TikZiT is a simple GUI desktop application for rapidly creating graphs and string diagrams using PGF/TikZ. Its native file format is a subset of PGF/TikZ, so diagrams can be included directly in LaTeX papers.

Use cases

  • draw TikZ diagrams visually instead of writing code
  • create string diagrams for category theory papers
  • edit nodes and edges in PGF/TikZ graphs
  • produce figures for LaTeX documents
  • preview and edit .tikz files

When to choose

  • you need publication-quality diagrams in LaTeX papers
  • you find hand-writing TikZ code tedious
  • you draw many graph or string diagrams

When to avoid

  • you need general-purpose vector graphics editing
  • you want diagrams outside the PGF/TikZ subset
  • you need a web-based collaborative diagram tool
