Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ tikZ - Scale doesn't work

[ahmedlasheen]

in the following code can anybody tell me why the scaling is not working ? i tried it several time but it doesnot work.

Code: Select all

\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay,scale=0.5]
  \node[xshift=6cm,yshift=3cm] at (current page.center) {%
  
\begin{tikzpicture}
{
    \node [block] (graphical) {Graphical Summary Measure};
    \node [cloud, below of=graphical]      (stem)                {stem and leaf display};
    \node [cloud, below of=stem]           (boxplots)            {boxplots};
    \node [cloud, below of=boxplots]       (schematics)          {schematics plots};
    \node [cloud, below of=schematics]     (histogram)           {Histograme};
    \node [cloud, below of=histogram]      (kernel)              {Kernal Density Smoothing};
    \node [cloud, below of=kernel]         (Cumulative)          {Cumulative Frequency Distrbution};
    % Draw arrows
    \draw [->] (graphical) to (stem);
    \draw [->] (stem) to  (boxplots);
    \draw [->] (boxplots) to  (schematics);
    \draw [->] (schematics) to (histogram) ;
    \draw [->] (histogram) to (kernel) ;
    \draw [->] (kernel) to (Cumulative);
}
\end{tikzpicture}

   };
 \end{tikzpicture}

Please always provide a full but minimal example that clearly reproduces the undesired behaviour. Unfortunately you are not very specific about the problem due to the lack of such an example. So there are only assumptions.

I guess you will need the »transform shape« option as described in Section 15.7 (Transformations, p. 161) of the pgf/tikZ 2.00 manual.


Best regards and welcome to the board

thansk the scale works know after adding the transform shape .
here is the minimal example

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
%Graphics Library
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{a4paper,textwidth=17cm,textheight=27cm} 
\usetikzlibrary{shapes,arrows}


\begin{document}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Define block styles
\tikzstyle{block} = [rectangle, draw, fill=blue!20,node distance=4cm,text width=3cm, text centered, rounded corners, minimum height=4em]
\tikzstyle{cloud} = [draw, ellipse,fill=red!20, node distance=3cm,text width=4cm,text centered, minimum height=2em]
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\newpage
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay,transform shape,scale=0.5]
  \node[xshift=6cm,yshift=1cm] at (current page.center) {%
  
\begin{tikzpicture}
{
    \node [block] (graphical) {Graphical Summary Measure};
    \node [cloud, below of=graphical]      (stem)                {stem and leaf display};
    \node [cloud, below of=stem]           (boxplots)            {boxplots};
    \node [cloud, below of=boxplots]       (schematics)          {schematics plots};
    \node [cloud, below of=schematics]     (histogram)           {Histograme};
    \node [cloud, below of=histogram]      (kernel)              {Kernal Density Smoothing};
    \node [cloud, below of=kernel]         (Cumulative)          {Cumulative Frequency Distrbution};
    % Draw arrows
    \draw [->] (graphical) to (stem);
    \draw [->] (stem) to  (boxplots);
    \draw [->] (boxplots) to  (schematics);
    \draw [->] (schematics) to (histogram) ;
    \draw [->] (histogram) to (kernel) ;
    \draw [->] (kernel) to (Cumulative);
}
\end{tikzpicture}
