Dear all,

I have:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{standalone}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{tikz,tikz-3dplot}
\begin{document}

{\Large{$C=$}}

\begin{tikzpicture}
		[cube/.style={very thick,black},
			grid/.style={very thin,gray},
			axis/.style={->,blue,thick}]


			
	%draw the axes
	\draw[axis] (2,2,2) -- (6,2,2) node[anchor=west]{$y$};
	\draw[axis] (2,2,2) -- (2,6,2) node[anchor=west]{$z$};
	\draw[axis] (2,2,2) -- (2,2,4.5) node[anchor=west]{$x$};

	%draw the front of the cube
	\draw[cube] (0,0,4) -- (0,4,4) -- (4,4,4) -- (4,0,4) -- cycle;
	
	%draw the edges of the cube
	\draw[cube] (0,0,0) -- (0,0,4);
	\draw[cube] (0,4,0) -- (0,4,4);
	\draw[cube] (4,0,0) -- (4,0,4);
	\draw[cube] (4,4,0) -- (4,4,4);
	\draw[cube] (0,0,0) -- (0,4,0);
	\draw[cube] (4,4,0) -- (4,0,0);
	\draw[cube] (0,4,0) -- (4,4,0);
	\draw[cube] (0,0,0) -- (4,0,0);
	
\end{tikzpicture}

Figure 1

\end{document}

I want the " C = " to be directly to the left of the cube and "Figure 1" directly to the right. Any ideas?

Thanks

I want the " C = " to be directly to the left of the cube and "Figure 1" directly to the right.

What do you mean by this? the “ C = ” is to left of the cube and “Figure 1” is to the right of it, aren't they? Can you elaborate a bit?

Regards

What do "C=" and "Figure 1" actually represent here? Can you put that into an appropriate context? Is this "C" perhaps the label of a (sub-)figure in a set of figures that are described in the joint caption with the label "Figure 1"?

Right. I mean I want the C directly next to the cube, instead of above and to left of it.

C represents the cube. And "figure 1" is just representing the picture itself.

It's for an abstract algebra class and my professor is very specific about how he wants things to look...

You could have put those labels using node command. Or am I understanding the problem differently? Here is my attempt where I have used the \node to put those two labels.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{standalone}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{tikz,tikz-3dplot}
\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
                [cube/.style={very thick,black},
                        grid/.style={very thin,gray},
                        axis/.style={->,blue,thick}]
                       
        %draw the axes
        \draw[axis] (2,2,2) -- (6,2,2) node[anchor=west]{$y$};
        \draw[axis] (2,2,2) -- (2,6,2) node[anchor=west]{$z$};
        \draw[axis] (2,2,2) -- (2,2,4.5) node[anchor=west]{$x$};

        %draw the front of the cube
        \draw[cube] (0,0,4) -- (0,4,4) -- (4,4,4) -- (4,0,4) -- cycle;
       
        %draw the edges of the cube
        \draw[cube] (0,0,0) -- (0,0,4);
        \draw[cube] (0,4,0) -- (0,4,4);
        \draw[cube] (4,0,0) -- (4,0,4);
        \draw[cube] (4,4,0) -- (4,4,4);
        \draw[cube] (0,0,0) -- (0,4,0);
        \draw[cube] (4,4,0) -- (4,0,0);
        \draw[cube] (0,4,0) -- (4,4,0);
        \draw[cube] (0,0,0) -- (4,0,0);

        \node at (-1.5,1.5,2) {\Large $C=$} ;
        \node at (6.5,1.5,2) {\Large Figure~1} ;
       
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

Is it what you wanted?

Ya that's it thanks!
