# Extract TikZ Diagrams to SVG Extract TikZ diagrams from the Beamer source, compile to multi-page PDF, and convert each page to SVG for use in Quarto slides. ## Steps ### Step 0: Freshness Check (MANDATORY) **Before compiling, verify that `extract_tikz.tex` matches the current Beamer source.** 1. Find the Beamer source: `ls Slides/$ARGUMENTS*.tex` 2. Extract all `\begin{tikzpicture}` blocks from Beamer 3. Compare with `Figures/$ARGUMENTS/extract_tikz.tex` 4. If ANY difference exists: update extract_tikz.tex from the Beamer source 5. If extract_tikz.tex doesn't exist: create it from scratch ### Step 1: Navigate to the lecture's Figures directory ```bash cd Figures/$ARGUMENTS ``` ### Step 2: Compile the extract_tikz.tex file ```bash TEXINPUTS=../../Preambles:$TEXINPUTS xelatex -interaction=nonstopmode extract_tikz.tex ``` ### Step 3: Count the number of pages ```bash pdfinfo extract_tikz.pdf | grep "Pages:" ``` ### Step 4: Convert each page to SVG using 0-BASED INDEXING **CRITICAL: PDF pages are 1-indexed, but output SVG files are 0-indexed!** ```bash PAGES=$(pdfinfo extract_tikz.pdf | grep "Pages:" | awk '{print $2}') for i in $(seq 1 $PAGES); do idx=$(printf "%02d" $((i-1))) pdf2s

cd Figures/$ARGUMENTS
pdfinfo extract_tikz.pdf | grep "Pages:"
for i in $(seq 1 $PAGES); do
pdf2svg extract_tikz.pdf tikz_exact_$idx.svg $i
done
