Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ tikZ | Padding for Text inside the Node

[usr345]

How can I make a left padding for a text without making the node wider? I tried inner xsep, but the node becomes wider.

[usr345]

I tried the recipes, given in this thread:

http://www.latex-community.org/forum/vi ... ?f=5&t=547

This code worked, giving the left indent for the whole text:

Code: Select all

\newenvironment{myindentpar}[1]%
 {\begin{list}{}%
         {\setlength{\leftmargin}{#1}}%
         \item[]%
 }
 {\end{list}}

But it also gave the top indent, that I don't need. I tried to remove it, using:

Code: Select all

{\setlength{\topsep}{0pt}}%
{\setlength{\partopsep}{0pt}}%
{\setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}}%
{\setlength{\parsep}{0pt}}%
{\setlength{\labelsep}{0pt}}%

But it didn't work.

How can I set the top margin to 0 for a list inside a tikz node?

Also this approach:

Code: Select all

  \hangindent2em
  \hangafter=0
  \blindtext

  \medskip
  \blindtext

didn't work inside tikz picture node.

Hi,
regarding TikZ, have you checked out the “inner sep” and maybe the “outer sep” attributes for nodes? Try to set the seps to zero…

Code: Select all

\node[inner sep=0cm]...

…and tell us if there is still space above the list.

By the way, when I use lists inside of diagrams, I always use the “compact”-versions from the paralist package. Its much more accurate for the use in graphics.

We solved the problem here:

Code: Select all

\node[draw]  (p0)  {\hspace{1 cm}\parbox{2cm}{C ccccccccc cccccccccc cccccc ccccccccc cc ccccc ccccc}};
