funtikz-pgf
In the spirit of the festive season and How can we draw a Christmas tree with decorations, using TikZ?, I would like to use TikZ for drawing a Hannukah Menorah. There are many different styles of Menorah including
and
amongst others. Of course only the most greedy person would also ask for the number of candles to be an option within the TikZ code and it would be plain lunacy for one to expect the flames to actually flicker.
Update. Here is another colourful example.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Christmas tree with balls, candles and snowflakes
Now pic is very useful. An update was necessary
