    Summary description: A 2D graphics library to draw TikZ graphics using the Lua programming language

    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Introducing luatikz as a comfort graphics library to work with
    graphic objects as immutables in the Lua programming language.
    It writes code for the TikZ package.
    It overloads operators, so you can use standard math expressions
    to work with graphical objects.

    There probably isn’t anything that couldn’t been done just as well
    with pgfmath and TikZ directly.

    However, if a graphic gets more complicated, for me Lua is just
    easier to work with as base.
