\ProvidesPackage{tikz-external-hash}[2019/10/01 v0.1.1]

% This style file replaces the \tikz command and the tikzpicture environment
% in such a way that externalization uses hash values of picture contents as
% the cache file names.
%
% Usage:
%   \usepackage{tikz}
%   \usetikzlibrary{external}
%   \usepackage{tikz-external-hash}%  before \tikzexternalize
%   \tikzexternalize
%
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{external}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\usepackage{environ}

% Patch \tikzexternal@tikzpicture@replacement in tikzexternalshared.code.tex.

\NewEnviron{tikz@external@hash@tikzpicture}[1][]{%
  % Here the cache file name is derived from
  % (1) the contents in the picture,
  % (2) the options,
  % (3) \beamer@pgfextension if defined.
