This package defines a few simple TikZ charts that can be drawn using LaTeX environments.
See examples in the included documentation.
This package has been developed mainly to typeset a fancy résumé, but perhaps it could be used in other contexts too. I didn't want to write TikZ charts directly in the document as it would have turned a simple typesetting file into an unreadable document, and I would have forgotten every detail after just a few months.
I wouldn't have the patience to develop this with LaTeX or TeX either, but I was curious enough
about expl3
to try an implementation. You should probably take this package as a rough
tutorial on how to develop with expl3
because it uses nearly all the types defined in the
reference documentation (expansion control, seq
, prop
, keys
, int
, bool
, fp
, dim
,
msg
, ...) in straightforward ways.
TeX will always be that dusty tech you can't ignore because there are so many (unmatched)
packages coming from academic circles. expl3
gives a touch of modernity and facilitates a
lot package development by allowing to easily bridge LaTeX packages together (here LaTeX and TikZ).
It is not yet published on CTAN, but you can clone the
repository and do a l3build install
.
git clone https://github.com/eburghar/l3charts
cd l3charts
l3build install
