IPython magics for generating figures with TikZ. You can select the output format as svg, png or jpg, define the image size, specify a scale factor, load TikZ packages, and save to external files. The accompanying IPython notebooks shows some examples demonstrating how to use these features.
The package requires a working LaTeX installation, ImageMagick and pdf2svg.
pip install git+git://github.com/mkrphys/ipython-tikzmagic.git
Load package by writing
%load_ext tikzmagic
in a notebook cell.
Call tikz by prepending %tikz to a single command, e.g.,
%tikz \draw (0,0) rectangle (1,1);
or by starting a cell with %%tikz, e.g.,
%%tikz
\draw (0,0) rectangle (1,1);
\filldraw (0.5,0.5) circle (.1);
