Preview too wide

[Michael Kubovy]

Dear Friends,

Below is the code for a figure I am producing. My problem is that it  
is not cropped enough horizontally. Is there a remedy? (It would help  
me if you could cc my email when replying to the list.)

Thanks,
MK

Hey Michael.
I've struggled with stuff like that, and as I have said before on this  
list, sometimes some "%" do wonders.

In general I also use "\centering" instead of "\begin" and  
"\end{center}"

In your case I just removed line 21 and 77 (or 76 after removing  
21 :)) which make the centering and get a nicely cropped version of  
your impressive chart.

have a nice weekend

This is not a problem of pgf/tikz. If you put your tikzpicture into a \fbox, you'll see that the box is tight.

It is then a problem of the preview package. I'm not familiar with this package, but apparently, removing the preview environment solves the problem. It is not required, since you already declared tikzpicture as an enviroment to be "previewed".

Saludos,

Dear Friends,

Thanks to JL Diaz, David Habenthür, and Aren Röhrs (off list) for solving the problem: the environment preview is indeed the culprit.I just need to tell LaTeX to use the package.
