tikz-ext – A collection of libraries for PGF/TikZ

This is not a LaTeX package but a collection of libraries for PGF and TikZ;

• ext.arrows provides additional arrow tips.

  • Many of the standard arrows.meta library's tips get “Centered” and “Untipped” alternatives.
  • Furthermore, the arrow tips ext_Hug Cap for connecting circles neatly and ext_Loop are provided.

• ext.arrows-plus allows to place arrow tips along a path.

  These can either be placed via pics along a path operation (ext/arrow, ext/softpath arrows and ext/softpath arrow) or via keys (ext/arc arrows and ext/softpath arrows) along a previous arc or any path segment. All except the ext/arrow key support the bending of arrow tips.

  The \arrow command of the decorations.markings library has alternatives \arrow* and \arrow** for shifting and shifting/bending.

• ext.calendar-plus extends the calendar library with more tests, week numbers and a few goodies.

  • The already defined keys day xshift, day yshift, month xshift and month yshift are now proper value-keys and can be accessed wtithout having to use an @-riddled macro name.
  • The if key is nestable.
  • Via the pgfcalendar-ext package more conditionals are available, also week numbering according to ISO 8601 is supported.

• ext.layers allows to put nodes etc on a separate layer without having to use pgfonlayer.

• ext.nodes extends the functionalities around nodes.

• ext.node-families uses the AUX file to sync the sizes of nodes.

  • ext.node-families.shapes.geometric

• ext.paths.arcto uses \pgfpatharcto to construct an arc to a point.

• ext.paths.ortho provides orthogonal path operations -|-, |-|, r-rl, r-lr, r-du and r-ud.

• ext.paths.timer adds timers to rectangle, parabola, sin and cos.

• ext.patterns.images allows images to be used as a path‘s pattern.

• ext.positioning-plus adds more ways to position nodes in reference to each other.

• ext.scalepicture scales a TikZ picture to the desired dimensions.

• ext.topaths.arcthrough installs a to path that expects a third point that defines an arc.

• ext.transformations.mirror adds transformations that reflect on arbitrary lines.

• ext.misc which includes

  • the PGFKeys library ext.pgfkeys-plus and
  • the PGFFor extension pgffor-ext.

• Shapes:

  • ext.shapes.circlearrow
  • ext.shapes.circlecrosssplit
  • ext.shapes.heatmark
  • ext.shapes.rectangleroundedcorners
  • ext.shapes.superellipse
  • ext.shapes.uncenteredrectangle
