Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Writing on Graphs

[S_David]

Hello,

I am using the pgf package to draw with Latex. I have the following piece of code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,openany,oneside]{memoir}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\begin{tikzpicture}[thick, inner sep=3mm]
\node (relay) at ( 0,4) [circle,draw,label=above:R] {}; 
\node (destination) at (2,2) [circle,draw,label=right:D] {};
\node (source) at (-2,2) [circle,draw, label=left:S] {}; 
\draw [->] (source) to (relay); 
\draw [->] (source) to (destination);
\draw [->] (relay) to (destination);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{center}
\end{document}

I want to write above the lines, and I want in some cases to make the lines thicker to indicate something. How can I do those?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

use nodes for labeling and the thick or the very thick option for draw like

Code: Select all

\draw [very thick, ->] (source) -- node[above, sloped] {label} (relay);

Hello,

I have a little problem, when I integrate this segment of code within the document, the figure didn't appear, when converting the dvi output to pdf, and the page where the figure should appear is a blank page (there is a text shold appear below the figure, the doesn't). Why?

Regards

There should be some warnings or error messages in the log file. Check this. Add the \listfiles command as very first line to your code and start a new run. Search the log file for the section between *File List* and *********** and post this list here.

Is this what you want?

the figure didn't appear, when converting the dvi output to pdf, and the page where the figure should appear is a blank page

I think that's the point - it could happen with dvipdfmx or the like. Instead of converting directly from dvi to pdf convert to ps first (dvips) and then to pdf (pstopdf), or use pdfLaTeX if possible.

Yes, right, it is working now.
