Improving my TikZ skills
I want to learn more about TikZ graphics package. I will be going throught the TikZ gallery and trying to recreate any one by myself. This should not take more than 1 hour daily (worst case).
Day 1 - Learning about help grid… this is better to visualize the grid, no more guessing the placement node
\begin{tikzpicture}
% this is a help grid to know placement of other elememts
\draw[help lines, style={gray!25}] grid (5, 5);
% what's happening is a node at (0,0) with certain style
% the '--' line towards another node defined using
% polar coordinates (angle, radius)
\draw (0, 0) node[style={circle, fill=blue, minimum size=3pt,
inner sep=0pt}, label=below:{$(0,0)$}] {} -- (45:2)
node[style={circle, fill=blue, minimum size=3pt, inner sep=0pt}, label=$\pi/4$] {};
\end{tikzpicture}
The syntax will take some time to sink in.
