Problem with line spacing of text in rectangles

Dear List,
I'm a pgf/tikz newbie and searching the list archive and the tikz/pgf manuel did not answer my following issue regarding the line spacing of text embedded into tikz pictures. I do however apologize in advance if I overlooked something obvious. I want to put some single-line spaced text into a box. However, when I do this: \begin{tikzpicture}[scale = 1.0, pos=.5] \draw (0,0) rectangle node[text width = 3.5cm, text ragged] {\scriptsize Some sample text some sample text some sample text} (3.5,0.5); \end{tikzpicture} the text appears to be typeset double-spaced, i.e. with a full blank line between the two lines of text. Therefore, the text is out of the bounds of the box. It would however fit into the box if it wasn't typeset with double line spacing, as the following code illustrates: \draw (0,0) rectangle node[above = -3pt, text ragged] {\scriptsize Some sample text some sam-} node[below = -3pt, text ragged] {\scriptsize ple text some sample text}(3.5,0.5); However, this is a no-go as the text is centered and I have to do line breaks and hyphenation manually. Is there a simpler way to achieve what I want in the way of the first example? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Not entirely sure of the overall effect you are after, but in general, font size commands should be passed to nodes using the font key, as this allows the text stuff (most of which TikZ defines itself) to be set up correcty: \begin{tikzpicture}[scale = 1.0, pos=.5] \draw (0,0) rectangle node[text width = 3.5cm, text ragged, font=\scriptsize] {Some sample text some sample text some sample text} (3.5,0.5); \end{tikzpicture} Regards Mark 2009/9/1 Bertolt Meyer <bmeyer@...>: > Dear List, > > I'm a pgf/tikz newbie and searching the list archive and the tikz/pgf > manuel did not answer my following issue regarding the line spacing of > text embedded into tikz pictures.

Mark,
Thanks, but that doesn't solve the problem: after the first line break, the text inside the box seems to get a second line break before it is continued, i.e.: Some sample text some sam- ple text some sample text Maybe it is not a full empty line, but there is a considerable white space between the two lines of text, much larger than in regular LaTeX typeset. I want to get rid of that space.

Whoops, actually, that did solve the problem! Pasted your code in the
wrong example on my system... apologies. So thank you and please do ignore the second post. How embarrassing.
