Can I resize a TikZ picture to have certain dimensions (width, height)?












1














Suppose that I have made aTikZ picture using thestandaloneclass, is there an easy way to determine some fixed output dimension of this picture, saywidth=16cm, height=12cm`? This could be useful in the case I want to export this picture to a presentation, which only accepts PNG, hence when I need to convert the vector image to a raster image.



Example code of one of my TikZ pictures:



documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
usepackage{tikz-network}
usepackage{tikz}


begin{document}


begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.9]

Vertex[x=0,y=1,label=textbf{Genesis},shape=rectangle,size=3,color=blue!80!black,Math,fontsize=large]{G1}

Vertex[x=6,y=1,label=textbf{Block 1},size=3,shape=rectangle,color=orange,Math,fontsize=large]{b1}
Text[x=0,y=0.5]{Index:0}
Text[x=0,y=0]{Hash:a0}
Vertex[x=12,y=1,label=textbf{Block 2},size=3,shape=rectangle,color=orange,Math,fontsize=large]{b2}
Text[x=6,y=0.5]{Index:1}
Text[x=6,y=0]{Hash:eaKvl}
Vertex[x=18,y=1,label=textbf{Block 3},size=3,shape=rectangle,color=orange,Math,fontsize=large]{b3}

Text[x=12,y=0.5]{Index:2}
Text[x=12,y=0]{Hash:yezgLg1}

Text[x=18,y=0.5]{Index:3}
Text[x=18,y=0]{Hash:adLc2eZ}
Edge[Direct=True,color=black,lw=2,bend=0](G1)(b1)
Edge[Direct=True,color=black,lw=2,bend=0](b1)(b2)
Edge[Direct=True,color=black,lw=2,bend=0](b2)(b3)

end{tikzpicture}

end{document}

    After you had created the foo picture using standalone you can insert the pdf output using includegraphics[width=4cm]{foo.pdf} in your main file.

  • You can also use resizebox (documentation in graphicx package, already loaded).

  • Welcome to TeX.SE! All you need to do is to add transform shape to the options of the tikzpicture to make the transformations "active".
