TikZ-trackschematic

License: ISC DOI continuous integration test

Installation

The tikz library is contained in the files:

  • tikz-trackschematic.sty
  • tikzlibrarytrackschematic.code.tex,
  • tikzlibrarytrackschematic.topology.code.tex,
  • tikzlibrarytrackschematic.trafficcontrol.code.tex,
  • tikzlibrarytrackschematic.vehicles.code.tex,
  • tikzlibrarytrackschematic.constructions.code.tex,
  • tikzlibrarytrackschematic.symbology.code.tex,
  • tikzlibrarytrackschematic.electrics.code.tex, and
  • tikzlibrarytrackschematic.measures.code.tex.

These files should be copied wherever TeX can find it, for example in your $TEXMF folder.

Alternatively, the tikz library is provided by CTAN as "tikz-trackschematic" and is thus part of the TeX Live distribution or can be installed via MiKTeX.

The library can then be loaded through the command

\usepackage{tikz-trackschematic}

in any LaTeX file.

The library can also be used in Overleaf.

Minimal working example

\documentclass{standalone} % LaTeX
\usepackage{tikz-trackschematic} % loading the library

\begin{document}
  \begin{tikzpicture}

    % TikZ command: specify coordinates
    \coordinate (A)   at (0,0);
    \coordinate (B)   at (6,0);
    \coordinate (T)   at (5,0);

    % draw a track
    \maintrack (A) -- (B);

    % place a train on the track
    \train[forward] at (T) label ();

  \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

results in:

train on a track

Symbology and meaning

Please consult the symbology table for further information regarding meaning of the symbols.

Roadmap

  • rethink syntax
  • provide option for internationalziation (i18n)
  • rewrite library with better coding skills
  • include support for glossaries package
