How to draw the cards from a deck using a Latex package, as TikZ? enter image description here

Best Answer

Here is a solution using SVG-Cards, inkscape and PDFLaTEX/graphicx/TikZ.

I provide a Makefile :

to download and to extract the SVG-Cards archive (via wget and tar),
to extract each SVG card from svg-cards.svg (via inkscape)
to convert each SVG card into a PDF card (via inkscape)
to compile cards.tex (via pdflatex)

Steps:

Copy the Makefile (note: the white spaces at beginning of lines are tabulations) and the cards.tex below.
Run make to get cards.pdf

^{Note: if you can't use this Makefile, I provide cards.tgz. This archive contains all extracted PDF cards (needed to compile cards.tex).}

enter image description here

The Makefile:

JOKERS = black_joker red_joker
LEVELS = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 jack queen king
CLUBS = ${LEVELS:%=%_club}
DIAMONDS = ${LEVELS:%=%_diamond}
HEARTS = ${LEVELS:%=%_heart}
SPADES = ${LEVELS:%=%_spade}
CARDS = ${CLUBS} ${DIAMONDS} ${HEARTS} ${SPADES} ${JOKERS}
CARDS_PDF = ${CARDS:%=card-%.pdf}

all: cards.pdf

cards.pdf: cards.tex $(CARDS_PDF)
    latexmk -pdf cards.tex

card-%.pdf: card-%.svg
    inkscape --export-pdf=$@ $<

card-%.svg: SVG-cards-2.0.1/svg-cards.svg
    inkscape --export-plain-svg=$@ --export-id=${@:card-%.svg=%} --export-id-only $<

SVG-cards-2.0.1/svg-cards.svg:
    wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/svg-cards/files/SVG-cards-2.0.1.tar.gz
    tar zxvf SVG-cards-2.0.1.tar.gz

The cards.tex file:

\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \foreach \col[count=\c] in {spade,heart,diamond,club}{
    \begin{scope}[shift={(\c*90:1.5cm)}]
      \foreach \level[count=\val] in {1,...,10,jack,queen,king}{
        \node[inner sep=0,anchor=south,rotate={40-(\val*6)}]
        at ({140-(\val*6)}:1cm)
        {\includegraphics[height=1cm]{card-\level_\col}};
      }    
    \end{scope}
  }
  \node at (-2,0) {\includegraphics[height=1cm]{card-red_joker}};
  \node at (2,0)  {\includegraphics[height=1cm]{card-black_joker}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] How to draw the following attacker picture in protocol using TiKZ

I don't know too much about security protocols but tikzpeople package has been designed by its author Nils Fleischhacker with this intention:

The package was originally written to provide me with shapes of people to depict parties in cryptographic protocols and security definitions on beamer slides.

There's no devil figure, but there exist evil option which can provide funny results:

\documentclass[tikz,border=2mm]{standalone} 
\usetikzlibrary{positioning}
\usepackage{tikzpeople}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[every node/.style={minimum width=1.5cm}]
\node[alice] (alice) {};
\node[bob, right= 4cm of alice, mirrored] (bob) {};
\draw[->, thick] (alice) -- coordinate[near start] (aux) (bob);
\node[priest, evil, mirrored, above right=-5mm and 1cm of alice] (priest) {};
\draw[->,red, ultra thick] (priest)--(aux);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
