Experimental use of Tikz on MacOS Sierra

Hello everyone, my problem is that when I use the tikz package in Windows and GNU/Linux they works well. However, when I want to use it on a MacOS Sierra, or use a similar package one (circuitikz, listings, etc.) it does not recognize the drawings, but in the other operating systems it works correctly. This is the error. If I compile it directly with PDFLaTeX, it works normally. Thank you.

Writing "\centering \begin{tikzpicture}
            \draw(0,0)--(3,3);
            \draw(0,0)--(1,4);
            \end{tikzpicture}" to /Users/raulvazquez/Documents/Daniel/manim_3b1b/manim-master/manimlib/files/Tex/219303c0b522abfb.tex

On Arch Linux:

TikzMobject is the same that TextMobject but the stroke is 5.

The reason the manim version looks like a triangle instead of a pair of lines has to do with the default configuration of how SVG objects are drawn. Use set_fill to set the opacity of the line to zero and make sure you have a non-zero stroke_width and a stroke_color set. I think this will give you the manim output you want.

@quark67 try this:

class TikZ2(Scene):
    CONFIG = {
        "stroke_width" : 0.5,
        "stroke_color" : YELLOW
        }
    def construct(self):
        tikzcode = TexMobject("\\text{hello}",
            "\\tikz\\draw[red] (0,0) -- (1,2) -- (2,1);",
            "\\text{world}")
        tikzcode[1].set_fill(opacity=0)
        tikzcode[1].set_stroke(None,2)
        tikzcode[1].set_color(RED)
        self.add(tikzcode)

We can’t set the color by TeX commands, so, we have to set the color with commands of manim. I like more this code:

class TikZ3(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        tikzcode = TextMobject(r"""hello,
            \begin{tikzpicture}
            "\draw (0,0) -- (1,2) -- (2,1);
            \end{tikzpicture},
            world""")
        tikzcode[6:-6].set_fill(None,0) \
                      .set_stroke(None,2) \
                      .set_color(RED)
        self.add(tikzcode)

Result:
