[XeTeX] Using tikz with plain XeTeX

2017-05-13 Thread John Was

Hello Well, I did what was requested (the full code - an awful lot of which is just \def this, \def that, etc., accumulated over the past few decades from pre-XeTeX days). I'll try to find time for this - but I've never encountered a package that would do such a thing, and kill off my

A simple one-page file is fine: \input tikz \tikzpicture \path[draw=red] (0,0) -- (1,1) -- (2,1) circle (10pt); \endtikzpicture \bye The problem is evidently with something in the preamble to the articles (it's a periodical that comes out twice a year). Rather a gigantic run of
