   IPE has close LaTeX integration

   I find IPE to be a life-savior when it comes to generating physics illustrations which come with their share of math toppings. The editor has nice utilities for latching on to the boundaries, intersection, center etc of geometric figures. The spline tool is the best I have seen anywhere. Layers are handled with grace. LaTeX is rendered instantly. It is very easy to produce a multipage document. What more can one possibly want?

   🏁 Competitors: Airtable, PGF and TikZ, LaTeXDraw

   👍 Pros:    Produces multipage documents|Possible to include latex style files and includes|Live rendering of latex blocks, not just math|Very easy to add stepwise revelations|Comes with a presenter that understands notes|Produced pdf can be easily included in latex documents|Completely free and open source

   👎 Cons:    May be difficult to figure some things right out of the box

• Ask HN: What do you use to create diagrams?

  Depends on the diagram. But a lot of times it's OpenOffice Draw[1]. I might also use Archi[2] or GraphViz[3] depending on what I'm trying to do. [1]: https://www.openoffice.org/product/draw.html [2]: https://www.archimatetool.com/ [3]: https://graphviz.org. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Blockdiag – simple diagram images generator – blockdiag 1.0 documentation

  While inactive blockdiag was small and nice for automatically annotating documentation. As you can see it hasn't been maintained for a few years. https://github.com/blockdiag/blockdiag With complex diagrams, I find good old PlantUML diagrams more useful if not as initially pretty as mermaid. Plus it will output archimate without having to touch that UI https://plantuml.com/ But really it is horses for courses.... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Introduction to Haskell Diagrams

  Use a high-level language like Plant UML, D2, Graphviz which are good for the purpose they are designed for, but not for generic purpose diagramming. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago
