ktikz - Editor for the TikZ language

Version 0.9 is released! It is available as a Debian package for Ubuntu Hardy as well as Debian Lenny.

Please post wishes and bug reports below or even better, send them via email.

KtikZ is a small application helping you to create TikZ (from the LaTeX pgf package) diagrams for your publications. It requires qt4, libpoppler, LaTeX (pdflatex), the LaTeX preview-latex-style package [1] and pgf itself [2]. For the eps export functionality you also need the poppler-utils package.

Please visit the project website for more information.

Version 0.7 (2008-08-26):
- disable previous image button if the first image is shown, disable

line
- adjust size of the viewport in which the preview is displayed when new
items are added to the tikz picture

the commands “Open” and “Open Recent” open the selected file in a new
window, a “Close” command is added which empties the current window

(which has the same behavior as the old “New” command) is executed
