I'm using TikX with LaTeX to draw a technical diagram. I'm trying to draw an irregular polygon around a group of named nodes in a tree.

Make TikZ \matrix[matrix of math nodes] use cartesian coordinates?

No matter how hard I try, I can't get it out of my head that (0,0) is the lower left corner and the first coordinate is the horizontal position. Unfortunately TikZ/PGF's wonderful "\matrix (m) [matrix of math nodes]..." automatically assigns names (like m-3-2) whose first coordinate is the vertical position, and puts (1,1) at the upper ...

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? ...

Improving a Tikz Diagram

I have just finished my first diagram in Tikz.

LaTeX: Resize PGF image (but not text)

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.

Incorrect alignment of nodes in subpictures

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...
