Memoize is a package for externalization of graphics and memoization of compilation results in general, allowing the author to reuse the results of compilation-intensive code.
Memoize (i) induces very little overhead, as all externalized graphics is produced in a single compilation. It features (ii) automatic recompilation upon the change of code or user-adjustable context, and (iii) automatic externalization of TikZ pictures and Forest trees, easily extensible to other commands and environments. Furthermore, Memoize (iv) supports cross-referencing, TikZ overlays and Beamer, (v) works with all major engines and formats, and (vi) is adaptable to any workflow.
This repository also contains the code of two generic auxiliary packages developed and documented alongside Memoize. Package Advice implements a generic framework for extending the functionality of selected commands and environments, and package CollArgs provides a command which can determine the argument scope of any command whose argument structure conforms to LaTeX3 argument specification.
See INSTALL.md for instructions on how to generate runtime files and compile the documentation.
