Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Angled arrows with tikz-qtree?

[JasonM]

Would anyone know how to get \abarnodeconnect (or something equivalent) to work with tikz-qtree? The classic example I'm looking to imitate is:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{tree-dvips}
\usepackage{qtree}
\begin{document}

\Tree [.S [.NP \node{subj}{subj$_i$} ]
[.VP [.V verb ] [.NP \node{t}{t$_i$} ]]]
\abarnodeconnect[-6pt]{t}{subj}

\end{document}

Of course, this won't work with XeLatex, and I'm looking for a way to get the 'angled arrows' in the tree diagram using tikz-qtree.

Set the tree inside a tikzpicture. Then you can use the normal tikz syntax to draw the arrow:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows}
\usepackage{tikz-qtree}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\Tree [.S [.NP [.\node(subj){subj$_i$}; ] ]
          [.VP [.V verb ] [.NP [.\node(t){t$_i$}; ] ] ] ]
\draw[-latex](t.south)--+(0,-6pt)-|(subj);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Note the additional code changes inside the \Tree command.
