What problem does it solve?

TikZ-based diagrams are common in LaTeX slides but hard to reuse across modern slide formats; this skill streamlines converting TikZ sources into scalable SVGs for easy embedding in Beamer or Quarto slides.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Source files located in lecture-slides/figs/source/*.tex and are treated as standalone diagrams for conversion.
  • Generated SVGs are saved to lecture-slides/figs/*.svg for direct inclusion in slides.
  • Conversion script is scripts/tikz2pdf.py and handles wrapping, PDF generation with pdflatex, and SVG conversion with pdftocairo.
  • Use cases include updating a TikZ diagram library for course decks and converting new figures for web-friendly slides.

Quick Start

Run the TikZ-to-SVG conversion from the project root to generate SVGs from all TikZ source files.
