Is their anyone here old enough to remember Xfig ? I was quite proud of the hours of work I had put in to configure it just so, with the 3d look and all.
xfig should still work, right? I remember that it could only export to .fig and .eps files, not latex or any other plot format.
If people are curious, I've worked on this project since February 2026, relatively consistently. In that time, through Codex, I've used around 700M tokens for this project (not counting cache reads), which at API rates would have cost $15k (but I actually paid only around $500 in ChatGPT subscription fees).
Neat! I also enjoyed https://q.uiver.app/ by https://github.com/varkor which is a bit more specialized.
Yes, there are several editors for more specialized things. Other nice examples: https://tikzit.github.io/ and https://www.circuit2tikz.tf.fau.de/designer/ and https://tikzcd.yichuanshen.de/
Looks great for Tikz native though.
Incidentally I am using ChatGPT to create Latex documents for my blog and then they get rendered server side. The workflow works really well.
Oh man, good on you identifying a product that needs to exist. I've used a few TikZ editors (both online and desktop) and none of them are just amazing. But, I've taken my papers to Typst. Could you have the agent do the same thing for Cetz, the TikZ equivalent for Typst?
xfig ?
