Grid overlay yields arithmetic error












2














The line draw[help lines,xstep=.1,ystep=.1] (0,0) grid (1,1);, which is of course taken from Drawing on an image with TikZ, nowadays generates an error. I must admit I have not kept up with LaTeX, specifically TikZ, that much. Why does this not work?

          I think you used the code that puts a grid on top of an image at the origin, but your image is not at the origin, so I added shift={(ENVimage.south west)} and there is no issue.

            And the genius I am, I made the background gray as well, so one could-should use draw[red,help lines,xstep=0.1,ystep=0.1] (0,0) grid (1,1); to make the grid lines distinguishable. :) Thanks!

          I think you used the code that puts a grid on top of an image at the origin, but your image is not at the origin, so I added shift={(ENVimage.south west)} and there is no issue.

            And the genius I am, I made the background gray as well, so one could-should use draw[red,help lines,xstep=0.1,ystep=0.1] (0,0) grid (1,1); to make the grid lines distinguishable. :) Thanks!

            And the genius I am, I made the background gray as well, so one could-should use draw[red,help lines,xstep=0.1,ystep=0.1] (0,0) grid (1,1); to make the grid lines distinguishable. :) Thanks!
