How can we draw a duck (in order to create a tikzducks package and store it in CTAN)?












77
















This question led to a new package:
tikzducks




We have a scsnowman package but we don't have a ducks package, that's quite inexplicable since ducks are frequently used on TeX.SE (e.g., samcarter had to fall back on PHdove of phaistos package here).



I'm not an expert, nevertheless, I'd like to create a tikzducks package, similar to tikzpeople, but I need your help in order to create a customizable duck!



Requirements:




  • I'd like to have a duck, not something a bit like it (ducks with a human body are NOT accepted)

  • wings are mandatory

  • from the look of the duck, it should appear cleary that it was
    created with LaTeX, not with other commercial tools.


Possible color-keys for the duck:




  • body

  • head

  • wings

  • eyes

  • beak.


Possible optional add-ons:




  • hat

  • sport tools (e.g., cricket bat)

  • male/female versions

  • a seasonal version

  • a Chinese version

  • a cook version (not cooked version)

  • a mathematician version.


As shown in Ulrike Fisher's answer, tikzpeople package has a beak feature but it doesn't allow to change the body of the image, so we get a person with a beak (quite ugly).



Loopspace pointed out that there is already a ducks package but it doesn't allow to change the style of the duck (like tikzpeople does for people) and it is not yet present in CTAN.



Moreover, I'd like a style similar to this example of the seasonal version:

Go wild!




P.S. = consider this question as if it has always a bounty open!

    Why not a male version if there is to be a female version? Male birds are typically the more interesting to look at, given their tendency to favour fantastical displays in techni-colour glory.

    If there is to be a duck adorned with a flowery necklace, why not name it descriptively (flowerduck) rather than implying that flowers have the meaning 'female'? Semantic ideals of LaTeX and all that.

    @UlrikeFischer I am the author of scsnowman; sc means "snowman commedian". Some TeXnicians in Japan are interested in the variety of snowman glyphs in Unicode fonts (I also described in the package documentatkon) and they are sometimes called "snowman enthusiasts" or "snowman comedians" (including me!).

No new ducks will be added to the question, instead this project moved on to become a latex package. Please visit the project repository at https://github.com/samcarter/tikzducks or have a look at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/tikzducks if you want to see new ducks :)

    @JPi Only one, as the "New rule" does not apply for old votes :) However its hard to keep the pace ...

    You can join efforts with Nils Fleis­chhacker (tikzpeople author) and create a new tikzducks package :)

    tikzpeople don't have hands or wings (but can hold a sword and a shield)

  • Why the horns? Is it a devil duck?

    – jamesqf
    Jan 2 '17 at 22:16











  • @CarLaTeX The point is: the package already provides ducks. The question should take account of this: how can the package be used to create a duck? Or how can we draw a duck, given that the packages available to draw ducks are all lacking in some way? Or whatever.

    @jamesqf It is not a devil duck, but a viking duck. The code is not over until the fat duck sings. For comparable memes with other animals, google "viking kitty".

    Do you know Room on the Broom (kids' book)? he duck sits just where the cat does in the illustrations. The witch had a duck and... I wonder what a good rhyme would be

  • @ChrisH I didn't know that kids' book, but in the halloweenmath package there is a black cat on the broom, let's see if someone can find a good rhyme! Hahaha

  • Really lovely! (:-) But why not node {$displaystylemathwitch$}?

I'm pretty sure that somebody is going to complain that this answer is insufficiently serious and unworthy of this site's lofty aims. To the critics say I, you clearly spend too little time mucking about in the river.

No new ducks will be added to the question, instead this project moved on to become a latex package. Please visit the project repository at https://github.com/samcarter/tikzducks or have a look at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/tikzducks if you want to see new ducks :)

    You can join efforts with Nils Fleis­chhacker (tikzpeople author) and create a new tikzducks package :)

No new ducks will be added to the question, instead this project moved on to become a latex package. Please visit the project repository at https://github.com/samcarter/tikzducks or have a look at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/tikzducks if you want to see new ducks :)

    You can join efforts with Nils Fleis­chhacker (tikzpeople author) and create a new tikzducks package :)

No new ducks will be added to the question, instead this project moved on to become a latex package. Please visit the project repository at https://github.com/samcarter/tikzducks or have a look at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/tikzducks if you want to see new ducks :)

No new ducks will be added to the question, instead this project moved on to become a latex package. Please visit the project repository at https://github.com/samcarter/tikzducks or have a look at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/tikzducks if you want to see new ducks :)

  • @CarLaTeX The point is: the package already provides ducks. The question should take account of this: how can the package be used to create a duck? Or how can we draw a duck, given that the packages available to draw ducks are all lacking in some way? Or whatever.

  • +1! But I cannot see the rationale for including (or even just for considering inclusion of) the halloweenmath package…

    Do you know Room on the Broom (kids' book)? he duck sits just where the cat does in the illustrations. The witch had a duck and... I wonder what a good rhyme would be

  • @ChrisH I didn't know that kids' book, but in the halloweenmath package there is a black cat on the broom, let's see if someone can find a good rhyme! Hahaha

  • Really lovely! (:-) But why not node {$displaystylemathwitch$}?

  • I think that just the beard is worth it! :-) And now that you are at it, what about a duck pursued by a ghost? :o)

  • +1! But I cannot see the rationale for including (or even just for considering inclusion of) the halloweenmath package…

    Do you know Room on the Broom (kids' book)? he duck sits just where the cat does in the illustrations. The witch had a duck and... I wonder what a good rhyme would be

  • @ChrisH I didn't know that kids' book, but in the halloweenmath package there is a black cat on the broom, let's see if someone can find a good rhyme! Hahaha

  • Really lovely! (:-) But why not node {$displaystylemathwitch$}?

  • I think that just the beard is worth it! :-) And now that you are at it, what about a duck pursued by a ghost? :o)
