I want a full-page periodic table - in height and width! (Because I want to add external graphics as an overlay to the cells. That means a simple/artificial enlargement using scalebox or something similar is not useful.) As a test, I tried: cell width=40pt, cell height=50pt, but it ruins the layout (icons and text overlap or shift). What do I have to do? \documentclass[]{article} \usepackage[ showframe=true, a4paper, landscape, margin=10mm, ]{geometry} \usepackage{pgf-PeriodicTable} \begin{document} \noindent\pgfPT[ cell width=40pt,% example from manual, p. 22 cell height=50pt,% example from manual, p. 22 name font=\normalfont, show title=false, show legend=false, ] \end{document}

Before of this question, I would like to thank the authors of the answers and everyone who appreciated my question. I had previously created these two figures related to two triple integrals. Is there a better way to improve their presentation and make them clearer and more visually appealing?

I have a pie chart representing a distribution of hours, and I'm using the option sum=auto to display the chat by these values. But I'd like to add the unit of the values inside the plot. If I type 12~h/Maths it raises error because LaTeX tries to compute the percentages. How could I achieve it ? \documentclass{article} \usepackage{pgf-pie} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \pie[sum = auto]{ 12/Maths, 9/Physique-Chimie, 2/Informatique, 2/TIPE, 2/Français } \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

I am working on a layout where I draw a grid in two different contexts: Inside tcolorbox environments (using an overlay) In the page margin using \AddToShipoutPicture Here is a minimal example: \documentclass[11pt,a4paper,svgnames]{book} \RequirePackage[top=2cm, bottom=2cm, left=3.9cm, right=1cm]{geometry} \usepackage[most]{tcolorbox} \newcommand{\myoverlay}{ \begin{tcbclipinterior}%[remember picture,overlay] \draw[%shift=(current page.north west), step=0.524cm,white!70!gray,very thin] (interior.north west) grid (interior.south east); \end{tcbclipinterior} } \newtcolorbox{Box4}[1][ bicolor, colback=white!05,grow to left by=2.5cm,colbacklower=black, boxrule=0.5pt,overlay=\myoverlay]{#1} \newtcolorbox{Box4bis}[1][ bicolor,colback=white,colbacklower=black, grow to left by=0cm,grow to right by=0cm, boxrule=0pt, overlay=\myoverlay] {#1} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage[]{eso-pic} \begin{document} \AddToShipoutPicture{% \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[shift=(current page.north west),step=5.24mm, lightgray, very thin, opacity=0.5] ([xshift=0cm,yshift=0cm]current page.south west) grid ([xshift=3.7cm,yshift=0cm]current page.north west); \draw[black, very thick, opacity=0.3] ([xshift=3.7cm]current page.south west) -- ([xshift=3.7cm]current page.north west); \end{tikzpicture}% } \begin{Box4bis} \lipsum[1] \end{Box4bis} \begin{Box4} \lipsum[2] \end{Box4} \lipsum[3] \begin{Box4} \lipsum[4] \end{Box4} \begin{Box4bis} \lipsum[5] \end{Box4bis} \end{document} The code gives this: Goal I would like the grids drawn: inside the tcolorbox environments in the page margin (via shipout) to be perfectly aligned, so that the grid appears continuous across the whole page. What I have tried Using current page coordinates inside the tcolorbox overlay Adding remember picture, overlay and current page.north page and retrieve absolute positions (see tikz: How can I find the value of `current page.north west`?) Trying to manually shift grids to match visually (impossible) However, I could not find a reliable way to make both grids share the same reference system.

I have to solve this triple integral ∭ x y|z|³/(1+ (x²+y²)⁴)  dx  dy dz, with a domain T={(x, y, z) ∈ ℝ³: x ≤ 0, y ≥ 0, z² ≤ x²+y² ≤ 1}. Plotting with DESMOS 3D I see this: Actually I am not able to visualise this domain in my mind. It should be a cylinder enclosed by a double-sloped cone, but I can’t quite get the x ≤ 0, y ≥ 0 parameters right. I’ve created something but I would like my drawing (or a new one) to be intuitive with TikZ3D so that I can correctly draw this integral. My MWE: \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{tikz-3dplot} \tdplotsetmaincoords{60}{130} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[tdplot_main_coords, scale=3] % assi \draw[->] (0,0,0) -- (1.3,0,0) node[right]{$x$}; \draw[->] (0,0,0) -- (0,1.3,0) node[left]{$y$}; \draw[->] (0,0,0) -- (0,0,1.3) node[above]{$z$}; \foreach \t in {0,1,...,359}{ \pgfmathsetmacro{\ct}{cos(\t)} \pgfmathsetmacro{\st}{sin(\t)} \draw[blue!60, opacity=0.75] (0,0,0) -- plot[domain=0:1, samples=40] ({\x*\ct},{\x*\st},{\x}); \draw[red!60, opacity=0.75] (0,0,0) -- plot[domain=0:1, samples=40] ({\x*\ct},{\x*\st},{-\x}); } \draw[thick] plot[domain=0:360, samples=200] ({cos(\x)},{sin(\x)},1); \draw[thick] plot[domain=0:360, samples=200] ({cos(\x)},{sin(\x)},-1); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

The annotate-equations library looks nice. I wanted to use the library to annotate matrix row and column labels, but it didn't work out. Below is a minimal standalone example where the first tikzpicture is simply the matrix with row and column labels. The second tikzpicture is my attempt to add annotations: \documentclass[tikz,border=6pt]{standalone} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{annotate-equations} \usetikzlibrary{calc} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \node[ anchor=center, inner sep=0pt, outer sep=0pt ] (nodematrix) at (0,0) {% {\scriptsize \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{0.88}% $\left[ \begin{array}{@{}c|ccc@{}} & \mathbf{X} & \mathbf{Y} & \mathbf{Z} \\ \mathbf{A} & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ \mathbf{B} & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ \mathbf{C} & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ \mathbf{D} & 0 & 1 & 1 \\ \mathbf{E} & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ \mathbf{F} & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array} \right]$}% }; \end{tikzpicture} \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture] \node[ anchor=center, inner sep=0pt, outer sep=0pt ] (nodematrix) at (0,0) {% {\scriptsize \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{0.88}% $\left[ \begin{array}{@{}c|ccc@{}} & \tikzmarknode{md-colX}{\mathbf{X}} & \tikzmarknode{md-colY}{\mathbf{Y}} & \tikzmarknode{md-colZ}{\mathbf{Z}} \\ \tikzmarknode{md-rowA}{\mathbf{A}} & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ \tikzmarknode{md-rowB}{\mathbf{B}} & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ \tikzmarknode{md-rowC}{\mathbf{C}} & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ \tikzmarknode{md-rowD}{\mathbf{D}} & 0 & 1 & 1 \\ \tikzmarknode{md-rowE}{\mathbf{E}} & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ \tikzmarknode{md-rowF}{\mathbf{F}} & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array} \right]$}% }; \end{tikzpicture} \annotate[ xshift=-2.8em, yshift=-4.5ex ]{below}{md-rowF}{data nodes $V$} \annotate[ xshift=1.2em, yshift=1.0em ]{above}{md-colX,md-colY,md-colZ}{metadata nodes $U$} \end{document} Here is the compile pdf output: The original matrix: The annotated matrix (where I see two additional empty patches, and no annotation showed up): I cannot figure out what happened here.

I'm trying to draw a 3D panel, within each panel there are dashed panel frame, some circles, lines connecting the circles, text, and maybe other objects. I tried to draw all these within a scope, then apply a projection so that all of these drawings can be 3D-rotated, but this trick only works on the panel frame, not properly on the other objects, see the screenshot: And here is the standalone tex code: \documentclass[tikz,border=6pt]{standalone} \usepackage{xcolor} \usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta,calc} % Example colors \definecolor{Accent}{RGB}{60,90,150} \definecolor{PersistCol}{RGB}{70,130,90} \definecolor{ReactCol}{RGB}{180,110,60} \definecolor{NewCol}{RGB}{180,70,80} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[ font=\small, >=Latex, side layer projection/.style={x={(0.46cm,0.25cm)}, y={(0cm,0.75cm)}}, frame/.style={ draw=black!78, dashed, line width=.72pt, dash pattern=on 5pt off 4pt, line cap=round }, v/.style={ circle, draw=gray!55, fill=gray!22, minimum size=4pt, inner sep=0pt }, pe/.style={draw=PersistCol, line width=1.0pt}, re/.style={draw=ReactCol, line width=1.0pt}, ne/.style={draw=NewCol, line width=1.0pt} ] \def\P{1.10} \newcommand{\PlaneFrame}{% \draw[frame] (-\P,-\P)--(\P,-\P)--(\P,\P)--(-\P,\P)--cycle; } \newcommand{\PlaneLabel}[1]{% \path (-.86,-\P)--(.86,-\P) node[midway, below=2pt, sloped, transform shape, font=\scriptsize] {#1}; } \newcommand{\PoolNodes}{% \node[v] (a) at (-.75,.55) {}; \node[v] (b) at (-.10,.88) {}; \node[v] (c) at (.68,.42) {}; \node[v] (d) at (-.70,-.55) {}; \node[v] (e) at (.65,-.55) {}; } % One projected layer only \begin{scope}[side layer projection] \PlaneFrame \PlaneLabel{selected \(E_t^\star\)} \PoolNodes \draw[pe] (a)--(b); \draw[re] (d)--(e); \draw[ne] (c)--(e); \end{scope} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} What I did wrong here?

This only solve the issue in text and circles, not the edges (straight lines):

I have a weird problem with arrow heads at the end of plots, where they look wrong, as you can see in the picture (look below left; the line seems to exceed the arrow tip). Removing colour or changing thickness did not solve the problem. Interestingly, making the arrow longer does fix the issue, but is not a plausible fix. Also increasing the scale seems to hide the issue, but I would not like to do that, as diagrams would get too big. This issue does not appear with the longer parabola or the blue line which I drew normally. Here is an MWE. \documentclass[10pt]{book} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta} % Tikz libraries \tikzset{>={Stealth}} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.4] \draw[->, thick, red, domain=-1:3.5, variable=\t, smooth, samples=75] plot ({\t,2-0.5*\t*\t}); \draw[<-, thick, red, domain=-2:-0.5, variable=\t, smooth, samples=75] plot (2*\t,\t-1); \draw[draw=red, fill=white] (-1,-1.5) circle (4pt); \draw[thick, blue,<->] (0,-3) -- (1,-2); \draw[red, fill] (-1,1.5) circle (4pt); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Any idea what is going wrong? And how to fix it? Zoomed in picture on the issue:

What I tried to replicate is something as below: Noted that the double-dotted is aligned as the red line denoted, and the "rotated box" is NOT what I want(just because the image I get rotated itself), I just want something the same as \dashbox or \doublebox, the normal horizonal box. The post here, I think, just want to focus the dots alignment. Now I have the following code: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[most]{tcolorbox} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage{dashbox} \usepackage{fancybox} % https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/101263/322482 \makeatletter \tikzset{ dot diameter/.store in=\dot@diameter, dot diameter=3pt, dot spacing/.store in=\dot@spacing, dot spacing=10pt, dots/.style={ line width=\dot@diameter, line cap=round, dash pattern=on 0pt off \dot@spacing }, } \tcbset{ doubledotted/.style={ empty, sharp corners, frame engine=path, frame empty, frame code={ \draw[dots](frame.south west) rectangle (frame.north east); \draw[dots]([xshift=-\dot@spacing,yshift=-\dot@spacing]frame.south west) rectangle ([xshift=\dot@spacing,yshift=\dot@spacing]frame.north east); }, } } \makeatother \begin{document} AAA \qquad\tcbox[doubledotted,nobeforeafter,box align=center]{This is a tcolorbox.}\qquad BBB \vspace{1cm} \begin{tcolorbox}[doubledotted] \lipsum[2] \end{tcolorbox} \bigskip \fbox{This is a framebox.} \dashbox{This is a dashed framebox.} \doublebox{This is a doublebox.} \end{document} which gives: The disturbing point is that the dotted in a \path is hard to control the alignment precisely.

I recently noticed a bug, where the TikZ backgrounds library ignores any other options applied within the same scope definition. As you can see in the MWE below, I have a scope on the background layer with the additional options blue and ultra thick, which are ignored. \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{backgrounds} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[red, ultra thick] (0,0) -- (2,0); \begin{scope}[on background layer,blue,ultra thick] \draw (1,-1) -- (1,1); \end{scope} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Using nested scopes or defining the options directly in the path definition gives the desired result. \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{backgrounds} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[red, ultra thick] (0,0) -- (2,0); \begin{scope}[on background layer] \begin{scope}[blue,ultra thick] \draw (1,-1) -- (1,1); \end{scope} \end{scope} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Is this a bug? It isn't mentioned in the manual. I couldn't find a git repo to report an issue, so I hope this is the right place to ask.

I have two rectangular TikZ nodes placed one below the other: B1 is above B2. I would like to create a third rectangular node B3, shifted to the right in the x-direction, such that: the top of B3 is aligned with B1.north the bottom of B3 is aligned with B2.south I am not sure what is the best TikZ way to do this cleanly. Here is a minimal example of the situation: \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{calc} \begin{document} \tikzstyle{block} = [draw, fill=white, rectangle, inner xsep=0pt, align=center, font=\small]% \begin{tikzpicture} \node [block, text width=3em] (B1) {Block 1}; \node [block, anchor=north, text width=3em] (B2) at ([yshift=-5em]B1.south) {Block 2}; \node [block, anchor=west] (B3) at ([xshift=5em]$(B1.east)!0.5!(B2.east)$) {Block 3}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} I tried using minimum height with coordinate differences, but I could not make it work properly. What is the recommended approach?

Muzimuzhi has extended the dim feature in tkz-euclide here: However, not all the segments are long enough to label distance "inside", in some case, I need the following "invert"-dim feature: \documentclass[border=5pt]{standalone} \usepackage{tkz-euclide} \usepackage{fourier} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \tkzDefPoints{0/0/O,3/0/A,1/1/A2,.5/2/C2} \tkzDefRectangle(A2,C2)\tkzGetPoints{B2}{D2} \tkzDrawPolygon[thick,black,fill=yellow!50](A2,B2,C2,D2) \tkzLabelSegment[below](A2,B2){$t$} \draw[thick](A2) --+(0,-.5cm) ++(0,-.25cm) coordinate(tmpA) (B2) --+(0,-.5cm) ++(0,-.25cm) coordinate(tmpB); \draw[thick,latex-] (tmpB) -- +(-.4cm,0); \draw[thick,latex-] (tmpA) -- +(.4cm,0); %%%%%%%%%%%%%% \tkzDrawSegment[thick,dim style/.append style={red,dash pattern={on 2pt off 2pt}},dim={$a$,-.5cm,inner xsep=3pt}](O,A) %%%%%%%%%%%%%% \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} I have not quite familiar with pgf macros, I wonder whether that is possible to learn from muzimuzhi's code to support the "invert"-dim feature, to label these kind of segments distance from the two-side inwards more elegantly?

How come when filling in TikZ, there is a visible gap between adjacent fills? \documentclass[tikz,border=1cm]{standalone} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \fill (0,0) -- (1,1) -- (1,0) -- cycle; \fill (0,0) -- (1,1) -- (0,1) -- cycle; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

I don't know how to draw it, is there any method?

I am using the TikZit application to construct a diagram containing nodes that "contain" or "consist of" only text (formatted with color, etc.) and that are connected by various edges. When inputing the text as the label argument, the connecting edge encroaches into the middle of the text, like this: Here is the source code generated by TikZit: \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{pgfonlayer}{nodelayer} \node [style=none] (0) at (-2.5, 7) {Hello world!}; \node [style=green dot] (1) at (1.75, 5) {}; \node [style=red dot] (2) at (2.25, -0.75) {}; \node [style=none] (3) at (-3, -2) {}; \end{pgfonlayer} \begin{pgfonlayer}{edgelayer} \draw (0.center) to (1); \draw [in=30, out=45, looseness=2.25] (1) to (2); \draw (3.center) to (2); \end{pgfonlayer} \end{tikzpicture} I was able to use the label={POSITION:TEXT} option to modify the default behavior \node [style=none, label={above=Hello \textcolor{blue}{World!}}] (0) at (-2.5, 7) {}; which renders which is what I am wanting. The problem is that I do not want to manually input the position parameter for each node and I do not know how to set up a node style that will automatically position the edge connection relative to the text node without having to specify the position in each case. To put it in question form: Is there a way to set up a node style that will automatically position the connecting edge on the "outside" of the node relative to the text like the second image above? Any help is appreciated.

I would like to make a double entry table in LaTeX. Here is the result that I would like to get: I found a clue here: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{multirow} \begin{document} \begin{center} \begin{tabular}{ c || l | r | c } & \multicolumn{3}{c}{Columns} \\ \hline \hline \multirow{3}{*}{Rows} & A1 & B1 & C1 \\ \cline{2-4} & A222 & B22 & C2 \\ \cline{2-4} & A3 & B333 & C33 \end{tabular} \end{center} \end{document} I managed to get a partial solution: \begin{document} \begin{center} \begin{tabular}{ l || r | c } A1 & B1 & C1 \\ \hline \hline A222 & B22 & C2 \\ \hline A3 & B333 & C33 \end{tabular} \end{center} \end{document} However, it doesn't solve all my problems. Is it possible to get square cells with everything centered in the cell? I found other partial solutions here but I don't know tikz at all. The matrix environment might not suit my needs because I would like to avoid outer borders and I didn't find any solution with double lines separing row's titles from the inner cells.

How can I draw bottom arrows from cell to cell at the borders of a table?

My intent is to to have them at the top of the upper arch in the first diagram (rather than in the middle of the first quarter).

It says "No shape named 1-7" I like to have overbrace over every 3 columns (so from 1 to 3, 3-6 and 6-9) with a letter on it I would really appreciate it if someone could help me 🙂 And this is the code: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{matrix,decorations.pathreplacing, calc, positioning} \begin{document} \begin{eqnarray*} \begin{tikzpicture} [baseline=-\the\dimexpr\fontdimen22\textfont2\relax ] \matrix (m)[matrix of math nodes,left delimiter={[},right delimiter={]},,nodes in empty cells] { d^{(1)}_1\\ d^{(1)}_2\\ d^{(1)}_3\\ d^{(1)}_4\\ d^{(1)}_5\\ d^{(1)}_6\\ % d^{(2)}_1\\ d^{(2)}_2\\ d^{(2)}_3\\ d^{(2)}_4\\ d^{(2)}_5\\ d^{(2)}_6\\ }; \draw[dashed] ($0.5*(m-6-1.south west)+0.5*(m-7-1.north west)$) -- ($0.5*(m-6-1.south east)+0.5*(m-7-1.north east)$); \node[left=12pt of m-2-1] (left-1) {i}; \node[left=12pt of m-5-1] (left-2) {k}; \node[left=12pt of m-8-1] (left-3) {i}; \node[left=12pt of m-11-1](left-4) {k}; \node[rectangle,left delimiter=\{] (del-left-1) at ($0.5*(left-1.east) +0.5*(left-2.east)$) {\tikz{\path (left-1.north east) rectangle (left-2.south west);}}; \node[left=12pt] at (del-left-1.west) {$E_1$}; \node[rectangle,left delimiter=\{] (del-left-3) at ($0.5*(left-3.east) +0.5*(left-4.east)$) {\tikz{\path (left-3.north east) rectangle (left-4.south west);}}; \node[left=12pt] at (del-left-3.west) {$E_1$}; \end{tikzpicture} = \begin{tikzpicture} [baseline=-\the\dimexpr\fontdimen22\textfont2\relax ] \matrix (n)[matrix of math nodes,left delimiter={[},right delimiter={]},column sep=0.5cm,nodes in empty cells]{ 1 & & & & & & & & \\ &1 & & & & & & & \\ & &1 & & & & & & \\ & & &1 & & & & & \\ & & & &1 & & & & \\ & & & & &1 & & & \\ & & &1 & & & & & \\ & & & &1 & & & & \\ & & & & &1 & & & \\ & & & & & &1 & & \\ & & & & & & &1 & \\ & & & & & & & &1 \\ }; \draw[dashed] ($0.5*(m-6-1.south west)+0.5*(m-7-1.north west)$) --($0.5*(m-6-9.south east)+0.5*(m-7-9.north east)$); \node[above=of n-1-1] (top-1) {$u_1$}; \node[above=of n-1-2] (top-2) {$w_1$}; \node[above=of n-1-3] (top-3) {$\phi_1$}; \node[above=12pt of n-1-4] (top-4) {$u_2$}; \node[above=12pt of n-1-5] (top-5) {$w_2$}; \node[above=12pt of n-1-6] (top-6) {$\phi_2$}; \node[above=10pt of m-1-7] (top-7) {$u_3$}; \node[above=10pt of m-1-8] (top-8) {$w_3$}; \node[above=10pt of m-1-9] (top-9) {$\phi_3$}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{eqnarray*} \end{document}

I know this is very similar to plenty of questions. The matrix below s actually bigger, so I realized that I had to use tikz. In this array, A, A',…,L', T are square matrices, and I filled with zeros the right half, although the original matrix doesn't have these trivial entries, so I cannot remove them (don't try to fix the entries in the right side, because the spacing is ok when I introduce their actual values) Is there a less ugly way to write this block matrix? I'm sure there is a better way to display this tensor product in the non-zero block below, because, as it is displayed, it is not readable. I mean, it seems that \otimes T is multiplying only the matrix L! \documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{arrows,chains,matrix,positioning,scopes} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[node distance=-1ex] \matrix (mymatrix) [matrix of math nodes,left delimiter={(},right delimiter={)}] { 0 & 0 & A& A' & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0&0 &\!\!\!\!\! \\ 0 & 0 & B' & B\,\, & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 &0&\!\!\!\!\!\\ C & C' & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 &0&\!\!\!\!\!\\ D' & D & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 &0&\!\!\!\!\!\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & K & K' & & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 &0&\!\!\!\!\!\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & L' & L & \!\!\!\otimes T & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 &0&\!\!\!\!\!\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & M & M' & 0 &0 & & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0&0&\!\!\!\!\!\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & N' & N & 0 & 0 & & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0&0&\!\!\!\!\!\\ }; \draw[blue,dashed] (mymatrix-4-1.south west) -- (mymatrix-4-4.south east); \draw[blue,dashed] (mymatrix-1-4.north east) -- (mymatrix-4-4.south east); \draw[red,dashed] (mymatrix-4-4.south east) -- (mymatrix-4-10.south west); \draw[red,dashed] (mymatrix-5-4.north east) -- (mymatrix-8-4.south east); \draw[red,dashed] (mymatrix-4-10.south west) -- (mymatrix-8-10.south west); \draw[red,dashed] (mymatrix-8-4.south east) -- (mymatrix-8-10.south west); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

How can I auto-generate a Penrose tiling by TikZ? Here's my code for Mathematica: GG = (Sqrt[5]+1)/2; standardthin = {1/2+Sqrt[GG^2-(1/2)^2] I , 0, 1}; standardthick = {GG/2+Sqrt[1-(GG/2)^2] I, 0, GG}; sectthin[n_, t_] := If[n > 0, Join[sectthin[n-2, {t[[2]], t[[3]], (GG*t[[3]]+t[[1]])/(GG+1)}], sectthick[n-1, {(GG*t[[3]]+t[[1]])/(GG+1), t[[1]], t[[2]]}]], {thin @@ N[t]}]; sectthick[n_, t_] := If[n > 0, Join[sectthick[n-2, {(GG*t[[2]]+t[[3]])/(GoldenRatio+1),t[[1]],t[[2]]}], sectthin[n-1, {t[[3]], (GG*t[[2]]+t[[3]])/(GG+1), t[[1]]}]], {thick @@ N[t]}]; addtothick[n_, t_, d_] := If[d == 0, {}, Join[{frame @@ t}, If[EvenQ[d], Join[addtothick[n+2, {t[[2]], t[[3]], ((GG+1)*t[[1]]-GG*t[[3]])},d/2], sectthin[n+1, {((GG+1)*t[[1]]-GG*t[[3]]), t[[1]], t[[2]]}]], Join[addtothin[n+1, {t[[2]], t[[3]], ((GG+1)*t[[1]]-t[[2]])/GG}, (d-1)/2], sectthin[n-1, {t[[3]], ((GG+1)*t[[1]]-t[[2]])/GG, t[[1]]}]]]]]; addtothin[n_, t_, d_] := If[d == 0, {}, Join[{frame @@ t}, If[EvenQ[d], Join[addtothin[n+2, {((GG+1)*t[[3]]-GG*t[[2]]), t[[1]], t[[2]]}, d/2], sectthick[n+1, {t[[3]], ((GG+1)*t[[3]]-GG*t[[2]]), t[[1]]}]], Join[addtothick[n+1, {t[[3]], ((GG+1)*t[[2]]-t[[1]])/GG, t[[1]]}, (d -1)/2], sectthick[n-1, {t[[2]], t[[3]], ((GG+1)*t[[2]]-t[[1]])/GG}]]]]]; triangle[a_, b_, c_] := Graphics[Line[{Re[#], Im[#]} & /@ {a, b, c, a}]]; thin := triangle; thick := triangle; frame[a_, b_, c_] := Graphics[{Thickness[0.005], Line[{Re[#], Im[#]} & /@ {a, b, c, a}]}] Show[addtothin[0, standardthin, 200], AspectRatio -> Automatic] which creates something like this:
