Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ scaling a matrix

[odhage]

Hi!
I try to scale a matrix that is to big to fit on the page. I have tried \begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5] but see no difference. Do I need to change font size as well? or is it something else I need to take into consideration?

Hi Mikael,

besides the scale option, we often need to set transform shape.

Perhaps show your example code?

Thanks Stefan for speedy response!
Here is the code:

(I have
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{matrix}
in the preamble)

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.5]
  \matrix (m) [ matrix of nodes, row sep = 1em, column sep = 0em,
				nodes={minimum width = 7em, outer sep = 0em}] {
		 & 		&		 &  		   &		&	& medkännande\\
		 & 		&		 &  		   &		&erkännande& \\
		 & 		&		 &  		   &kommunikation&	& \\
		 & 		&		 & tolerans   &		&	& \\
		 & 		&acceptans &  		   &		&	& \\
		 & insikt&		 &  		   &		&	& \\
Villighet & 		&		 &  		   &		&	& \\
  };
  \draw 
		(m-7-1.south west) -- (m-7-1.south east)
	 -- (m-6-2.south west) -- (m-6-2.south east)
	 -- (m-5-3.south west) -- (m-5-3.south east)
	 -- (m-4-4.south west) -- (m-4-4.south east)
	 -- (m-3-5.south west) -- (m-3-5.south east)
	 -- (m-2-6.south west) -- (m-2-6.south east)
	 -- (m-1-7.south west) -- (m-1-7.south east)
  ;
\end{tikzpicture}
