tikztosvg(1)

Usage

tikztosvg [OPTION] ... INPUT_PATH

Overview

The tikztosvg(1) command renders TikZ diagrams to SVG.

If INPUT_PATH is set to - the input will be read from stdin.

Options

-o, --output=OUTPUT_PATH: Write output to file OUTPUT_PATH. If set to - the output will be written to stdout. Defaults to the base name of the input file suffixed with the .svg extension. The file is resolved relative to the working directory.

-p, --package=+PACKAGE: Include \usepackage{PACKAGE} when rendering the diagram. The tikz, tikz-cd, pgfplots, amsmath and amssymb packages are always included by default.

-l, --library=+_LIBRARY: Include \usetikzlibrary{LIBRARY} when rendering the diagram.

-q, --quiet: Silence application log messages and script warnings.

--lualatex: Use LuaTeX as the TeX engine. LuaTeX is already the default, so this option doesn’t really do much.

--xelatex: Use XeTeX as the TeX engine.

--pdflatex: Use pdfTeX as the TeX engine.

-h, --help: Print a help message.

-v, --version: Prints version information.

Environment

tikztosvg requires XeTeX and pdf2svg to be installed. Make sure any additional LaTeX packages are installed before using them in a diagram.
