Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Tikz chain labels for nodes with includegraphics

[megaflop]

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to draw a network diagram using tikz and Cisco symbols.
I have the cisco symbols in the folder

Code: Select all

figs/Cisco/3015_eps/

When I use the following code:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{chains}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning}
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\begin{tikzpicture}
[start chain=going right,diagram item/.style={on chain,join}]
\node[diagram item,label=Internet](Internet){\includegraphics[width=6pc]{figs/Cisco/3015_eps/cloud}};
\node[diagram item,label=Backbone](Backbone){\includegraphics[width=6pc]{figs/Cisco/3015_eps/netranger}};
\node[diagram item,label=BRAS](BRAS){\includegraphics[width=6pc]{figs/Cisco/3015_eps/router}};
\node[continue chain=going right,diagram item,label=AAA](AAA){\includegraphics[width=5pc]{figs/Cisco/3015_eps/pad}};
\node[continue chain=going below,diagram item,label=left:Switch](Switch){\includegraphics[width=6pc]{figs/Cisco/3015_eps/workgroup_switch}};
\node[diagram item,label=left:DSLAM](DSLAM){\includegraphics[width=4.5pc]{figs/Cisco/3015_eps/dslam}};
\node[diagram item,label=left:Filtre](Filtre){\includegraphics[width=1.5pc]{figs/Cisco/3015_eps/pad}};
\node[start branch=1 going right,diagram item,label=right:phone](Phone){\includegraphics[width=6pc]{figs/Cisco/3015_eps/phone}};
\node [diagram item,label=below:PC](PC){\includegraphics[width=6pc]{figs/Cisco/3015_eps/pc}};
\end{tikzpicture}

I attached the result to this post.
What I want to do is to put the switch (and everything that's beneath it) under the BRAS not under the AAA I can't figure out how to do it.
And of course the labels are misplaced I don't understand why.
Can someone help please ? :)

I forgot to mention that the Cisco icons could be found here http://www.cisco.com/web/about/ac50/ac47/2.html. Not that it really matters.

Hi,

welcome to the board!

What I want to do is to put the switch (and everything that's beneath it) under the BRAS not under the AAA

I guess you need to make a branch before AAA instead of going below after AAA.

And of course the labels are misplaced I don't understand why.

Not when I compile your code. I got:

Some images are missing, perhaps an issue with the eps pictures, but that's not the question here. The labels look better than in your output, even if I did not change the code. Perhaps update your TikZ package if it's not a current version.

If there's still a problem, I suggest that you should post a minimal working example, i.e. a compilable short version. Your remaining packages and settings are unknown. And it would be better if you would add simple things such as class, \begin{document}, \end{document} etc. if you would like readers to test your code. Otherwise every reader has to fix and to complete the code again - not everybody does it. Also I postponed an answer until I had some time to deal with incomplete code.
