Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ radius of coloured circle with text inside

[paulosousa]

Hello,

I am trying this code

Code: Select all

\tikz \node[circle,radius=0.5cm,color=white, fill=blue]{text}; 

to get a blue circle wit text inside.
But the option radius is not working... Could anyone please help me?

A radius option doesn't work for a node. It works with a normal circle shape:

Code: Select all

\begin{tikzpicture}
  \draw[fill=blue] (0,0) circle [radius=0.5cm];
  \node[color=white] {text};
\end{tikzpicture}

If you would really like to use a node, you can set inner sep to 0 and a minimum size, such as

Code: Select all

\begin{tikzpicture}
  \node[circle, inner sep=0pt, minimum size=1cm, color=white, fill=blue]{text}; 
\end{tikzpicture}

Thanks a lot Stefan

Yesterday I tried

Code: Select all

\tikz \node[circle,scale=0.75,color=white, fill=blue]{text};

and worked fine!
