TikZ References

For the most part, I used a lot of the same references as I used in my ecosocial theory tikz project, but there are a couple more that are unique to this:

• 3D diagrams https://tikz.dev/library-3d
• Matrices https://tikz.dev/tikz-matrices
• Database table style formatting for tables https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/134821/drawing-database-tables-in-tikz
• Marginal histograms https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/193059/scatterplot-with-marginal-histograms-using-pgfplots
