TikZ-trackschematic

Installation

The tikz library is contained in the files:

tikzlibrarytrackschematic.code.tex,
tikzlibrarytrackschematic.topology.code.tex,
tikzlibrarytrackschematic.trafficcontrol.code.tex,
tikzlibrarytrackschematic.vehicles.code.tex,
tikzlibrarytrackschematic.constructions.code.tex, and
tikzlibrarytrackschematic.messures.code.tex. These files should be copied wherever TeX can find it, for example in your TEXMF folder. The library can then be loaded through the command \usetikzlibrary{trackschematic} in any tex file.

Usage

\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{trackschematic}
\begin{document}

  \begin{tikzpicture}

    \coordinate (A)   at (0,0);
    \coordinate (B)   at (6,0);
    \coordinate (T)   at (5,0);

    \maintrack (A) -- (B);
    \train[forward] at (T) label (train);

  \end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}
