The recent 10 examples
I want to thank the people who are so nice to share their work by adding their TikZ examples to this gallery. You, the authors, inspire us and help us learning.
The recent 10 examples are from:
10 new TikZ examples
Yesterday and today I added 10 examples to the gallery. They show how to use TikZ in code listings, creating infographics, diagrams and more. I thank you for the contributions: Valeria Borodin, Uwe Zimmermann, Carsten Burgard, Erwann Fourmond, Pavel Seda, M.H. Ahmadi, Hugues Vermeiren, Leonard König.
You can see the new examples at the first page here, on top: TikZ examples by date.
Twelve diagrams added
Some TikZ friends wondered, why there was again a pretty long time without updates to the TikZ gallery. Well, my new job as a network engineer at an airline required pretty much time, and my two lovely kids keep me busy too. At evenings, I usually find some time for TeX forums, and for maintaining servers, and for writing another book, which will appear soon. It kept me a bit focused and away from here, just daily reading the community feed. Since it's nearly finished, I posted twelve diagrams which are from of the upcoming LaTeX cookbook, which contains over a hundred recipes for doing LaTeX things. The examples are without much explanation, which are in the book, to appear soon.
15 TikZ examples added to the gallery
During the last five days I added fifteen examples to the gallery. Some were sent by email (thank you!), some are from the TeX.SE and TeXwelt.de sites, question and answer sites with creative commons license. I bookmarked nice examples I noticed, and from time to time I’m adding such drawings here, with backlink to the original post. Now the gallery shows 371 drawings.

Online compiling of TikZ gallery examples
Since today there's a new feature in the TikZ example gallery: all TikZ examples are connected to an online compiler, done in a cooperation between TeXample.net and writeLaTeX.com.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, and the best wishes for all!
The fireworks animation in this post was created using TikZ by Harish Kumar, based on code by Chris Hughes and bloodworks.
10 TikZ Examples Added to the Gallery
Today I added 10 more examples to the TikZ example gallery. All examples were provided by fellow TikZ users: 9 sent to me via email and one taken from TeX.SE. Many thanks to the authors: Benjamin Abel, Dominik Haumann, Matthias Hotz, Eric Jensen, Robert Krause, Mathias Magdowski, Hakon Malmedal, Kannappan Sampath, and Andrew Stacey.
pgf/TikZ builds section updated
Today I created a build from the CVS version of pgf/TikZ and added it to the pgf builds section. Also the current manual has been typeset and is available there as well. I will continue updating in the future.
Tux in TeX with TikZ
Today, Marco Daniel proudly showed his Tux cup. I thought, how long would it take to draw the Tux image using TikZ? Download the SVG image, use svg2tikz at the command prompt, got the .tex file.
TeXample.net has a new maintainer
I’m pleased to announce that Stefan Kottwitz has taken over as the main maintainer of TeXample.net.

Triangular numbers
Today, the user N3buchadnezzar asked on TeX.SX, how he could draw images of triangular numbers.
Volunteers wanted for maintaining the TikZ examples gallery
More than three years ago I created the PGF and TikZ examples gallery. Thanks to fantastic contributions from TikZ users from all over the world, the gallery now has more than thousand visits each day. The traffic to TeXample.net is increasing every month and I receive more and more high quality contributions...
PGF CVS documentation now with cross references
Just a quick note to inform you that the TikZ and PGF manual in the latest PGF build has been built with hyper references from codeexamples to key declarations enabled.
