[Tex/LaTex] Contract Bridge diagrams with LaTeX

diagrams

I write bridge diagram with LaTeX. Source file is in PBN format.
Hand is for exampe QT2 98 J962 AKJ6. How this string change to
\pika Q102\srdce 98 \karo J962 \tref AKJ6 ?

To begin \pika, first space \srdce , second space \karo and last space \tref and T is change to 10

Samples of diagram is on page http://new.bridgekosice.sk/bridzove-diagramy-vykrelene-pomocou-tex:

Source code for next diagram wittout parameters is

\begin{tabular}{|lll|}
\hline
Board 1 &amp; \quad\pika Q102 &amp;  \\

Deals: North&amp; \quad\srdce 98 &amp;   \\

Vul: none &amp; \quad\karo J962 &amp;  \\

&amp; \quad\tref AKJ6  &amp;  \\

\pika AJ54       &amp; \multirow{4}{1}{\mstul}     &amp; \pika K76       \\
\srdce 76        &amp;                                    &amp; \srdce AKQ52     \\
\karo A85         &amp;                                    &amp; \karo  Q107     \\

\tref  8432             &amp;  &amp; \tref 95 \\

\multirow{3}{1}{ \begin{tabular}{ccc} &amp; 11 \\ &amp; \,9 \quad\, 14 \\ &amp; 6 \end{tabular}} &amp; \quad\pika 983 &amp;  \\

&amp; \quad\srdce J1043 &amp;  \\

&amp; \quad\karo K43 &amp;  \\

&amp; \quad\tref Q107 &amp;  \\

\hline
\end{tabular}

I can this write with

\bgdiagram{board}{n}{e}{s}{w}{visible}

where parameters is: board – number of board
n,e,s,w – north,east,south,west hand
visible – 1111 all hand are visible, 1010 only north and south hand are visible

Let us assume that you can add `\1` at the beginning of a line. Then

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\def\pika{{$\spadesuit$}}
\def\srdce{{$\heartsuit$}}
\def\karo{{$\diamondsuit$}}
\def\trefl{{$\clubsuit$}}
\catcode`\T=13
\defT{10}
\def\1#1 #2 #3 #4 {\pika #1 \srdce #2 \karo #3 \trefl #4 }


\1QT2 98 J962 AKJ6 

\end{document}

Warning: It changes the meaning of the letter T!

I started doing an example on the basis of your first example picture, but hopefully you can adapt the ideas.

When constructing TikZ figures, I often find the libraries matrix and chains very helpful. And also thinking about the picture one small piece at a time.

So while waiting for our resident TikZ-deity Jake to show up with something much more elegant, I'd like to present my take on the first example picture (Plain-TeX):

\input tikz
\let\up\uparrow \let\down\downarrow % just to shorten a little
\usetikzlibrary{chains,matrix}
\tikzpicture[
  a/.style={on chain,join,draw,rounded corners,minimum size=1.5em,inner sep=1pt},
  r/.style={a,text=red},
  every scope/.style={start chain,node distance=1mm}
  ]
  \matrix[matrix of nodes,column sep=1.5em,row sep=1.5ex] (mx) {
    &\scope[xshift=1em]\coordinate[a](A);
      \node[a,label=below:$\sigma_\rho^*$]{};
      \coordinate[a](C);\endscope\\
    &\scope\coordinate[a](D);
      \node[r,label=below:$\pi_x^*$]{$\up$};
      \node[r,label=below:$\pi_y^*$]{$\up$};
      \coordinate[a](G);\endscope\\
    \scope\node[a]{$\up$}; \node[a]{$\up$}; \node[a]{$\up\,\down$};
      \coordinate[a](H);\endscope&&
      \scope\coordinate[a](I);
        \node[a]{$\up\,\down$}; \node[a]{$\down$}; \node[a]{$\down$};\endscope\\
    &\scope\coordinate[a](J);
      \node[a,label=below:$\pi_x$]{$\up\,\down$};
      \node[a,label=below:$\pi_y$]{$\up\,\down$};
      \coordinate[a](K);\endscope\\
    &\scope[xshift=1em]\coordinate[a](L);
      \node[a,label=below:$\sigma_\rho$]{$\up\,\down$};
      \coordinate[a](N);\endscope\\
  };

  \draw (H)--(A) (H)--(D) (H)--(J) (H)--(L)
        (I)--(C) (I)--(G) (I)--(K) (I)--(N);

\endtikzpicture
\bye

I think you could separate the drawing of the chain to outside of the matrix, and be able to branch things.

[Tex/LaTex] How to create Ishikawa (fishbone) diagrams with LaTeX

TikZ trees would probably be the way to go. However, things get pretty hairy fairly early on (example in Plain w/ XeTeX):

\input tikz
\font\figfont="Myriad Pro" at 8pt
\font\tinyfigfont="Myriad Pro" at 6pt
\usetikzlibrary{trees,shapes.geometric}
\tikzpicture[>=latex,font=\figfont,lbl/.style={draw=black,very thin,fill=#1,ellipse}]
  \coordinate
    child [grow=right] {
      child {
        child [grow=125] {
          child [grow=left] {node {\tinyfigfont Cost of Transport} edge from parent[<-,thin]}
          child {
            child [grow=left] {node {\tinyfigfont Access to premises} edge from parent[<-,thin]}
            child {node [lbl=yellow!20] {Transport}}
            child [missing]
          }
          child [missing] edge from parent[<-,thick]
        }
        child [xshift=1cm] {
          child [grow=125] {
            child [grow=left] {node {\tinyfigfont Security} edge from parent[<-,thin]}
            child {node [lbl=green!20!yellow] {Premises}}
            child [missing] edge from parent[<-,thick]
          }
          child
          child [grow=-125]
        }
        child [grow=-125] {
          child [grow=left] {node {\tinyfigfont Consultation} edge from parent[<-,thin]}
          child {node [lbl=purple!20] {Clients}}
          child [missing] edge from parent[<-,thick]
        }
      }
    };
\endtikzpicture
\bye

This could be improved upon a lot, but hopefully I could give you some idea.
