Is there any tools or website that help drawing and graphing just by draw it out in a draft, then make it a file of image, then upload the image and get the latex code for it ? In addition, is there any way to draw the illustrations kind of like this without writing the code yourself ? Thanks.enter image description here

    If you draw your image as vector graphic, you can use svg2tikz to convert it into tikz code. The code will be ugly! If you want a better quality result, read a TikZ tutorial, your graphic should be doable with just some basic tikz. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Dec 21 '23 at 12:58
  • My experience is that, with the power of AI, writing TikZ code is quite easy. For example, GitHub Copilot is very capable of helping you finish the graph, especially for graphs with strong patterns. – Teddy van Jerry Dec 21 '23 at 13:00
  • @samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz is Inkscape a good tools for my purpose ? – PermQi Dec 21 '23 at 14:16
  • @TeddyvanJerry but it's not free right ? Do you think Inkscape a nice tools to solve my issue ? – PermQi Dec 21 '23 at 14:16
  • @PermQi As good as a graphical tool is gonna get - the resulting code will still be ugly. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Dec 21 '23 at 14:20
  • @samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz I have no choice since I am spending all my time for my project, the theory such as definition, example, theorem, proof, while consulting many different reference books. I really have no time to learn drawing a figure, and I don't even know how long I will have done for the code of a nice single figure, since the last time I tried it, it got me all an afternoon for just a simple circle, ellipses and lines. Really got no choice now, mate – PermQi Dec 21 '23 at 15:39

    @PermQi If you don't have time to learn latex drawing methods, then choose whatever program you are already familiar with, draw your graphic there and include it as image in your document. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Dec 21 '23 at 15:43
  • @samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz indeed I intend to draw figures by hand, but I still want to find a chance to make my project better so – PermQi Dec 21 '23 at 15:55

    @PermQi A good handdrawn figure can be much better quality than a low quality latex figure. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Dec 21 '23 at 15:57
  • @PermQi Yes, GitHub Copilot is indeed not free. Hope you have the opportunity of exploring the art of TikZ when you have time :-) – Teddy van Jerry Dec 21 '23 at 16:49
