{\LaTeX\ and graphics} {Aleksandra Hankus and Zofia Walczak} {There are an number of distinct ways of producing graphics each with advantages and disadvantages in terms of flexibility, device independence and ability to include arbitrary \TeX\ text. We will present a short history of creating graphics starting with the \textit{picture} environment provided by L. Lamport with the \LaTeX\,2.09 format. We will show examples of diagrams, charts, chemical formulas, musical notation and more complicated three-dimensional graphics. We also show how complex graphics can be produced with \TikZ.}
