Axel Kittenberger submitted the luatikz package. Version: 2.12.0 2024-12-04 License: lppl1.3c mit Summary description: A 2D graphics library to draw TikZ graphics using the Lua programming language Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Introducing luatikz as a comfort graphics library to work with graphic objects as immutables in the Lua programming language. It writes code for the TikZ package. It overloads operators, so you can use standard math expressions to work with graphical objects. There probably isn’t anything that couldn’t been done just as well with pgfmath and TikZ directly. However, if a graphic gets more complicated, for me Lua is just easier to work with as base. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/luatikz The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/luatikz/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
