Directly using Tikz
=====================

Directly use Tikz functionality, without pgfplots.

    rect = pykz.rectangle((-1, -1), (1, 1))

Alternatively, output it to png

.. code-block:: python

  pykz.io.export_png_from_file("circles_and_squares.tex")

Or, save the Tikz code to a temporary file, compile it, and open the pdf in the default viewer.
This would be the equivalent to ``plt.show()``

.. code-block:: python

  pykz.preview()
