Allow drawing with tikz

[Abrynos]

In both my thesis' so far, it was important to be able to draw images using tikz and I believe the packages tikz and pgfplots should be included by default.

Below are some tikz libraries I regularly use, but may or may not be useful for others:

\usetikzlibrary{shapes.geometric}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning}
\usetikzlibrary{matrix}
\usetikzlibrary{fit}
\usetikzlibrary{angles}
\usetikzlibrary{backgrounds}

I use tikz too but most people don't and I would not include the package by default. Did you experience any problems when importing tikz? This could make a great topic in the associated Wiki -- how about creating a short tutorial there?

how about creating a short tutorial there?

This sounds like a great idea. Don't forget to link it in the HgbThesisTutorial 😉

I'm picking this up again to resolve some old open issues. I'm no expert on tikz, so I can't write any meaningful tutorial or guide.

If you're willing to provide a text, @Abrynos, I'm happy to include it in the wiki and link to it. Otherwise, I'll have to close this issue.

Sure. I'll see if i can get around to writing a bit this week. Possibly the weekend
