We know the use of [draft] in graphicx package
\usepackage[draft]{graphicx}
Do we have any option like [draft] in tikz? Sothat we need not compile the tikz picture for every run and need not look at the picture…Is it possible to have something like this?
\usepackage[draft]{tikz}
or do i have any other method to do it?
Best Answer
You can use
\tikzexternalize
which is intended to speed up compile times. It converts eachtikzpicture
into a separate external graphic which is then imported with\includegraphics
. And in[draft]
mode graphics that are included from external sources do not get displayed.Here is an example of enabling
\tikzexternalize
when in[draft]
mode. With\documentclass[draft]{article}
the MWE produces:References:
