KTIKZ(1)

💖 KTIKZ — it's the ktikz(1) manual, bestie 💖

General Commands Manual energy, but make it cute. This is the page for ktikz, and yes we're reading the whole thing together. Grab a snack. 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

ktikz — an editor for the TikZ language. That's it, that's the name section, slay.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ktikz [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [url | file]

Okay so you run it, you can throw some Qt options at it, some KDE options at it, and optionally a url or a file. Simple. Iconic. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

KtikZ is a small application that helps you make diagrams and drawings using the TikZ macros from the LaTeX package pgf. No cap.

The way it works is two panes, bestie:

• A text editor pane, where you edit the TikZ code for your drawing ✍️
• A preview pane, showing the drawing as rendered by latex 👀

And here's the part that eats: the preview pane can be updated in real-time. Literally watching your code come alive. Obsessed. 🔥

Also? Common drawing tools, options and styles are all available from the menus, to assist the coding process. You don't have to memorise everything, the menus got you. 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

Generic options:

• --help — shows help about options. The classic. Ask for help, receive help. 💖
• --help-qt — shows Qt specific options. All the Qt-flavoured ones. ✨
• --help-kde — shows KDE specific options. All the KDE-flavoured ones. 🌈
• --help-all — shows all options. The whole buffet, no crumbs left. 🍽️
• --author — shows author information. Give credit where credit is due, periodt. 👑
• -v, --version — shows version information. Vibe check on which version you're running. ⭐
• --license — shows license information. The legal tea. ☕

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

Full user documentation is available through the KDE Help Center. 📚

You can also just paste the URL help:/ktikz/ directly into konqueror, or run this from the command line:

khelpcenter help:/ktikz/

Either way you get the docs. Multiple routes, all valid. 🧚
