TikZ: add fancy graphs to your tex file

As I’m again, again and again using TikZ for graphs and co. in LaTeX. This is not a post about something new but something that always amazes me again and again.

For those how don’t know LaTeX, checkout the LaTeX project under http://www.latex-project.org/

TikZ is a package for creating graphics, it is build on top of PGF and allows creating graphics in an easy manner. There also exists a great documentation (see Documentation) and a large database of examples (see Examples). My all time favorite is the visualization of Prim’s MST algorithm.

If you ever need to create graphs in LaTeX, checkout TikZ!

at least we had one week of sun…

After one week of beautiful snow ;) in the mountains, we changed our plans and went back to Vienna. At least the third week of our vacations, back in Osttirol, was sunny.

Therefore, poorly, we could only climb up some smaller and easier mountains and our original plans is still to be done! But besides of the snow we had the great opportunity to sleep at the Celler Hütte, which indeed is a really great self-supporter hut.

And now some impressions of the snow and the mountains in Osttirol.
