How do you make these flowers in LaTex
For context**:** I know for a fact these flowers are procedurally generated purely in TikZ with no external assets. I know about l systems but this is way too elaborate. The creator prefers to keep the source closed to avoid code critiques(in spite of my supplications) so I'm stuck having to reverseengineer how to achieve this level of flower quality ?

[Update] Happily announce that the full version of my LaTeX tutorial is now finished and released!
As a follow-up to this post, I am writing to happily share the news that the full version of my LaTeX tutorial is now complete and ready (open-access) on my GitHub repo (link below). Compared to the beta version, the major update is about Chapter 10, which contains:
- Inserting Banner Picture on Chapter Page
- Making Stylish Quotation Boxes
- Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Language Support
- Usage of BibTeX for References
- Enhanced Texture for Colored Boxes
in addition to some fixes, a written answer key, and a full index page. This book will still be maintained, and any suggestions are welcome. Again, I am thankful for the support from you guys! Hope you will find it useful and give it a like.

Clifford Strange Attractor: 10 Million Points, 1 hr Runtime, Rendered in LaTeX
A Clifford attractor plotted by iterating two equations across 10 million steps:
x(n+1) = sin(a·y) + c·cos(a·x)
y(n+1) = sin(b·x) + d·cos(b·y)Each point's position is determined entirely by the previous one and four parameters (a, b, c, d). No randomness — the structure emerges purely from the mathematics.
Rendered in LaTeX using LuaLaTeX with a \directlua block to handle the iteration in native Lua floats. Each coordinate is passed back to TikZ and plotted at low opacity — colour intensity reflects visit frequency via log-scale density mapping.
Took about an hour to compile on a M4 Pro Max with 48Gb ram. Output is a native vector PDF, converted to PNG via ImageMagick at 600dpi.

I built a visual LaTeX editor because I hated writing raw LaTeX during my PhD
After years of wrestling with LaTeX syntax during my PhD, I started building Lyra Editor - basically Google Docs but for LaTeX. You edit visually, it compiles to proper LaTeX/PDF behind the scenes. I tried to make it as much WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) as possible.
I've been using it myself for a few months now and it's finally at a point where I think others might find it useful, even though it’s still an early version. Looking for early feedback from anyone who's interested in giving it a try. This is the link: www.lyraeditor.com .
Would love to hear what you think - especially if you've dealt with LaTeX pain before.

Sharing the Beta Version of my LaTeX Tutorial!
Hello everyone! I am writing to share with you guys: the beta version of my LaTeX tutorial on how to write a book with LaTeX (which is my second book)! The PDF is open-access on my GitHub repo below. Please feel free to write down suggestions or ideas for further improvements! The future plan is to add a guide on how to prepare a LaTeX environment and miscellaneous topics like Asian character support.

LaTeX Showcase This is probably the nerdiest thing I own
I prefer to have a physical reference of most things instead of bookmarking links and scrolling up and down pdfs. I have loved having these around, keeping bookmarks of syntax I use often. I have learned a lot reading through I would have never thought to look up on my own.
In my book collection, these probably win the contest for highest ratio of how much I care vs. how much other people care lol

LaTeX Showcase my latex work collection.
Hi! This is my first post here. These are some of my latex notes, which i made during my 12th and drop year. I just made them for fun. I'll share the source code of these if people are interested.
Some interesting stuffs:
Setup: VS Code, MikTex if on windows, if on Arch, just install the texlive distribution ig. I used snippets to exponentially speed up my typesetting speed. Here's the guide i followed
Parenthesis: I have an interesting snippet in my preamble (got somewhere from stack long ago, i forgot 😭) that automatically sizes the parenthesis based on the height of the content inside it, (i don't have to use \left and \right every time).
Used a python script to automate the length of the bars for the graphs.
Update: Here's the repo link: https://github.com/blxkex/Latex-Notes-Templates

Continue from my previous post: Typing my poorly handwritten course notes into LaTeX : r/LaTeX
I decide to do Algebra notes first. Since it doesn't involve heavy calculations and most just about writing proof. (ODE notes have many integration steps to write)

Self-Promotion Made an iPad Notes App that Compiles to LaTeX
Hello everyone, I am a college student (math major), I built a notes app that can compile your handwriting to LaTeX, chat about your notes, and show visual animations in space (the animation feature is quite beta since my library needs work).
Basically I just greatly prefer writing homework and notes by hand because of speed and also it's easier to map out your ideas quickly and find solutions faster in my opinion. But I also graded a class and I greatly appreciated those who typed their homework. That's why I started this project.
If anyone wants to give the app a try, you get a week free without starting an official free trial or anything upon downloading the app, and then you can get the subscription which also has a 1 week trial built into it. I apologize that you have to pay $6.99/mo after the initial 2 weeks, and really wish I could make it free, but unfortunately the AI calls cost me money and I have to cover that.
Anyways, the app is called iwrote and is available on iPads only for now (with apple pencil), and I would greatly appreciate any honest feedback!
