About:
LaTexDraw is a graphical editor designed to simplify the creation of PSTricks code for LaTeX documents. It enables users to visually create complex diagrams, plots, and geometric figures, which are then exported as clean, compilable LaTeX code. This tool bridges the gap between visual design and code-based typesetting, streamlining the workflow for academic and technical documentation.

Key Features:

Visual drag-and-drop interface for drawing
Generates clean PSTricks and TikZ code
Supports various shapes, plots, and mathematical curves
LaTeX integration for fonts and formulas

Use Cases:

Creating complex diagrams for academic papers and theses
Generating geometric figures for educational materials
Designing plots and charts for technical reports

Alternatives:

TikZiT – TikZiT is a similar GUI tool but focuses specifically on creating TikZ graphs, whereas LaTexDraw supports a broader range of PSTricks elements.
Inkscape – Inkscape is a more powerful general-purpose vector editor that can export to PDF with LaTeX text, but it does not generate native PSTricks or TikZ code directly.
