<p>I like to use TikZ for LaTex because it looks really clean, you have the same fonts then in the text, you can even use it easily inside formulae etc. But you have to "program" the pictures using coordinates, so it has a bit of a learning curve.</p> <p>Some examples of TikZ can be found here <a href="http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/area/mathematics/" rel="nofollow">http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/area/mathematics/</a></p>
