As a novice TikZ user, I can only draw some lines after spending hours reading the TikZ manual, which made me go with Adobe Illustrator to quickly draw what I want despite the ton of features I left behind by not drawing with TikZ.
So, I thought many times of asking How to draw this?
questions, but quickly realized that I will get the typical response of Show us what you have tried
. However, what if I don't know the basic knowledge that can make me able to go to a starting point since the manual can swallow me for days without knowing what I should do or where I can start.
So, my main question is: can TikZ experts be tolerant and not push the user for having an MWE considering that even an initial MWE is difficult for some of the OPs including me?
\documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw (0,0) -- (1,1); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}
This a) gives the people trying to help you a starting point without having to type the same boring things over and over again, b) tells some basics about the documentclass etc (in case there are special things to pay attention to, like in beamer) and c) shows some commitment to the question. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Aug 5 '18 at 15:27site:tex.stackexchange.com
in it. Then you will very likely find a good starting point provided you enter the right keywords. The good new is that you will very quickly know how to guess these keywords. Then try to modify the starting point, if you get stuck you'll have a nice starting point which you can post (including the link to the source of your starting point, please). – user121799 Aug 5 '18 at 15:45:)
