied mathematics and is a Fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), and a Member of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE).
A publication of MathSci.ai. Distributed in print by the American Mathematical Society.
ReadershipThis book is for novices just starting out as well as experts looking to better master these tools.

For me, this is the perfect level of conciseness. It builds things up step-by-step, but quickly enough so that it does not feel like I have to plow through a lot of uninteresting details. The examples are very nice and visually clear. I’m an impatient reader, and I can jump around in the book, still getting an idea where I would need to look if I wanted to know more about a particular topic.
