Vector Art vs. Raster Art

TikZ is used for producing vector graphics. This makes it easy to
import Tikz output from many vector graphics editors and vector
based diagramming software.

The makings of Jeff

To create our beloved pillar of AIMS in LATEX, a tool called

Svg2tikz was used.
Svg2tikz can be used in three ways:
1

As an Inkscape extension for exporting SVG paths as

TikZ/PGF paths.
