\chapter{An Intuitive Introduction I: Basics}
\label{ci:introI}

All drawing macros provided in this package work within |tikzpicture| environment, just like any other \Tikz\ commands.

%%------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Lines: Basics: \protect\cmd{\tzline(0,0)(3,1)}}
\label{si:lines}

To draw a line from $(0,0)$ to $(3,1)$, just do |\tzline(0,0)(3,1)|.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
% \tzline
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,2)
\tzline(0,0)(3,1)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

You can use \Tikz\ options to change the style of a line.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
% \tzline: change line style
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzline(0,0)(3,1)
\tzline[dashed](0,1)(3,2)
\tzline[->,blue,thick](0,3)(4,1)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\begin{tztikz}
\tzline[dashed](0,1)(3,2) % works like:
  \draw [dashed] (0,1) -- (3,2);
\end{tztikz}


%%------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Dots: Basics}
\label{si:dots}

\subsection{A circle dot: \protect\cmd{\tzcdot(0,0)}}
\label{ssi:tzcdot}

\icmd{\tzcdot}|(0,0)| prints a `circle dot' \tikz \tzcdot(0,0);, with the \xem{radius} |1.2pt| by default, at the point |(0,0)|. The starred version \icmd{\tzcdot*} prints a filled dot \tikz \tzcdot*(0,0);.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
% \tzcdot: circle dot
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzcdot(0,0)
\tzcdot*(3,1)
\tzcdot [red]  (0,1)(3pt) % radius=3pt
\tzcdot*[green](3,2)(3pt) % radius=3pt
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

You can change of the size of a dot by specifying the \xem{radius} of the circle, like, for example, |\tzcdot(0,0)(3pt)|.

\begin{tztikz}
\tzcdot*[green](3,2)(3pt) % is an abbreviation for:
  \draw [fill,green] (3,2) circle (3pt);
\end{tztikz}

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
% \tzcdot
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzcdot(0,0)              \tzcdot*(3,1)
\tzcdot[red](0,1)(2mm)    % radius=2mm
\tzcdot*[green](3,2)(3pt) % radius=3pt
\tzline(0,0)(3,1)
\tzline(0,1)(3,2)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}


\subsection{A circle node dot: \protect\cmd{\tzdot(0,0)}}
\label{ssi:tzdot}

\icmd{\tzdot} draws a `circle node dot' at a specified coordinate.
The starred version \icmd{\tzdot*} prints a filled dot. The default size (\xem{diameter} or |minimum size|) is |2.4pt|.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
% \tzdot: node dot
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzdot(0,0)               \tzdot*(3,1)
\tzdot[red](0,1)(4mm)     % minimum size=4mm
\tzdot*[green](3,2)(6pt)  % minimum size=6pt
\tzline(0,0)(3,1)
\tzline(0,1)(3,2)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}


The size (\xem{diameter} or |minimum size|) of a node dot can be changed by the second (or the last) parenthesis option, like |(6pt)|.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
% \tzcdot
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzdot(0,0)(5pt)         \tzdot*(3,1)
\tzdot[red](0,1)(4mm)    \tzdot*[green](3,2)(6pt)
\tzline(0,0)(3,1)
\tzline(0,1)(3,2)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\begin{tztikz}
\tzdot[green](0,0)(6pt) % works like:
  \draw [green] (0,0) node [tzdot,minimum size=6pt] {};
  % tzdot style is predefined
\end{tztikz}


\subsection{Difference between \protect\cmd{\tzcdot} and \protect\cmd{\tzdot}}
\label{ssi:difference}

A `circle dot' drawn by |\tzcdot| is affected by |xscale| or |yscale| in \Tikz, but a `circle node dot' drawn by |\tzdot| is not.
Note also that |\tzcdot| controls the \xem{radius} of a circle dot (following \Tikz\ practice), while |\tzdot| controls the \xem{diameter} of a circle node dot.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
% \tzdot: size not changed by scaling
\begin{tikzpicture}[xscale=.5,yscale=1.1] %%
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzdot(0,0)              \tzdot*(3,1)
\tzdot[red](0,1)(4mm)    \tzdot*[green](3,2)(6pt)
\tzline(0,0)(3,1)
\tzline(0,1)(3,2)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}


\remark
The circle dots drawn by |\tzcdot| are affected by \Tikz\ |scale| factors. It gets bigger or smaller by |scale|.
Let us see what happens to circle dots, especially when |xscale| and |yscale| are not symmetric.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
% \tzcdot: distorted
\begin{tikzpicture}[xscale=.5,yscale=1.1] %%
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzcdot(0,0)              \tzcdot*(3,1)
\tzcdot[red](0,1)(2mm)    \tzcdot*[green](3,2)(3pt)
\tzline(0,0)(3,1)
\tzline(0,1)(3,2)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}




%%------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Coordinates: Basics: \protect\cmd{\tzcoor(0,0)(A)}}
\label{si:coordinates}

To define a coordinate, use \icmd{\tzcoor} with a coordinate followed by its name in parentheses.

\begin{tztikz}
\tzcoor(0,0)(A) % works like:
  \path (0,0) coordinate (A);
  % or
  \coordinate (A) at (0,0);
\end{tztikz}

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzcoor(0,0)(A)      \tzcoor(60:3cm)(B)
\tzline[->](A)(B)
\tzdot(A)(5pt)
\tzcoor(0,1)(C)      \tzcoor(4,2)(D)
\tzline[dashed](C)(D)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

The starred version \icmd{\tzcoor*} prints a filled node dot at a specified coordinate.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzcoor(0,0)(A)      \tzcoor(60:3cm)(B)
\tzline[->](A)(B)
\tzdot(A)(5pt)
\tzcoor*(0,1)(C)     \tzcoor*[fill=none](4,2)(D)
\tzline[dashed](C)(D)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

%%------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Curves: Basics}
\label{si:curves}

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzto(0,0)(4,2)}}
\label{ssi:tzto}

\icmd{\tzto} connects two points with a line or a curve using the |to| operation of \Tikz.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzto(0,0)(4,2)
\tzto[bend right,dashed](0,1)(3,2)
\tzto[out=90,in=-90,->,blue](0,2)(4,1)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\begin{tztikz}
\tzto[bend right](0,1)(3,2) % works like:
  \draw [bend right] (0,1) to (3,2);
\end{tztikz}

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzbezier}}
\label{ssi:tzbezier}

\icmd{\tzbezier} draws a B\'{e}zier curve with \xem{one or two} control points from the first coordinate to the last coordinate.
The style |tzshowcontrols| predefined in the package reveals the control point(s).

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzbezier[blue,thick](0,0)(2,0)(4,2)
\tzbezier[->,tzshowcontrols](0,2)(1,3)(3,0)(4,1)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\begin{tztikz}
\tzbezier[blue](0,0)(2,0)(4,2)        % works like:
  \draw [blue] (0,0) .. controls (2,0) .. (4,2);
\tzbezier(0,2)(1,3)(3,0)(4,1)         % works like:
  \draw (0,2) .. controls (1,3) and (3,0) .. (4,1);
\end{tztikz}

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzparabola}}
\label{ssi:tzparabola}

\icmd{\tzparabola} draws a parabola controlled by several options of \Tikz's |parabola| operation.
The macro \icmd{\tzparabola} accepts \xem{two or three} coordinate arguments to draw a parabola and the parabola bends at the second coordinate if it exists.

\begin{tztikz}
\tzparabola(0,0)(2,4)      % works like:
  \draw (0,0) parabola (2,4);
\tzparabola(2,0)(3,3)(4,1) % works like:
  \draw (2,0) parabola bend (3,3) (4,1);
\end{tztikz}


\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,4)
\tzparabola(0,0)(2,4)
\tzparabola[bend at end,dashed](0,0)(2,4)
\tzparabola(2,0)(3,3)(4,1)
\tzparabola[bend pos=.33,dashed](1,0)(4,4)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}





%%------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Adding text: Nodes and placement}
\label{si:addingtext}

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tznode(3,1)\{text\}[right]}}
\label{ssi:tznode}

With \icmd{\tznode}|(<coor>){<text>}[<node opt>]|, you can put some text at a specified position.
The starred version \icmd{\tznode*} draws the node perimeter, which is a |rectangle| by default.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tznode(0,0){A}
\tznode*(1,1){text}
\tzdot*(2,2)
\tznode(2,2){Text}[above right,blue]
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}


\begin{tztikz}
\tznode(0,0){A}                       % works like:
  \node at (0,0) {A};
\tznode(2,2){Text}[above right,blue]  % works like:
  \draw (2,2) node [above right,blue] {Text};
\end{tztikz}

\subsection{Review: Main nodes and label nodes in \Tikz}
\label{ssi:mainnodes}

In \Tikz, there are two kinds of nodes: main nodes and label nodes.

When a \iisw{main node} with text in it is placed at a specific point, its \iisw{label node} with a label in it is optionally placed in the \xem{direction} of a designated \xem{angle} relative to the main node.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tznode*(2,1){main node}
       [scale=2,label={[draw,red]90:label node}]
\tznode*(3,3){A}[label={above:a},label={0:r}]
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

Instead of angles, you can use the corresponding placement words. In \Tikz, for example, |above| is replaced by |90| degree, |right| by |0| degree, |below left| by |-135| degree, and the like. Note that the angle expression \xem{cannot} be used for placing main nodes.

\xmedskip1
\remark
\begin{itemize}
\item
In this package, macros related to `dots' or `coordinates' (like |\tzcdot|, |tzdot|, and |\tzcoor|) can optionally have `label nodes,' while macros related to `lines' and `curves' (like |\tzline|, |\tzto|, |\tzbezier| and |\tzparabola|) optionally have `main nodes' or `text nodes.'
\item
There is one exception: |\tzshoworigin|. |\tzshoworigin| can have a label, but its location is controlled by positional words such as |below left| but not by |<angle>|.
(See Section \ref{s:tzshoworigin} on page \pageref{s:tzshoworigin} for more details.)
\end{itemize}

\subsection{Abbreviations of \Tikz\ basic placement option styles: \texttt{a}, \texttt{r}, \texttt{ar}, \texttt{bl}, etc.}
\label{ssi:abbreviations}

You can use \isw{abbreviations} (or aliases) |a| for |above|, |c| for |centered|, |r| for |right|, |bl| for |below left|, and so on to place \iisw{main node}\xem{s}.
(Again, you \xem{cannot} use angels to place main nodes.)

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[font=\ttfamily,text=blue]
\tzhelplines[thick](2,2)
\tznode(1,1){centered}[draw]  % default: centered
\tznode(1,2){a} [a]    \tznode(1,0){b} [b]
\tznode(0,1){l} [l]    \tznode(2,1){r} [r]
\tznode(0,2){al}[al]   \tznode(2,2){ar}[ar]
\tznode(0,0){bl}[bl]   \tznode(2,0){br}[br]
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

%%------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Labeling dots and coordinates}
\label{si:labelingdots}

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzdot}, \protect\cmd{\tzcdot}}
\label{ssi:labeling:tzdot}

To add a label to a dot generated by |\tzdot| or |\tzcdot|, you should specify, \xem{right after a coordinate}, |{<label>}| followed by |[<angle>]| (|90| degree or |above| by default in \Tikz).

\textsc{Remember} that the order of the arguments is |(<coor>){<label>}[<angle>]|.
To change the size of a dot, you need to specify the last option |(<dimension>)| after all the other arguments.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzdot*(1,1){A}  % default: 90 or above
\tzdot(2,1){B}[0](4pt)
\tzcdot*(1,2){C}[180](2pt)
\tzcdot(3,2){D}[45]
\tzdot*(4,0){E}[[red,draw]180](4pt)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\begin{tztikz}
\tzcdot*(1,2){C}[180](2pt) % works like:
  \draw[fill] (1,2) circle (2pt) node [label={180:C}] {};
\end{tztikz}

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzcoor}}
\label{ssi:tzcoor}

\icmd{\tzcoor} can add a label to a coordinate. Just append the optional arguments |{<label>}| and |[<angle>]| after the two mandatory parenthesis arguments.

\remark
\textsc{Remember} the order of arguments is |(<coor>)(<name>){<label>}[<angle>]|.

\begin{tzdef}
% syntax: simplified
\tzcoor(<coor>)(<coor name>){<label>}[[<label opt>]<angle>]
% defaults
  (<m>)(<m>){}[]
% <m> means `mandatory'
\end{tzdef}

You can see the full syntax of |\tzcoor| in Section \ref{s:tzcoor} on page \pageref{s:tzcoor}.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,2)
\tzcoor(1,1)(A){A}  % default: 90 or above
\tzcoor(2,1)(B){B}[[red]0]
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\begin{tztikz}
\tzcoor(1,1)(B){B}[0]  % works like:
  \draw (1,1) coordinate (B) node [label={0:B}] {};
\tzcoor(1,1)(B){B}[[red]0]  % works like:
  \draw (1,1) coordinate (B) node [label={[red]0:B}] {};
\end{tztikz}

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzcoor*}}
\label{ssi:tzcoor*}

The starred version \icmd{\tzcoor*} designates a coordinate and prints a node dot with a label around the designated point like |\tzdot*| does.

\begin{tzdef}
% syntax: simflified
\tzcoor*[<dot opt>](<coor>)(<coor name>){<label>}[[<label opt>]<angle>](<dot size>)
\end{tzdef}

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzcoor(1,1)(A){A}  % default: 90 or above
\tzcoor(2,1)(B){B}[0]
\tzcoor*(1,2)(C){C}[180](4pt)
\tzcoor*[fill=none](3,2)(D){D}[45]
\tzcoor*(4,0)(E){E}[[red,draw]180](4pt)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\begin{tztikz}
\tzcoor*(1,2)(C){C}[180](4pt)  % works as follows:
  \tzcoor(1,2)(C)
  \tzdot*(C){C}[180](4pt)
\end{tztikz}

%%------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Adding text next to lines or curves}
\label{si:texttolines}

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzline}}
\label{ssi:texttotzline}

\icmd{\tzline} accepts two mandatory coordinates.
To add text to a line segment, just specify the optional arguments |{<text>}| and |[<node opt>]| \xem{in-between} the two coordinates. The |[<node opt>]| is |[above,midway]|, by default.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzline(0,0){route A}(3,0)
\tzline[dashed](1,1){route B}(4,1)
\tzline[blue]
       (0,3) {plan C} [below,near end] (3,3)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

The optional argument |{<text>}| \xem{following the second coordinate} can also be used as a name of the graph. By default, it is placed at the second coordinate.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzline(0,3)(4,0){demand}
\tzline(0,0)(3,3){supply}[r]
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}


\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzto}}
\label{ssi:texttotzto}

To add text to a line or a curve drawn by \icmd{\tzto}, just specify the optional arguments |{<text>}| and |[<node opt>]| \xem{in-between} the two coordinates. By default, the |[<node opt>]| is |[above,midway]|.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzto(0,0){route A}(3,0)
\tzto[dashed,bend left](1,1){route B}(4,1)
\tzto[blue,bend right]
     (0,3) {plan C} [below,near end] (3,3)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\begin{tztikz}
\tzto(0,0){route A}(3,0) % works like:
  \draw (0,3) to node [above] {route A} (3,0);
\end{tztikz}

The optional argument |{<text>}| \xem{following the second coordinate} can also be used as a name of the graph. By default, it is placed at the second coordinate.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzto[bend right=15](0,3)(4,0){demand}
\tzto[bend right=10](0,0)(3,3){supply}[r]
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}



\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzbezier}}
\label{ssi:texttotzbezier}

\icmd{\tzbezier} accepts three or four coordinates as arguments.
You can add text to the curve drawn by |\tzbezier| using the optional arguments |{<text>}| and |[<node opt>]| after the last coordinate.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzbezier(0,2)(1,3)(3,0)(4,1){curve}[r]
\tzbezier[red,yshift=-5mm]
         (0,2)(1,3)(3,0)(4,1){curve}[midway]
\tzbezier[green,text=blue,yshift=-10mm]
         (0,2)(1,3)(3,0)(4,1){curve}[b,near end]
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}


\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzparabola}}
\label{ssi:texttotzparabola}

You can add text to a parabola drawn by |\tzparabola| using the optional arguments |{<text>}| and |[<node opt>]| \xem{following the last coordinate}.
The text is placed at (by default) or around the last coordinate according to |[<node opt>]|.


\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzparabola(0,2)(1,.5)(3,2){$AC$}[r]
\tzparabola[bend at end,blue](0,0)(4,3){$u(x)$}[r,red]
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}


%%==================================
\chapter{An Intuitive Introduction II: Repetition of Coordinates}
\label{ci:introII}

%%------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Linking many coordinates: Semicolon versions}
\label{si:liknmanycoordinates}

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzlines}: Connected line segments}
\label{ssi:tzlines}

\icmd{\tzlines} connects with line segments an arbitrary number of coordinates. The coordinate iteration must end with a semicolon |;|.
Here, the \xem{semicolon} `|;|' indicates \xem{the end of repetition} of coordinates.
Let us call this kind of macro a \iisw{semicolon version} macro. 

\remark: Without the semicolon |;|, an error occurs with the the \iisw{error message}:
  \begin{verbatim}
  ! Package tzplot Error: You may have forgotten a semicolon here or above!
  \end{verbatim}

\begin{tzdef}
% syntax: minimal
\tzlines[<opt>](<coor>)(<coor>)..repeated..(<coor>);
% syntax: simplified
\tzlines[<opt>]"<path name>"
        (<coor>){<label>}[<angle>]..repeated..(<coor>){<label>}[<angle>];
% defaults
  []""(<m>){}[]..repeated..(){}[];
% <m> means mandatory
\end{tzdef}


\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzlines(0,0)(1,2)(3,0)
        (4,1)(2,2)(3,3)
        (0,3)(0,1)(4,2) ; % semicolon
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

With the optional argument |{<text>}| followed by |[<node opt>]| \xem{in-between two coordinates}, you can print |{<text>}| at or around the middle point of the corresponding line segment in accordance with |[<node opt>]| (by default |[midway]|).

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzlines[dashed,->](0,0){up}[l]
                   (1,2){down}[r]
                   (3,0){up}[r]
                   (4,1) ;       % semicolon
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

The optional argument |{<text>}| \xem{following the last coordinate} can be used as a name of the whole connected line segments. The |{<text>}| is placed at (by default) or around the last coordinate according to |[<node opt>]|.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[sloped,auto]
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzlines[dashed,->](0,0){up}
                   (1,2){down}
                   (3,0){up}
                   (4,1){Weight}[r,blue] ; % semicolon
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\textsc{Remember} the repeating pattern is the triple |(<coor>){<text>}[<node opt>]| in that order.
DO NOT FORGET to indicate when the repetition ends by typing a semicolon. So it will look like |(){}[]..repeated..(){}[];|.

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzpolygon}, \protect\cmd{\tzpolygon*}: Closed paths}
\label{ssi:tzpolygon}

\icmd{\tzpolygon} draws closed line segments. |\tzpolygon| is also one of semicolon versions, meaning that it has to end with a semicolon |;|.
In fact, |\tzpolygon| is a closed version of |\tzlines|.

The starred version |\tzpolygon*| does the same thing as |\tzpolygon| except for one thing.
|\tzpolygon*|, by default, fills the interior of the polygon with |black!50| with |fill opacity=.3| but with |text opacity=1|. (Changing the |fill opacity| is not an issue in this introduction. See Section \ref{ss:tzpolygon} on page \pageref{ss:tzpolygon} for more details.) 

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzpolygon(1,3)(0,2)(2,0)(3,1)(4,2)(2,3); % semicolon
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

The optional arguments |{<text>}| and |[<node opt>]| \xem{in-between} two coordinates prints |<text>| according to |[<node opt>]| (by default |[midway]|) around the middle point of the corresponding line segment.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzpolygon*[green,thick](1,3)(0,2)(2,0)(3,1)(4,2)(2,3);
\tzpolygon[dashed]
  (0,0){up}[l] (1,2){down}[r] (3,0){up}[r] (4,1);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

The options |{<text>}| and |[<node opt>]| following the last coordinate can be used as a name of the connected line segments. 

The entire repetition will look like |(<coor>){<text>}[<node opt>] ..repeated.. (){}[];|.
DO NOT FORGET to indicate when the repetition ends by typing a semicolon.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[sloped,auto]
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzpolygon[dashed]
  (0,0){up} (1,2){down} (3,0){up} (4,1){Weight}[r] ;
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzpath*}: Filling area}
\label{ssi:tzpath}

\icmd{\tzpath} accepts an arbitrary number of coordinates to form a path, like |\tzlines| does, but the path is invisible. This is a \xem{semicolon version} macro, so the coordinate iteration must be ended by a semicolon |;|.
With |[draw]| option you can visualize the invisible path.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzpath[draw](1,3)(0,2)(2,0)
             (3,1)(4,2)(2,3); % semicolon
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

You can fill the interior of a path formed by |\tzpath| (after being closed) with color or pattern, in usual \Tikz\ way.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzline[blue](0,3)(4,0)
\tzpath[pattern=crosshatch]
       (1,3)(0,2)(2,0)(3,1)(4,2)(2,3);
\tzpath[pattern=bricks,preaction={fill=brown}]
       (0,0) (1,2) (3,0) (4,1);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzline[blue](0,3)(4,0)
\tzpath[fill,green]
       (1,3)(0,2)(2,0)(3,1)(4,2)(2,3);
\tzpath[fill]
       (0,0) (1,2) (3,0) (4,1);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}



The starred version \icmd{\tzpath*} takes the default options |fill=black!50|, |fill opacity=.3|, and |text opacity=1| to fill the area.

\begin{tzdef}
% syntax: simplified
\tzpath*[<opt>](<coor>){<label>}[<angle>]..repeated..(<coor>){<label>}[<angle>];
% defaults
 *[fill=black!50,fill opacity=.3,text opacity=1](<m>){}[]..repeated..(){}[];
% <m> means mandatory
\end{tzdef}

The macros |\tzpath| and |\tzpath*| are much more flexible. See Section \ref{s:tzpath} on page \pageref{s:tzpath} for more details.


\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzline[blue](0,3)(4,0)
\tzpath*[green](1,3)(0,2)(2,0)(3,1)(4,2)(2,3);
\tzpath*(0,0) (1,2) (3,0) (4,1);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

How to change the |fill opacity| with |\tzpath*| is not discussed in this introduction, but one example is given below. (See Section \ref{s:tzpath*} on page \pageref{s:tzpath*} for more details.)

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzline[blue](0,3)(4,0)
\tzpath*[green](1,3)(0,2)(2,0)(3,1)(4,2)(2,3);{1} %%
\tzpath*(0,0) (1,2) (3,0) (4,1);{.7}              %%
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\section{Many dots: Semicolon versions}
\label{si:manydots}

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzcdots(*)}}
\label{ssi:tzcdots}

\icmd{\tzcdots} accepts an arbitrary number of coordinates to print circle dots, but the coordinate repetition must be ended by |;| (semicolon version).
\icmd{\tzcdots*} prints filled circle dots.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzcdots(0,0)(1,1)(2,1)(3,2)(4,3);
\tzcdots*[red](0,3)(1,3)(2,3)(3,3)(4,2); % semicolon
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

Each coordinate can be labeled by specifying the optional argument |{<label>}| followed by |[<angle>]|. You can also change the size (\xem{radius}) of the dots by specifying the \xem{last} parenthesis option |(<dot radius>)| \xem{after} the semicolon.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzcdots(0,0)(1,1){B}(2,1)(3,2){D}[-90](4,3);(5pt)
\tzcdots*[fill=red](0,3){A}
                   (1,3){B}
                   (2,3){C}[-90]
                   (3,3)
                   (4,2){E}[[blue]0];(3pt) % radius
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}



\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzdots(*)}}
\label{ssi:tzdots}

\icmd{\tzdots} accepts an arbitrary number of coordinates to print circle node dots, but the repetition must be ended by |;| (semicolon version).
\icmd{\tzdots*} prints filled circle node dots.

\begin{tzdef}
% syntax: minimum
\tzdots*(<coor>)(<coor>)..repeated..(<coor>);
% syntax: simplified
\tzdots*[<opt>](<coor>){<label>}[<angle>]..repeated..
               (<coor>){<label>}[<angle>]; (<dot size>)
% defaults
 *[tzdot=2.4pt](<m>){}[]..repeated..(){}[]; (2.4pt)
% <m> means mandatory
\end{tzdef}


\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzdots(0,0)(1,1)(2,1)(3,2)(4,3);
\tzdots*[red](0,3)(1,3)(2,3)(3,3)(4,2); % semicolon
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

Each coordinate can be labeled by specifying the optional argument |{<label>}| followed by |[<angle>]|. You can also change the size (\xem{diameter}) of the dots by specifying the \xem{last} parenthesis argument |(<dot size>)| \xem{after} the semicolon.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzdots(0,0)(1,1){B}(2,1)(3,2){D}[-90](4,3);(10pt)
\tzdots*[fill=red](0,3){A}
                  (1,3){B}
                  (2,3){C}[-90]
                  (3,3)
                  (4,2){E}[[blue]0];(6pt) % diameter
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}


%%------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Many coordinates: Semicolon versions}
\label{si:manycoordinates}

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzcoors}, \protect\cmd{\tzcoors*}}
\label{ssi:tzcoors}

|\tzcoor| accepts \xem{a pair} of mandatory arguments in parentheses: |(<coor>)(<name>)|.
The semicolon version macro \icmd{\tzcoors} accepts \xem{an arbitrary number of pairs} to define multiple coordinates. A semicolon `|;|' is necessary to indicate when the repetition ends.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzcoors(0,0)(A)
        (1,1)(B)
        (2,1)(C)
        (3,3)(D)
        (4,2)(E);
\tzlines(A)(B)(C)(D)(E); % semicolon
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

The options |{<label>}| and |[<angle>]| following \xem{each pair} of |(<coor>)| and |(<name>)| allow you to put |<label>| in the direction of |<angle>| around the coordinate.
Here, the repeating pattern is the quadruple |(<coor>)(<name>){<label>}[<angle>]|. The first two parenthesis arguments are mandatory and others are optional. The pattern is repeated until |\tzcoors| meets a semicolon |;|.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzcoors(0,0)(A){A}
         (1,1)(B)
         (2,1)(C){C}[0]
         (3,3)(D){D}[180]
         (4,2)(E){E}[-90];
\tzlines(A)(B)(C)(D)(E);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}


The starred version \icmd{\tzcoors*} does one more thing: to print node dots.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzcoors*(0,0)(A){A}
         (1,1)(B)
         (2,1)(C){C}[0]
         (3,3)(D){D}[180]
         (4,2)(E){E}[-90];
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}



\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzcoorsquick}}
\label{ssi:tzcoorsquick}

\icmd{\tzcoorsquick} is just to see the array of many coordinates at a glance.
|\tzcoorsquick| works like |\tzcoors|, but it automatically prints the name of each coordinate as its label, right at the point, by default.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzcoorsquick(0,0)(A)
             (1,1)(Best)
             (2,1)(Case)
             (3,3)(Done)
             (4,2)(End); % semicolon
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzcoorsquick*}}
\label{ssi:tzcoorsquick*}

The starred version \icmd{\tzcoorsquick*} prints node dots and automatically puts the labels |above| (in the direction of |90| degree from) them, by default.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzcoorsquick*(0,0)(A)
              (1,1)(Best)
              (2,1)(Case)
              (3,3)(Done)
              (4,2)(End){END!}[[blue]0];
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}


%%------------------------------------------------------------
\section{\texttt{plot coordinates}: Semicolon versions}
\label{si:plotcoordinates}

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzplot*}: Mark dots with \texttt{[mark=*]}}
\label{ssi:tzplot*}

\icmd{\tzplot*} accepts an arbitrary number of coordinates to print bullets with the \xem{radius} (|mark size| in \Tikz) of |2pt|, which is the initial value in \Tikz. Since this is a semicolon version, the repetition of coordinates must be ended by |;|.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzplot*(0,0)
        (1,1)
        (2,1)
        (3,3)
        (4,2) ; % semicolon
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\begin{tztikz}
\tzplot*(0,0)(1,1)(2,1); % works like:
  \draw [mark=*] plot coordinates {(0,0)(1,1)(2,1)};
\end{tztikz}

Each coordinate can be labeled by specifying the optional argument |{<text>}| followed by |[<angle>]|. With the option |[mark=o]| you can print hollow dots. You can also change the \xem{radius} of the marks by specifying the \xem{last} parenthesis argument |(<mark size>)| \xem{after} the semicolon.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzplot*[mark=o](0,0){A}
                (1,1){Best}
                (2,1){Case}
                (3,3){Done}
                (4,2){END!}[[blue]0] ; (1.2pt)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}


\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzplot}: Lines with \texttt{[tension=0]}}
\label{ssi:tzplot:lines}

\icmd{\tzplot} accepts an arbitrary number of coordinates and draws line segments connecting them. The repetition of coordinates must be ended by |;| (semicolon version).

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzplot(0,0)
       (1,1)
       (2,1)
       (3,3){Done}
       (4,2){END!}[[blue]0];
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\begin{tztikz}
\tzplot(0,0)(1,1)(2,1); % works like:
  \draw plot coordinates {(0,0)(1,1)(2,1)};
\end{tztikz}


\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzplot*[draw]}: Lines with dots}

\icmd{\tzplot*}|[draw]| prints bullet marks at the specified coordinates and draws line segments connecting them. The repetition of coordinates must be ended by |;| (semicolon version).

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzplot*[draw](0,0)
        (1,1)
        (2,1)
        (3,3)
        (4,2){END!}[[blue]0];
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}


\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzplotcurve}: Curves with \texttt{[smooth,tension=1]}}
\label{ssi:tzplotcurve}

\icmd{\tzplotcurve} plots any number of coordinates with the default option |[smooth,tension=1]|, resulting in a \xem{curve} connecting the specified coordinates.
The repetition of coordinates must be ended by |;| (semicolon version).

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzplotcurve(0,0)
            (1,1)
            (2,1)
            (3,3)
            (4,2){END!}[[blue]0] ; % semicolon
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\begin{tzdef}
% syntax: simplified
\tzplotcurve[<opt>]{<tension>}"<path name>"
            (<coor>){<label>}[<angle>]..repeated..(<coor>){<label>}[<angle>];
% defaults
  [smooth,tension=1]{1}""(<m>){}[]..repeated..(){}[];
% <m> means mandatory
\end{tzdef}

\begin{tztikz}
\tzplotcurve(0,0)(1,1)(2,1); % works like:
  \draw [smooth,tension=1] plot coordinates {(0,0)(1,1)(2,1)};
\end{tztikz}

You can change the tension value by specifying the optional argument |{<tension>}|, before the first coordinate.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzcoor(.5,.5)(A)
\tzplotcurve[blue]{2}(1,3)(A)(4,0);
\tzplotcurve[thick](1,3)(A)(4,0); % default: tension=1
\tzplotcurve[red]{.55}(1,3)(A)(4,0); % TikZ default

\section{Axes}
\label{si:axes}

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzaxes}}
\label{ssi:tzaxes}

\begin{tzdef}
% syntax: simplified
\tzaxes[<opt>]<x-shift,y-shift>(<x1,y1>)(<x2,y2>)
                               {<x-text>}[<x-opt>]{<y-text>}[<y-opt>]
% defaults
  [->]<0,0>(0,0)(<m>){}[right]{}[above]
% <m> means mandatory
\end{tzdef}

\icmd{\tzaxes} draws the x-axis from |<x1>| to |<x2>| and the y-axis from |<y1>| to |<y2>|.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
\tzhelplines(-1,-1)(8,5)
\tzaxes(-1,-1)(8,5) % basics
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

If |(<x1,y1>)| is omitted, it is regarded as |(0,0)|.
And optionally the names of x-axis and y-axis can be printed at a specified place (by default, |[right]| for x-axis and |[above]| for y-axis).

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
\tzhelplines(-1,-1)(8,5)
\tzaxes[draw=blue](8,5){$x$}{$y$} %%
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

With the optional argument |<x-shift,y-shift>|, the axes are shifted accordingly. Two axes intersect at |(<x-shift,y-shift>)|, by default |(0,0)|.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
\tzhelplines(-1,-1)(8,5)
\tzaxes(-1,-1)(8,5){$Q$}[b]{$P$}[l]
\tzaxes[dashed,-]<2,1>(-1,-1)(8,5) % shift
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzaxes*}}
\label{ssi:tzaxes*}

The starred version \icmd{\tzaxes*} is just to set the current state to a \iisw{bounding box} when the |\tzaxes| macro execution is completed. Use |\tzaxes*| before any larger graphics.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
\tzaxes*(8,5){$x$}{$f(x)$} % bounding box
\tzhelplines(-2,-1)(10,8)
\tzto[out=90,in=-135,dashed](-2,8)(12,-2)
\tzbezier[blue](-1,-1)(3,-2)(7,12)(10,10)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}


\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzshoworigin}, \protect\cmd{\tzshoworigin*}}
\label{ssi:tzshoworigin}

\icmd{\tzshoworigin} prints `$0$' (roughly) at the bottom left of the origin.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
\tzhelplines(-1,-1)(8,5)
\tzshoworigin
\tzaxes(-1,-1)(8,5)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\icmd{\tzshoworigin*} prints a \xem{node dot} with the size of |2.4pt| (by default) at the origin.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
\tzhelplines(-1,-1)(8,5)
\tzshoworigin*
\tzaxes(-1,-1)(8,5)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

|\tzshoworigin*(<coor>){<text>}[<node opt>]| prints a node dot and text around |(<coor>)|, by default |(0,0)|. (Notice that the place where the |<text>| is printed at is not by |<angle>|. Instead, you can use the \xem{abbreviations} of \Tikz\ basic placement options such as |a|, |l|, |br|, ect. See Section \ref{s:stylenames}, for more details.)

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
\tzhelplines(-1,-1)(8,5)
\tzshoworigin*{$O_1$}
\tzaxes(-1,-1)(8,5)
\tzaxes[blue]<7,4>(8,5)(-1,-1)
\tzshoworigin*(7,4){$O_2$}[ar]
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

Notice that, in the previous example, the two axes intersect at |(7,4)| by the shift option |<7,4>|.

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzaxisx}, \protect\cmd{\tzaxisy}}
\label{ssi:tzaxesx}

\icmd{\tzaxisx} draws an x-axis from |<x1>| to |<x2>|.

\begin{tzdef}
% syntax: simplified
\tzaxisx[<opt>]<y-shift>{<x1>}{<x2>}{<text>}[<node opt>]
% defaults
  [->,>=stealth]<0>{<m>}{<m>}{}[right]
\end{tzdef}

\icmd{\tzaxisy} works similarly for the y-axis, except for the axis label position: |above| by default.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
\tzhelplines(-1,-1)(8,5)
\tzaxisx{-1}{8}{$x$}
\tzaxisy[draw=blue,thick]{-1}{5}{$y$}
\tzaxisx[dashed,-]<2>{-1}{8}
\tzaxisy[thick,<->]<1>{-1}{5}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}


%%------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Ticks}
\label{si:tikzs}

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzticks}}
\label{ssi:tzticks}

\icmd{\tzticks}|{<x-tick places>}{<y-tick places>}| prints tick labels for x- and y-axis at specified places, which are comma separated.
By default, tick labels are the numbers specified.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5,font=\scriptsize]
\tzhelplines(8,5)
\tzshoworigin
\tzaxes(-1,-1)(8,5)
\tzticks{1,2,...,8} % x-ticks
        {1,2,...,5} % y-ticks
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

You can change the numbered labels, for example |{2,4,7}|, to any other form, by doing like, for example, |{2/mylabel,4,7}|. (Internally, |\tzticks| uses the |foreach| operation of \Tikz.)

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5,font=\scriptsize]
\tzhelplines(8,5)
\tzshoworigin
\tzaxes(-1,-1)(8,5)
\tzticks{2/x,4/y,5.5/$z_1$,7}
        {1,2.5/$\frac25$,4}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzticks*}}
\label{ssi:tzticks*}

The starred version \icmd{\tzticks*} prints tick marks from |0pt| to |3pt| by default, without printing tick labels.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5,font=\scriptsize]
%\tzhelplines(8,5)
\tzshoworigin
\tzaxes(-1,-1)(8,5)
\tzticks*{1,2,...,7}
         {1,2,3,4}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

You can change the length of tick marks, for example, like |(-2pt:3pt)| and |(-5pt:10pt)| as shown in the following example.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
\tzhelplines(-1,-1)(8,5)
\tzaxes(-1,-1)(8,5)
\tzticks*(-2pt:3pt){1,2,...,7}
         (-5pt:10pt){1,2,3,4}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}


\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzticksx(*)}, \protect\cmd{\tzticksy(*)}}
\label{ssi:tztikcsx}

\icmd{\tzticksx} and \icmd{\tzticksy} prints x-tick labels and y-tick labels, respectively.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5,font=\scriptsize]
\tzhelplines(8,5)
\tzaxes(-1,-1)(8,5)
\tzticksx{1/x,3/y,5/z,7}
\tzticksy(-5pt:10pt){1,2,4/k}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\icmd{\tzticksx*} and \icmd{\tzticksy*} suppress tick labels for their corresponding axes, like |\tzticks*|.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5,font=\scriptsize]
%\tzhelplines(8,5)
\tzaxes(-1,-1)(8,5)
\tzticksx*{1/x,3/y,5/z,7}
\tzticksy*(-5pt:10pt){1,2,4/k}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

You can see more details on |\tzticks| and its friends in Chaper \ref{c:ticks} on page \pageref{c:ticks}.


%%------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Projections on the axes}
\label{si:projections}


\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzprojx(*)}, \protect\cmd{\tzprojy(*)}}
\label{ssi:tzprojx}

\icmd{\tzprojx} draws a \xem{dotted line} (by default) from a specified coordinate to its projection point on the x-axis and prints text around (|[below]| by default) the projection point.

|\tzprojy| works similarly but for the projection point on the y-axis.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzaxes(4,3)
\tzdot*(3,2){$(x_1,x_2)$}[45]
\tzprojx(3,2){$x_1$}
\tzprojy[solid,->,draw=blue](3,2){$x_2$}[bl]
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\icmd{\tzprojx*} does one more thing. It prints a node dot (with |\tzdot*|) at a specified coordinate. |\tzprojy*| works similarly but for the projection point on the y-axis.


\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
%\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzaxes(4,3)
\tznode(3,2){$(x_1,x_2)$}[ar]
\tzprojx*(3,2){$x_1$}[xshift=-3pt]
\tzprojy[->,dashed,draw=red](3,2){$x_2$}
\tzprojx*(1.5,2.5){$a$}
\tzprojy*(2.5,1.5){$b$}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}


\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzproj(*)}}

\section{Plot functions}
\label{si:plotfunctions}

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzfn}}
\label{ssi:tzfn}

\icmd{\tzfn}|{<fn of \x>}[<a:b>]| plots a function of $x$ over the specified domain $[a:b]$, which means that $a\leq x \leq b$.
Optionally, you can add |{<text>}| with |[<node opt>]| as shown in the following example.

\begin{tzdef}
% syntax: simplified
\tzfn[<opt>]"<path name>"{<fn of \x>}[<a:b>]{<text>}[<node dot>]
% defaults
  []""{<m>}[<m>]{}[]
% <m>: mandatory
\end{tzdef}

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.7]
\tzhelplines(5,5)
\tzaxes(5,5)
\tzfn{(\x-1)^2}[0:3]               % y=(x-1)^2
\def\Gx{(\x-2)^2+1}
\tzfn[dashed]{\Gx}[1:4]{$g(x)$}[r] % g(x)=(x-2)^2+1
\tzfn[red]{sin(\x r)+3}[0:2*pi]    % y=sin x
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\begin{tztikz}
\tzfn[dashed]{(\x-2)^2+1}[1:4]{$g(x)$}[r] % works like:
  \draw [dashed] plot [domain=1:4] (\x,{(\x-2)^2+1}) node [right] {$g(x)$};
\end{tztikz}

You can name a path formed by |\tzfn| by specifying the optional argument |"<path name>"| right before the mandatory curly brace argument |{<fn of \x>}|. The name of a path is used to find intersection points.


\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.7,font=\footnotesize]
\tzhelplines(5,5)
\tzaxes(5,5){$x$}{$y$}
\def\bgt{4-\x}
\def\IC{3/\x}
\def\ICa{4/\x}
\tzfn"bgt"{\bgt}[0:4]       % name path = bgt
\tzfn[blue]"IC"{\IC}[.75:4] % name path = IC
\tzfn[red]{\ICa}[1:4] % name path = ICa (automatically)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\remark
If the curly brace mandatory argument consists of \xem{only a macro name} like |{\Foo}|, the macro name |Foo| (without the backslash) is automatically assigned to the \xem{name of the path}. (See Section \ref{ss:tzfn:namepath} on page \pageref{ss:tzfn:namepath}, for more details.)

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzhfnat}, \protect\cmd{\tzhfn}: Horizontal lines}
\label{ssi:tzhfn}

\icmd{\tzhfnat} accepts a value of $y$ and draws a horizontal line (the graph of a constant function) at $y$ from left to right of the \ixxw{current bounding box}, by default, unless you specify the optional argument |[<from:to>]|.

\begin{tzdef}
% syntax
\tzhfnat[<opt>]"<path name>"{<y-val>}[<from:to>]{<text>}[<node opt>]
% defaults
  []""{<m>}[west:east (of current bounding box)]{}[]
\end{tzdef}

\icmd{\tzhfn}|(<coor>)| accepts a coordinate, instead of the value of $y$, to draw a horizontal line at the value of $y$ coordinate of |(<coor>)|, ignoring the value of $x$ coordinate.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzhfnat{0}                               % value of y
\tzhfnat[dashed]{1}[1:4]{Two}[l,at start] % value of y
\tzcoors(0,2)(A)(0,3)(B);
\tzhfn[blue](A)[0:3]{Three}[b,near end]   % coordinate
\tzhfn[->](B)[0:3]{Four}[r]               % cooridnate
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}


\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzvfnat}, \protect\cmd{\tzvfn}: Vertical lines}
\label{ssi:tzvfn}

\icmd{\tzvfnat} draws a vertical line at $x$ from bottom to top of the |current bounding box| by default.

\begin{tzdef}
% syntax: simplified
\tzvfnat[<opt>]"<path name>"{<x-vale>}[<from:to>]{<text>}[<pos>]
% defaults
  []""{<m>}[south:north (of current bounding box)]{}[]
\end{tzdef}

\icmd{\tzvfn}|(<coor>)| accepts a coordinate, instead of the value of $x$. It draws a vertical line at the value of $x$ coordinate of |(<coor>)|, ignoring the value of $y$ coordinate.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzvfnat{0}
\tzvfnat[dashed]{1}[1:3]{Two}[b,at start]
\tzvfn[blue](2,0)[0:3]{Three}[a,near end,sloped]
\tzvfn[->](3,0)[0:3]{Four}[r]
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}



\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzLFn}: Linear functions}
\label{ssi:tzLFn}

\icmd{\tzLFn}|(<coor1>)(<coor2>)...| draws a \xem{linear function} passing through two points: |(<coor1>)| and |(<coor2>)|.
|\tzLFn(<coor1>){<slope>}...| draws a linear function passing through one point, |(<coor1>)|,  with the slope of |<slope>|. If two coordinates and a slope are all specified the option |{<slope>}| is ignored. The domain in the form of |[a:b]| is also a required argument.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.7,font=\footnotesize]
\tzhelplines(5,5)
\tzaxes(-1,-1)(5,5)
\tzdots*(1,1)(3,2);
\tzLFn(1,1)(3,2)[0:4]{two points}[r]
\tzLFn(1,1){1.5}[0:3]{one point and a slope}[r]
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}



%%------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Intersection points}
\label{si:intersections}

\subsection{Naming paths}
\label{ssi:namingpaths}

In \Tikz, you can find \xem{intersection} points when two \xem{named paths} intersect. The name of a path is usually given by the option |[name path=<path name>]| in \Tikz.

With the package \pkg{tzplot}, you can name a path by specifying an optional argument within quotation marks such as |"<path name>"|.
(Of course, you can also name a path in usual \Tikz\ way, like |[name path=<path name>]|.)

In this package, all macros (with a few exceptions) related to lines and curves accept this quote optional argument to name paths as follows:

\begin{verbatim}
    \tzline[<opt>]"<path name>"(<coor>)...
    \tzlines...   "<path name>"(<coor>)...
    \tzto...      "<path name>"(<coor>)...
    \tzfn...      "<path name>"{<fn of \x>}...
    \tzLFn...     "<path name>"(<coor>)...
    and more...
\end{verbatim}

\begin{tztikz}
\tzline[dashed]"foo"(1,1)(3,3) % works like
  \draw [dashed,name path=foo](1,1) -- (3,3);
\end{tztikz}

In most cases, the quote optional arguments for naming paths are placed \xem{immediately before the first mandatory argument} of the |tzplot| macros.

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzXpoint(*)}: Intersection points of two paths}
\label{ssi:tzXpoint}

For example, \icmd{\tzXpoint}|{path1}{path2}(A)| finds intersection points of |path1| and |path2| and names the first intersection point |(A)|. This intersection point can be referred to as |(A)| or |(A-1)|. If there are two or more intersection points found, they are called |(A)=(A-1)|, |(A-2)|, |(A-3)|, and so on.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tzhelplines(4,3)
\tzline"AA"(0,0)(3,2)
\tzline"BB"(0,3)(3,0)
\tzXpoint{AA}{BB}(X)
\tzdot*(X){E}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\icmd{\tzXpoint*} prints a node dot at the first intersection point.
You can label the point by specifying |{<text>}| and |[<angle>]| after the specified intersection name.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.7,font=\footnotesize]
\tzhelplines(5,5)
\tzaxes(5,5){$x$}{$y$}
\def\bgt{4-\x}
\def\IC{3/\x}
\tzfn"bgt"{\bgt}[0:4]           % name path = bgt
\tzfn[blue]"IC"{\IC}[.75:4]     % name path = IC
\tzXpoint*{bgt}{IC}(E){$A$}[45] % first intersection
\tzdot(E-2){$B$}[45](5pt)       % second intersection
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\remark
You have to expect \Tikz\ to take a few seconds (or less) to find intersection points.

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzvXpointat(*)}, \protect\cmd{\tzvXpoint(*)}: Vertical intersection points}
\label{ssi:tzvXpoint}

To find vertical intersection points at $x$ to a curve, you should specify a path name and either the value of $x$ or the coordinate $(x,y)$. Here the $y$ coordinate is ignored.

\icmd{\tzvXpointat}|{<path>}{<x>}(A)| finds vertical intersection points of |<path>| at  $x=\texttt{<x>}$ and names it |(A)|.
The starred version \icmd{\tzvXpointat*} additionally prints a node dot at the (first) intersection point.

The macro \icmd{\tzvXpoint} uses |(<coor>)|, while |\tzvXpointat| uses the value of $x$. Here the $y$ coordinate of |(<coor>)| is not important. |\tzvXpoint| is useful when you do not know the exact value of $x$ coordinate of |(<coor>)|.
The starred version \icmd{\tzvXpoint*} additionally prints a node dot at the (first) intersection point.


\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.7,font=\scriptsize]
\tzhelplines(5,5)
\tzaxes(5,5)
\def\Fx{(\x-1)^2}
\tzfn\Fx[0:3] % name path = Fx (automatically)
\tzvXpointat{Fx}{2.5}(A)
\tzvXpoint{Fx}(2.8,1)(B) % y=1 is ignored
\tzproj*[->](A){$2.5$}{$f(2.5)$}
\tzdot(B){$B$}[0]
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}


\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzhXpointat(*)}, \protect\cmd{\tzhXpoint(*)}: Horizontal intersection points}
\label{ssi:tzhXpoint}

\icmd{\tzhXpointat}|{<path>}{<y>}(A)| works like |\tzvXpointat{<path>}{<x>}(A)|, but it uses the value of $y$ instead of $x$.
The starred version \icmd{\tzhXpointat*} additionally prints a node dot at the (first) intersection point.

\icmd{\tzhXpoint} uses |(<coor>)|, while |\tzhXpointat| uses the value of $y$.
Here the $x$ coordinate of |(<coor>)| is ignored.
The starred version \icmd{\tzhXpoint*} prints a node dot at the (first) intersection point.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.7,font=\scriptsize]
\tzhelplines(5,5)
\tzaxes(5,5)
\def\Fx{(\x-1)^2}
\tzfn\Fx[0:3] % name path = Fx (automatically)
\tzhXpointat{Fx}{2.5}(A)
\tzhXpoint{Fx}(1,2.8)(B) % x=1 is ignored
\tzproj*[<-](A){$f^{-1}(2.5)$}{$y=2.5$}
\tzdot(B){$B$}[0]
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

You can see more details on |\tzXpoint| and its friends in Chapter \ref{c:intersections} on page \pageref{c:intersections}.

\section{Tangent lines and secant lines}
\label{si:tangentlines}

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tztangentat}}
\label{ssi:tztangentat}

\icmd{\tztangentat}|{<path>}{<x>}[<a:b>]| draws a tangent line to |<path>| at $x=\texttt{<x>}$ over $x\in [a,b]$.
The domain is a mandatory argument and should be of the form |[<from:to>]|.

\begin{tzdef}
% syntax: simplified
\tztangentat{<path>}{<x>}[<domain>]{<text>}[<node opt>]
% defaults
  []{<m>}{<m>}[<m>]{}[]
% <m> means mandatory
\end{tzdef}


\remark
The slope of a tangent line drawn by |\tztangentat| is just approximate.

The line is drawn on the |behind| layer, by default.

You can also add some text next to the tangent line by specifying the optional arguments |{<text>}| and |[<node opt>]|, after the domain.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.7]
\tzhelplines(5,5)
\tzparabola[thick,blue]"curve"(0,1)(2,3)(4,2)
\tzvXpointat*{curve}{1}
\tzvXpointat*{curve}{3}
\tztangentat{curve}{1}[0:3]
\tztangentat[red]{curve}{3}[1:5]{tangent at $x=3$}[b]
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tztangent}}
\label{ssi:tztangent}

\icmd{\tztangent} works like |\tztangentat|, but it accepts a coordinate instead of the value of $x$.

|\tztangent{<path>}(<coor>)| draws a tangent line to |<path>| at the $x$ coordinate of |(<coor>)|. Here, the $y$ coordinate of |(<coor>)| is ignored. The line is drawn on the |behind| layer, by default.


\begin{tzdef}
% syntax: simplified
\tztangent{<path>}(<coor>)[<from:to>]{<text>}[<node opt>]
% defaults
  []{<m>}(<m>)[<m>]{}[]
\end{tzdef}

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.7]
\tzhelplines(5,5)
\tzparabola[thick,blue]"curve"(0,1)(2,3)(4,2)
\tzvXpoint*{curve}(1,0)(A){A}[135]
\tzvXpoint*{curve}(3,0)(B){B}[45]
\tztangent{curve}(A)[0:3]
\tztangent[red]{curve}(B)[1:5]{tangent at $B$}[b]
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}


See Section \ref{s:tangent} on page \pageref{s:tangent} for more details on |\tztangent| and |\tztangentat|.


\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzsecantat}, \protect\cmd{\tzsecant}}
\label{ssi:tzsecant}

\icmd{\tzsecantat}|{<path>}{<x1>}{<x2>}| draws a secant line segment of |<path>| from $x_1=\texttt{<x1>}$ to $x_2=\texttt{<x2>}$ on the |behind| layer, by default.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.7]
\tzhelplines(5,5)
\tzaxes*(5,5)
\tzparabola"curve"(0,1)(2,3)(5,1)
\tzsecantat{curve}{1}{2}
\tzsecantat[red]{curve}{1}{3}
\tzsecantat[blue]{curve}{1}{4}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

\icmd{\tzsecant} works like |\tzsecantat|, but it accepts two coordinates instead of two values of $x$.

|\tzsecant{<path>}(<coor1>)(<coor2>)| draws a secant line segment of |<path>| from the $x$ coordinate of |(<coor1>)| to the $x$ coordinate of |(<coor2>)|, ignoring $y$ values of the coordinates, on the |behind| layer by default.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.7]
\tzhelplines(5,5)
\tzaxes(5,5)
\tzparabola"curve"(0,1)(2,3)(5,1)
\tzsecant{curve}(1,0)(2,0)
\tzsecant[red]{curve}(1,0)(3,0)
\tzsecant[blue,dashed]{curve}(1,0)(4,0)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}


You can extend or shorten a secant line by specifying the domain |[<from:to>]|, which is an optional argument.
If you specify the domain, |\tzsecant| draws a secant line over the domain.
You can also add some text next to the secant line by specifying the optional arguments |{<text>}| and |[<node opt>]|.

\begin{tzcode}{.3}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.7]
\tzhelplines[use as bounding box](5,5)
\tzaxes(5,5)
\tzparabola"curve"(0,1)(2,3)(5,1)
\tzsecant{curve}(1,0)(2,0)
\tzsecant[red]{curve}(1,0)(3,0)[0:5]{secant}[r]
\tzsecantat[blue,dashed]{curve}{1}{4}[0:5]{blue}[r]
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tzcode}

See Section \ref{s:secant} on page \pageref{s:secant} for more details on |\tzsecant| and |\tzsecantat|.
