Where can I find the TikZ spy package

Question

Even with Google and StackExchange search I can’t find a site to download the package. Can anyone help me?

If you check the accepted answer on the question you linked to, you will find lines containing \usepackage{tikz} and \usetikzlibrary{spy}. — Qrrbrbirlbel, May 10 '13 at 18:22
if i try this: \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{pgfplots} \usetikzlibrary{spy} i get this message: ! I can't find file tikzlibraryspy.code.tex.... Without \usetikzlibrary{spy} tikz works fine. — romi1013, May 10 '13 at 18:28
You most likely have an outdated PGF/TikZ installation. You should update your TeX distribution. — Qrrbrbirlbel, May 10 '13 at 18:36

spy is a TiKZ library not a package so it comes with TiKZ although its name in CTAN is pgf.

As Qrrbrbirlbel explains, you need to first load Tikz with \usepackage{tikz} and later any tikzlibrary with \usetikzlibrary{spy}.

You can find some more information abouts tikzlibraries in List of available TikZ libraries with a short introduction
