@TheRealMasochist but you can use the prerelease if you feel risky (I don't think it'll be too risky, but if you encounter bugs you could give valuable feedback)
I have a tikzpicture with two nodes `n1` and `n2`. I wan to draw a small circle at `n2.south -| n1.center`. What should I pass to `filldraw` instead of the `(0,0)` here: `\filldraw (0,0) circle (1pt);` ?
@tush Do you get an error with \filldraw (n2.south -| n1.center) circle (1pt) or do I simply misunderstand what you mean by “small circle at” that location?
@TeXnician I didn't know that I can say n2.south -| n1.center as the coordinate. I thought I need to define a new node there and then to draw the circle at this new node. But it seemed too much so I was looking for a simpler way. Thanks very much :)
@tush Why a tikzpicture? You can use a simple tabular. If you really need tikz, you can use a simple tabular inside a node (or you could use two nodes and shift the second appropriately but that's much more error prone because you want to get the baselines right).
@tush Your questions here in chat indicate that somehow you would benefit from reading a bit more in the TikZ manual or maybe even just doing some more trial-and-error. Things are often easier than they are when overthinking them ;)
One can place a node in the following way: \node [left = 10pt of n2.base west,] (node name) {text};. Can I draw a circle at "10pt to the left of node n2.base west"?
@tush \filldraw ([xshift=-10pt]n2.base west) circle (1pt). But really, these questions are basic TikZ knowledge which you can easily find in the manual or by asking the search engine of your choice, so I would encourage you to go the way of learning the tool instead of always asking for the solution ;)
Lots of interest today on Mastodon about the PDF accessibility project. I'm directing people to the LaTeX Project home page and suggesting they join TUG to help the cause.
