It fits -%% nicely with the purpose of a reproduction pipeline. But it isn't -%% mandatory. Therefore if you don't need it, just comment/delete the line -%% that includes this file in the top LaTeX source (`paper.tex'). -%% -%% However, TiKZ and PGFPlots are the recommended way to include figures -%% and plots in your paper. There are two main reasons: 1) it follows the -%% same LaTeX settings as the text of the paper, so the figures will be in -%% the exact same settings (for example font or lines) as the main body of -%% the papers. 2) It doesn't require any extra dependency (it is -%% distributed as part of TeX-live). Adding specific programs/libraries for -%% plots can greatly increase the number of dependencies for the -%% pipeline. For example Python's Matplotlib library is indeed very good, -%% but it requires Python and Numpy. The latter is not easy to build from -%% source, so after a few years, installing the required version can be -%% very frustrating. -%% -%% Keeping all BibLaTeX settings in a separate preamble was done in the -%% spirit of modularity to 1) easily managable, 2) If a similar BibLaTeX -%% configuration is necessary in another LaTeX compilation, this file can -%% just be copied there and used. -%% -%% PGFPlots uses the (La)TeX TiKZ package to build plots. So we will first -%% do the settings that are necessary in TiKZ, and then go onto the actual -%% PGFPlots package. -%% -%% USAGE: -%% -%% - All plots are made within a `tikz' directory (that must already be -%% present in the location LaTeX is run). -%% -%% - Use `\includetikz{XXXX}' to make/use the figure. If a `makepdf' LaTeX -%% macro is not defined, then it will simply assume a `XXXX.pdf' file -%% exists in the `\bdir/tex/build/tikz' directory and simply import -%% it. If `makepdf' is defined, then TiKZ/PGFPlot will be called to -%% (possibly) build the plot based on `tex/XXXX.tex'. Note that if the -%% contents of `tex/XXXX.tex' hasn't changed since the las -%% build. TiKZ/PGFPlots won't rebuild the plot. - - - - - -%% Very general TiKZ settings. In particular, to allow faster processing -%% (not having to re-build the plots on every run), we are using the -%% externalization feature of TiKZ. With this option, TiKZ will build every -%% figure independently in a special directory afterwards it will include -%% the built figure in the final file. This has many advantages: 1) if the -%% code for the plot hasn't changed, then the plot won't be re-made (can be -%% slow with detailed plots). 2) You can use the PDFs of the individual -%% plots for other purposes (for example to include in slides) cleanly. -\usepackage{tikz} -\usetikzlibrary{external} -\tikzexternalize -\tikzsetexternalprefix{tikz/} - - - - - -%% The following rule will cause the name of the files keeping a figure's -%% external PDF to be set based on the file that the TiKZ commands are -%% from. Without this, TiKZ will use numbers based on the order of -%% figures. These numbers can be hard to manage and they will also depend -%% on order in the final PDF, so it will be very buggy to manage them. -\newcommand{\includetikz}[1]{% - \ifdefined\makepdf% - \tikzsetnextfilename{#1}% - \input{tex/#1.tex}% - \else - \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{tex/tikz/#1.pdf} - \fi -} - - - - - -%% Uncomment the following lines for EPS and PS images.
