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 0.9:

### GTK+ flavour:
* UI overhaul: multiple documents can be open at once, and there are GIMP-like separate toolbox windows
* Better keyboard shortcuts for changing tools
* Support for edge anchors
* Option to drag-select edges as well as or instead of nodes
* Error highlighting in code pane
* Various bugfixes including crashes, memory leaks and parsing issues
