# Go Diagrams with Only LaTeX

There are 3 main alternatives to doing this:

- [x] [`psgo`](https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/pstricks/contrib/psgo/)

  - On my M2 Mac 2023, things don't seem to compile consistently with the 20+ years old documentation. The stones overlap a bit, and they seem to have somewhat pixelated borders.

- [ ] [`igo`](https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/igo)

  - Apparently, not only is `igo` difficult to install, but also [kind of dangerous to LaTeX itself](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/652011/64441).

- [ ] Goban Package: Creating a new Package with TikZ

  - TikZ also offers a way of making this interactive, so we could achieve the same level of interactivity as [GoBooks](https://gobooks.com/)' EPUBs.

  - Desired Features:

    - [x] Different board sizes (grid and size itself)

    - [x] Drawing Stones

    - [x] Drawing Moves (with numbers)

    - [x] Drawing labels

    - [ ] Partial Boards

    - [x] Parse SGF

    - [ ] Interactive Graphs

    - [ ] How to Export Diagrams as Images

    - [ ] Symbols and Labels that could be used in text as well

> An honorable mention is [GoWrite2](https://gowrite.net/GOWrite2.html), which is what I've used in the past to create the diagrams in [this book translation](https://github.com/FanaroEngineering/traducao_como_jogar_go).

## Development Setup

- I'm not sure, but apparently `psgo` comes with TeX Live (_not true_, so I don't know how I'm able to use `\usepackage{psgo}` directly).

- I'm using the [LaTeX Workshop](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=James-Yu.latex-workshop) VS Code Extension.

  - The files inside the `scripts` folder are tailored for working with it.

- VS Code's PDF viewer is kind of weird. TikZ _does_ create scalar vector graphics, but the images are shown as pixelated, which is something that doesn't happen with the same file when viewed with other PDF viewers.
