I'm trying to draw a horizontal line across my diagram. The Y coordinate of the line should be halfway between points a and b (a is below b). The left and right endpoints of the line are on the bounding box of the tikzpicture. Here's how I'm doing this now, using the intersection operator: \coordinate (h0) at ($(a.north)!0.5!(b.south)$)...
I am trying to build my trees using macros but I don't get the result I want. Here is a minimal example: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{trees} \newcommand{\LeafNode}[1]{% child {node {#1}} } \newcommand{\InnerNode}[3]{% child {node {#3} #1 #2 } } \begin{document} \begin{...
Hi, I'm creating graphs in pgf/tikz. When I use these in my document they are scaled, several are in minipage/subfig like environments. When this happens the font sizes are scaled with the graphics making them very small or unreadable. I've been through the manual but have so far been unsuccessful in my attempts to control this. Is the...
Hi, I am using pgf/tikz graphics and I'm wondering how one can control the scaling of font sizes in the graphics when using them in minipage/subfig environments? Is there a way to manually set a permanent font size for pgf/tikz graphics or in latex in general so as to make font sizing invariant to scaling? Ideally I'd like to be able ...
I've got a latex macro that draws a picture using PGF and Tikz according to given parameters. The width of picture drawn depends on these parameters. PGF automatically calculates the resulting width of any picture drawn so the user does not have to set it explicitly(like for example when using latex build in picture environment). Howe...
I am trying to use \ifthenelse to do a floating point comparison. This is the pgf/tikz code, which works if \y is integer only, but not otherwise: \foreach \y in {3,3.5,...,6} { ifthenelse{\y<3}{ ... }{ ... } } ...
I want to draw an x-y-diagram with axis labels. Unfortunately the ylabel is misplaced. It looks as depending on the actual data. When the other data line in the sample below is used instead of the upper line, it looks better. How can I move the label to the left or (more desirable) how can I tell pgfplot to do it corectly? % !TEX TS-pro...
I can draw a hyperlinked shape in tikz using the following code: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{matrix} \usepackage{hyperref} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \node {% \href{http://www.stackoverflow.com}{% \begin{tikzpicture} \filldraw[blue] circle(1cm) node [white] {Click}; \end{tikzpicture}}}; \end{...
Another question about aligning nodes using matrices in tikz. Consider the following: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{matrix} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \matrix (m)[matrix of nodes, column sep=5mm,row sep=3mm, align=center, nodes={rectangle,draw, text width = 2cm} ]{ & \node{row1-2...
Hello, I am trying to display a sphere in PGF/TikZ to illustrate the idea of great circles. The code for my current result is: \begin{tikzpicture} \tikzfading[name=fade right, left color=transparent!20, right color=transparent!90] \tikzfading[name=fade out, inner color=transparent!100, outer color=transparent!10] \tikzfading[name=fa...
Hi all, I'm new to pgf so i was trying out some examples from the pgfplot manual. One example is especially relevant for my current task but, alas, it would not compile. Here is the code: \documentclass[11pt]{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{pgfplots} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[symbolic x coords={a,...
Hi, I need to align each row of the graph to the center. I am trying to do it with xshift. Here the code: \begin{tikzpicture}[node distance=1.5cm, auto, text centered] \tikzstyle{every node}=[draw,ball]; \begin{scope}[xshift=1.5cm] \node (A) {A}; \node [right of=A] (B) {B}; \node [right of=B] (C) {C};...
I have: \subfigure[blah blah blah.] { \begin{tikzpicture}[/MyStyle] ... some stuff... \end{tikzpicture} } But "some stuff" is not that wide and the text in the subfigure produces a lot of underfull hboxes. I want to make the subfigure wider. How do I do that? ...
I have just finished my first diagram in Tikz. It looks as I wanted it to, but am unhappy with how I have 'coded' it: \begin{tikzpicture} [node distance=14mm, item/.style={rounded corners,rectangle, thick, minimum width=20mm, minimum height=10mm}] \node[item,draw=blue!50,fill=blue!20] (stack) {1394 Stack}; \node[item,left=of sta...
So I see graphical models expressed in plate notation in research papers and online all the time (for example: http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~blei/papers/BleiNgJordan2003.pdf). Is there a quick and easy way to produce these?? I've searched and searched but all I've found are solutions like GraphViz which are really way more powerful than...
Hello, How can I resize a pgf image in LaTeX, but keep the text in the image the same size? I can't use \resizebox because this also resizes the text. I understand that I can use the following in my pgf file: \begin{tikzpicture}[scale=2] However, that scales the image, rather than letting me resize it to a specific width. So this i...
I am using tikz to typeset a diagram in a latex document. I have a grid of 'grid-diagrams', with each grid-diagram drawn as a separate tikz picture and then arranged into the grid as nodes. I want to draw a circle node (which will eventually contain a label) in the bottom-right hand square of each grid-diagram. I use exactly the same...
