Write a figure
The preamble of the latex file must contain:
\usepackage{tikz}
Some optional libraries could be add like this:
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
To start a figure, the code must be inside the tikzpicture environment like this:
\begin{tikzpicture} ... TikZ code here... \end{tikzpicture}

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary[topaths]
% A counter, since TikZ is not clever enough (yet) to handle
% arbitrary angle systems.
\newcount\mycount

%the multiplication with floats is not possible. Thus I split the loop
%in two.
