Materials for learning TikZ
I feel intimidated in learning TikZ. I was wondering if there are some nice materials (or just your replies) at different level:
- for providing big picture, which is
important to beginners to not lose
direction during learning. - for comprehensive reference.
Examples are important, but only examples are not always clear for understanding the big picture and organization.

The manual has both extended examples and a reference. Is it not to your liking?

@Matthew: There are too many details and it is suitable for comprehensive reference. Is there some concise one?

If you are intimidated the Tikz manual then I would suggest a much shorter PDF
by Mertz and Slough from TUGboat volume 30 at:
http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb30-2/tb95mertz.pdf and another example, a little bit longer with more depth is a "Minimal Introduction to Tikz" that you can find on the CTAN site here. But really, the Tikz manual is excellent and authoritative. Thanks to Jasper Loy for the manual he pointed out and, finally, let me mention the excellent site for PGFPlots for those interested in examples of mathematical plots that can be downloaded (a la TEXample.net) at:

If you read French, there's an excellent guide for the impatient at http://math.et.info.free.fr/TikZ/index.html. And in the Cahiers Gutenberg there's a tutorial by Yves Soulet, and another by Till Tantau himself.

As a simple starting point, I would like to add Quack Guide No. 2
The Morse code of TikZ, section 3 from the second DuckBoat by prof. van Duck, TUGboat, Volume 39 (2018), No. 3.
Errata corrige: text dept of Figure 2 should have been text depth, of course.

If you are intimidated the Tikz manual then I would suggest a much shorter PDF

http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb30-2/tb95mertz.pdf and another example, a little bit longer with more depth is a "Minimal Introduction to Tikz" that you can find on the CTAN site here. But really, the Tikz manual is excellent and authoritative.

But really, the Tikz manual is excellent and authoritative. Thanks to Jasper Loy for the manual he pointed out and, finally, let me mention the excellent site for PGFPlots for those interested in examples of mathematical plots that can be downloaded (a la TEXample.net) at:

If you read French, there's an excellent guide for the impatient at http://math.et.info.free.fr/TikZ/index.html. And in the Cahiers Gutenberg there's a tutorial by Yves Soulet, and another by Till Tantau himself.

As a simple starting point, I would like to add Quack Guide No. 2
The Morse code of TikZ, section 3 from the second DuckBoat by prof. van Duck, TUGboat, Volume 39 (2018), No. 3.
Errata corrige: text dept of Figure 2 should have been text depth, of course.

The manual has both extended examples and a reference. Is it not to your liking?

@Matthew: There are too many details and it is suitable for comprehensive reference. Is there some concise one?
