Description

Latex package to create pulse sequence diagrams in magnetic resonance imaging.

Installation

Project by project

Just copy the file mrseqdia.sty next to the tex file you want to compile.

Add mrseqdia to your global latex installation

Find out your latex distributions folder for custom packages
```
kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFHOME
```
under this folder, copy mrseqdia.sty to […]/tex/latex/mrseqdia/mrseqdia.sty

Usage

% FID acquisition
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \init;
  \startline{1}{RF};
  \pulse{1}{1}{$\alpha$};
  \xline{0.5};
  \acq{3}{0.5}{Acquire};
  \xline{1};
\end{tikzpicture}

Examples

test_mrseqdia.tex

Contributing

Things I plan to do:

write documentation
add more examples
implement new sequence elements
rewrite commands to pass options to tikz elements
include functionality for configuration model

This repository is a translation of GitHub - dangom/mr-sequence-diagrams: Draw MR Sequence Diagrams for LaTeX / M… from metapost to TikZ/LaTeX. The initial metapost repository was originally created by Mark J White for his PhD Thesis. A snapshot is available in the Internet Archive here. Two of the macros — the ones for the trapez gradient wave forms — were written by T. A. Wilkinson and can be found in his blog here.
