TeX - LaTeX Asked on March 20, 2021
While drawing a curve in tikz
, the smooth
option in draw
command makes the output much desired, smooth, and nice to eyes. I want to know how does it do that. To get the same output without the smooth
option, one must increase the number of intermediate nodes, resulting in much higher compilation time. For example, the following MWE
documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw [smooth, samples=10, domain=-1:1] plot (x,{x*x*x});
draw [samples=1000, domain=-1:1] plot (x,{x*x*x-0.1});
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
produces almost same figures. One needs to really zoom in and nitpick to find the difference. I wonder how does smooth
complete this job without taking more compilation time.
