You can customize the basic WYSIWYG drawing tools by selecting or typing some styles or Tikz attributes.

TikzEdt contains a collection of predefined code snippets, attributes and styles. You can extend it by defining your own.

|
| How it works |
|
|
TikzEdt contains a parser that is able to understand the basic structure of Tikz documents and extracts editable coordinates.
|
The extracted coordinates are drawn as an overlay on top of the pdf compiled from your Tikz code. You can edit the coordinates by dragging the red crosses with your mouse.
|
Note: Parsing Latex/Tikz code is not a simple task. Tikzedt can understand a couple of Tikz constructs, in particular coordinate transformation and polar coordinates. But, yes, it can be fooled.... see the documentation for more details. (In the worst case, you may always turn off the parser and use TikzEdt as a text editor with instant preview.)
