| Jun 30, 2013 at 0:30 | comment | added | Marty | I have been very happy with TikZ/PGF. See texample.net/tikz/examples It's a very very good tool to produce high-quality pictures. I think that it's been worth my time, not only for my writing/research, but also for my teaching and presentation (e.g. producing good handouts, beamer slides, etc.). | |

If I have some text in mind, then I can easily produce, with TeX, a very presentable version of it. If I have some picture in mind, it will probably just stay in my mind, or at best in some rough, hand-drawn sketch. | |
