TikZit is a cross-platform application that allows the creation and modification of TeX diagrams written using the pgf/TikZ macro library. It is especially geared toward rapidly creating "dot"-diagrams for use in academic papers.

It comes in two flavours: MacOSX (Cocoa) and GTK+.  Note that you will need to build from source on UNIX systems (or use distribution packages, if available).

## Requirements

### GTK+ flavour
* GNUstep (base libraries - 1.18.0 minimum)
* GTK+ (2.18.0 minimum)
* poppler (including glib bindings - tested with 0.12.4)
* An Objective-C compiler (eg: gcc-objc)

## Changes since 0.6:

### GTK+ flavour:
- Add bounding box support
- Add support for different node shapes
- Improved error reporting
- Add scrolling support (CTRL+mouse wheel)
- Add a pan tool to move around the graph
- Add edge and graph property palettes
