A small beginner's guide to TikZ

In this guide I try to present some basic, beginner-friendly ways to work with TikZ. There is a small presentation, but the main focus is on the guide directory.

Table of Contents

1. Learn about basic commands: \node, \draw and \path
2. More about nodes
3. More about edges and arrows
4. Draw a graph
5. Loops and variables
6. Annotate images
7. How to use libraries

You can find a accompanying presentation about this introduction course here

Disclaimer

TikZ is very versatile. There are many ways of doing it, so please take these only as reference and don't be confused when others do it differently. This is the TikZ style I found to work for me. I know there are dozens of way to do things better, use libraries etc. Feel free to make suggestions for improvement!
