How to read tikz/pgf and tcolorbox manuals
You may think of /tikz
, /pgf
and /tcb
as directories, and /tikz/cs
and /pgf/number format
as a subdirectories. You could, for instance, say
\pgfkeys{/pgf/number format/.cd,fixed,fixed zerofill,precision=2}
to switch to /pgf/number format
directory, and then set the fixed
, fixed zerofill
and precision=2
keys (this example is from p. 1049 of pgf manual v3.1.5). Among other things, these directories allow us to avoid running out of name space.
So from
/tikz/current point is local=⟨boolean⟩
you learn that
current point is local
is in the/tikz
directory (and not in/pgf,
say), and- it is a boolean, meaning you should feed it with
true
orfalse
(but not dimensions, say).
