It allows scaling of TikZ images and PGFPlots to a provided +width or height without changing the text size. + +Usage: \usepackage{tikzscale} + +As an example write +\includegraphics{myTikZFile.tikz} +instead of +\includegraphics{myJPEGFile.jpeg}, +with myTikZFile.tikz being the file name of a text file containing +everything from \begin{tikzpicture} to \end{tikzpicture}. To actually +do some scaling of the included TikZ file, give either an absolute width +or an absolute height in the optional argument, e.g. +\tikzscale@includetikz[width=0.5\linewidth]{myTikZFile.tikz}. +If the file contains a plot created with the PGFPlots package, set both +width and height via the optional argument, e.g. +\tikzscale@includetikz[width=\linewidth,height=0.4\linewidth]{myPGFPlot.tikz}. + |
