Over the years I’ve always looked for some sort of ‘perfect’ LaTeX svg-like image generator. Tikz is a great solution for drawing images in your Latex documents, no matter how complicated or simple. If you’re drawing combinatorial graphs, like I often am, Tikz includes nice loop tools for efficient code. For example, rather than manually drawing a lot of vertical line segments in equally spaced intervals, it is possible to use one for loop and cut the required code down by a ton. Since the language is so simple, it’s easy to learn, and it fits in your Latex code with only an extra \usepackage.
Here is an image from www.texample.net, a wonderful source for tikz tutorials and examples, due to Brian S. Marks.
