I know lots of you use Emacs and org mode to prepare scholarly books and
papers, either doing the HTML or, more probably, the Latex export.
Question: Let's say I want to produce a math text with
Emacs/org-mode/Latex. What is the best way to make diagrams and images?
I've seen things like Inkscape and LibreOffice Draw. But then there is
Gnuplot and Tikz. Yes, what Tikz does seems optimal, but the learning curve
is a year's sabbatical. Just wondering what you people are using to do your
images.
