After several years -of development work in the background, a new version is finally ready. - -The big jump in the version number from 2.10 to 3.0.0 is due to the -fact that a lot of new stuff has been added to TikZ (since the last -version, over a thousand lines have been added to the change log...) -and over a hundred bugs have been eliminated. However, care was taken -to make sure that in normal circumstances all old code will still -produce the exact same results as it used to. - -Since it is impossible to list all the changes and improvements since -the last version in this announcement, let me just point out some -hilights: - -- Arrow Tips: The code for specifying and using arrow tips has been - completely rewritten. You can now configure the appearance of arrow - tip "to death" and do so on the fly. Arbitrary arrow tips will now - even bend along curves since TikZ can now do curvilinear - transformations on a very low level. - -- Syntax Improvements: A lot of small things have been added and - improved in the syntax. For instance, nodes can be in front of - paths, but now also behind them. There is the new notion of a "small - picture" called a "pic", which is something of a mixture of a node - and a picture, making it easy for normal users to create - configurable, reusable graphics. - -- A Syntax for Graphs: Creating a larger graph used to require a large - number of node and edge commands and, possibly, some foreach - loops. Now there is a new simple syntax for this, borrowed from the - GraphViz program, that makes it very easy to specify graphs and - especially trees in a convenient manner. - -- Graph Drawing Algorithms: TikZ now comes with a large and powerful - system for computing the positions of nodes of graphs automatically - (you need LuaTeX for this, though). A number of common algorithms - have already been implemented, making it very easy to draw graphs - now. Also, it is rather simple to implement new graph drawing - algorithms. - -- Data Visualization: There is now an alternative to pgfplots as part - of the standard TikZ installation for creating plots. While pgfplots - is still the more mature system, the new data visualization system - comes with some interesting new ideas. - -- Driver Support: Support for all mayor backend drivers has been - improved. A new, cool thing is the support for dvisvgm, which - allows you to create powerful SVG graphics directly from TeX, - including the text. This support also open the door to interactive - and animated graphics in future versions since SVG makes it very - easy to animate arbitrary parts of a graphic. |
