TikZ-trackschematic
Installation
The tikz library is contained in the files: * tikz-trackschematic.sty * tikzlibrarytrackschematic.code.tex, * tikzlibrarytrackschematic.topology.code.tex, * tikzlibrarytrackschematic.trafficcontrol.code.tex, * tikzlibrarytrackschematic.vehicles.code.tex, * tikzlibrarytrackschematic.constructions.code.tex, * tikzlibrarytrackschematic.symbology.code.tex, * tikzlibrarytrackschematic.electrics.code.tex, and * tikzlibrarytrackschematic.measures.code.tex.
These files should be copied wherever TeX can find it, for example in your $TEXMF folder.
Alternatively, the tikz library is provided by CTAN as "tikz-trackschematic" and is thus part of the TeX Live distribution or can be installed via MiKTeX.
The library can then be loaded through the command
TeX
\usepackage{tikz-trackschematic}
in any LaTeX file.
The library can also be used in Overleaf.
Minimal working example
```TeX \documentclass{standalone} % LaTeX \usepackage{tikz-trackschematic} % loading the library
\begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}
% TikZ command: specify coordinates
\coordinate (A) at (0,0);
\coordinate (B) at (6,0);
\coordinate (T) at (5,0);
% draw a track
\maintrack (A) -- (B);
% place a train on the track
\train[forward] at (T) label ();
\end{tikzpicture} \end{document} ``` results in:
Symbology and meaning
Please consult the symbology table for further information regarding meaning of the symbols.
Roadmap
- rethink syntax
- provide option for internationalziation (i18n)
- rewrite library with better coding skills
- include support for glossaries package
