Comment dessiner en style 8-bits ?#

Vous en avez marre de toutes ces courbes de Bézier, et vous voulez retrouver le bon vieux style graphique de votre GameBoy ?

1.  Avec PixelArt#

Le package PixelArt est fait pour vous. Sa commande \pixelart prend une matrice en paramètre, et affiche une image bitmap à gros pixels.

Exemple compilable et éditable
%!TEX engine=lualatex
\documentclass{article}
  \usepackage{pixelart}
  \pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
I \pixelart[
    colors={
      1=red,
      2={red!50!black},
      3={pink},
      4={pink!50!red},
    },
    tikz={
      scale=.05,
      baseline=.3em,
    }

Compilation... . . .

Ce paquet utilise TikZ, et sa documentation décrit les options et propose de nombreux exemples.

Note

Ce paquet n’est compatible qu’avec (ni latex, ni xelatex, ni pdflatex). Celles et ceux qui ne peuvent pas ou ne veulent pas utiliser lualatex peuvent dessiner en style 8 bits avec pxpic (voir section suivante).

2.  Package pxpic#

Le package pxpic s’inspire de PixelArt et propose de faire des dessins en pixels de toutes les couleurs.

Sa documentation est richement illustrée.

Sources

Style 8 bits

3.  Package PixelArtTikz#

Enfin, le package pixelarttikz permet également de faire des dessins en pixels, en prenant en entrée un fichier au format CSV, pour afficher les dessins complétés (comme les paquets précédents), ou pour imprimer et compléter les dessins sur papier.
