ParaTikZ

A stupid simple python script to compile standalone TikZ figures in parallel.

This is designed for large LaTeX projects where many TikZ figures are compiled independently and benefit from parallel execution.

Features

• Parallel compilation of standalone TikZ figures
• Preserves directory structure between source and output
• Recompiles only modified figures
• Simple implementation, no external Python dependencies

Requirements

• Python>=3.8
• lualatex, tested with TexLive

Execution

    python compileTikzParallel.py figs/src figs/out -j 8
