Questions tagged [picture-mode]
{picture} is an environment to create simple pictures containing lines, arrows, boxes, circles, and text. Note that while this environment is not obsolete, new documents typically use much more powerful graphics creation systems, such as {tikz-pgf}, {pstricks}, {metapost}, or {asymptote}.
