Vector Art vs. Raster Art

TikZ is used for producing vector graphics. This makes it easy toimport Tikz output from many vector graphics editors and vectorbased diagramming software.

The makings of Jeff 

To create our beloved pillar of AIMS in LA

TEX, a tool calledSvg2tikz was used.

Svg2tikz can be used in three ways:

1 As an Inkscape extension for exporting SVG paths asTikZ/PGF paths.
