Doc suggestion: no ImageMagick on ElCapitan and Sierra #15

Closed rebcabin closed 7 years ago

rebcabin commented 7 years ago

Suggest you might note in your README.md that ImageMagick does not work (by their own admission) on the two latest releases of the Mac OS, meaning that parts of tikzmagic that depend on ImageMagick will not work on those OSs. Might save some people some time.

EDIT

I just discovered that 

%%tikz -f svg --size 300,400
\draw (0,0) rectangle (1,1);

works on El Capitan, so if you use pdf2svg through the -f option, then you can have tikzmagic on ElCapitan. I don't see a way to access the one-liner magic, as in 

%tikz \draw (0,0) rectangle (1,1);

I have no issues running tikzmagic with Homebrew installed imagemagick in Sierra.

I have ImageMagick installed under El Capitan via MacPorts and it works splendidly well.
