Graphics are too big to view?

Post by topsquark »

I'm modifying a code (a periodic table) to do some exercises. I found the original at tikz.net. The code works fine, my changes work fine (so far as I know) but the original and my codes have the same problem: they don't fit on a page! (I'm using LyX. Should I be using some other editor, perhaps?)

The original code was meant to be viewed. Can anyone tell me how?

Thanks!

Graphics are too big to view?

Hi Dan,

you could scale the picture using TikZ keys, such as here:

Code: Select all

\begin{tikzpicture}[font=\sffamily, node distance=2.2cm, scale=0.6, transform shape]
Or, as you use LyX, perhaps it's more convenient to compile it separately with pdfLaTeX and the standalone class and include that PDF in the LyX document using \includegraphics.

Hmmm... I'll have to look up "transform shape." That's a new tag for me.

Okay, that works. (Sort of.) When I rescale the whole tikzpicture the scaling in the "Element" routine tikzpicture aren't rescaled to match, so I have to rescale them individually. But I can mess around with that on my own.

Thanks for the help!
