% This file provides a high-level automatic export feature for tikz pictures.
% It allows to export EACH SINGLE FIGURE into a separate PDF.
%
% The simplest way is to use the 'convert with system call' option; it simply converts every figure using the write18 method. If that is not possible, a list of figure file names is generated and you need to generate these figures manually (or with a script).
%
%
% It replaces \tikzpicture/ \endtikzpicture and \tikz and invokes \beginpgfgraphicnamed ... \endpgfgraphicnamed
% commands if necessary.

% handle with extreme care and only in small, local groups:

% If mode=`convert with system call', the boolean \ifpgfexternalreadmainaux
% will be set depending on the current lock file.
%
% The idea is as follows: Suppose
% pdflatex -shell-escape mainjob.tex
% is running.
%
% While it runs,
% a) it modifies its mainjob.aux file,
% b) it issues pdflatex -jobname mainjob-figure0 mainjob.tex .
%
% The call (b) will try to read mainjob.aux in order to resolve \ref
% commands. This may fail since the aux
% file is not complete; it may be subject to output buffering. To
% avoid such failure, a locking mechanism is established.
%
% The locking mechanisms causes (a) to write a lock command into
% mainjob.auxlock
% just before (b) is called. Then, (b) will check it. After (b) has
% completed, the lock will be reset.
%
% Thus: mode=convert with system call does NOT support \ref commands
% inside of images. You will need to call the externalization command
% manually. In this case, it should work.
%
% The lock file allows to detect automatically whether an image is created by
% 'convert with system call' or if the user issued the required command manually.
%
% @PRECONDITION : this command must be invoked AFTER
% \tikzexternal@realjob has been defined but BEFORE \pgfrealjobname is
% called.
