About Tikz Editor

TikZ Editor is a WYSIWYG editor for TikZ diagrams in LaTeX. It can start from scratch, edit an existing figure, or open a tex file to edit its images. Edits on the visual canvas update the TikZ code instantly while preserving line breaks and spaces, with two-way sync between code and canvas.

It provides drawing tools, a source editor with syntax highlighting, autocompletion and number scrubbing, import from SVG, IPE or PPTX, export to SVG, PDF or PNG, and support for documents with multiple TikZ pictures. It supports common constructs including \foreach loops, trees, matrices and styling. Decorations, graphs and plots have partial support, and let operations are not implemented.
