A descriptive diagram

Post by mathGirl »

Hi, I am learning how to draw with LaTeX. I would like to use the diagram in the link: http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/s ... scription/ but I need to change the size of font and the rectangles itself as the 1st one need to be bigger to contain more text. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Welcome to the forum!

In the smartdiagram manual you can find options for setting the font, and for example also setting for the distance between the rectangles, such as:

Code: Select all

\smartdiagramset{
  descriptive items y sep = 10em,
  description font = \large,
}
However, those ready-made easy-to-use diagrams are not very flexible. You can use them as they are with some options, but not change them much in their structure.

If necessary, use pure TikZ. We can help you with details.
