tikz.dev / TikZpingus Manual

The TikZpingus package

Getting started

2 Usage

If you just want a penguin, import the package and start with the following:

Compiled output

One small penguin
\begin{tikzpicture}
\pingu
\end{tikzpicture}

There are a lot of configuration-options which can be passed as an optional argument via the known <key>=<value>-style. See Gadget overview at the start for a complete gadget overview.

Compiled output

Happy penguin with cup!
\begin{tikzpicture}
\pingu[left wing wave, right wing grab,
eyes shiny, cup]
\end{tikzpicture}

Please note, that “left” and “right” have been chosen from the penguin-perspective.

\pingu[penguin keys]

The command to draw the penguin! If you want to use \pengu instead, you can use \let\pengu\pingu in your preamble to create an alias.

Besides the keys defined by this package, you can use the keys of TikZ and pgf as well (the duck was generated by the lovely tikzducks package):

Compiled output

The Reunion
\begin{tikzpicture}
\duck
\pingu[xshift=2.7cm, yshift=14mm,
eyes wink]
\end{tikzpicture}
