Figures

This repository contains an informal library of figures created in various ways and for various purposes which may be of use to others. These figures are typically described in TikZ, Inkscape or generated by Python (usually by outputting machine generated SVG or TikZ source).

Though the figures are intended to be aesthetically pleasing, their descriptions are often not. Please be aware of this if you are considering adapting a figure!

You can clone the repository containing these figures over on GitHub.
