The talk introduces TikZ and PGFPlots, two LaTeX-based packages for producing high-quality vector graphics and scientific plots. It explains their core structure, syntax, and advantages in terms of precision, consistency, and seamless integration within academic manuscripts. The talk contrasts diagram-oriented design in TikZ with data-driven visualization in PGFPlots, highlighting their complementary roles in research workflows. Practical examples illustrate basic and advanced figure creation, including integration with Python and MATLAB through automated conversion tools. Finally, the presentation outlines best practices for incorporating figures into papers and theses.
