\\ et node

[Alain Matthes-2]

Hi

\\ does not work in a node but

with

\begin{tikzpicture}[every text node part/.style={%
  text centered, text width=2cm}]
   \node[rectangle split, rectangle split parts=1] {a \\ b};
\end{tikzpicture}

If I remove  text width=2cm \\ does not work again
Why ?

Best Regards

Alain Matthes

Hi,
Because, when text width is set the node content is put in a minipage  
where \\ works whereas normal node ignore them... Morality to build  
several lines nodes: (1) use text width or (2) use tabular or minipage  
structure within the node.

Thanks

You are right and I don't read enough the manual
  (16.4.3 Text Parameters: Alignment and Width for Multi-Line Text)

  but I'm not sure if it's a minipage

I read this in the pgfmanual (cvs version) :

"something akin to a {minipage} of this width, only portable
across formats"



  it's possible to use \\ without "text width" but with "align"

2. You use \\ inside your node to mark the end of lines and then
  request TikZ to arrange these lines in some manner. This will only
  be done, however, if the align option has been given.

\tikz[align=left] \node[draw] {This is a\\demonstration.};

Sorry for the noise

Best Regards

Alain
