Benefits of TikZ

Compared to classic drawing programs where you click with the mouse on shapes and toolbars and drag and drop graphic elements, TikZ is very different. With TikZ, you program graphics with code.

That means your graphics will be the following:

• Precise: You get the exact placement of graphic and text elements using anchors, baselines, alignment, relative positioning, and implicit coordinate calculations.
• Consistent: TikZ blends in perfectly with LaTeX. You can use LaTeX fonts, symbols, formulas, colors, and macros within your drawing, and your drawing details will precisely match your LaTeX document design. That would be different if you imported some externally made images.
• High-quality: TikZ generates scalable PDF images that look fine when you zoom in or out. There are no blurry or pixelated images.
• Efficient: Similar figures mean similar code and similar styles; it’s all reusable, and when you adjust global styles, you change the appearance...
