Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Graphics not appearing

[teotjunk]

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes,snakes}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\pagestyle{empty}

\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=2]
\node (A) at (0,1) {circle};
\end{tikzpicture}


\end{document}

This is my code but the the node picture is not appearing when I compile it. Only the text circle appears

You have to draw the node literally.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{standalone}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}
  \begin{tikzpicture}
    \node[draw,circle] (A) at (0,1) {circle};
  \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Hi teotjunk,

by the way, as I see your scaling: nodes are not scaled by default. If you would like to scale the node(s) as well, you could add the option transform shape, either to the tikzpicture environment or to the node:

Code: Select all

\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=2,transform shape]

or

Code: Select all

\node[draw,transform shape] (A) at (0,1) {circle};
