TikZGUI

Inspiration

Frustration with LaTeX 😡

What it does

Provides a clean GUI to create graphics then generates TikZ code to display the graphic in a LaTeX document 🙌✨

How we built it

We built a JavaFX application for the user to see and manipulate the graphics, a back end to handle the representation and an shape interpreter to translate shape objects into TikZ code

Challenges we ran into

JavaFX, Maven and Linux

Accomplishments we’re proud of

Making a responsive JavaFX app! Modular and expandable code, functional style java

What we learned

Don’t use JavaFX?
