Unrelated: writelatex.com is the only site I've noticed that sees when you don't load some of the JS it requires from third-party domains, and warns you about it! Great little feature.
Thanks for noticing :) That check has greatly reduced the number of confusing support requests we receive.
For those who want to see more, this is build using PGF/TIKZ, a library with one of the most extensive and awesomely looking documentations around:
I've used TeX/LaTeX for 24 years and I look at PGF/TikZ and it seems more verbose than I can stand. Do you edit it by hand, which seems to be the case for simpler diagrams, or is there a map/transform application that can take output from drawing applications?
This is really cool! I always wanted to do an impossible shape in PostScript, this makes me want to take the time to actually do it. Thanks for sharing!
No problem :-) I loved this example when I first saw it, and someone shared it with me again today so I decided to post it here.
I imagine this would be a great way to make logos for your startup.
Has anyone tried using something like emscripten to set up a version of TeX that can run in the browser?
