+\section{About \texttt{tzplot.sty}}
+
+The |tzplot| package is just a collection of macros based on \TikZ\ to save you time typing \Tikz\ code.
+
+In |pstricks|, a line connecting two points |(A)| and |(B)| is drawn by |\psline(A)(B)|.
+With the package |tzplot|, you can do it by |\tzline(A)(B)|.
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzline(A)(B) % is an abbreviation of:
+ \draw (A) -- (B);
+\end{tztikz}
+%
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzline[blue](A)(B){my line}[r] % is an abbreviation of:
+ \draw [blue] (A) -- (B) node [right] {my line};
+\end{tztikz}
+
+Some macros in this package represent one or a few lines of code, but some represent dozens of lines of \Tikz\ code.
+
+All of the drawing macros of |tzplot| are prefixed by |\tz|. Of course, it means \Tikz.
+The syntax of the |tzplot| macros comes from |tikz| and |pstricks|.
+However, the input mode is more like |pstricks|.
+
+To use the |tzplot| package you have to load the package in the preamble of your document as follows:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \usepackage{tzplot}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The package depends on the packages |tikz|, |xparse|, and |expl3|.
+And it uses the following \Tikz\ libraries:
+\begin{verbatim}
+ calc,backgrounds,positioning,intersections,arrows,shapes,patterns,plotmarks,
+ decorations.pathreplacing,calligraphy
+\end{verbatim}
+
+This package sets the basic arrow style to |stealth|.
+If you don't like this, as an alternative, you can set the style like |\tikzset{>=to}| after the |tzplot| package is loaded.
+
+This package was originally motivated by drawing graphs in economics.
+Therefore, the macros in this package have been selected and developed for drawing graphs efficiently in economics. However, this package will do a good job of drawing basic graphics in any fields.
+
+Finally, note that this is far from a \Tikz\ tutorial.
+To make good use of this package, you need to familiarize yourself with \Tikz.
+
+\section{Preoccupied style names}
+\label{s:stylenames}
+
+This package does not provide any environment.
+Since all the drawing macros prefixed by |\tz| are just abbreviations of \Tikz\ code,
+you can use the macros in the |tikzpicture| environment together with any \Tikz\ commands.
+
+However, there are some preoccupied style names that you should not overwrite.
+Those are as follows:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ tzdot tzmark tzdotted
+ tzdashed tzhelplines tznode
+ tzshorten tzextend tzshowcontrols
+\end{verbatim}
+
+This package also predefined \iisw{abbreviations} of \Tikz's basic placement options as follows:
+\label{abbreviations}
+
+\begin{tzsty}{}
+% preoccupied (alias) styles
+\tikzset{%
+ a/.style={above=#1},
+ b/.style={below=#1},
+ c/.style={centered=#1},
+ l/.style={left=#1},
+ r/.style={right=#1},
+ al/.style={above left=#1},
+ ar/.style={above right=#1},
+ bl/.style={below left=#1},
+ br/.style={below right=#1},
+}
+\end{tzsty}
+You can use these abbreviations to place \Tikz's \iisw{main node}\xem{s} but not \iisw{label node}\xem{s}. To place label nodes, use non-abbreviated options or angles instead.
+
+
+The |tzplot| package also defines graphic layers as follows:
+
+\begin{tzsty}{}
+\pgfdeclarelayer{background}
+\pgfdeclarelayer{behind}
+\pgfdeclarelayer{above}
+\pgfdeclarelayer{foreground}
+
+\pgfsetlayers{background,behind,main,above,foreground}
+\end{tzsty}
+Therefore, you can select the graphic layers in sequence: |background|, |behind|, |main|, |above|, and |foreground|.
+For example, you can change the layer of a straight line from |main| (default) to |background| as follows:
+
+\begin{tzcode}[listing only]{1}
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+ <tzplot macros>
+ <tikz macros>
+\begin{pgfonlayer}{background}
+ \tzline[blue](0,0)(3,1)
+\end{pgfonlayer}
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\section{How to read this document}
+
+In drawing graphs, too many factors are involved: line style, color, fill, label, positioning, shift, and so on.
+Almost all macros of this package have many arguments that control these factors.
+Some are mandatory and some are optional.
+Optional arguments are hidden when not used.
+
+The document has three essential parts: Part II, Part III, and Part IV.
+Part II introduces essential macros with only frequently used options.
+There are many options hidden in the macros introduced in Part II.
+Some macros are not introduced in Part II.
+Part III and IV describe all the features of all macros.
+
+You must get started with Part II.
+Part II is sufficient for drawing needs in most cases.
+
+Unless you are an experienced user of \Tikz, it is recommended to move on to Part III and Part IV once you become familiar with Part II. In the meantime, use Part III and Part IV for reference only. Use the list of contents and the index efficiently to find macros you need.

+
+%%==================================
+\chapter{An Intuitive Introduction I: Basics}
+\label{ci:introI}
+
+All drawing macros provided in this package work within |tikzpicture| environment, just like any other \Tikz\ commands.
+
+%%------------------------------------------------------------
+\section{Lines: Basics: \protect\cmd{\tzline(0,0)(3,1)}}
+\label{si:lines}
+
+To draw a line from $(0,0)$ to $(3,1)$, just do |\tzline(0,0)(3,1)|.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzline
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,2)
+\tzline(0,0)(3,1)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+You can use \Tikz\ options to change the style of a line.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzline: change line style
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzline(0,0)(3,1)
+\tzline[dashed](0,1)(3,2)
+\tzline[->,blue,thick](0,3)(4,1)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzline[dashed](0,1)(3,2) % works like:
+ \draw [dashed] (0,1) -- (3,2);
+\end{tztikz}
+
+
+%%------------------------------------------------------------
+\section{Dots: Basics}
+\label{si:dots}
+
+\subsection{A circle dot: \protect\cmd{\tzcdot(0,0)}}
+\label{ssi:tzcdot}
+
+\icmd{\tzcdot}|(0,0)| prints a `circle dot' \tikz \tzcdot(0,0);, with the \xem{radius} |1.2pt| by default, at the point |(0,0)|. The starred version \icmd{\tzcdot*} prints a filled dot \tikz \tzcdot*(0,0);.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzcdot: circle dot
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzcdot(0,0)
+\tzcdot*(3,1)
+\tzcdot [red] (0,1)(3pt) % radius=3pt
+\tzcdot*[green](3,2)(3pt) % radius=3pt
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+You can change of the size of a dot by specifying the \xem{radius} of the circle, like, for example, |\tzcdot(0,0)(3pt)|.
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzcdot*[green](3,2)(3pt) % is an abbreviation for:
+ \draw [fill,green] (0,0) circle (3pt);
+\end{tztikz}
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzcdot
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzcdot(0,0) \tzcdot*(3,1)
+\tzcdot[red](0,1)(2mm) % radius=2mm
+\tzcdot*[green](3,2)(3pt) % radius=3pt
+\tzline(0,0)(3,1)
+\tzline(0,1)(3,2)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+\subsection{A circle node dot: \protect\cmd{\tzdot(0,0)}}
+\label{ssi:tzdot}
+
+\icmd{\tzdot} draws a `circle node dot' at a specified coordinate.
+The starred version \icmd{\tzdot*} prints a filled dot. The default size (\xem{diameter} or |minimum size|) is |2.4pt|.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzdot: node dot
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzdot(0,0) \tzdot*(3,1)
+\tzdot[red](0,1)(4mm) % minimum size=4mm
+\tzdot*[green](3,2)(6pt) % minimum size=6pt
+\tzline(0,0)(3,1)
+\tzline(0,1)(3,2)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+The size (\xem{diameter} or |minimum size|) of a node dot can be changed by the second (or the last) parenthesis option, like |(6pt)|.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzcdot
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzdot(0,0)(5pt) \tzdot*(3,1)
+\tzdot[red](0,1)(4mm) \tzdot*[green](3,2)(6pt)
+\tzline(0,0)(3,1)
+\tzline(0,1)(3,2)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzdot[green](0,0)(6pt) % works like:
+ \draw [green] (0,0) node [tzdot,minimum size=6pt] {};
+ % tzdot style is predefined
+\end{tztikz}
+
+
+\subsection{Difference between \protect\cmd{\tzcdot} and \protect\cmd{\tzdot}}
+\label{ssi:difference}
+
+A `circle dot' drawn by |\tzcdot| is affected by |xscale| or |yscale| in \Tikz, but a `circle node dot' drawn by |\tzdot| is not.
+Note also that |\tzcdot| controls the \xem{radius} of a circle dot (following \Tikz\ practice), while |\tzdot| controls the \xem{diameter} of a circle node dot.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzdot: size not changed by scaling
+\begin{tikzpicture}[xscale=.5,yscale=1.1] %%
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzdot(0,0) \tzdot*(3,1)
+\tzdot[red](0,1)(4mm) \tzdot*[green](3,2)(6pt)
+\tzline(0,0)(3,1)
+\tzline(0,1)(3,2)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+\remark
+The circle dots drawn by |\tzcdot| are affected by \Tikz\ |scale| factors. It gets bigger or smaller by |scale|.
+Let us see what happens to circle dots, especially when |xscale| and |yscale| are not symmetric.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzcdot: distorted
+\begin{tikzpicture}[xscale=.5,yscale=1.1] %%
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzcdot(0,0) \tzcdot*(3,1)
+\tzcdot[red](0,1)(2mm) \tzcdot*[green](3,2)(3pt)
+\tzline(0,0)(3,1)
+\tzline(0,1)(3,2)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+
+
+%%------------------------------------------------------------
+\section{Coordinates: Basics: \protect\cmd{\tzcoor(0,0)(A)}}
+\label{si:coordinates}
+
+To define a coordinate, use \icmd{\tzcoor} with a coordinate followed by its name in parentheses.
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzcoor(0,0)(A) % works like:
+ \path (0,0) coordinate (A);
+ % or
+ \coordinate (A) at (0,0);
+\end{tztikz}
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzcoor(0,0)(A) \tzcoor(60:3cm)(B)
+\tzline[->](A)(B)
+\tzdot(A)(5pt)
+\tzcoor(0,1)(C) \tzcoor(4,2)(D)
+\tzline[dashed](C)(D)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+The starred version \icmd{\tzcoor*} prints a filled node dot at a specified coordinate.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzcoor(0,0)(A) \tzcoor(60:3cm)(B)
+\tzline[->](A)(B)
+\tzdot(A)(5pt)
+\tzcoor*(0,1)(C) \tzcoor*[fill=none](4,2)(D)
+\tzline[dashed](C)(D)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+%%------------------------------------------------------------
+\section{Curves: Basics}
+\label{si:curves}
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzto(0,0)(4,2)}}
+\label{ssi:tzto}
+
+\icmd{\tzto} connects two points with a line or a curve.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzto(0,0)(4,2)
+\tzto[bend right,dashed](0,1)(3,2)
+\tzto[out=90,in=-90,->,blue](0,2)(4,1)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzto[bend right](0,1)(3,2) % works like:
+ \draw [bend right] (0,1) to (3,2);
+\end{tztikz}
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzbezier}}
+\label{ssi:tzbezier}
+
+\icmd{\tzbezier} draws a B\'{e}zier curve with one or two control points.
+The style |tzshowcontrols|, which is predefined in the package, reveals the control point(s).
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzbezier[blue,thick](0,0)(2,0)(4,2)
+\tzbezier[->,tzshowcontrols](0,2)(1,3)(3,0)(4,1)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzbezier[blue](0,0)(2,0)(4,2) % works like:
+ \draw [blue] (0,0) .. controls (2,0) .. (4,2);
+\tzbezier(0,2)(1,3)(3,0)(4,1) % works like:
+ \draw (0,2) .. controls (1,3) and (3,0) .. (4,1);
+\end{tztikz}
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzparabola}}
+\label{ssi:tzparabola}
+
+\icmd{\tzparabola} draws a parabola controlled by several options of \Tikz's |parabola| operation.
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzparabola(0,0)(2,4) % works like:
+ \draw (0,0) parabola (2,4);
+\tzparabola(2,0)(3,3)(4,1) % works like:
+ \draw (2,0) parabola bend (3,3) (4,1);
+\end{tztikz}
+
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,4)
+\tzparabola(0,0)(2,4)
+\tzparabola[bend at end,dashed](0,0)(2,4)
+\tzparabola(2,0)(3,3)(4,1)
+\tzparabola[bend pos=.33,dashed](1,0)(4,4)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+
+
+
+%%------------------------------------------------------------
+\section{Adding text: Nodes and placement}
+\label{si:addingtext}
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tznode(3,1)\{text\}[right]}}
+\label{ssi:tznode}
+
+With \icmd{\tznode}|(<coor>){<text>}[<node opt>]|, you can put some text at a specified position.
+The starred version \icmd{\tznode*} draws the node perimeter, which is a |rectangle| by default.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tznode(0,0){A}
+\tznode*(1,1){text}
+\tzdot*(2,2)
+\tznode(2,2){Text}[above right,blue]
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tznode(0,0){A} % works like:
+ \node at (0,0) {A};
+\tznode(2,2){Text}[above right,blue] % works like:
+ \draw (2,2) node [above right,blue] {Text};
+\end{tztikz}
+
+\subsection{Review: Main nodes and label nodes in \Tikz}
+\label{ssi:mainnodes}
+
+In \Tikz, there are two kinds of nodes: main nodes and label nodes.
+
+When a \iisw{main node} with text in it is placed at a specific point, its \iisw{label node} with a label in it is optionally placed in the \xem{direction} of a designated \xem{angle} relative to the main node.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tznode*(2,1){main node}
+ [scale=2,label={[draw,red]90:label node}]
+\tznode*(3,3){A}[label={above:a},label={0:r}]
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+The angles for label nodes can be replaced by the corresponding placement words. For example, the angle |90| degree for a label node can be replaced by |above|, |0| by |right|, |-135| by |below left|, and the like. Note that the angle expression \xem{cannot} be used for placing a main node.
+
+\xmedskip1
+\remark
+\begin{itemize}
+\item
+In this package, macros related to `dots' or `coordinates' (like |\tzcdot|, |tzdot|, and |\tzcoor|) can optionally have `label nodes,' while macros related to `lines' and `curves' (like |\tzline|, |\tzto|, |\tzbezier| and |\tzparabola|) optionally have `main nodes' or `text nodes.'
+\item
+There is one exception: |\tzshoworigin|. |\tzshoworigin| can have a label, but its location is controlled by positional words such as |below left| but not by |<angle>|.

+\section{Labeling dots and coordinates}
+\label{si:labelingdots}
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzdot}, \protect\cmd{\tzcdot}}
+\label{ssi:labeling:tzdot}
+
+To add a label to a dot generated by |\tzdot| or |\tzcdot|, you should specify, \xem{right after a coordinate}, |{<label>}| followed by |[<angle>]| (|90| degree or |above| by default in \Tikz).
+
+\textsc{Remember} that the order of the arguments is |(<coor>){<label>}[<angle>]|.
+To change the size of a dot, you need to specify the last option |(<dimension>)| after all the other arguments.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}

+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzcoor}}
+\label{ssi:tzcoor}
+
+\icmd{\tzcoor} can add a label to a coordinate. Just append the optional arguments |{<label>}| and |[<angle>]| after the two mandatory parenthesis arguments.
+
+\remark
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textsc{Remember} the order of arguments is |(<coor>)(<name>){<label>}[<angle>]|.
+\item It cannot be emphasized that |{<label>}| is placed by |[<angle>]| (by default |90| or |above|) and you \xem{cannot} use the abbreviations such as |a|, |l|, |ar|, and so forth to place labels for coordinates and dots.

+%%------------------------------------------------------------
+\section{Linking many coordinates: Semicolon versions}
+\label{si:manycoordinates}
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzlines}: Connected line segments}
+\label{ssi:tzlines}
+
+\icmd{\tzlines} connects with line segments an arbitrary number of coordinates. The coordinate iteration must end with semicolon |;|.
+Here, the \xem{semicolon} `|;|' indicates \xem{the end of repetition} of coordinates.
+Let us call this kind of macro a \iisw{semicolon version} macro.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzlines(0,0)(1,2)(3,0)(4,1)(2,2)(3,3)(0,3)(0,1)(4,2);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+With the optional argument |{<text>}| followed by |[<node opt>]| \xem{in-between two coordinates}, you can print |{<text>}| at or around the middle point of the corresponding line segment in accordance with |[<node opt>]| (by default |[midway]|).
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzlines[dashed,->](0,0){up}[l]
+ (1,2){down}[r]
+ (3,0){up}[r]
+ (4,1);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+The optional argument |{<text>}| \xem{following the last coordinate} can be used as a name of the whole connected line segments. The |{<text>}| is placed at (by default) or around the last coordinate according to |[<node opt>]|.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}[sloped,auto]
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzlines[dashed,->](0,0){up}
+ (1,2){down}
+ (3,0){up}
+ (4,1){Weight}[r,blue] ;
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\textsc{Remember} the repeating pattern is the triple |(<coor>){<text>}[<node opt>]| in that order.
+DO NOT FORGET to indicate when the repetition ends by typing a semicolon. So it will look like |(){}[]..repeated..(){}[];|.
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzpolygon}, \protect\cmd{\tzpolygon*}: Closed paths}
+\label{ssi:tzpolygon}
+
+\icmd{\tzpolygon} draws closed line segments. |\tzpolygon| is also one of semicolon versions, meaning that it has to end with a semicolon |;|.
+In fact, |\tzpolygon| is a closed version of |\tzlines|.
+
+The starred version |\tzpolygon*| does the same thing as |\tzpolgon| except for one thing.
+|\tzplygon*|, by default, fills the interior of the polygon with |black!50| with |fill opacity=.3| but with |text opacity=1|. (Changing the |fill opacity| is not an issue in this introduction. See Section \ref{s:tzpolygon} on page \pageref{s:tzpolygon} for more details.)
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzpolygon(1,3)(0,2)(2,0)(3,1)(4,2)(2,3);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+The optional arguments |{<text>}| and |[<node opt>]| \xem{in-between} two coordinates prints |<text>| according to |[<node opt>]| (by default |[midway]|) around the middle point of the corresponding line segment.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzpolygon*[green,thick](1,3)(0,2)(2,0)(3,1)(4,2)(2,3);
+\tzpolygon[dashed]
+ (0,0){up}[l] (1,2){down}[r] (3,0){up}[r] (4,1);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+The options |{<text>}| and |[<node opt>]| following the last coordinate can be used as a name of the connected line segments.
+
+The entire repetition will look like |(<coor>){<text>}[<node opt>] ..repeated.. (){}[];|.
+DO NOT FORGET to indicate when the repetition ends by typing a semicolon.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}[sloped,auto]
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzpolygon[dashed]
+ (0,0){up} (1,2){down} (3,0){up} (4,1){Weight}[r] ;
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzpath*}: Filling area}
+\label{ssi:tzpath}
+
+\icmd{\tzpath} accepts an arbitrary number of coordinates to form a path, like |\tzlines| does, but the path is invisible. This is a \xem{semicolon version} macro, so the coordinate iteration must be ended by a semicolon |;|.
+With |[draw]| option you can visualize the invisible path.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzpath[draw](1,3)(0,2)(2,0)(3,1)(4,2)(2,3);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+You can fill the interior of a path formed by |\tzpath| (after being closed) with color or pattern, in usual \Tikz\ way.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzline[blue](0,3)(4,0)
+\tzpath[pattern=crosshatch]
+ (1,3)(0,2)(2,0)(3,1)(4,2)(2,3);
+\tzpath[pattern=bricks,preaction={fill=brown}]
+ (0,0) (1,2) (3,0) (4,1);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzline[blue](0,3)(4,0)
+\tzpath[fill,green](1,3)(0,2)(2,0)(3,1)(4,2)(2,3);
+\tzpath[fill](0,0) (1,2) (3,0) (4,1);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+
+The starred version \icmd{\tzpath*} takes the default options |fill=black!50|, |fill opacity=.3| to fill the area.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzline[blue](0,3)(4,0)
+\tzpath*[green](1,3)(0,2)(2,0)(3,1)(4,2)(2,3);
+\tzpath*(0,0) (1,2) (3,0) (4,1);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+How to change the |fill opacity| with |\tzpath*| is not discussed in this introduction, but one example is given below. (See Section \ref{s:tzpath*} on page \pageref{s:tzpath*} for more details.)
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}

+\tzcdots*[fill=red](0,3)(1,3)(2,3)(3,3)(4,2);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+Each coordinate can be labeled by specifying the optional argument |{<label>}| followed by |[<angle>]|. You can also change the size (\xem{radius}) of the dots by specifying the \xem{last} parenthesis option |(<dot radius>)| \xem{after} the semicolon.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}

+Each coordinate can be labeled by specifying the optional argument |{<label>}| followed by |[<angle>]|. You can also change the size (\xem{diameter}) of the dots by specifying the \xem{last} parenthesis argument |(<dot size>)| \xem{after} the semicolon.

+
+|\tzcoor| accepts \xem{a pair} of mandatory arguments in parentheses: |(<coor>)(<name>)|.
+\icmd{\tzcoors} accepts \xem{an arbitrary number of the pairs} to define multiple coordinates. It is a semicolon version, meaning that a semicolon is necessary to indicate when the coordinate repetition ends.

+ (4,2)(E);
+\tzlines(A)(B)(C)(D)(E);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+The options |{<label>}| and |[<angle>]| following each pair of |(<coor>)| and |(<name>)| allow you to put |<label>| in the direction of |<angle>| around the coordinate.
+Here, the repeating pattern is the quadruple |(<coor>)(<name>){<label>}[<angle>]|. The first two parenthesis arguments are mandatory and others are optional. The pattern is repeated until |\tzcoors| meets a semicolon |;|.

+% <m> means mandatory
+\end{tzdef}
+
+\icmd{\tzaxes} draws the x-axis from |<x1>| to |<x2>| and the y-axis from |<y1>| to |<y2>|.

+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
+\tzhelplines(-1,-1)(8,5)
+\tzaxes(-1,-1)(8,5) % basics
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+If |(<x1,y1>)| is omitted, it is regarded as |(0,0)|.
+And optionally the names of x-axis and y-axis can be printed at a specified place (by default, |[right]| for x-axis and |[above]| for y-axis).
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
+\tzhelplines(-1,-1)(8,5)
+\tzaxes[draw=blue](8,5){$x$}{$y$} %%
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+With the optional argument |<x-shift,y-shift>|, the axes are shifted accordingly. Two axes intersect at |(<x-shift,y-shift>)|, by default |(0,0)|.

+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzaxes*}}
+\label{ssi:tzaxes*}
+
+The starred version \icmd{\tzaxes*} is just to set the current state to a \iisw{bounding box} when the |\tzaxes| macro execution is completed. Use |\tzaxes*| before any larger graphics.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
+\tzaxes*(8,5){$x$}{$f(x)$} % bounding box

+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzshoworigin}, \protect\cmd{\tzshoworigin*}}
+\label{ssi:tzshoworigin}
+
+\icmd{\tzshoworigin} prints `$0$' (roughly) at the bottom left of the origin.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
+\tzhelplines(-1,-1)(8,5)
+\tzshoworigin
+\tzaxes(-1,-1)(8,5)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\icmd{\tzshoworigin*} prints a node dot with the size of |2.4pt| (by default) at the origin.

+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
+\tzhelplines(-1,-1)(8,5)
+\tzshoworigin*
+\tzaxes(-1,-1)(8,5)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+|\tzshoworigin*(<coor>){<text>}[<node opt>]| prints a node dot and text around |(<coor>)|, by default |(0,0)|. (Notice that the place where the |<text>| is printed at is not by |<angle>|. Instead, you can use the \xem{abbreviations} of \Tikz\ basic placement options such as |a|, |l|, |br|, ect. See Section \ref{s:stylenames}, for more details.)
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]

+\tzaxes[blue]<7,4>(8,5)(-1,-1)
+\tzshoworigin*(7,4){$O_2$}[ar]

+\end{tzcode}
+
+Notice that, in the above example, the two axes intersect at |(7,4)| by the shift option |<7,4>|.
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzaxisx}, \protect\cmd{\tzaxisy}}

+\section{Ticks}
+\label{si:tikzs}
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzticks}}
+\label{ssi:tzticks}
+
+\icmd{\tzticks}|{<x-tick places>}{<y-tick places>}| prints tick labels for x- and y-axis at specified places, which are comma separated.
+By default, tick labels are the numbers specified.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}

+\tzshoworigin
+\tzaxes(-1,-1)(8,5)
+\tzticks{1,2,...,8} % x-ticks
+ {1,2,...,5} % y-ticks
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+You can change the numbered labels, for example |{2,4,7}|, to any other form, by doing like, for example, |{2/mylabel,4,7}|. (Internally, |\tzticks| uses the |foreach| operation of \Tikz.)
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}

+ {1,2.5/$\frac25$,4}
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzticks*}}
+\label{ssi:tzticks*}
+
+The starred version \icmd{\tzticks*} prints tick marks from |0pt| to |3pt| by default, without printing tick labels.

+\tzaxes(-1,-1)(8,5)
+\tzticks*{1,2,...,7}
+ {1,2,3,4}
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+You can change the length of tick marks, for example, like |(-2pt:3pt)| and |(-5pt:10pt)| as shown in the following example.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
+\tzhelplines(-1,-1)(8,5)

+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzticksx(*)}, \protect\cmd{\tzticksy(*)}}
+\label{ssi:tztikcsx}
+
+\icmd{\tzticksx} and \icmd{\tzticksy} prints x-tick labels and y-tick labels, respectively.

+\tzticksx{1/x,3/y,5/z,7}
+\tzticksy(-5pt:10pt){1,2,4/k}
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\icmd{\tzticksx*} and \icmd{\tzticksy*} suppress tick labels for their corresponding axes, like |\tzticks*|.

+\section{Projections on the axes}
+\label{si:projections}
+
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzprojx(*)}, \protect\cmd{\tzprojy(*)}}
+\label{ssi:tzprojx}
+
+\icmd{\tzprojx} draws a dotted (by default) line from a specified coordinate to its projection point on the x-axis and prints text around (|[below]| by default) the projection point.
+
+|\tzprojy| works similarly but for the projection point on the y-axis.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzaxes(4,3)
+\tzdot*(3,2){$(x_1,x_2)$}[45]

+\tzprojy[solid,->,draw=blue](3,2){$x_2$}[bl]
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\icmd{\tzprojx*} does one more thing. It prints a node dot at a specified coordinate. |\tzprojy*| works similarly but for the projection point on the y-axis.
+
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+%\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzaxes(4,3)
+\tznode(3,2){$(x_1,x_2)$}[ar]

+\tzprojy[->,dashed,draw=red](3,2){$x_2$}
+\tzprojx*(1.5,2.5){$a$}
+\tzprojy*(2.5,1.5){$b$}
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzproj(*)}}
+\label{ssi:tzproj}
+
+\icmd{\tzproj} combines |\tzprojx| and |\tzprojy|.
+And \icmd{\tzproj*} combines |\tzprojx*| and |\tzprojy*|, so it suppresses tick labels.
+
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}

+\tzaxes(4,3)
+\tznode(3,2){$(x_1,x_2)$}[ar]

+\section{Plot functions}
+\label{si:plotfunctions}
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzfn}}
+\label{ssi:tzfn}
+
+\icmd{\tzfn}|{<fn of \x>}[<a:b>]| plots a function of $x$ over the specified domain $[a:b]$, which means that $a\leq x \leq b$.
+Optionally, you can add |{<text>}| with |[<node opt>]| as shown in the following example.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}

+\tzfn[red]{sin(\x r)+3}[0:2*pi] % y=sin x
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+You can name a path formed by |\tzfn| by specifying the optional argument |"<path name>"| right before the mandatory curly brace argument |{<fn of \x>}|. The name of a path is used to find intersection points.

+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}

+\remark
+If the curly brace mandatory argument consists of \xem{only a macro name} like |{\Foo}|, the macro name |Foo| (without the backslash) is automatically assigned to the \xem{name of the path}. (See Section \ref{ss:tzfn:namepath} on page \pageref{ss:tzfn:namepath}, for more details.)
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzhfnat}, \protect\cmd{\tzhfn}: Horizontal lines}
+\label{ssi:tzhfn}

+\icmd{\tzLFn}|(<coor1>)(<coor2>)...| draws a \xem{linear function} passing through two points: |(<coor1>)| and |(<coor2>)|.
+|\tzLFn(<coor1>){<slope>}...| draws a linear function passing through one point, |(<coor1>)|, with the slope of |<slope>|. If both of the two coordinates are specified the option |{<slope>}| is ignored. The domain in the form of |[a:b]| is also a required argument.

+\section{Intersection points}
+\label{si:intersections}
+
+\subsection{Naming paths}
+\label{ssi:namingpaths}
+
+In \Tikz, you can find \xem{intersection} points when two \xem{named paths} intersect. The name of a path is usually given by the option |[name path=<path name>]| in \Tikz.
+
+With the package \pkg{tzplot}, you can name a path by specifying an optional argument within quotation marks such as |"<path name>"|.
+(Of course, you can also name a path in usual \Tikz\ way, like |[name path=<path name>]|.)
+
+In this package, all macros (with a few exceptions) related to lines and curves accept this quote optional argument to name paths as follows:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \tzline[<opt>]"<path name>"(<coor>)...
+ \tzlines... "<path name>"(<coor>)...
+ \tzpolygon... "<path name>"(<coor>)...
+ \tzpath... "<path name>"(<coor>)...
+ \tzto... "<path name>"(<coor>)...
+ \tzparabola..."<path name>"(<coor>)...
+ \tzbezier... "<path name>"(<coor>)...
+ \tzfn... "<path name>"{<fn of \x>}...
+ \tzLFn... "<path name>"(<coor>)...
+ and more...
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzline[dashed]"foo"(1,1)(3,3) % works like
+ \draw [dashed,name path=foo](1,1) -- (3,3);
+\end{tztikz}
+
+In most cases, the quote optional arguments for naming paths are placed \xem{immediately before the first mandatory argument} of the |tzplot| macros.
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzXpoint(*)}: Intersection points of two paths}
+\label{ssi:tzXpoint}
+
+For example, \icmd{\tzXpoint}|{path1}{path2}(A)| finds intersection points of |path1| and |path2| and names the first intersection point |(A)|. This intersection point can be referred to as |(A)| or |(A-1)|. If there are two or more intersection points found, they are called |(A)=(A-1)|, |(A-2)|, |(A-3)|, and so on.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzline"AA"(0,0)(3,2)
+\tzline"BB"(0,3)(3,0)
+\tzXpoint{AA}{BB}(X)
+\tzdot*(X){E}
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\icmd{\tzXpoint*} prints a node dot at the first intersection point.
+You can label the point by specifying |{<text>}| and |[<angle>]| after the specified intersection name.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.7,font=\footnotesize]

+\tzdot(E-2){$B$}[45](5pt) % second intersection
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\remark
+You have to expect \Tikz\ to take a few seconds (or less) to find intersection points.
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzvXpointat(*)}, \protect\cmd{\tzvXpoint(*)}: Vertical intersection points}
+\label{ssi:tzvXpoint}
+
+To find vertical intersection points at $x$ to a curve, you should specify a path name and either the value of $x$ or the coordinate $(x,y)$. Here the $y$ coordinate is ignored.
+
+\icmd{\tzvXpointat}|{<path>}{<x>}(A)| finds vertical intersection points of |<path>| at $x=\texttt{<x>}$ and names it |(A)|.
+The starred version \icmd{\tzvXpointat*} additionally prints a node dot at the (first) intersection point.
+
+The macro \icmd{\tzvXpoint} uses |(<coor>)|, while |\tzvXpointat| uses the value of $x$. Here the $y$ coordinate of |(<coor>)| is not important. |\tzvXpoint| is useful when you do not know the exact value of $x$ coordinate of |(<coor>)|.
+The starred version \icmd{\tzvXpoint*} additionally prints a node dot at the (first) intersection point.

+\icmd{\tzhXpointat}|{<path>}{<y>}(A)| works like |\tzvXpointat{<path>}{<x>}(A)|, but it uses the value of $y$ instead of $x$.
+The starred version \icmd{\tzhXpointat*} additionally prints a node dot at the (first) intersection point.
+
+\icmd{\tzhXpoint} uses |(<coor>)|, while |\tzhXpointat| uses the value of $y$.

+\icmd{\tzsecantat}|{<path>}{<x1>}{<x2>}| draws a secant line segment of |<path>| from $x_1=\texttt{<x1>}$ to $x_2=\texttt{<x2>}$ on the |behind| layer, by default.

+
+\icmd{\tzsecant} works like |\tzsecantat|, but it accepts two coordinates instead of two values of $x$.
+
+|\tzsecant{<path>}(<coor1>)(<coor2>)| draws a secant line segment of |<path>| from the $x$ coordinate of |(<coor1>)| to the $x$ coordinate of |(<coor2>)|, ignoring $y$ values of the coordinates, on the |behind| layer by default.

+You can extend or shorten a secant line by specifying the domain |[<from:to>]|, which is an optional argument.

-\chapter{An Intuitive Introduction I: Basics}
-\label{ci:introI}
-
-All drawing macros provided in this package work within |tikzpicture| environment, just like any other \Tikz\ command.
-
-%%------------------------------------------------------------
-\section{Lines: Basics: \protect\cmd{\tzline(0,0)(3,1)}}
-\label{si:lines}
-
-To draw a line from $(0,0)$ to $(3,1)$, just do |\tzline(0,0)(3,1)|.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzline
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,2)
-\tzline(0,0)(3,1)
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-You can use \Tikz\ options to change the style of a line.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzline: change line style
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)

-
-\begin{tztikz}{}

-\section{Dots: Basics}
-\label{si:dots}
-
-\subsection{A circle dot: \protect\cmd{\tzcdot(0,0)}}
-\label{ssi:tzcdot}
-
-\icmd{\tzcdot}|(0,0)| prints a `circle dot' \tikz \tzcdot(0,0);, with the \xem{radius} |1.2pt| by default, at the point |(0,0)|. The starred version \icmd{\tzcdot*} prints a filled dot \tikz \tzcdot*(0,0);.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzcdot: circle dot
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzcdot(0,0)
-\tzcdot*(3,1)
-\tzcdot [red] (0,1)(3pt) % radius=3pt
-\tzcdot*[green](3,2)(3pt) % radius=3pt
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-You can change of the size of a dot by specifying the \xem{radius} of the circle, like, for example, |\tzcdot(0,0)(3pt)|.
-
-\begin{tztikz}{}
-\tzcdot*[green](3,2)(3pt) % is an abbreviation for:
- \draw [fill,green] (0,0) circle (3pt);
-\end{tztikz}
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzcdot
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzcdot(0,0) \tzcdot*(3,1)
-\tzcdot[red](0,1)(2mm) % radius=2mm
-\tzcdot*[green](3,2)(3pt) % radius=3pt
-\tzline(0,0)(3,1)
-\tzline(0,1)(3,2)
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-
-\subsection{A node circle dot: \protect\cmd{\tzdot(0,0)}}
-\label{ssi:tzdot}
-
-\icmd{\tzdot} draws a `node circle dot' at a specified coordinate.
-The starred version \icmd{\tzdot*} prints a filled dot. The default size (\xem{diameter} or |minimum size|) is |2.4pt|.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzdot: node dot
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzdot(0,0) \tzdot*(3,1)
-\tzdot[red](0,1)(4mm) % minimum size=4mm
-\tzdot*[green](3,2)(6pt) % minimum size=6pt
-\tzline(0,0)(3,1)
-\tzline(0,1)(3,2)
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-
-The size (\xem{diameter} or |minimum size|) of a node dot can be changed by the second (or the last) parenthesis option, like |(6pt)|.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzcdot
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzdot(0,0)(5pt) \tzdot*(3,1)
-\tzdot[red](0,1)(4mm) \tzdot*[green](3,2)(6pt)
-\tzline(0,0)(3,1)
-\tzline(0,1)(3,2)
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-\begin{tztikz}{}
-\tzdot[green](0,0)(6pt) % works like:
- \draw [green] (0,0) node [tzdot,minimum size=6pt] {};
- % tzdot style is predefined
-\end{tztikz}
-
-
-\subsection{Difference between \protect\cmd{\tzcdot} and \protect\cmd{\tzdot}}
-\label{ssi:difference}
-
-A `circle dot' drawn by |\tzcdot| is affected by |xscale| or |yscale| in \Tikz, but a `node circle dot' drawn by |\tzdot| is not.
-Note also that |\tzcdot| controls the \xem{radius} of a circle dot (following \Tikz\ practice), while |\tzdot| controls the \xem{diameter} of a node circle dot.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzdot: size not changed by scaling
-\begin{tikzpicture}[xscale=.5,yscale=1.1] %%
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzdot(0,0) \tzdot*(3,1)
-\tzdot[red](0,1)(4mm) \tzdot*[green](3,2)(6pt)

-\label{ssi:tzbezier}
-
-\icmd{\tzbezier} draws a bezier curve with one or two control points.
-The style |tzshowcontrols|, which is predefined in the package, reveals the control point(s).
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-\begin{tikzpicture}

-\section{Adding text: Nodes and placement}
-\label{si:addingtext}
-
-\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tznode(3,1)\{text\}[right]}}
-\label{ssi:tznode}
-
-With \icmd{\tznode}|{<text>}[<node opt>]| you can put some text at a specified position.
-The starred version \icmd{\tznode*} draws the node perimeter, which is a |rectangle| by default.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tznode(0,0){A}
-\tznode*(1,1){text}

- \node at (0,0) {A};
-\tznode(2,2){Text}[above right,blue] % works like:
- \draw (2,2) node [above right,blue] {Text};
-\end{tztikz}
-
-\subsection{Review: Main nodes and label nodes in \Tikz}
-\label{ssi:mainnodes}
-
-In \Tikz, there are two kinds of nodes: main nodes and label nodes.
-
-When a \iisw{main node} with text in it is placed at a specific point, its \iisw{label node} with a label in it is optionally placed in the \xem{direction} of a designated \xem{angle} relative to the main node.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tznode*(2,1){main node}
- [scale=2,label={[draw,red]90:label node}]
-\tznode*(3,3){A}[label={above:a},label={0:r}]
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-The angles for label nodes can be replaced by the corresponding placement words. For example, the angle |90| degree for a label node can be replaced by |above|, |0| by |right|, |-135| by |below left|, and the like. The angle expression \xem{cannot} be used for placing a main node.
-
-\xmedskip1
-\remark
-\begin{itemize}
-\item
-In this package, macros related to `dots' or `coordinates' (like |\tzcdot|, |tzdot|, and |\tzcoor|) can optionally have `label nodes,' while macros related to `lines' and `curves' (like |\tzline|, |\tzto|, |\tzbezier| and |\tzparabola|) optionally have `main nodes' or `text nodes.'
-\item
-There is one exception, |\tzshoworigin|. |\tzshoworigin| can have a label, but its location is controlled by positional words such as |below left| but not by |<angle>|.
-(See Section \ref{s:tzshoworigin} on page \pageref{s:tzshoworigin} for more details.)
-\end{itemize}
-
-\subsection{Abbreviations of \Tikz\ basic placement options: \texttt{a}, \texttt{b}, \texttt{l}, \texttt{r}, \texttt{ar}, \texttt{bl}, etc.}
-\label{ssi:abbreviations}
-
-You can use \isw{abbreviations} |a| for |above|, |r| for |right|, |bl| for |below left|, and so on to place \iisw{main node}\xem{s}.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-\begin{tikzpicture}[font=\ttfamily,text=blue]
-\tzhelplines[thick](2,2)
-\tznode(1,1){centered}[draw] % default: centered

-\tznode(0,0){bl}[bl] \tznode(2,0){br}[br]
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-\warning The abbreviations of \Tikz\ basic placement options \xem{cannot} be used to place \xem{labels}.
-To place labels, use \xem{angles} or the unabridged placement options of \Tikz such as |above| and |below left|.

-\section{Labeling dots and coordinates}
-\label{si:labelingdots}
-
-\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzdot}, \protect\cmd{\tzcdot}}
-\label{ssi:labeling:tzdot}
-
-To add a label to a dot generated by |\tzdot| or |\tzcdot|, you should specify, \xem{right after a coordinate}, |{<label>}| followed by |[<angle>]| (|90| degree or |above| by default in \Tikz).
-
-\textsc{Remember} that the order of the arguments is |(<coor>){<label>}[<angle>]|.
-To change the size of a dot, you need to specify |(<dimension>)| after all the other arguments.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzdot*(1,1){A} % default: 90 or above
-\tzdot(2,1){B}[0](4pt)

-\end{tzcode}
-
-\begin{tztikz}{}
-\tzcdot*(1,2){C}[180](2pt) % works like:
- \draw[fill] (1,1) circle (2pt) node [label={180:C}] {};
-\end{tztikz}
-
-\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzcoor}}
-\label{ssi:tzcoor}
-
-\icmd{\tzcoor} can add a label to a coordinate. Just append the optional arguments |{<label>}| and |[<angle>]| after the two mandatory parenthesis arguments.
-
-\remark
-\begin{itemize}
-\item \textsc{Remember} the order of arguments is |(<coor>)(<name>){<label>}[<angle>]|.
-\item It cannot be emphasized that |{<label>}| is placed by |[<angle>]| (by default |90| or |above|) and you \xem{cannot} use the abbreviations such as |a|, |l|, |ar|, and so forth to place labels for coordinates and dots.
-\end{itemize}

-\begin{tzdef}{}
-% syntax: simplified
-\tzcoor(<coor>)(<coor name>){<label>}[[<label opt>]<angle>]

-
-\icmd{\tzline} accepts two mandatory coordinates.
-To add text to a line segment, just specify the optional arguments |{<text>}| and |[<node opt>]| \xem{inbetween} the two coordinates. The |[<node opt>]| is |[above,midway]|, by default.

-\section{Linking many coordinates: Semicolon versions}
-\label{si:manycoordinates}
-
-\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzlines}: Connected line segments}
-\label{ssi:tzlines}
-
-\icmd{\tzlines} connects with line segments an arbitrary number of coordinates. The coordinate iteration must end with semicolon |;|.
-Here, the \xem{semicolon} |;| indicates \xem{the end of repetition} of coordinates.
-Let us call this kind of macro a \iisw{semicolon version}.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzlines(0,0)(1,2)(3,0)(4,1)(2,2)(3,3)(0,3)(0,1)(4,2);
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-With the optional argument |{<text>}| followed by |[<node opt>]| \xem{inbetween two coordinates}, you can print |{<text>}| at or around the middle point of the corresponding line segment in accordance with |[<node opt>]| (by default |[midway]|).
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzlines[dashed,->](0,0){up}[l]
- (1,2){down}[r]
- (3,0){up}[r]
- (4,1);
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-The optional argument |{<text>}| \xem{following the last coordinate} can be used as a name of the whole connected line segments. The |{<text>}| is placed at (by default) or around the last coordinate according to |[<node opt>]|.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-\begin{tikzpicture}[sloped,auto]
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzlines[dashed,->](0,0){up}
- (1,2){down}
- (3,0){up}
- (4,1){Weight}[r,blue] ;
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-\textsc{Remember} the repeated pattern is the triple |(<coor>){<text>}[<node opt>]| in that order.
-DO NOT FORGET to indicate when the repetition ends by typing the semicolon. So it will look like |(){}[]..repeated..(){}[];|
-
-\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzpolygon}, \protect\cmd{\tzpolygon*}: Closed paths}
-\label{ssi:tzpolygon}
-
-\icmd{\tzpolygon} draws closed line segments. |\tzpolygon| is also one of semicolon versions, meaning that it has to end with a semicolon |;|.
-In fact, |\tzpolygon| is a closed version of |\tzlines|.
-
-The starred version |\tzpolygon*| does the same thing as |\tzpolgon| except for one thing.
-|\tzplygon*|, by default, fills the interior of the polygon with |black!50| with |fill=opacity=.3|. (Changing the fill opacity is not an issue in this introduction. See Section \ref{s:tzpolygon} on path \pageref{s:tzpolygon} for more details.)
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzpolygon(1,3)(0,2)(2,0)(3,1)(4,2)(2,3);
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-The optional arguments |{<text>}| and |[node opt]| inbetween two coordinates prints |<text>| according to |[node opt]| (by default |[midway]|) around the middle point of the corresponding line segment.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzpolygon*[green,thick](1,3)(0,2)(2,0)(3,1)(4,2)(2,3);
-\tzpolygon[dashed]
- (0,0){up}[l] (1,2){down}[r] (3,0){up}[r] (4,1);
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-The options |{<text>}| and |[node opt]| following the last coordinate can be used as a name of the connected line segments.
-
-Here, the entire repeated pattern is |(coor){text}[pos] .. repeated .. (){}[];|.
-DO NOT FORGET to indicate when the repetition ends by typing a semicolon.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-\begin{tikzpicture}[sloped,auto]
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzpolygon[dashed]
- (0,0){up} (1,2){down} (3,0){up} (4,1) {Weight}[r] ;
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzpath*}: Filling area}
-\label{ssi:tzpath}
-
-\icmd{\tzpath} accepts an arbitrary number of coordinates to form a path, like |\tzlines| does, but the path is invisible. This is a \xem{semicolon version} macro, so the coordinate iteration must be ended by a semicolon |;|.
-With |[draw]| option you can visualize the invisible path.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzpath[draw](1,3)(0,2)(2,0)(3,1)(4,2)(2,3);
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-You can fill the interior of a path formed by |\tzpath| (after being closed) with color or pattern, in usual \Tikz\ way.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzline[blue](0,3)(4,0)
-\tzpath[pattern=crosshatch]
- (1,3)(0,2)(2,0)(3,1)(4,2)(2,3);
-\tzpath[pattern=bricks,preaction={fill=brown}]
- (0,0) (1,2) (3,0) (4,1);

-\tzpath[fill](0,0) (1,2) (3,0) (4,1);
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-
-
-The starred version \icmd{\tzpath*} takes the default options |fill=black!50| and |fill opacity=.3| to fill the area.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzline[blue](0,3)(4,0)

-\tzpath*(0,0) (1,2) (3,0) (4,1);
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-How to change the |fill opacity| with |\tzpath*| is not discussed in this introduction, but one example is given below. (See Section \ref{s:tzpath*} on page \pageref{s:tzpath*} for more details.)

-
-|\tzcoor| accepts \xem{a pair} of mandatory arguments in parentheses: |(<coor>)(<name>)|.
-\icmd{\tzcoors} accepts \xem{an arbitrary number of the pairs} to define multiple coordinates. It is a semicolon version, meaning that a semicolon is necessary to indicate when the repetition ends.

-\end{tzcode}
-
-The optional arguments |{<label>}| and |[<angle>]| following each pair of |(<coor>)| and |(<name>)| allow you to add |<label>| in the direction |<angle>| around the coordinate.
-Here, the repeated pattern is |(<coor>)(<name>){<label>}[<angle>]|, in that order. The first two parenthesis arguments are mandatory and others are optional. The pattern is repeated until |\tzcoors| meets a semicolon |;|.

-\section{Intersection points}
-\label{si:intersections}
-
-\subsection{Naming paths}
-\label{ssi:namingpaths}
-
-In \Tikz, you can find \xem{intersection} points when two \xem{named paths} intersect. The name of a path is usually given by the option |[name path=<path name>]| in \Tikz.
-
-In this package, of course, you can use the option |[name path=<path name>]| in usual \Tikz\ way. With the package \pkg{tzplot}, you can also name a path by specifying an optional argument within quotation marks such as |"<path name>"|.
-
-All macros (with a few exceptions) related to lines and curves accept this quotation optional argument to name paths as follows:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
- \tzline[<opt>]"<path name>"(<coor>)...
- \tzlines..."<path name>"(<coor>)...
- \tzpolygon..."<path name">(<coor>)...
- \tzpath..."<path name">(<coor>)...
- \tzto..."<path name">(<coor>)...
- \tzparabola..."<path name">(<coor>)...
- \tzbezier..."<path name">(<coor>)...
- \tzfn..."<path name">{<fn of \x>}...
- \tzLFn..."<path name">(<coor>)...
- and more...
-\end{verbatim}
-
-\begin{tztikz}{}
-\tzline[dashed]"foo"(1,1)(3,3) % works like
- \draw [dashed,name path=foo](1,1) -- (3,3);
-\end{tztikz}
-
-In most cases, the quotation optional arguments for naming paths are placed immediately before the first mandatory argument or essential argument (when no mandatory argument exists) of the |tzplot| macros.
-
-\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzXpoint(*)}: Intersection points of two paths}
-\label{ssi:tzXpoint}

-For example, \icmd{\tzXpoint}|{path1}{path2}(A)| finds intersection points of |path1| and |path2| and names the first intersection point |(A)|. This intersection can be referred to as |(A)| or |(A-1)|. If there are two or more intersection points found, they are called |(A)=(A-1)|, |(A-2)|, |(A-3)|, and so on.

-\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzvXpointat(*)}, \protect\cmd{\tzvXpoint(*)}: Vertical intersection points}
-\label{ssi:tzvXpoint}
-
-To find vertical intersection points at $x$ to a curve, you should specify a path name and either the value of $x$ or the coordinate $(x,y)$. Here the $y$ coordinate is ignored.
-
-\icmd{\tzvXpointat}|{<path>}{<x>}(A)| finds vertical intersection points with |<path>| at $x=\texttt{<x>}$ and names it |(A)|.
-The starred version \icmd{\tzvXpointat*} additionally prints a node dot at the (first) intersection point.
-
-For example, \icmd{\tzvXpoint}|{<path>}(<coor>)(A)| gives the same result as |\tzvXpoint{<path>}{<x-coor>}(A)|. Here the $y$ coordinate of |(<coor>)| is not important. |\tzvXpoint| is useful when you do not know the exact value of $x$ coordinate of |(<coor>)|.

+\section{Styles: \texttt{tzdotted}, \texttt{tzdashed}, \texttt{tzhelplines}}
+\label{s:styles:tzhelplines}
+
+The styles \ixttw{tzdotted}, \ixttw{tzdashed}, and \ixttw{tzhelplines} are defined as follows:
+
+\begin{tzsty}{}
+% styles: tzdotted, tzdashed, tzhelplines
+\tikzset{%
+ tzdotted/.style={line cap=round,dash pattern=on 0pt off 1cm/(#1)},
+ tzdotted/.default=10
+}
+\tikzset{%
+ tzdashed/.style={dashed=none,dash pattern=on 5mm/(#1) off 5mm/(#1)},
+ tzdashed/.default=10
+}
+\tikzset{%
+ tzhelplines/.style={help lines,-,tzdotted}
+}
+\end{tzsty}
+
+The styles |tzdotted| and |tzdashed| print 10 dots and 10 dashes per 1cm, respectively, by default.
+The style |tzhelplines| uses |tzdotted| by default.
+
+
+%%------------------------------------------------------------
+\section{\protect\cmd{\tzhelplines}, \protect\cmd{\tzhelplines*}}
+\label{s:tzhelplines}
+
+\icmd{\tzhelplines} draws |grid| from the first coordinate to the second coordinate.
+If only one coordinate is specified, then the first coordinate is regarded as |(0,0)|.
+
+The starred version \icmd{\tzhelplines*} uses the grid as a \iisw{bounding box}.
+
+\begin{tzdef}{}
+% syntax: minimum
+\tzhelplines(<coor>)
+% syntax: full
+\tzhelplines[<opt>](<coor1>)(<coor2>)
+% defaults
+ [help lines,tzdotted=10](<m>)()
+% (<m>): mandatory argument
+\end{tzdef}
+
+Here, |(|\ixxw{<m>}|)| stands for a \xem{mandatory} argument.
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzhelplines(4,3) % works similarly to:

+
+\tzhelplines(1,1)(4,3) % works similarly to:

+\end{tztikz}
+
+
+By default, |\tzhelplines| prints |grid| with |10| dots per |1cm|.
+|\tzhelplines| with the option value |[tzdotted=<n>]| prints |<n>| dots per |1cm|.
+(That is, the default value is |tzdotted=10|.)

+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+With the option value, |[tzdotted=<n>/<d>]|, |\tzhelplines| prints |<n>| dots per |<d>cm|.

+%%------------------------------------------------------------
+\section{\protect\cmd{\tzcdot(*)}: A small circle}
+\label{s:tzcdot}
+
+A dot is usually expressed by a small circle.
+\icmd{\tzcdot} prints a circle dot \tikz \tzcdot(0,0);.
+
+The starred version \icmd{\tzcdot*} prints a filled circle dot \tikz \tzcdot*(0,0);.
+The \xem{radius} of the circle is |1.2pt|, by default.
+
+\begin{tzdef}{}
+% syntax: minimum
+\tzcdot(<coor>)
+% syntax: medium
+\tzcdot*(<coor>){<label>}[<angle>](<radius>)
+% syntax: full
+\tzcdot*[<opt>]<shift coor>(<coor>){<label>}[<[label opt]angle>](<radius>)
+% defaults
+ *[ solid,thin,tzcdot=1.2pt ]<>(<m>){}[](1.2pt)
+% tzcdot is a predefined key (in this package).
+% (<m>): mandatory
+\end{tzdef}
+
+Here, |(|\ixxw{<m>}|)| stands for a \xem{mandatory} argument. All others are optional arguments.
+
+\paragraph{How to change the size}
+There are three ways to change the \xem{radius} of a circle dot drawn by |\tzcdot|.
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item The simplest way is to use the last parenthesis option, like |\tzcdot(0,0)(3pt)|.
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzcdot(0,0) % is an abbreviation of:
+ \draw (0,0) circle (1.2pt); % default radius=1.2pt
+\end{tztikz}
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzcdot*(0,0)(3pt) % is an abbreviation of:
+ \draw [fill] (0,0) circle (3pt);
+\end{tztikz}
+
+\item
+You can use the key-value option |[tzcdot=<dim>]|, like |\tzcdot[tzcdot=3pt](0,0)|, to change the \xem{radius} of a circle dot. The |tzcdot| key is defined in the package.
+If both the |tzcdot| key-value and the last parenthesis option are used, the former wins.
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzcdot*(1,1) % works like:
+ \draw [fill] (1,1) circle [radius=1.2pt]; % default radius=1.2pt
+\end{tztikz}
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzcdot*[tzcdot=3pt] % works like:
+ \draw [fill] (0,0) circle [radius=3pt];
+\end{tztikz}
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzcdot(*)
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,2)
+\tzcdot(0,0) \tzcdot[tzcdot=4pt](1,1)
+\tzcdot*(2,1)(2pt) \tzcdot*(3,0)(3pt)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\item
+Another way to change the radius is to use a macro, like |\settzcdotradius{3pt}|,
+It is effective within the |tizpicture| environment unless changed by \icmd{\settzcdotradius} again.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \settzcdotradius
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,2)
+\settzcdotradius{4pt}
+\tzcdot(0,0) \tzcdot(1,1)
+\tzcdot*(2,1)(2pt) \tzcdot*(3,0)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+
+\paragraph{How to label}
+You can add a label to a specified coordinate by adding the optional argument |{<label>}| immediately after |(<coor>)|. You can also change the |<label>| position by the option |[<angle>]|.
+(Note that you \xem{cannot} use the abbreviations such as |a|, |r|, |bl|, etc. to place label nodes.)
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzcdot(0,0){A} % is an abbreviation of:
+ \draw (0,0) circle (1.2pt) node [label={:A}] {};
+
+\tzcdot(0,0)(2pt){A}[[blue]0] % is an abbreviation of:
+ \draw (0,0) circle (2pt) node [label={[blue]0:A}] {};
+\end{tztikz}
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzcdot: labels
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzcdot(0,0){A} % default position: 90 or above
+\tzcdot[tzcdot=4pt](1,1){B}[0]
+\tzcdot*(2,1){C}[45](2pt)
+\tzcdot*(3,0){D}[-90](3pt)
+\tzcdot(4,3){E}[-90](6pt)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+The label position does not depend on the size of circle dots.
+
+\paragraph{How to change colors}
+With the first optional argument |[<opt>]|, you can change the color of a dot.
+You can also change the color of a label, as shown in the following example.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzcdot(*)
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\draw [help lines] (0,0) grid (4,3);
+\tzcdot(0,0){A}
+\tzcdot*[red](1,0){\textbf{B}}[45]
+\tzcdot*[red,fill=green](2,1){green}[[blue]0](10pt)
+\tzcdot[tzcdot=2*7pt](3,2){big}[center]
+\tzcdot*[fill=red,text=blue](4,3){D}(2*3pt)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+\paragraph{Shift}
+Dots can be shifted by specifying the optional argument |<shift coor>| immediately before |(<coor>)|. The empty shift option |<>| is not allowed.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzcdot: shift
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\draw [help lines] (0,0) grid (4,3);
+\tzcdot(0,0){A}
+\tzcdot*[red]<0,2>(1,0){\textbf{B}}[45] % shift
+\tzcdot*[red,fill=green](2,1){green}[[blue]0](10pt)
+\tzcdot[tzcdot=2*7pt]<1,-1>(3,2){big}[center] % shift
+\tzcdot*[fill=red,text=blue](4,3){D}(2*3pt)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzcdot: repeated
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,2)
+\foreach \x in {0,...,4}
+ { \foreach \A in {2,4,6,8}
+ { \tzcdot[blue] (\x,0)(\A pt) } }
+\foreach \x in {0,...,4}
+ { \foreach \A in {2,4,6,8}
+ { \tzcdot[red]<1,1>(\x,0)(\A pt) } } % shift
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+%%------------------------------------------------------------
+\section{\protect\cmd{\tzcdots(*)}: Multiple circle dots}
+\label{s:tzcdots}
+
+The macro \icmd{\tzcdots} takes an arbitrary number of coordinates as arguments to print multiple circle dots with the radius |1.2pt|, by default.
+You need to indicate when the iteration of an arbitrary number of coordinates ends, by typing a \xem{semicolon} |;|.
+Let us call this kind of macro a \iisw{semicolon version} macro.
+
+\remark
+\begin{itemize}
+\item DO NOT FORGET to enter `|;|' at the end of iteration.
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Tokens such as `|!|' and `|#|' other than the open parenthesis `|(|' work like the semicolon `|;|' to indicate the end of iteration.
+ But it is highly recommended to use `|;|' for consistency.
+ \end{itemize}
+\item Without the semicolon |;|, the macro does nothing or a compile error occurs.
+\end{itemize}
+
+
+The starred version |\tzcdots*| prints multiple filled dots.
+
+\begin{tzdef}{}
+% syntax: minimum
+\tzcdots*(<coor>)(<coor>)..repeated..(<coor>) ;
+% syntax: full
+\tzcdots*[<opt>]<shift coor> (<coor>){<label>}[<[label opt]angle>]
+ ..repeated.. (){}[] ; (<dot radius>)
+% defaults
+ *[tzcdot=1.2pt]<>(<m>){}[]..repeated..(){}[] ; (1.2pt)
+\end{tzdef}
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzcdots(*)
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzcdots(0,0)(1,1)(2,1)(3,2)(4,0);
+\tzcdots*(0,3)(1,2)(2,2)(3,3)(4,3);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\paragraph{How to label}
+
+Each coordinate can be followed by the optional arguments |{<label>}| and |[<angle>]| to label dots. So the repeating pattern is the triple |(<coor>){<label>}[<angle>]|.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzcdots: label
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzcdots(0,0){A}
+ (1,1)
+ (2,1){C}[0]
+ (3,2){D}[-90]
+ (4,0){E};
+\tzcdots*(0,3)(1,2){B}(2,2){C}[45](3,3)(4,3);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\paragraph{How to change the size of dots}
+
+There are three ways of changing the \xem{radius} of dots.
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item The simplest way is to use the \xem{last} parenthesis optional argument, \xem{after the semicolon}.
+\item Another way is to use the \ixxw{tzcdot} key, like |\tzcdots[tzcdot=3pt]...|.
+If both options are used the key-value option wins.
+\item You can also use the macro \icmd{\settzcdotradius}.
+The effect remains within the |tikzpicture| environment unless it is changed again.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzcdots: size (radius)
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\settzcdotradius{3pt}
+\tzcdots(0,0)(1,0){3pt};
+\tzcdots*(1,1)(2,1){1pt};(1pt) % simplest
+\tzcdots[tzcdot=5pt](2,2)(3,2){5pt};
+\tzcdots*(3,3)(4,3){3pt};
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+
+\paragraph{How to change colors}
+
+With the first optional argument |[<opt>]|, you can change the color of dots.
+You can also change the color of all labels at once using the first optional argument,
+like |\tzcdots[text=red]...| as shown in the following example.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzcdots: color
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\settzcdotradius{3pt}
+\tzcdots*[red]
+ (0,0)(1,1){\textbf{Ben}}[[blue]-90](2,1)(3,0);
+\tzcdots*[thick,blue,fill=green,text=red]
+ (1,2){A}(2,2){Ben}[[blue]-90](3,2){C}(4,2){D};(4pt)
+\tzcdots*[blue]
+ (1,3){A}(2,3){B}(3,3){C}(4,3){D};
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\paragraph{Shift} You can move the coordinates of dots by specifying |<shift coor>| option immediately before the first coordinate.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzcdots: shift
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzcdots[red] (0,0){A}(1,1)(2,1){C}(3,2){D}[0](4,0){E};
+\tzcdots*<0,1>(0,0){A}(1,1)(2,1){C}(3,2){D}[0](4,0){E};
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+%%------------------------------------------------------------
+\section{\protect\cmd{\tzdot(*)}: A single node dot}
+\label{s:tzdot}
+
+The macro \icmd{\tzdot} prints a small circle node \tikz \tzdot(0,0);, as a dot, with the \xem{diameter} (or |minimum size|) of |2.4pt|, by default.
+
+The starred version \icmd{\tzdot*} prints a filled dot \tikz \tzdot*(0,0);.
+
+\begin{tzdef}{}
+% syntax: minimum
+\tzdot(coor)
+% syntax: medium
+\tzdot*(<coor>){<label>}[<angle>](<dot size>)
+% syntax: full
+\tzdot*[<node opt>]<shift coor>(<coor>){<label>}[<[label opt]angle>](<dot size>)
+% defaults
+ *[ tzdot=2.4pt ]<>(<m>){}[](2.4pt)
+% the style tzdot is predefined
+% (<m>): mandatory
+\end{tzdef}
+
+|\tzdot(*)| accepts one mandatory argument, denoted by |(|\ixxw{<m>}|)|. All others are optional.
+
+The style \ixxw{tzdot} is defined as follows:
+
+\begin{tzsty}{}
+% style: tzdot
+\tikzset{
+ tzdot/.style={draw,circle,solid,thin,inner sep=0pt,minimum size=#1},
+ tzdot/.default=2.4pt
+}
+\end{tzsty}
+
+
+\subsection{{\normalfont\scshape Three Ways} to change the size of node dots}
+\label{ss:threeways}
+
+There are \iscw{Three Ways} to change the \xem{diameter} (or |minimum size|) of a node dot drawn by |\tzdot(*)|.
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item Use the predefined style |tzdot| in the first optional agrument, like |\tzdot[tzdot=5pt](0,0)|, which gives the same result as |\tzdot[minimum size=5pt](0,0)|.
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzdot(0,0) % works like:
+ \path (0,0) node [tzdot=2.4pt] {}; % default size
+ % or equivalently
+ \node [tzdot,minimum size=2.4pt] at (0,0) {};
+\end{tztikz}
+
+\item The simplest way is to use the \xem{last} parenthesis optional argument, like |\tzdot(0,0)(5pt)|, which yields the same result as in |\tzdot[tzdot=5pt](0,0)|.
+If both options are used, the |tzdot| (or |minimum size|) option overwrites the last parenthesis option.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzdot(*)
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,2)
+\tzdot(0,0) \tzdot[tzdot=8pt](1,1)
+\tzdot*(2,1)(4pt) \tzdot*(3,0)(6pt)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\item To change the size of all node dots drawn by |\tzdot*|, you can use the macro |\settzdotsize|. Its effect remains valid until the end of |tikzpicture| environment unless changed again.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \settzdotsize
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,2)
+\settzdotsize{8pt}
+\tzdot(0,0) \tzdot(1,1)
+\tzdot*(2,1)(4pt) \tzdot*(3,0)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\subsection{How to label}
+\label{ss:tzdot:label}
+
+You can add a label to a specified coordinate by specifying the optional argument |{<label>}| immediately after the coordinate |(<coor>)|.
+
+You can also change the label position by the option |[<angle>]| following |{<label>}|.
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzdot(0,0){A}(3pt) % works like:
+ \path (0,0) node [tzdot=3pt,label={:A}] {};
+
+\tzdot*(0,0){A}[[red]0](3pt) % works like:
+ \path (0,0) node [fill,tzdot=3pt,label={[red]0:A}] {};
+\end{tztikz}
+
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzdot: labels
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzdot(0,0){A}
+\tzdot(1,1){B}[0](8pt)
+\tzdot*(2,1){C}[45](4pt)
+\tzdot*(3,0){D}[-90](6pt)
+\tzdot(4,3){E}[-90](12pt)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+Unlike |\tzcdot|, the |\tzdot|'s label position depends on the size of a circle node. In \Tikz\ jargon, |{<label>}| is in a \iisw{label node} for a \iisw{main node} that is a circle node with no text in it, so |<label>| moves accordingly as the main node dot gets bigger or smaller.
+
+
+\subsection{How to change colors and shapes}
+\label{ss:tzdot:color}
+
+With the first optional argument |[<node opt>]|, you can change of the color or shape of dots.
+You can also change the label color using |[<label opt>]| as shown in the following example.
+
+\remark
+\begin{itemize}
+\item |[<node opt>]| is for options of \xem{main nodes}, |[<label opt>]| is for options of \xem{label nodes}.
+\item |[<label opt>]| is used in the form of |[<[label opt]angle>]|.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzdot: color
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\draw [help lines] (0,0) grid (4,3);
+\tzdot(0,0){A}
+\tzdot*[red](1,0){\textbf{B}}[45]
+\tzdot*[red,fill=green](2,1){green}[[blue]0](2*10pt)
+\tzdot[tzdot=4*7pt](3,2){big}[center]
+\tzdot*[fill=red](4,3){D}(4*3pt)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzdot: shape
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\draw [help lines] (0,0) grid (4,3);
+\tzdot[regular polygon](0,0){A}(10pt)
+\tzdot*[red](1,0){\textbf{B}}[45]
+\tzdot*[red,fill=green,rectangle](2,1){green}[0](2*10pt)
+\tzdot[tzdot=4*7pt](3,2){big}[center]
+\tzdot*[fill=red,star](4,3){D}(4*3pt)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+
+\subsection{How to move: \texttt{shift}}
+\label{ss:tzdot:shift}
+
+Dots can be shifted by specifying the optional argument |<shift coor>| immediately before |(<coor>)|. The empty shift option |<>| is not allowed.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzdot: shift
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\draw [help lines] (0,0) grid (4,3);
+\tzdot[regular polygon](0,0){A}(10pt)
+\tzdot*[red]<0,2>(1,0){\textbf{B}-shifted}[45] % shift
+\tzdot*[red,fill=green,rectangle](2,1){green}[0](2*10pt)
+\tzdot[tzdot=4*7pt]<1,-1>(3,2){big}[center] % shift
+\tzdot*[fill=red,star](4,3){D}(4*3pt)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzdot: repeated
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,2)
+\foreach \x in {0,...,4}
+ { \foreach \A in {1,2,3,4}
+ { \tzdot[blue] (\x,0)(2*\A mm) } }
+\foreach \x in {0,...,4}
+ { \foreach \A in {1,2,3,4}
+ { \tzdot[green]<1,1>(\x,0)(2*\A mm) } } % shift
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+\subsection{Comparison: \protect\cmd{\tzdot} and \protect\cmd{\tzcdot}}
+\label{ss:tzdot:comparison}
+
+The most important difference between |\tzcdot| and |\tzdot| is that |\tzcdot| is affected by \Tikz's scaling factor, but |\tzdot| is not.
+This is critical when |xscale| is not equal to |yscale|.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}[xscale=1.6,yscale=.8]
+\tzhelplines(3,3)
+\tzcdot(0,0)(3pt) % dostorted
+\tzdot(1,0)(6pt)
+\tzcdots*(1,1)(2,1)(3,1);(2pt) % distorted
+\tzdots*(1,2)(2,2)(3,2);(4pt)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+The following table further shows the differences between them.
+%Everything else is the same for end-users.
+
+\begin{tzcode}[listing only,colback=green!10!white]{.3}
+% concept % single % multi % size control % [key=default size]
+node [circle] \tzdot \tzdots \settzdotsize [tzdot=2.4pt] % diameter
+circle \tzcdot \tzcdots \settzcdotradius [tzcdot=1.2pt] % radius
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\remark
+\begin{itemize}
+\item In \Tikz, a `node' is `not' affected by `scaling' unless the \Tikz\ option |transform shape| is used together.
+|\tzdot| is also useful for labelling a large dot.
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item In |\tzdot|, |<label>| is a label in a \iisw{label node} for a node dot (as a \iisw{main node}).
+ So if a main node dot gets larger or smaller, its label moves accordingly.
+ (Unlike, the labels with |\tzcdot| or |\tzcdots|.)
+ \item The position of |<label>| in |\tzcdot| does not depend on the size of dots.
+ \end{itemize}
+\item The package |tzplot| takes |\tzdot| as a \xem{standard dot}, not |\tzcdot|.
+So, you can apply the \threeways\ (on page \pageref{ss:threeways}) to change the size of any standard dots.
+\end{itemize}
+

+\section{\protect\cmd{\tzdots(*)}: Multiple node dots}
+\label{s:tzdots}
+
+\icmd{\tzdots} takes an arbitrary number of coordinates as arguments to print multiple circle node dots with the \xem{diameter} (or |minimum size|) of |2.4pt|, by default.
+
+This is a \iisw{semicolon version} macro, with the repeating pattern |(<coor>){<label>}[<angle>]|, which means that you need to type a \xem{semicolon} `|;|' at the end of the coordinate repetition. The \xem{semicolon} says, ``\xem{The repetition ends here}."
+
+\remark
+\begin{itemize}
+\item DO NOT FORGET to enter `|;|' at the end of iteration.
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Tokens such as `|!|' and `|#|' other than the open parenthesis `|(|' work like the semicolon `|;|' to indicate the end of iteration.
+ But it is highly recommended to use `|;|' for consistency.
+ \end{itemize}
+\item Without the semicolon |;|, the macro does nothing or a compile error occurs.
+\end{itemize}
+
+The starred version \icmd{\tzdots*} prints multiple filled node dots.
+
+\begin{tzdef}{}

+\tzdots*(<coor>)(<coor>)..repeated..(<coor>) ;
+% syntax: full

+ ..repeated.. (){}[] ; (<dot size>)
+% defaults
+ *[tzdot=2.4pt]<> (<m>){}[] ..repeated.. (){}[] ; (2.4pt)
+\end{tzdef}
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzdots(*)
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzdots(0,0)(1,1)(2,1)(3,2)(4,0);
+\tzdots*(0,3)(1,2)(2,2)(3,3)(4,3);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\paragraph{How to label}
+
+Each coordinate can be followed by the optional arguments |{<label>}| and |[<angle>]| to label dots. So the triple |(<coor>){<label>}[<angle>]| is the whole repeating pattern.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzdots: label
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzdots(0,0){A}
+ (1,1)
+ (2,1){C}[0]
+ (3,2){D}[-90]
+ (4,0){E};
+\tzdots*(0,3)(1,2){B}(2,2){C}[45](3,3)(4,3);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+\paragraph{How to change the size of dots}
+
+There are \threeways\ of changing the \xem{diameter} of node dots, as discussed in Section \ref{ss:threeways} on page \pageref{ss:threeways}.
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item The simplest way is to use the \xem{last} parenthesis optional argument, \xem{after the semicolon}.
+\item Another way is to use the style \ixxw{tzdot}, like |\tzdots[tzdot=3pt]...|.
+If both options are used the |tzdot| option style wins.
+\item You can also use the macro \icmd{\settzdotsize}.
+The effect remains within the |tikzpicture| environment unless it is changed again.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzdots: size (diameter)
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\settzdotsize{3mm}
+\tzdots(0,0)(1,0){3mm};
+\tzdots*(1,1)(2,1){2mm};(2mm) % simplest
+\tzdots[tzdot=4mm](2,2)(3,2){4mm};
+\tzdots*(3,3)(4,3){3mm};
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+
+\paragraph{How to change colors}
+
+With the first optional argument |[<node opt>]| you can change the color of node dots.
+You can also change the color of each label by |[<label opt>]|.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzdots: color
+\begin{tikzpicture}[->]
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\settzdotsize{6pt}
+\tzdots*[red]
+ (0,0)(1,1){\textbf{Ben}}[[blue]-90](2,1)(3,0);
+\tzdots*[thick,blue,fill=green]
+ (1,2){A}(2,2){Ben}[[red]-90](3,2){C}(4,2){D};(8pt)
+\tzdots*[blue]
+ (1,3){A}(2,3){B}(3,3){C}(4,3){D};
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\remark
+\begin{itemize}
+\item |[<node opt>]| is the option of a \iisw{main node} and |[<label opt>]| is the option of a \iisw{label node}.
+\item |[<label opt>]| is used in the form of |[<[label opt]angle>]|, like |[[red]90]|.
+\item You can control all labels together using |every label/.style| as in the following examples:
+\end{itemize}
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzdots: every label/.style
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\settzdotsize{6pt}
+\tzdots*[red]
+ (0,0)(1,1){\textbf{Ben}}[[blue]-90](2,1)(3,0);
+\tzdots*[thick,blue,fill=green]
+ (1,2){A}(2,2){Ben}[[red]-90](3,2){C}(4,2){D};(8pt)
+\tikzset{every label/.style={draw,text=red}} %%
+\tzdots*[blue]
+ (1,3){A}(2,3){B}(3,3){C}(4,3){D}[0];
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% every label/.style
+\begin{tikzpicture}[every label/.style={draw,text=red}]
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzdots*
+ (0,0){Ace}[[font=\LARGE\ttfamily]-90]
+ (2,1){\textbf{Bob}}[[blue]135]
+ (3,2){$C_1$\\$N_o$}[[align=center]0];
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+\paragraph{Shift} You can move the coordinates of dots by specifying |<shift coor>| option immediately before the first coordinate.
+The empty shift option |<>| is not allowed.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzdots: shift
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzdots[red] (0,0){A}(1,1)(2,1){C}(3,2){D}[0](4,0){E};

+\label{s:tzcoor}
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzcoor}}
+\label{ss:tzcoor}
+
+For example, \icmd{\tzcoor}|(0,0)(A)| means that the coordinate |(0,0)| is named |(A)|.
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzcoor(0,0)(A) % is an abbreviation of:

+% defaults
+ <>(<m>)(<m>){}[]
+\end{tzdef}
+
+Here, |<m>| stands for `mandatory.' |\tzcoor| takes two mandatory arguments in parenthesis.
+
+\paragraph{How to label}
+You can put a label to a coordinate by specifying the optional arguments |{<label>}| and |[<angle>]| immediately after |(<name>)|.
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzcoor(0,0)(A){$A$}[0] % works like:

+\end{tzcode}
+
+\paragraph{Changing the color and size of a dot}
+
+You can change the color of a dot by specifying |[<dot opt>]|, which is, in fact, \Tikz's |node| option.
+To change the size of dots, you can apply the \threeways\ (see Subsection \ref{ss:threeways} on page \pageref{ss:threeways}).

+
+The macro \icmd{\tzcoors} takes an arbitrary number of pairs of coordinates and their names as arguments.
+For example, |\tzcoors(0,0)(A) (1,1)(B) (2,2)(C);| means that the coordinate |(0,0)| is represented by the name |(A)|, |(1,1)| by |(B)|, and |(2,2)| by |(C)|.

+\icmd{\tzplot} takes an arbitrary number of coordinates as arguments.
+Each |(<coor>)| can be followed by the optional arguments |{<label>}| and |[<angle>]| to label the coordinate. This is a \xem{semicolon version} and the whole repeating pattern is the triple |(<coor>){<label>}[<angle>]|. It is required to type a semicolon `|;|' to indicate when the coordinate iteration ends.
+
+The macro |\tzplot| draws connected line segments that link specified coordinates.

+\icmd{\tzmarksize} is the \xem{radius} of a |mark| and the default is |2pt| as in \Tikz.
+The value of |\tzmarksize| can be changed by the macro \icmd{\settzmarksize}, like |\settzmarksize{3pt}|.

+\tzplot*[red](0,2)(1,2)(2,0)(3,2);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\paragraph{Labels, marks, and mark size}
+You can also add labels to specified coordinates with the optional arguments |{<label>}| and |[<angle>]| immediately after each |(<coor>)|.
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzplot*(0,0){A}[90](1,2)(2,2)(3,3){D}[0]; % works like:

+ node (0,0) [label={90:D}] {}
+ node (3,3) [label={0:D}] {} ;
+\end{tztikz}
+
+There are three ways to change the mark size.
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item The simplest way is to use the parenthesis optional argument |(<mark size>)|, \xem{immediately after the semicolon}.
+\item You can use the style |tzmark|, like |tzmark=3pt|.
+\item You can also use the macro |\settzmarksize|, which is effective until the end of |tikzpicture| environment.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzplot*: label, size
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.8]

+\settzmarksize{4pt}
+\tzplot*[red](0,2){A}(1,2){B}(2,0){C}[[blue]0](3,2){D};
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+With |\tzplot*|, you can draw line segments by giving the \Tikz's option |draw| in the first bracket optional argument, like |\tzplot*[draw]|.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzplot*: line, more marks, size
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1]

+\tzplot*[draw,dashed,red,mark=heart](0,2)(1,2)(2,0)(3,2);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\remark In \Tikz, the |mark| shapes are affected by |scale|, |xscale|, and |yscale|.

+\tzplot*[draw,dashed,red,mark=heart](0,2)(1,2)(2,0)(3,2);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\paragraph{Shift}
+You can move specified coordinates using the option |<shift coor>| before the first coordinate (to be precise, immediately before the option |"<path name>"| if it exists).
+The empty shift option |<>| is not allowed.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}

+\section{\protect\cmd{\tzplot}: Lines}
+\label{s:tzplot-lines}
+
+|\tzplot| draws connected line segments connecting specified coordinates.
+(By default, |tension=0|.)
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzplot(0,0)(1,2)(2,2)(3,3); % works like:
+ \draw [tension=0] plot [smooth] coordinates { (0,0)(1,1)(2,2)(3,3) } ;
+\end{tztikz}
+
+
+\paragraph{Options: draw, mark, mark options, etc.}
+You can use the optional argument |[<opt>]| to change the style of lines and marks.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzplot: line
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.8]
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzplot (0,0)(1,1)(2,1)(3,3);
+\tzplot[dashed,mark=o](0,3)(1,3)(2,2)(3,1);
+\tzplot[red,mark=ball,mark options={ball color=purple}]
+ (0,1)(1,2)(2,0)(3,2);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+To close the path of |\tzplot| you can use the option |smooth cycle| in the first bracket optional argument |[<opt>]| or in the second bracket optional argument |[<plot opt>]|.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzplot: smooth cycle
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.8]
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzplot (0,0)(1,1)(2,1)(3,3);

+\tzplot[red,mark=*,mark options={blue}]
+ [smooth cycle] %%
+ (0,1)(1,2)(2,0)(3,2);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+
+\paragraph{Labels} You can label specified coordinates with the options |{<label>}| and |[<angle>]| immediately after each |(<coor>)|.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzplot: label
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.8]
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzplot(0,0){A}(1,1){B}[-90](2,1)(3,3){Da}[[draw]0];
+\tzplot[mark=o](0,3)(1,3){B}(2,2)(3,1){Db}[0];
+\tzplot[red,mark=*,draw=blue]
+ (0,1)(1,2){B}(2,0)(3,2){Dc}[[blue]0];
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\paragraph{Shift} You can also move the line segments by specifying the option |<shift coor>| before the first coordinate (to be precise, immediately before the option |"<path name>"| if it exists).
+The empty shift option |<>| is not allowed.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzplot: shift
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.8]

+\tzplot*[draw,red]<1,0>(0,1)(1,2)(2,0)(3,2){Dc}[0];
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\paragraph{\texttt{name path} for intersections}
+
+To find the intersection points of two lines, you may want to name the paths first, like |[name path=<path name>]| in \Tikz. With |\tzplot|, you can do it by specifying the quote optional argument |"<path name>"| immediately before the first coordinate.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzplot: "path name"
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.8]
+\tzhelplines(4,3)

+% intersection points
+\tzXpoint*[gray]{Da}{Db}
+\tzXpoint*[blue]{Da}{Dc}
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\paragraph{Extending the path}
+In order to \xem{extend a path}, formed by |\tzplot|, \xem{from the last coordinate}, you can write \Tikz\ code in the very last optional argument |<code.append>|, \xem{after the semicolon}.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzplot: "path name"
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.8]
+\tzhelplines(6,4)
+\tzplot(0,0)(1,1)(2,1)(3,3){Da}[0];< -- (6,4) >
+\tzplot[mark=o](0,3)(1,3)(2,2)(3,1){Db}[0];(4pt)
+\tzplot[mark=ball,red](0,1)(1,2)(2,0)(3,2){Dc}[0];
+ (5pt)< to [bend left] ++(2,-2) node {ends here!} >
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+%%------------------------------------------------------------
+\section{\protect\cmd{\tzplot}: Curves}
+\label{s:tzplot:curves}
+
+With |\tzplot|, the default value of |tension| is |0|.
+You can draw a curve with |\tzplot|, by specifying the optional argument |{<tension>}| before the coordinates or between the first and second bracket options (if they exist).
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzplot[blue,smooth cycle]{1}(0,0)(1,2)(2,2)(3,3); % works like:
+ \draw [blue,tension=1] plot [smooth cycle] coordinates { (0,0)(1,1)(2,2)(3,3) } ;
+\end{tztikz}
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.8]
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzplot[tension=1](0,0)(1,1)(2,1)(3,3);
+\tzplot[mark=o] (0,3)(1,3)(2,2)(3,1); % tension=0
+\tzplot*[draw,red,smooth cycle]{1}
+ (0,1)(1,2)(2,0)(3,2);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+To plot curves, the macro |\tzplotcurve| is provided.
+Basically, |\tzplotcurve| is the |tension=1| version of |\tzplot|.
+(See Section \ref{s:tzplotcurve} on page \pageref{s:tzplotcurve}.)
+
+
+%%------------------------------------------------------------
+\section{\protect\cmd{\tzplot}: Bars and combs}
+\label{s:tzplot-bars}
+
+With |\tzplot|, you can draw bars or combs, using the \Tikz\ options |ybar|, |xbar|, |ycomb|, and |xcomb|.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.8]
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzplot*[draw](0,0)(1,1)(2,1)(3,3);
+\tzplot[ybar](0,3)(1,3)(2,2)(3,1);
+\tzplot[dashed,red,mark=heart](0,1)(1,2)(2,0)(3,2);%(5pt)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.8]
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzplot[xbar](.5,2.5)(1,3)(2,2)(3,1);
+\tzplot[xbar,bar width=2mm,fill,red!50]
+ (1,2.5)(1.5,2)(2,0)(3,1.5);(3pt)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}

+ (1,2.5)(1.5,2)(2,0)(3,1.5);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\remark
+\begin{itemize}
+\item
+Do not use |<shift coor>| for plotting bars or combs to avoid getting unexpected results. It gives you wrong bars because |<shift coor>| moves coordinates but not bars.
+
+%\item Use the option |shift={(coor)}| to move bars.
+%\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+%% shift : shift={(1,1)}
+%\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1]
+%\tzhelplines(4,3)

+%\tzplot[red,mark=heart]<1,1>(0,2)(1,2)(2,0)(3,2);
+%\end{tikzpicture}
+%\end{tzcode}

+\item
+It can be a mess when using the \Tikz\ option |shift={(coor)}| with the type of mixed coordinates: native and named coordinates.

+\section{\protect\cmd{\tzplotcurve(*)}}
+\label{s:tzplotcurve}
+
+\icmd{\tzplotcurve} draws a curve connecting specified coordinates with |tension=1|, by default. Basically, it is equivalent to |\tzplot| with |[tension=1]|.
+
+The starred version \icmd{\tzplotcurve*} draws a curve and displays marks |*|, by default.
+Basically, this is equivalent to |\tzpolot*[draw,tension=1]|.
+
+\begin{tzdef}{}
+% syntax: minimum
+\tzplotcurve(<coor>)(<coor>)..repeated..(<coor>) ;
+% syntax: full
+\tzplotcurve*[<opt>]{<tension>} [<plot opt>]<shift coor>"<path name>"
+ (<coor>){<label>}[<[label opt]angle>]
+ ..repeated..
+ (){}[] ; (<mark size>) <code.append>
+% defaults
+ *[tzmark=2pt]{1}[smooth] <>"" (<m>){}[] ..repeated.. (){}[] ; (2pt) <>
+\end{tzdef}
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzplotcurve(0,0)(1,2)(2,2)(3,3); % works like:
+ \draw [tension=1] plot [smooth] coordinates { (0,0)(1,1)(2,2)(3,3) } ;
+\end{tztikz}
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzplotcurve[blue,smooth cycle]{2}(0,0)(1,2)(2,2)(3,3); % works like:
+ \draw [blue,tension=2] plot [smooth cycle] coordinates { (0,0)(1,1)(2,2)(3,3) } ;
+\end{tztikz}
+
+Since |\tzplotcurve| is a \xem{semicolon version}, you need to enter a semicolon to indicate when the coordinate iteration ends.
+In repeating coordinates, each mandatory coordinate can have a label.
+So the whole repeating pattern is the triple |(<coor>){<text>}[<pos>]|.
+For example, |(A){here}[above]| represents |(A) node [above] {here}| in \Tikz.
+
+\paragraph{Options: lines, labels, colors, smooth cycle}
+Use the first bracket option to control the colors of lines or labels.
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzplotcurve(0,0)(1,2)(2,2){A}[below](3,3){B}[right]; % works like:
+ \draw [tension=1] plot [smooth] coordinates { (0,0)(1,1)(2,2)(3,3) }
+ (2,2) node [below] {A}
+ (3,3) node [right] {B} ;
+\end{tztikz}
+
+You can change the color of all labels together by adding |[text=<color>]| to the first bracket option list.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzplotcurve(*)
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzplotcurve*[red,text=blue]
+ (0,0)(1,2){B}(2,2)(3,3)(4,1){E}[0];
+\tzplotcurve(1,.5)(2,3)(3,2)(2,1)(3,1);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+The simplest way to change the mark size is to specify |(<mark size>)| immediately after the semicolon |;|.
+To close the path of |\tzplotcurve|, you can use the \Tikz\ option |smooth cycle| in the first bracket option or in the second bracket option.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzplotcurve(*): smooth cycle, mark size
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)

+\tzplotcurve*[smooth cycle](1,.5)(2,3)(3,2)(2,1)(3,1);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\paragraph{Tension}
+You can change the value of |tension| (|tension=1| by default) by specifying the option |{<tension>}| before the coordinates or between the two bracket options if they exist.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzplotcurve: tension
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)

+\tzplotcurve[red]{.5}(1,3)(A)(4,0);
+\tzplotcurve[dashed]{0}(1,3)(A)(4,0);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+\paragraph{Shift} Use the optional argument |<shift coor>| before the first coordinate (to be precise, immediately before |"<path name>"|, if exists).
+The empty shift option |<>| is not allowed.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzplotcurve(*): shift
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)
+\tzplotcurve*[red,text=blue,smooth cycle]

+\tzplotcurve*[smooth cycle]
+ (1,.5)(2,3)(3,2)(2,1)(3,1);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+\paragraph{Extending the path} In order to extend the path created by |\tzplotcurve(*)| from the last coordinate, you can directly write \Tikz\ code in the very last optional argument |<code.append>|, after the semicolon.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzplotcurve(*): <code.append>
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+\tzhelplines(4,3)

+ < -- ++(-1,-1) node [below] {down} > %%
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+You can also use |<--cycle>| to \xem{close} the path \xem{with a straight line} from the last coordinate to the first coordinate.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzplotcurve(*): <--cycle>
+\begin{tikzpicture}

+\section{\protect\cmd{\tztos}: Multiple points: Semicolon version}
+\label{s:tztos}
+
+\icmd{\tztos} takes an arbitrary number of coordinates as arguments to connect them by \Tikz's |to| operation. Since this is a \xem{semicolon version}, you need to enter a \xem{semicolon} to indicate when the coordinate iteration ends.
+
+\begin{tzdef}{}

+\end{tzdef}
+
+The quadruple |(<coor>)[<to opt>]{<text>}[<node opt>]| is
+the whole repeating pattern.
+Here, |[<to opt>]| is for the options of \Tikz's |to| operation such as |[bend right]|, |[bend left]|, |[bend left=<angle>]|, |[out=<angle>,in=<angle>]| and so on.
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}

+You can add text next to lines or curves by specifying the options |{<text>}| and |[<node opt>]| \xem{in-between} coordinates or \xem{after} the option |[<to opt>]|, if it exists.

+\label{c:fillingarea}
+
+%%------------------------------------------------------------
+\section{\protect\cmd{\tzpath}: Semicolon version}
+\label{s:tzpath}
+
+
+\icmd{\tzpath} creates a path connecting an arbitrary number of coordinates, but it does not stroke the path. You can visualize the path with |\tzpath[draw]|.
+Since |\tzpath| is a \iisw{semicolon version} macro, you need to enter a \xem{semicolon} `|;|' to indicate where the coordinate iteration ends.
+
+
+\begin{tzdef}{}
+% syntax: minimal
+\tzpath (<coor>)(<coor>) ..repeated.. (<coor>) ;
+% syntax: full

+ ..repeated.. ()[]{}[] ; {<fill opacity>} <code.append>
+% defaults: \tzpath
+ {to}[]<>"" (<m>)[]{}[] ..repeated.. ()[]{}[] ; {}<>
+\end{tzdef}
+
+The main purpose of |\tzpath| is to fill an enclosed area with color or pattern.
+You can use |\tzpath[fill]| or |\tzpath[pattern=<...>]| to do it.
+
+
+\paragraph{Path construction operation}
+(If you are not an experienced user of \Tikz\, just skip this part.)
+
+|\tzpath| is similar to |\tztos|, but it is more flexible in constructing paths.
+|\tzpath| allows you to choose how to construct a path using the |[<path style>]| option \xem{in-between} coordinates. \xem{Path extension operation} can be selected from `|--|', `|to|', `\verb+|-+', `\verb+-|+', etc.
+You can use \xem{the first brace option} |{<path style>}| to change all the |<path style>| in-between coordinates.
+
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzpath: path construction
+\begin{tikzpicture}

+ (1,1)
+ (2,1)[to[out=-135,in=45]]
+ (3,0);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+The default path style is `|to|' and can also be changed by \icmd{\settzpathstyle}, like, for example, |\settzpathstyle{--}|. The effect remains valid until the end of |tikzpicture| environment unless changed again.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}

+\end{tzcode}
+
+You can extend the path of |\tzpath| by writing \Tikz\ code in the last (after the semicolon) optional argument |<code.append>|.

+
+The starred version \icmd{\tzpath*} additionally fills the interior of |\tzpath| with |black!50| with |fill opacity=.3| and |text opacity=1|, by default.
+
+|\tzpath*| works like |\tzpath[fill=black!50,fill opacity=.3,text opacity=1]|.
+You can change the defaults by \icmd{\settzfillcolor} and \icmd{\settzfillopacity}.

+\tzpath[fill,green,fill opacity=.5]
+ <1,-1>(0,0)(3,1)(2,3)(0,2);

-\section{\protect\cmd{\tzcdot(*)}: A small circle}
-\label{s:tzcdot}
-
-A dot is usually expressed by a small circle.
-\icmd{\tzcdot} prints a circle dot \tikz \tzcdot(0,0);.
-
-The starred version \icmd{\tzcdot*} prints a filled circle dot \tikz \tzcdot*(0,0);.
-The \xem{radius} of the circle is |1.2pt|, by default.
-
-\begin{tzdef}{}
-% syntax: minimum
-\tzcdot(<coor>)
-% syntax: medium
-\tzcdot*(<coor>){<label>}[<angle>](<radius>)
-% syntax: full
-\tzcdot*[<opt>]<shift coor>(<coor>){<label>}[<[label opt]angle>](<radius>)
-% defaults
- *[ solid,thin,tzcdot=1.2pt ]<>(<m>){}[](1.2pt)
-% tzcdot is a predefined key (in this package).
-% (<m>): mandatory
-\end{tzdef}
-
-Here, |(|\ixxw{<m>}|)| stands for a \xem{mandatory} argument. All others are optional arguments.
-
-\paragraph{How to change the size}
-There are three ways to change the \xem{radius} of a circle dot drawn by |\tzcdot|.
-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item The simplest way is to use the last parenthesis option, like |\tzcdot(0,0)(3pt)|.
-
-\begin{tztikz}{}
-\tzcdot(0,0) or \tzcdot(0,0)(1.2pt) % is an abbreviation of:
- \draw (0,0) circle (1.2pt); % default radius=1.2pt
-\end{tztikz}
-
-\begin{tztikz}{}
-\tzcdot*(0,0)(3pt) % is an abbreviation of:
- \draw [fill] (0,0) circle (3pt);
-\end{tztikz}
-
-\item
-You can use the key-value option |[tzcdot=<dim>]|, like |\tzcdot[tzcdot=3pt](0,0)|, to change the \xem{radius} of a circle dot. The |tzcdot| key is defined in the package.
-If both the |tzcdot| key-value and the last parenthesis option are used, the former wins.
-
-\begin{tztikz}{}
-\tzcdot\tzcddot[tzcdot=1.2pt](1,1) or \tzcdot(1,1) % works like:
- \draw (1,1) circle [radius=1.2pt]; % default radius=1.2pt
-\end{tztikz}
-
-\begin{tztikz}{}
-\tzcdot*[tzcdot=3pt] % works like:
- \draw [fill] (0,0) circle [radius=3pt];
-\end{tztikz}
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzcdot(*)
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,2)
-\tzcdot(0,0) \tzcdot[tzcdot=4pt](1,1)
-\tzcdot*(2,1)(2pt) \tzcdot*(3,0)(3pt)
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-\item
-Another way to change the radius is to use a macro, like |\settzcdotradius{3pt}|,
-It is effective within the |tizpicture| environment unless changed by \icmd{\settzcdotradius} again.

-\paragraph{How to label}
-You can add a label to a specified coordinate by adding the optional argument |{<label>}| immediately after |(<coor>)|. You can also change the |<label>| position by the option |[<angle]|.
-(Note that you \xem{cannot} use the abbreviations such as |a|, |r|, |bl|, etc. to place label nodes.)

-\paragraph{How to change colors}
-With the first optional argument |[<opt>]| you can change the color of a dot.
-You can also change the color of a label, as shown in the following example.

-\section{\protect\cmd{\tzcdots(*)}: Multiple circle dots}
-\label{s:tzcdots}
-
-The macro \icmd{\tzcdots} takes an arbitrary number of coordinates as arguments to print multiple circle dots with the radius |1.2pt|, by default.
-You need to indicate when the iteration of an arbitrary number of coordinates ends, by typing a \xem{semicolon} |;|.
-Let us call this kind of macro a \iisw{semicolon version}.
-
-\remark
-\begin{itemize}
-\item DO NOT FORGET to enter `|;|' at the end of iteration.
- \begin{itemize}
- \item Tokens such as `|!|' and `|#|' other than the open parenthesis `|(|' works like the semicolon `|;|' to indicate the end of iteration.
- But it is highly recommended to use `|;|' for consistency.
- \end{itemize}
-\item Without |;|, the macro does nothing or a compile error occurs.
-\end{itemize}
-
-
-The starred version |\tzcdots*| prints multiple filled dots.
-
-\begin{tzdef}{}
-% syntax: minimum
-\tzcdots*(<coor>)(<coor>)..repeated..(<coor>) ;
-% syntax: full
-\tzcdots*[<opt>]<shift coor> (<coor>){<label>}[<[label opt]angle>]
- ..repeated.. (){}[] ; (<dot radius>)
-% defaults
- *[tzcdot=1.2pt]<>(<m>){}[]..repeated..(){}[] ; (1.2pt)
-\end{tzdef}

-\tzcdots*(0,3)(1,2)(2,2)(3,3)(4,3);
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-\paragraph{How to label}
-
-Each coordinate can be followed by the optional arguments |{<label>}| and |[<angle>]| to label dots. So the repeating pattern is the triple |(<coor>){<label>}[<angle>]|.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzcdots: label
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzcdots(0,0){A}

- (4,0){E};
-\tzcdots*(0,3)(1,2){B}(2,2){C}[45](3,3)(4,3);
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-\paragraph{How to change the size of dots}
-
-There are three ways of changing the \xem{radius} of dots.
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item The simplest way is to use the \xem{last} parenthesis optional argument, \xem{after the semicolon}.
-\item Another way is to use the \ixxw{tzcdot} key, like |\tzcdots[tzcdot=3pt]...|.
-If both options are used the key-value option wins.
-\item You can also use the macro \icmd{\settzcdotradius}.
-The effect remains within the |tikzpicture| environment unless it is changed again.
-\end{enumerate}
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzcdots: size (radius)
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\settzcdotradius{3pt}
-\tzcdots(0,0)(1,0){3pt};
-\tzcdots*(1,1)(2,1){1pt};(1pt) % simplest
-\tzcdots[tzcdot=5pt](2,2)(3,2){5pt};
-\tzcdots*(3,3)(4,3){3pt};
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-
-
-\paragraph{How to change colors}
-
-With the first optional argument |[<opt>]|, you can change the color of dots.
-You can also change the color of all labels together using the first optional argument,
-like |\tzcdots[text=red]...| as shown in the following example.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzcdots: color
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\settzcdotradius{3pt}
-\tzcdots*[red]
- (0,0)(1,1){\textbf{Ben}}[[blue]-90](2,1)(3,0);
-\tzcdots*[thick,blue,fill=green,text=red]
- (1,2){A}(2,2){Ben}[[blue]-90](3,2){C}(4,2){D};(4pt)
-\tzcdots*[blue]
- (1,3){A}(2,3){B}(3,3){C}(4,3){D};
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-\paragraph{Shift} You can move the coordinates of dots by specifying |<shift coor>| option immediately before the first coordinate.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzcdots: shift
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzcdots[red] (0,0){A}(1,1)(2,1){C}(3,2){D}[0](4,0){E};
-\tzcdots*<0,1>(0,0){A}(1,1)(2,1){C}(3,2){D}[0](4,0){E};

-\section{\protect\cmd{\tzdot(*)}: A single node dot}
-\label{s:tzdot}
-
-The macro \icmd{\tzdot} prints a small circle node \tikz \tzdot(0,0);, as a dot, with the \xem{diameter} (or |minimum size|) of |2.4pt|, by default.
-
-The starred version \icmd{\tzdot*} prints a filled dot \tikz \tzdot*(0,0);.
-
-\begin{tzdef}{}
-% syntax: minimum
-\tzdot(coor)
-% syntax: medium
-\tzdot*(<coor>){<label>}[<angle>](<dot size>)
-% syntax: full
-\tzdot*[<node opt>]<shift coor>(<coor>){<label>}[<[label opt]angle>](<dot size>)
-% defaults
- *[ tzdot=2.4pt ]<>(<m>){}[](2.4pt)
-% the style tzdot is predefined
-% (<m>): mandatory
-\end{tzdef}
-
-|\tzdot(*)| accepts one mandatory argument, denoted by |(|\ixxw{<m>}|)|. All others are optional.
-
-The style \ixxw{tzdot} is defined as follows:
-
-\begin{tzsty}{}
-% style: tzdot
-\tikzset{
- tzdot/.style={draw,circle,solid,thin,inner sep=0pt,minimum size=#1},
- tzdot/.default=2.4pt
-}
-\end{tzsty}
-
-
-\subsection{{\normalfont\scshape Three Ways} to change the size of node dots}
-\label{ss:threeways}
-
-There are \iscw{Three Ways} to change the \xem{diameter} (or |minimum size|) of a node dot drawn by |\tzdot(*)|.
-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item Use the predefined style |tzdot| in the first optional agrument, like |\tzdot[tzdot=5pt](0,0)|, which gives the same result as |\tzdot[minimum size=5pt](0,0)|.
-
-\begin{tztikz}{}
-\tzdot(0,0) % works like:
- \path (0,0) node [tzdot=2.4pt] {}; % default size
-% or equivalently
- \node [tzdot,minimum size=2.4pt] at (0,0) {};
-\end{tztikz}
-
-\item The simplest way is to use the last parenthesis optional argument, like |\tzdot(0,0)(5pt)|, which yields the same result as in |\tzdot[tzdot=5pt](0,0)|.
-If both options are used, the |tzdot| (or |minimum size|) option overwrites the last parenthesis option.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzdot(*)
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,2)
-\tzdot(0,0) \tzdot[tzdot=8pt](1,1)
-\tzdot*(2,1)(4pt) \tzdot*(3,0)(6pt)
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-\item To change the size of all node dots draw by |\tzdot*|, you can use the macro |\settzdotsize|. Its effect remains until the end of |tikzpicture| environment unless changed again.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \settzdotsize
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,2)
-\settzdotsize{8pt}
-\tzdot(0,0) \tzdot(1,1)
-\tzdot*(2,1)(4pt) \tzdot*(3,0)
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-\end{enumerate}
-
-\subsection{How to label}
-\label{ss:tzdot:label}
-
-You can add a label to a specified coordinate by specifying the optional argument |{<label>}| immediately after the coordinate |(<coor>)|.
-
-You can also change the label position by the option |[<angle>]| following |{<label>}|.
-
-\begin{tztikz}{}
-\tzdot(0,0){A}(3pt) % works like:
- \path (0,0) node [tzdot=3pt,label={:A}] {};
-
-\tzdot*(0,0){A}[[red]0](3pt) % works like:
- \path (0,0) node [fill,tzdot=3pt,label={[red]0:A}] {};
-\end{tztikz}
-
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzdot: labels
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzdot(0,0){A}
-\tzdot(1,1){B}[0](8pt)
-\tzdot*(2,1){C}[45](4pt)
-\tzdot*(3,0){D}[-90](6pt)
-\tzdot(4,3){E}[-90](12pt)
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-Unlike |\tzcdot|, the |\tzdot|'s label position depends on the size of a circle node. In \Tikz\ jargon, |{<label>}| is a \iisw{label node} for a \iisw{main node} that is a circle node with no text in it.
-
-
-\subsection{How to change colors and shapes}
-\label{ss:tzdot:color}
-
-With the first optional argument |[<node opt>]| you can change of the color or shape of dots.
-You can also change the label color using |[<label opt>]| as shown in the example below.
-
-\remark
-\begin{itemize}
-\item |[<node opt>]| is for options of \xem{main nodes}, |[<label opt>]| is for options of \xem{label nodes}.
-\item |[<label opt>]| is used in the form of |[[<label opt>]angle>]|.

- { \tzdot[green]<1,1>(\x,0)(2*\A mm) } } % shift
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-
-\subsection{Comparison: \protect\cmd{\tzdot} and \protect\cmd{\tzcdot}}
-\label{ss:tzdot:comparison}
-
-The most important difference between |\tzcdot| and |\tzdot| is that |\tzcdot| is affected by \Tikz's scaling factor, but |\tzdot| is not.
-This is critical when |xscale| is not equal to |yscale|.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-\begin{tikzpicture}[xscale=1.6,yscale=.8]
-\tzhelplines(3,3)
-\tzcdot(0,0)(3pt) % dostorted
-\tzdot(1,0)(6pt)
-\tzcdots*(1,1)(2,1)(3,1);(2pt) % distorted
-\tzdots*(1,2)(2,2)(3,2);(4pt)
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-The following table further shows the differences between them.
-%Everything else is the same for end-users.
-
-\begin{tzcode}[listing only,colback=green!10!white]{.3}
-% concept % single % multi % size control % [key=default size]
-node [circle] \tzdot \tzdots \settzdotsize [tzdot=2.4pt] % diameter
-circle \tzcdot \tzcdots \settzcdotradius [tzcdot=1.2pt] % radius
-\end{tzcode}
-
-\remark
-\begin{itemize}
-\item In \Tikz, a `node' is `not' affected by `scaling' unless the \Tikz\ option |transform shape| is used together.
-|\tzdot| is also useful for labelling a large dot.
- \begin{itemize}
- \item In |\tzdot|, |<label>| is a label in a \iisw{label node} for a node dot (as a \iisw{main node}).
- So if a node dot gets larger, its label moves accordingly.
- (Unlike, a label with |\tzcdot| or |\tzcdots|.)
- \item The position of |<label>| in |\tzcdot| does not depend on the size of dots.
- \end{itemize}
-\item The package |tzplot| takes |\tzdot| as a \xem{standard dot}, not |\tzcdot|.
-So, you can apply the \threeways\ (on page \pageref{ss:threeways}) to change the size of any standard dots.
-\end{itemize}

-\section{\protect\cmd{\tzplot} and \protect\cmd{\tzplot*}: Syntax}
-\label{s:tzplot}
-
-\icmd{\tzplot} takes an arbitrary number of coordinates as arguments.
-Each |(<coor>)| can be followed by the optional arguments |{<label>}| and |[<angle>]| to label the coordinate. This is a \xem{semicolon version} and the whole repeating pattern is the triple |(<coor>){<label>}[<angle>]|. It is required to type a semicolon |;| to indicate when the coordinate iteration ends.
-
-The macro |\tzplot| draws connected line segments that link specified coordinates.
-
-\begin{tzdef}{}
-% syntax: minimum

-% defaults
- [tzmark=2pt]{0}[smooth] <>"" (<m>){}[] ..repeated.. (){}[] ; (2pt) <>
-\end{tzdef}
-
-The style \ixxw{tzmark} is defined as follows:
-
-\begin{tzsty}{}
-% style: tzmark
-\tikzset{
- tzmark/.style=
- {mark options={solid,thin},mark size=#1},
- tzmark/.default=\tzmarksize
-}
-\end{tzsty}
-
-\icmd{\tzmarksize} is the \xem{radius} of a |mark| and the default is |2pt| as in \Tikz.
-The value of |\tzmarksize| can be changed by the macro \icmd{\settzmarksize}, like |\settzmarksize{3pt}|.
-
-
-The starred version |\tzplot*| draw connected line segments and print dot marks at specified coordinates.

-
-\begin{tztikz}{}

-
-\paragraph{Labels, marks, and marks size}
-You can also add labels to specified coordinates with the optional arguments |{<label>}| and |[<angle>]| immediately after each |(<coor>)|.
-
-\begin{tztikz}{}
-\tzplot*(0,0){A}[90](1,2)(2,2)(3,3){D}[0]; % works like:

- node (0,0) [label={90:D}] {}
- node (3,3) [label={0:D}] {} ;
-\end{tztikz}
-
-There are three ways to change the mark size.
-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item The simplest way is to use the parenthesis optional argument |(<mark size>)|, \xem{immediately after the semicolon}.
-\item You can use the style |\tzmark|, like |\tzmark=3pt|.
-\item You can also use the macro |\settzmarksize|, which is effective until the end of |tikzpicture| environment.

-\tzplot[red,mark=ball,mark options={ball color=purple}]
- (0,1)(1,2)(2,0)(3,2);
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-To close the path of |\tzplot| you can use the option |smooth cycle| in the first bracket optional argument |[<opt>]| or in the second bracket optional argument |[<plot opt>]|.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}

- (0,1)(1,2){B}(2,0)(3,2){Dc}[[blue]0];
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-\paragraph{Shift} You can also move the line segments by specifying the option |<shift coor>| before the first coordinate (to be precise, immediately before the option |"<path name>"| if it exists).
-

-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-\paragraph{\texttt{name path} for intersections}
-
-To find the intersection point of two lines, you may want to name the paths first, like |[name path=<path name>]| in \Tikz. With |\tzplot|, you can do it by specifying the quotation optional argument |"<path name>"| immediately before the first coordinate.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzplot: "path name"

-\section{\protect\cmd{\tzplot}: Curves}
-\label{s:tzplot:curves}
-
-You can draw a curve with |\tzplot|, by specifying the optional argument |{<tension>}| before the coordinates or between the first and second bracket options (if they exist).
-The default value of |tension| is |0|.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.8]
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzplot[tension=1](0,0)(1,1)(2,1)(3,3);
-\tzplot[mark=o] (0,3)(1,3)(2,2)(3,1); % tension=0
-\tzplot*[draw,red,smooth cycle]{1}
- (0,1)(1,2)(2,0)(3,2);
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-To plot curves, the macro |\tzplotcurve| is provided.
-Basically, |\tzplotcurve| is the |tension=1| version of |\tzplot|.
-(See Section \ref{s:tzplotcurve} on page \pageref{s:tzplotcurve}.)

-\section{\protect\cmd{\tzplot}: Bars and combs}
-\label{s:tzplot-bars}
-
-With |\tzplot|, you can draw bars or combs, using the \Tikz\ options |ybar|, |xbar|, |ycomb|, and |xcomb|.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.8]
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzplot*[draw](0,0)(1,1)(2,1)(3,3);
-\tzplot[ybar](0,3)(1,3)(2,2)(3,1);
-\tzplot[dashed,red,mark=heart](0,1)(1,2)(2,0)(3,2);%(5pt)
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.8]
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzplot[xbar](.5,2.5)(1,3)(2,2)(3,1);
-\tzplot[xbar,bar width=2mm,fill,red!50]
- (1,2.5)(1.5,2)(2,0)(3,1.5);(3pt)

-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-\remark
-\begin{itemize}
-\item
-Do not use |<shift coor>| for plotting bars or combs to avoid getting unexpected results. It gives you wrong bars because |<shift coor>| moves coordinates but not bars.
-
-%\item Use the option |shift={(coor)}| to move bars.
-%\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-%% shift : shift={(1,1)}
-%\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1]
-%\tzhelplines(4,3)
-%\tzplot*[draw]<1,1>(0,0)(1,1)(2,1)(3,3);

-%\tzplot[red,mark=heart]<1,1>(0,2)(1,2)(2,0)(3,2);
-%\end{tikzpicture}

-It can be a mess when using |shift={(coor)}| with the type of mixed coordinates: native and named coordinates.

-\section{\protect\cmd{\tzplotcurve(*)}}
-\label{s:tzplotcurve}
-
-\icmd{\tzplotcurve} draws a curve connecting specified coordinates with |tension=1|, by default. Basically, it is equivalent to |\tzplot| with |[tension=1]|.
-
-The starred version \icmd{\tzplotcurve*} draws a curve and displays marks |*|, by default.
-Basically, this is equivalent to |\tzpolot*[draw,tension=1]|.
-
-\begin{tzdef}{}
-% syntax: minimum
-\tzplotcurve(<coor>)(<coor>)..repeated..(<coor>) ;
-% syntax: full
-\tzplotcurve*[<opt>]{<tension>} [<plot opt>]<shift coor>"<path name>"
- (<coor>){<label>}[<[label opt]angle>]
- ..repeated..
- (){}[] ; (<mark size>) <code.append>
-% defaults
- *[tzmark=2pt]{1}[smooth] <>"" (<m>){}[] ..repeated.. (){}[] ; (2pt) <>
-\end{tzdef}
-
-\begin{tztikz}{}
-\tzplotcurve(0,0)(1,2)(2,2)(3,3); % works like:
- \draw [tension=1] plot [smooth] coordinates { (0,0)(1,1)(2,2)(3,3) } ;
-\end{tztikz}
-
-\begin{tztikz}{}
-\tzplotcurve[blue,smooth cycle]{2}(0,0)(1,2)(2,2)(3,3); % works like:
- \draw [blue,tension=2] plot [smooth cycle] coordinates { (0,0)(1,1)(2,2)(3,3) } ;
-\end{tztikz}
-
-Since |\tzplotcurve| is a \xem{semicolon version}, you need to enter a semicolon to indicate when the coordinate iteration ends.
-In repeating coordinates, each mandatory coordinate can have a label.
-So the whole repeating pattern is the triple |(<coor>){<text>}[<pos>]|.
-For example, |(A){here}[above]| is something like, in |tikz|,
-|(A) node [above] {here}|.
-
-\paragraph{Options: lines, labels, colors, smooth cycle} Use the first bracket option.
-
-\begin{tztikz}{}
-\tzplotcurve(0,0)(1,2)(2,2){A}[below](3,3){B}[right]; % works like:
- \draw [tension=1] plot [smooth] coordinates { (0,0)(1,1)(2,2)(3,3) }
- (2,2) node [below] {A}
- (3,3) node [right] {B} ;
-\end{tztikz}
-
-You can change the color of all labels together by adding |[text=<color>]| to the first bracket option list.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzplotcurve(*)
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzplotcurve*[red,text=blue]
- (0,0)(1,2){B}(2,2)(3,3)(4,1){E}[0];
-\tzplotcurve(1,.5)(2,3)(3,2)(2,1)(3,1);
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-The simplest way to change the mark size is to specify |(<mark size>)| immediately after the semicolon |;|.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzplotcurve(*): smooth cycle, mark size
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzplotcurve*[red,text=blue,smooth cycle]
- (0,0)(1,2){B}(2,2)(3,3)(4,1){E}[0];(3pt) %%
-\tzplotcurve*[smooth cycle](1,.5)(2,3)(3,2)(2,1)(3,1);
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-\paragraph{Tension}
-You can change the value tension (|1| by default) by specifying the options |{<tension>}| before the coordinates or between the two bracket options if they exist.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzcoor(.5,.5)(A)
-\tzplotcurve[blue]{2}(1,3)(A)(4,0);
-\tzplotcurve[thick](1,3)(A)(4,0); % default: tension=1
-\tzplotcurve[red]{.5}(1,3)(A)(4,0);
-\tzplotcurve[dashed]{0}(1,3)(A)(4,0);
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-
-\paragraph{Shift} Use the optional argument |<shift coor>| before the first coordinate (to be precise, immediately before |"<path name>"|, if exists).
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzplotcurve(*): shift
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzplotcurve*[red,text=blue,smooth cycle]
- <0,1>(0,0)(1,2){B}(2,2)(3,3)(4,1){E}[0];(3pt) %%
-\tzplotcurve*[smooth cycle](1,.5)(2,3)(3,2)(2,1)(3,1);
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-
-\paragraph{Extending the path} In order to extend the path of |\tzplotcurve| from the last coordinate, you can write \Tikz\ code in the very last optional argument |<code.append>|, after the semicolon.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzplotcurve(*): <code.append>
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzplotcurve*[red,text=blue,thick]
- (0,0)(1,2){B}(2,2)(3,3)(4,1){E}[-45];(3pt)
- < arc (-90:90:1cm) node [above] {up} > %%
-\tzplotcurve[dashed](1,.5)(2,3)(3,2)(2,1)(3,1);
- < -- ++(-1,-1) node [below] {down} > %%
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-You can also use |<--cycle>| to close the path with a straight line from the last coordinate to the first coordinate.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzplotcurve(*): <--cycle>
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzplotcurve*[red,text=blue]
- (0,0)(1,2)(2,2)(3,3)(4,1){A}[right];(3pt)<--cycle>
-\tzplotcurve(1,.5)(2,3)(3,2)(2,1)(3,1);<--cycle>
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-\paragraph{\texttt{name path} for intersection points}
-You can name the path of |\tzplotcurve| by specifying the option |"<path name>"| immediately before the first coordinate.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzplotcurve(*): name path
-\begin{tikzpicture}
-\tzhelplines(4,3)
-\tzplotcurve[blue]"IC"(.5,3)(1.5,1.2)(4,.5){$u$}[0];

-\begin{tzsty}{}
-% tzshorten

-\tikzset{%
- tzextend/.style 2 args ={shorten <=-#1, shorten >=-#2},

-\end{tzsty}
-
-For example, |[tzshorten={2mm}{1mm}]| is equivalent to |[shorten <=2mm,shorten >=1mm]| in \
-Tikz. Simple |[tzshorten]| means that |[tzshorten={2pt}{2pt}]| by default.
-
-The style |tzextend| is a negative |tzshorten|. For example, |tzextend{2mm}{1mm}| is equivalent to |tzshorten{-2mm}{-1mm}|.

-\section{\protect\cmd{\tztos}: Multiple points: Semicolon version}
-\label{s:tztos}
-
-\icmd{\tztos} takes an arbitrary number of coordinates as arguments to connect them by \Tikz\ |to| operation. Since this is a \xem{semicolon version}, you need to enter a \xem{semicolon} to indicate when the coordinate iteration ends.
-So the quadruple |(<coor>)[<to opt>]{<text>}[<node opt>]| is
-the whole repeating pattern.
-Here, |[<to opt>]| is for the options of |to| operation such as |[bend right]|, |[bend left=<angle>]|, |[out=<angle>,in=<angle>]|and so on.
-
-\begin{tzdef}{}

-\end{tzdef}
-
-\begin{tztikz}{}

-\paragraph{How to connect coordinates}
-You can use \Tikz's |to| operation option to connect the coordinates with different types of curves.

-\paragraph{Adding text}
-You can add text next to lines or curves by specifying the options |{<text>}| and |[<node opt>]| inbetween coordinates or after the option |[<to opt>]|, if it exists.
-You can also add text at or around the last coordinate by the last options |{<text>}| and |[<node opt>]|.

-\section{\protect\cmd{\tzpath} and \protect\cmd{\tzpath*}: Semicolon versions}
-\label{s:tzpath}
-
-
-\icmd{\tzpath} creates a path connecting an arbitrary number of coordinates, but it does not stroke the path. You can visualize the path with |\tzpath[draw]|.
-Since |\tzpath| is a \ixsw{semicolon version} macro, you need to enter a \xem{semicolon} |;| to indicate where the coordinate iteration ends.
-
-
-The main purpose of |\tzpath| is to fill an enclosed area with color or pattern.
-You can use |\tzpath[fill]| or |\tzpath[pattern=<...>]| to do it.
-
-The starred version \icmd{\tzpath*} fills the interior of |\tzpath| with |black!50| with |fill opacity=.3|, by default.
-|\tzpath*| is equivalent to |\tzpath[fill=black!50,fill opacity=.3]|.
-You can change the defaults by \icmd{\settzfillcolor} and \icmd{\settzfillopacity}.
-The effect remains valid until the end of the |tikzpicture| environment, unless changed again.
-

-\end{tzdef}
-
-\paragraph{Path construction operation}
-(If you are not an experienced user of \Tikz\, just skip this part.)
-
-|\tzpath| is similar to |\tztos|, but it is more flexible in constructing paths.
-|\tzpath| allows you to choose how to construct a path using the |[<path style>]| option \xem{inbetween} coordinates. \xem{Path extension operation} can be selected from `|--|', `|to|', `\verb+|-+', `\verb+-|+', etc.
-You can use the first brace option |{<path style>}| to change all the |<path style>| inbetween coordinates. The default path style is `|to|' and can be change by \icmd{\settzpathstyle}, like |\settzpathstyle{--}|. It remains valid until the end of |tikzpicture| environment unless changed again.

+\label{s:tzaxes}
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzaxes}}
+\label{ss:tzaxes}
+
+Basically, \cmd{\tzaxes}|(<x1,y1>)(<x2,y2>)| draws the $x$ axis from |<x1>| to |<x2>| and the $y$ axis from |<y1>| to |<y2>|.
+The coordinate |(<x1,y1>)| represents the origin and |(<x2,y2>)| represents the opposite corner of the rectangle formed by the two coordinates.
+
+|\tzaxes| takes only one coordinate |(<x2,y2>)| as a mandatory argument, in which case the coordinate |(<x1,y1>)| is considered as |(0,0)|.
+
+\begin{tzdef}{}
+% syntax: minimal
+\tzaxes(<x2,y2>){<x-axis name>}{<y-axis name>}
+% syntax: full
+\tzaxes[<opt>]<x-shift,y-shift>(<x1,y1>)(<x2,y2>)
+ {<x-axis name>}[<node opt>]{<y-axis name>}[<node opt>]
+% defaults
+ [->]<0,0>(0,0)(<m>){}[right]{}[above]
+% arguments
+ [#1]: line style, arrow type (for x-axis & y-axis)
+ <#2>: axes shift coor %% axes intersect at (#2)
+ (#3): (x1,y1) %% origin: if omitted, regarded as (0,0)
+ (#4): (x2,y2) %% opposite corner: mandatory
+ {#5}: x-axis name
+ [#6]: x-axis name option %% node option
+ {#7}: y-axis name
+ [#8]: y-axis name option %% node option
+\end{tzdef}
+
+Here, |(|\ixxw{<m>}|)| stands for a mandatory argument.

+\end{tzcode}
+
+\paragraph{Shift}
+By default, the $x$ and $y$ axes intersect at $(0,0)$.
+Specifying the option |<x-shift,y-shift>| moves the axes to intersect at $(\text{\ttfamily<x-shift,y-shift>})$.

+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzaxes*}}
+\label{ss:tzaxes*}
+
+The starred version \icmd{\tzaxes*} sets the current state to a \iisw{bounding box} when the macro |\tzaxes| execution is complete. It is recommended for you to use |\tzaxes*| as the first graphics command in |tikzpicture| environment or before any larger graphics.

+\section{Display the origin}
+\label{s:tzshoworigin}
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzshoworigin}}
+\label{ss:tzshoworigin}
+
+
+\icmd{\tzshoworigin} prints `0' (approximately) at the bottom left of the origin |(0,0)|, by default.
+
+\begin{tzdef}{}
+% syntax
+\tzshoworigin<shift coor>(<origin>){<text>}[<node opt>]
+% default
+ <>(0,0){0}[below left,text height=1.25ex,text depth=.25ex]
+\end{tzdef}
+
+All arguments of |\tzshoworigin| are optional.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzshoworigin
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.45]
+\tzhelplines(8,5)
+\tzshoworigin
+\tzaxes(8,5)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+You can change the text by specifying the curly brace option |{<text>}|, like, for example, |\tzshoworigin{$O$}|.
+You can also change the coordinate of origin by the option |(<origin>)|.
+Specifying the option |<shift coor>| also moves the origin.
+
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzshoworigin: shift
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.45]
+\tzhelplines(-2,-1)(8,6)
+\tzshoworigin{$O_1$} %%
+\tzaxes(8,6){$x$}{$y$}
+\tzshoworigin<2,1>{$O_2$}[red] %%
+\tzaxes[dashed]<2,1>(8,6)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzshoworigin*}}
+\label{ss:tzshoworigin*}
+
+
+\icmd{\tzshoworigin*} prints a node dot at the origin with no text by default.
+Internally the dot is processed by |\tzdot*|. All arguments are optional.
+
+\begin{tzdef}{}
+% syntax
+\tzshoworigin*[<dot opt>]<shift coor>(<origin>){<text>}[<node opt>](<dot size>)
+% default
+ *[]<>(0,0){}[below left,text height=1.25ex,text depth=.25ex](2.4pt)
+\end{tzdef}
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}

+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.45]
+\tzhelplines(-2,-1)(6,4)
+\tzshoworigin*
+\tzaxes(-2,-1)(6,4)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+You can add text with the option |{<text>}|.
+The default size of the dot is |2.4pt|, and it can be changed with the last option |(<dot size>)|. You can change the dot style using the first optional argument |[<dot opt>]|.
+You can also move the dot by specifying the option |<shift coor>|.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzshoworigin*
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
+\tzhelplines(-1,-1)(7,7)
+\tzshoworigin*[blue]{$o_1$}[red](5pt)

+\tzaxes<6,4>(6,4)(1,1){$x'$}[left]{$y'$}[below]
+\tzshoworigin*[fill=none]<6,4>{$O'$}[blue,ar](3pt)
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\remark
+For |\tzshoworigin*|, text for the origin and the dot are placed independently. In other words, the position of node text does not depend on the size of a node dot.
+(In fact, the node text for the origin should look good with the `ticks labels', so it was not designed as a |label| for the node dot. This also means that the origin text cannot be positioned by an |<angle>|.)
+
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzshoworigin* (with tick labels)
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
+\tzhelplines(-2,1)(6,5)
+\tzshoworigin*{0}(5pt)
+\tzaxes(-2,-1)(6,5){$x$}{$y$}
+\tzticks{1,...,5}{1,...,4}
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+
+%%------------------------------------------------------------
+\section{\protect\cmd{\tzaxesL(')}: L-type axes}
+\label{s:tzaxesL}
+
+\icmd{\tzaxesL} is similar to |\tzaxes|, but it draws only the `L' type axes with |(<x1,y1>)| as the origin and |(<x2,y2>)| as the opposite corner of the rectangle.
+Those two coordinates are mandatory.
+
+\begin{tzdef}{}
+% syntax
+\tzaxesL[<opt>]<shift coor>(<x1,y1>)(<x2,y2>)
+ {<x-axis name>}[<node opt>]{<y-axis name>}[<node opt>]
+% defaults
+ []<>(<m>)(<m>){}[right]{}[above]
+% arguments:
+ [#1]: line style, arrow type
+ <#2>: shift coordinate
+ (#3): (x1,y1) %% mandatory
+ (#4): (x2,y2) %% mandatory
+ {#5}: x-axis name
+ [#6]: x-axis name option %% node option
+ {#7}: y-axis name
+ [#8]: y-axis name option %% node option
+\end{tzdef}
+
+The \iisw{swap version} \icmd{\tzaxesL'} swaps |(<x1,y1>)| and |(<x2,y2>)|.
+That is, |\tzaxesL'(A)(B)| is equivalent to |\tzaxesL(B)(A)|.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzaxesL, \tzaxesL'
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
+\tzhelplines(8,7)
+\tzshoworigin
+\tzaxes(8,7){$x$}{$y$}
+\tzaxesL[red,thick](2,2)(6,5){$a$}{$b$}
+\tzaxesL'[blue,dashed,->](2,2)(6,5){$c$}{$d$}
+\tzaxesL'[->](7,1)(4,7){m}[draw,r]{n}[draw,circle]
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+The option |<shift coor>| moves the whole L-type axes.
+The empty option |<>| is not allowed.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzaxesL, \tzaxesL': shift
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]

+\section{\protect\cmd{\tzticks}: Tick labels}
+\label{s:tzticks}
+
+By default, \icmd{\tzticks} prints tick labels and draws zero length tick marks, i.e. from |(0pt)| to |(0pt)|.
+
+\begin{tzdef}{}

+\end{tzdef}
+
+\paragraph{Tick labels}
+Internally, |\tzticks| uses \Tikz's |foreach| operation.
+So you need to provide comma separated lists to print tick labels.
+If only one comma separated list is specified, it is for $x$ tick labels.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}

+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\paragraph{Tick marks}
+To prints tick marks you need to specify |(<x-from:x-to>)| for $x$ ticks and/or |(<y-from:y-to>)| for $y$ ticks. (The default is |(0pt:0pt)|.)
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}

+\paragraph{Shift}
+The position of tick labels does not depend on the length of the tick marks.

+\label{s:tzfn}
+
+\subsection{Syntax}
+\label{ss:tzfn}
+
+\icmd{\tzfn} plots a function of |\x|.
+
+\begin{tzdef}{}
+% syntax: minimum
+\tzfn{<fn of \x>}[<domain>]
+% syntax: medium
+\tzfn{<fn of \x>}[<domain>]{<text>}[<pos>]
+% syntax: full

+% [<domain>] should be of the form [<from num:to num>]
+% defaults
+ [samples=200]<>""{<m>}[<m>]{}[]<>
+\end{tzdef}
+
+|\tzfn| takes two mandatory arguments: |{<fn of \x>}| and |[<domain>]|.
+The domain should be of the form |[<from num:to num>]|, like |[1:5]|.
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzfn{2*\x+1}[1:5] % works like:
+ \draw [samples=200,domain=1:5] plot (\x,{2*\x+1});
+\end{tztikz}
+
+
+\subsection{Define and name functions}
+
+To use |\tzfn| you need to express a function as a function of |\x|.
+You can add text (as a function name) at the end of the graph,
+by specifying |{<text>}| and |[<node opt>]| immediately after the domain.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzfn
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
+\tzhelplines(8,8)
+\tzaxes(8,8)

+\tzfn{\Dx}[0:7]{$D$}[r]
+\tzfn{1+\x}[0:7]{$S$}[blue,r]
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+You can also use the predefined functions of \Tikz\ such as |sin|, |cos|, |ln|, |log10|, |log2|, |exp|, |sqrt|, and so on. (See \Tikz\ manual.)
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}

+\def\Hx{ln(\x)}
+\tzfn\Fx[-2:2*pi]{$\sin\,x+3$}[blue,r]
+\tzfn[blue]\Gx[-2:2]{$e^x$}[red,r]
+\tzfn[dashed]\Hx[.2:7]{$\ln\,x$}[r]
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\subsection{Name paths: \texttt{name path}}
+\label{ss:tzfn:namepath}
+
+You can name the path of |\tzfn| by specifying the option |"<path name>"| immediately before the mandatory argument |{<fn of \x>}|. You can use the path name to find intersection points.
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzfn"mypath"\Fx[1:5] % works like:
+ \draw [samples=200,,domain=1:5,name path=mypath] plot (\x,{\Fx});
+\end{tztikz}
+
+\remark
+Suppose that the function's expression |<fn of \x>| consists \xem{only of a macro name}, say |\Fx|. Then
+\begin{itemize}
+\item The macro name |Fx| (\xem{without the backslash}) is \xem{automatically assigned} to |<path name>|, unless you give another name.
+\item That is, |\tzfn\Fx| is equivalent to |\tzfn"Fx"\Fx|.
+(\xem{You don't need to type the same thing twice}.)
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzfn\Fx[1:5] % works like:
+ \draw [samples=200,domain=1:5,name path=Fx] plot (\x,{\Fx});
+\end{tztikz}
+\end{itemize}

+\tzfn \Sx[0:7]{$S$}[blue,r] % name path = Sx
+\tzXpoint*{Dx}{Sx}(E){E}
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+\subsection{Move graphs: \texttt{shift}}
+
+You can move the graph of |\tzfn| by specifying the option |<shift coor>| \xem{before} the mandatory argument |{<fn of \x>}| or \xem{immediately before} the option |"<path name>"|, if it exists.
+The empty shift option |<>| is not allowed.
+

+\subsection{Extend paths: \texttt{<code.append>}, \protect\cmd{\tzfnAtBegin}, \protect\cmd{\tzfnAtEnd}}
+\label{ss:tzfn:atbegin}
+
+\paragraph{\texttt{<code.append>}}
+You can extend the path created by |\tzfn| from the end of the graph, by writing \Tikz\ code in the \xem{last optional argument} |<code.append>|. Internally it adds the \Tikz\ code to the path \xem{after} the options |{<text>}| and |[<node opt>]|.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzfn: <code.append>
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]

+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+\paragraph{\texttt{\bs tzfnAtEnd}}
+You can also extend the path with \icmd{\tzfnAtEnd}.
+Internally it adds \Tikz\ code immediately \xem{before} the options |{<text>}| and |[<node opt>]|. But you have to use |\tzfnAtEnd| (immediately) \xem{before each} |\tzfn|.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}

+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
+\tzhelplines(-2,-2)(8,6)

+% < to [bend right] ++(2,-2) node [b] {End!} >
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+
+\paragraph{\texttt{\bs tzfnAtBegin}}
+You can use \icmd{\tzfnAtBegin} (immediately) \xem{before each} |\tzfn| to insert \Tikz\ code before the path of |\tzfn|.
+
+\begin{tzcode}{.3}
+% \tzfnAtBegin (before \tzfn)

+\section{\protect\cmd{\tzLFn}: Plot linear functions}
+\label{s:tzLFn}
+
+
+\icmd{\tzLFn} draws a linear function: $y=ax+b$.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item
+When you know two coordinates on a line,
+|\tzLFn(<coor1>)(<coor2>)| draws the line.
+\item
+When you know one coordinate and the slope of a line,
+|\tzLFn(<coor1>){<slope>}| draws the line.
+\item
+If you specify all the three arguments |(<coor1>)(<coor2>){<slope>}|, then the slope is ignored.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\begin{tzdef}{}

+\end{tzdef}
+
+|\tzLFn| accepts two mandatory arguments: |(<coor1>)| and |[<domain>]|.
+\begin{itemize}
+\item The domain should be of the form |[<from num:to num>]|.
+\item If just one coordinate is specified without a slope, the slope is regarded as |1|, by default.
+\end{itemize}
+
+For example, |\tzLFn(1,1)(2,3)[0:4]| draws a line passing through two points: $(1,1)$ and $(2,3)$, over $0\leq x\leq 4$.
+|\tzLFn(1,1){.5}[0:4]| draws a line passing through a point $(1,1)$ with the slope |.5|, over $0\leq x\leq 4$.
+
+You can add text at the end of the line of |\tzLFn| by the options |{<text>}| and |[<node opt>]|. You can also name the path of |\tzLFn| by specifying the option |"<path name>"| immediately before the mandatory coordinate.
+

+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{tzcode}
+
+You can move the line of |\tzLFn| by specifying the option |<shift coor>| immediately before the option |"<path name>"|. (The empty shift option |<>| is not allowed.)

+\remark Internally, the default domain of |\tzhfnat| depends on the \ixxw{current bounding box}.
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Each |\tzhfnat| may draw a line with a (slightly) different length.
+\item If an appropriate |current bounding box| is not formed before |\tzhfnat| is executed, you will probably get an unexpected result.
+\item In that case, you can fix a |bounding box| in the beginning of the |tikzpicture| environment using macros such as \icmd{\tzbbox}, \icmd{\tzhelplines*}, \icmd{\tzaxes*}, or \Tikz's \icmd{\useasboundingbox}.

+Internally, |\tzvXpointat| depends on the |current bounding box|, which generally does not cause a problem because it is used after paths to be intersected are formed.
+In case of any problem of no intersection point, you may want to fix a bounding box using |\tzbbox| or |\tzaxes*| or \Tikz's |\useasboundingbox|.

+The |raise| value of a brace is |5pt| by default and the value can be changed by the first curly brace optional argument |{<raise>}|.
+
+The |amplitude| of a brace is |5pt| by default. You can control the amplitude by writing the option |amplitude=<dim>| in the second bracket option |[<decoration opt>]|.
+
+\begin{tztikz}{}
+\tzbrace[thick](0,0)(3,1) % works like:

+
+The \iisw{wap version} \icmd{\tzbrace'} swaps the coordinates.

+You can change the style of the decorating brace by the second bracket optional argument |[<decoration opt>]|.

-\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzaxes}}
-\label{ss:tzaxes}
-
-Basically, \cmd{\tzaxes}|(<x1,y1>)(<x2,y2>)| draws the $x$ axis from |<x1>| to |<x2>| and the $y$ axis from |<y1>| to |<y2>|.
-The coordinate |(<x1,y1>)| represents the origin and |(<x2,y2>)| represents the opposite corner of the rectangle.
-
-|\tzaxes| takes only one coordinate |(<x2,y2>)| as a mandatory argument, in which case |(<x1,y1>)| is considered as |(0,0)|.
-
-\begin{tzdef}{}
-% syntax: minimal
-\tzaxes(<x2,y2>){<x-axis name>}{<y-axis name>}
-% syntax: full
-\tzaxes[<opt>]<x-shift,y-shift>(<x1,y1>)(<x2,y2>)
- {<x-axis label>}[<node opt>]{<y-axis name>}[<node opt>]
-% defaults
- [->]<0,0>(0,0)(<m>){}[right]{}[above]
-% arguments
- [#1]: line style, arrow type (for x-axis & y-axis)
- <#2>: axes shift coor %% axes intersect at (#2)
- (#3): (x1,y1) %% origin: if omitted, regarded as (0,0)
- (#4): (x2,y2) %% opposite corner: mandatory
- {#5}: x-axis name
- [#6]: x-axis name option %% node option
- {#7}: y-axis name
- [#8]: y-axis name option %% node option
-\end{tzdef}
-
-Here, |(|\ixxw{<m>}|)| stands for a mandatory argument.

-
-\paragraph{Shift}
-By default, the $x$ and $y$ axes intersect at $(0,0)$.
-Specifying the option |<x-shift,y-shift>| moves the axes to intersect at $(\text{\ttfamily<x-shift,y-shift>})$.

-\label{ss:tzaxes*}
-
-The starred version \icmd{\tzaxes*} sets the current state to a \iisw{bounding box} when |\tzaxes| is executed. It is recommended for you to use |\tzaxes*| as the first graphics command in |tikzpicture| environment or before any larger graphics.

-\section{Display the origin}
-\label{s:tzshoworigin}
-
-\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzshoworigin}}
-\label{ss:tzshoworigin}
-
-
-\icmd{\tzshoworigin} prints `0' (approximately) at the bottom left of the origin |(0,0)|, by default.
-
-\begin{tzdef}{}
-% syntax
-\tzshoworigin<shift coor>(<origin>){<text>}[<node opt>]
-% default
- <>(0,0)<>{0}[below left,text height=1.25ex,text depth=.25ex]

-
-All arguments of |\tzshoworigin| are optional.

-\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
-\tzhelplines(8,5)
-\tzshoworigin
-\tzaxes(8,5)
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-You can change the text by specifying the curly brace option |{<text>}|, like, for example, |\tzshoworigin{$O$}|.
-You can also change the coordinate of origin by the option |(<origin>)|.
-Specifying the option |<shift coor>| also moves the origin.
-
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzshoworigin
-\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
-\tzhelplines(-2,-1)(8,6)
-\tzshoworigin{$O_1$}

-
-\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tzshoworigin*}}
-\label{ss:tzshoworigin*}
-
-
-\icmd{\tzshoworigin*} prints a node dot at the origin with no text by default.
-Internally the dot is processed by |\tzdot*|. All arguments are optional.
-
-\begin{tzdef}{}
-% syntax
-\tzshoworigin*[<dot opt>]<shift coor>(<origin>){<text>}[<node opt>](<dotsize>)
-% default
- *[]<>(0,0)<>{}[below left,text height=1.25ex,text depth=.25ex](2.4pt)

-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}

-\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
-\tzhelplines(-2,-1)(6,4)
-\tzshoworigin*
-\tzaxes(-2,-1)(6,4)
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-You can add text with the option |{<text>}|.
-The default size of the dot is |2.4pt|, and it can be changed it with the last option |(<dot size)|. You can change the dot style using the first optional argument |[<dot opt>]|.
-You can also move the dot by specifying the option |<shift coor>|.

-\tzshoworigin*[fill=none]<6,4>{$O'$}[blue,ar](3pt)
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-\remark
-For |\tzshoworigin*|, text for the origin and the dot are placed independently. In other words, the position of node text does not depend on the size of a node dot.
-(In fact, the node text for the origin should look good with the `ticks', so it was not designed as a |label| for the node dot. This also means that the origin text cannot be positioned by an |<angle>|.)
-
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzshoworigin* (with ticks)
-\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
-\tzhelplines(-2,1)(6,5)

-\end{tzcode}
-
-
-
-%%------------------------------------------------------------
-\section{\protect\cmd{\tzaxesL(')}: L-type axes}
-\label{s:tzaxesL}
-
-\icmd{\tzaxesL} is similar to |\tzaxes|, but it draws only the `L' type axes with |(<x1,y1>)| as the origin and |(<x2,y2>)| as the opposite corner of the rectangle.
-Those two coordinates are mandatory.
-
-\begin{tzdef}{}
-% syntax
-\tzaxesL[<opt>]<shift coor>(<x1,y1>)(<x2,y2>)
- {<x-axis name>}[<node opt>]{<y-axis name>}[<node opt>]
-% defaults
- []<>(<m>)(<m>){}[right]{}[above]
-% arguments:
- [#1]: line style, arrow type
- <#2>: shift coordinate
- (#3): (x1,y1) %% mandatory
- (#4): (x2,y2) %% mandatory
- {#5}: x-axis name
- [#6]: x-axis name option %% node option
- {#7}: y-axis name
- [#8]: y-axis name option %% node option
-\end{tzdef}
-
-The swap version \icmd{\tzaxesL'} swaps |(x1,y1)| and |(x2,y2)| from |\tzaxesL|.
-That is, |\tzaxesL'(A)(B)| is equivalent to |\tzaxesL(B)(A)|.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzaxesL, \tzaxesL'
-\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]

-\section{\protect\cmd{\tzticks}: Tick labels}
-\label{s:tzticks}
-
-By default, \icmd{\tzticks} prints tick labels and draw zero length tick marks, i.e. from |(0pt)| to |(0pt)|.
-
-\begin{tzdef}{}
-% syntax: minimal
-\tzticks{<x-ticks pos>}{<y-ticks pos>}

-\end{tzdef}
-
-\paragraph{Tick labels}
-Internally, |\tzticks| uses \Tikz's |foreach| operation.
-So you need to provide comma separated lists to print tick labels.
-If only one comma separated is used, it is for $x$ tick labels.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}

-\end{tzcode}
-
-\paragraph{Tick marks}
-To prints tick marks you need to specify |(<x-from:x-to>)| for $x$ ticks and/or |(<y-from:y-to>)| for $y$ ticks. (The default is |(0pt:0pt)|.)

-The position of tick labels does not depend on the length of the tick marks.
-To change the position, use the option |<x-shift,y-shift>|, where |<x-shift>| is for |y-ticks| and |<y-shift>| is for |x-ticks|.

-\section{\protect\cmd{\tzfn}: Plot functions}
-\label{s:tzfn}
-
-\subsection{Syntax}
-\label{ss:tzfn}
-
-\icmd{\tzfn} plots a function of |\x|.
-
-\begin{tzdef}{}
-% syntax: minimum
-\tzfn{<fn of \x>}[<domain>]
-% syntax: medium
-\tzfn{<fn of \x>}[<domain>]{<text>}[<pos>]
-% syntax
-\tzfn[<opt>]<shift coor>"<path name>"
- {<fn of \x>}[<domain>]{<text>}[<node opt>]<code.append>
-% [<domain>] should be of the form [<from num:to num>]
-% defaults
- [samples=200]<>""{<m>}[<m>]{}[]<>
-\end{tzdef}
-
-|\tzfn| takes two mandatory arguments: |{<fn of \x>}| and |[<domain>]|.
-The domain should be of the form |[<from num:to num>]|, like |[1:5]|.
-
-\begin{tztikz}{}
-\tzfn{2*\x+1}[1:5] % works like:
- \draw [samples=200,domain=1:5] plot (\x,{2*\x+1});
-\end{tztikz}
-
-
-\subsection{Define and name functions}
-
-To use |\tzfn| you need to express a function as a function of |\x|.
-You can add text (as a function name) at the end of the graph,
-by specifying |{<text>}| and |[<node opt>]| immediately after the domain.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzfn
-\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
-\tzhelplines(8,8)
-\tzaxes(8,8)
-\def\Dx{7-2/3*\x}
-\tzfn{\Dx}[0:7]{$D$}[r]
-\tzfn{1+\x}[0:7]{$S$}[blue,r]
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-You can also use the predefined functions of \Tikz such as |sin|, |cos|, |ln|, |log10|, |log2|, |exp|, |sqrt|, and so on. (See \Tikz\ manual.)
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzfn
-\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
-\tzhelplines(-2,-2)(8,6)
-\tzaxes*(-2,-2)(8,6)
-\def\Fx{sin(\x r)+3}
-\def\Gx{exp(\x)}
-\def\Hx{ln(\x)}
-\tzfn\Fx[-2:2*pi]{$\sin\,x+3$}[blue,r]
-\tzfn[blue]\Gx[-2:2]{$e^x$}[red,r]
-\tzfn[dashed]\Hx[.2:7]{$\ln\,x$}[r]
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-\subsection{Name paths: \texttt{name path}}
-
-You can name the path of |\tzfn| by specifying the option |"<path name>"| immediately before the mandatory argument |{<fn of \x>}|. You can use the path name to find intersection points.
-
-\begin{tztikz}{}
-\tzfn"mypath"\Fx[1:5] % works like:
- \draw [samples=200,,domain=1:5,name path=mypath] plot (\x,{\Fx}};
-\end{tztikz}

-\tzfn"Dx"\Dx[0:7]{$D$}[r]
-\tzfn"Sx"\Sx[0:7]{$S$}[blue,r]
-\tzXpoint*{Dx}{Sx}(E){E}
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-\remark
-Suppose that the mandatory argument |<fn of \x>| is represented by a macro name only, say |\Fx|. Then
-\begin{itemize}
-\item The name |Fx| (without the backslash) of the macro can be used as |<path name>|, unless you specify another name.
-\item That is, |\tzfn\Fx| is equivalent to |\tzfn"Fx"\Fx|.
-(You don't need to type the same thing twice.)
-\begin{tztikz}{}
-\tzfn\Fx[1:5] % works like:
- \draw [samples=200,domain=1:5,name path=Fx] plot (\x,{\Fx});
-\end{tztikz}
-\end{itemize}
-
-\subsection{Move graphs: \texttt{shift}}
-
-You can move the graph of |\tzfn| by specifying the option |<shift coor>| before the mandatory argument |{<fn of \x>}| or immediately after the option |"<path name">|, if any.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}
-% \tzfn: shift
-\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.6]

-\tzfn[dashed]<1,1>"demandA"\Dx[0:7]{$D'$}[right]
-\tzfn[dashed]<1,-1>"supplyA"\Sx[0:7]{$S'$}[right]
-\tzXpoint*{demandA}{supplyA}(E1){$E'$}
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}

-
-\subsection{Extend paths: \texttt{<code.append>}, \protect\cmd{\tzfnAtBegin}, \protect\cmd{\tzfnAtEnd}}
-\label{ss:tzfn:atbegin}
-
-\paragraph{\texttt{<code.append>}}
-You can extend the path created by |\tzfn| from the end of the graph, by writing \Tikz\ code in the \xem{last optional argument} |<code.append>|. Internally it add the \Tikz\ code after the text node |{<text>}| and |[<node opt>]|.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}

-\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]

- < to [bend right] ++(2,-2) node [b] {End!} >
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tzcode}
-
-\paragraph{\texttt{\bs tzfnAtEnd}}
-You can also extend the path with \icmd{\tzfnAtEnd}.
-Internally it adds \Tikz\ code immediately before the options |{<text>}| and |[<node opt>]|. But you have to use |\tzfnAtEnd| (immediately) \xem{before each} |\tzfn|.
-
-\begin{tzcode}{.3}

-
-
-\paragraph{\texttt{\bs tzfnAtBegin}}
-You can use \icmd{\tzfnAtBegin} (immediately) \xem{before each} |\tzfn| to insert \Tikz\ code before the path of |\tzfn|.

-\section{\protect\cmd{\tzLFn}: Plot linear functions}
-\label{s:tzLFn}
-
-
-\icmd{\tzLFn} draws a linear function: $y=ax+b$.
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item
-When you know two coordinates on a line,
-|\tzLfn(<coor1>)(<coor2>)| draws the line.
-\item
-When you know one coordinate and the slope of a line,
-|\tzLfn(<coor1>){<slope>}| draws the line.
-\item
-If you specify all the three arguments |(<coor1>)(<coor2>){<slope>}|, then the slope is ignored.
-\end{itemize}
-
-\begin{tzdef}{}

-[]<>""(<m>)(){1}[<m>]{}[]<>
-\end{tzdef}
-
-|\tzLFn| accepts two mandatory arguments: |(<coor1>)| and |<domain>|.
-\begin{itemize}
-\item The domain should be of the form |[<from num:to num>]|.
-\item If just one coordinate is specified without a slope, the slope is regarded as |1|, by default.
-\end{itemize}
-
-For example, |\tzLFn(1,1)(2,3)[0:4]| draws a line passing through two points: $(1,1)$ and $(2,3)$, over $0\leq x\leq 4$.
-|\tzdefLFn\Gx(1,1){.5}[0:4]| draws a line passing through a point $(1,1)$ with the slope |.5|, over $0\leq x\leq 4$.
-
-You can add text at the end of the line of |\tzLFn| by the options |{<text>}| and |[<node opt>]|. You can also name the path of |\tzLFn| by specifying the option |"<path name>"| immediately before the mandatory coordinate.

-In case of any problem of no intersection point, you can use |\tzbbox| or |\tzaxes*| or \Tikz's |\useasboundingbox| to fix a bounding box.

-\subsection{\protect\cmd{\tztangentat}}
-\label{ss:tztangentat}
-
-\icmd{\tztangentat} draws a tangent line to a curve at a specified value of $x$.
-By default, the tangent line is drawn on the |behind| layer, which can be changed by \icmd{\settztangentlayer}, like |\settztangentlayer{main}|.
-
-\begin{tzdef}{}

-\end{tzdef}
-
-To calculate the slope at $x$, $x$ varies over the interval $(x-\varepsilon_1,x+\varepsilon_2)$ and $\varepsilon_1=\varepsilon_2=0.01$ by default.
-So the slope of tangent line is only \xem{approximate}.
-
-\paragraph{Domain}
-|\tztangentat| takes three mandatory arguments: |{<path>}|, |{<x-val>}|, and |[<domain>]|. The mandatory argument |[<domain>]| should be of the form |[<from num:to num>]|.

-
-
-
-\paragraph{Variations}
-The slope of the tangent line is approximate, so sometimes you may want to change the variation interval to get better results.
-You can change $\varepsilon_1$ and $\varepsilon_2$ by specifying the option |(epsilon1,epsilon2)| immediately after the mandatory argument |<x-val>|.
-Or you can change the variations with the macro \icmd{\settztangentepsilon},
-like |\settztangentepsilon{|$\varepsilon_1$|}{|$\varepsilon_2$|}|. The effect remains until the end of |tikzpicture| environment unless changed again.
