[DVIPDFMx] pgf/tikz

[Jin-Hwan Cho]

One of the common template for PGF/TikZ would be as follows:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
...
\end{document}

In this case, three PGF drivers will be loaded automatically:

pdflatex --> pdftex driver
xelatex --> xetex driver
latex --> dvips driver

To use the dvipdfmx driver, the simplest way is to load graphicx.sty with the dvipdfmx option.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[dvipdfmx]{graphicx}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
...
\end{document}

Or, you can load the dvipdfmx driver directly as follows:

\documentclass{article}
\def\pgfsysdriver{pgfsys-dvipdfmx.def}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
...
\end{document}
