circuitikz vs. tikzpicture: generating multipage standalone documents for animations
This is a problem I found a while ago, and haven't been able to figure out. Maybe is something wrong with my distribution, but don't know exactly how to fix it. Here is the idea
Consider this script
documentclass[border = 5pt, tikz]{standalone}
usepackage{circuitikz}
begin{document}
foreach k in {1,...,10}
{
begin{tikzpicture}
draw (0, 0) rectangle (2, 2);
fill[red] (k/5, 1) circle (0.1);
end{tikzpicture}
}
end{document}
When I run it, it produces 10 pages which then I can use to produce a gif
If on the other hand I change the enviroment to circuitikz
documentclass[border = 5pt, tikz]{standalone}
usepackage{circuitikz}
begin{document}
foreach k in {1,...,10}
{
begin{circuitikz}
draw (0, 0) rectangle (2, 2);
fill[red] (k/5, 1) circle (0.1);
end{circuitikz}
}
end{document}
I get one single page with all frames on it
and then transforming this to a gif has proven a bit difficult to do.
Any ideas as to why this is happening? Thanks!

I guess you need to tell standalone that you have a new standalone environment. So just addstandaloneenv{circuitikz}afterusepackage{circuitikz}.
