How to reference a node in TikZ or PGF?
In PGF and in TikZ it is quite easy to define a node that you wish to reference at a later point. Once you have defined a node, there are different ways of referencing points of the node. 8.5.1 Named Anchor Coordinates
How is an anchor coordinate defined in TikZ?
In PGF and in TikZ it is quite easy to define a node that you wish to reference at a later point. Once you have defined a node, there are different ways of referencing points of the node. An anchor coordinate is a point in a node that you have previously defined using the node operation.
Is there a way to set the font size for all TikZ figures?
Unfortunately I used ex as a measure and the template I have to use redefines the font size. THis leads to wrong distances in the figures. is there a way to set the font size for all tikz figures in a document, so I do not have to adjust my figures?
How to change the coordinates of the XYZ coordinate system?
By default, the x-vector points 1cm to the right, the y-vector points 1cm upwards, but this can be changed arbitrarily using the xand ygraphic options. Similarly, you can specify coordinates in the xyz-coordinate system.
What is the syntax for specifying coordinates in TikZ?
A coordinate is a position in a picture. TikZ uses a special syntax for specifying coordinates. Coordinates are always put in round brackets. The general syntax is ([ ] ). It is possible to give options that apply only to a single coordinate, although this makes sense for transformation options only.
Which is the default unit of measure in TikZ?
The syntax used to specify this path is very similar to that used by MetaPost [2]. Unlike MetaPost, TikZ uses one centimeter as the default unit of measure, so the four points used in this example lie on the x and y axes, one centimeter from the origin.
How to add and subtract coordinates in PGF?
This means “add twice the current PGF x-vector and subtract three times the y-vector.” By default, the x-vector points 1cm to the right, the y-vector points 1cm upwards, but this can be changed arbitrarily using the xand ygraphic options. Similarly, you can specify coordinates in the xyz-coordinate system.
Where is the y coordinate of a tikzpicture?
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: This strikes me as rather roundabout.
How to specify coordinates in PGF XY coordinate system?
You can specify coordinates in PGF’s xy-coordinate system. In this case, you provide two unit-free numbers, separated by a comma as in (2,-3). This means “add twice the current PGF x-vector and subtract three times the y-vector.”
