Distance between nodes

[Stefan Mayer-2]

Hi,

why is the distance of the last node different from the nodes before?
I thought the node distance=5em should control the distance?

Regards,
Stefan

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[
standard/.style={fill=blue!25,rounded corners,text width=10em,node
distance=5em}
]
\node[standard] (1) {Literaturrecherche, Einbetten der Arbeit in
theoretischen Kontext};

\node[standard] (2) [below of=1] {Ableitung von Forschungsfragen und
Hypothesen};

\node[standard] (3) [below of=2] {Methoden: Versuchsplanung,
Operationalisierung, Mess- \& Testtherorie};

\node[standard] (4) [below of=3] {Auswertung: Datenanalyse,
Signifikanzprüfung};

\node[standard] (5) [below of=4] {Transparenz der Interpretation};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

The correct syntax to achieve what you want is:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[
  standard/.style={fill=blue!25,rounded corners,text width=10em, node
distance=2em}
]
\node[standard] (1) {Literaturrecherche, Einbetten der Arbeit in
theoretischen Kontext};

\node[standard] (2) [below=of 1] {Ableitung von Forschungsfragen und
Hypothesen};

\node[standard] (3) [below=of 2] {Methoden: Versuchsplanung,
Operationalisierung, Mess- \& Testtherorie};

\node[standard] (4) [below=of 3] {Auswertung: Datenanalyse,
Signifikanzprüfung};

\node[standard] (5) [below=of 4] {Transparenz der Interpretation};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

This syntax (ie: below=of <node>) is described in section 3.8 (p. 41)
of pgfmanual. However, at this section, it is mentioned that
replacements library should be used, which is an error. The library to
use is positioning.

Thank you very much! Now, it’s all clear …
