Voltage arrow

Hello,
I'm trying to adapt some Mark Wibrow's code that he gave here and on fr.comp.text.tex to draw voltage arrows. I defined a Voltage> style (with two arguments). I'd like to be able to say \draw[Voltage>={.7cm}{$u$}] (A) -- (B); and the arrow drawn would be risen of .7cm and have a label $u$, and start after A and stop before B, something like that (ascii art). u ---------> ------ A---| |---B ------ I tried the following code, but 1) the line is not risen 2) the arrow is not correctly drawn. Any ideas ? In addition, I think that the syntax of the Voltage> is not as clear as usual in tikz. Do you have other ideas ? BTW, this is the french way of doing this. I did not find any IEC recommendations to do that. Do you know if this is IEC compliant? Thanks in advance \documentclass{minimal} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{decorations} \usetikzlibrary{decorations.markings} \pgfdeclaredecoration{single line}{initial}{% \state{initial}[width=\pgfdecoratedpathlength-1sp]{% \pgfpathmoveto{\pgfpointorigin}} \state{final}{\pgfpathlineto{\pgfpointorigin}} } \tikzset{% raise line/.style={% decoration = {single line, raise=#1}, decorate}, shorten risen line/.style args={shorten by #1 and #2 risen by #3}{% decoration = {% single line, raise = #3, pre = moveto, pre length = {#1*\pgfmetadecoratedpathlength}, post = moveto, post length = {#2*\pgfmetadecoratedpathlength}}, decorate}, label line/.style={% postaction = {% decoration = {raise=0pt,markings,mark=#1}, decorate}}, Voltage>/.style 2 args={% ->, shorten risen line = shorten by .1 and .1 risen by #1, label line = {at position .5 with {\node[above]{#2};}}} } \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \coordinate[pin=below:$A$] (A) at (0,0); \coordinate[pin=below:$B$] (B) at (3,3); \draw[Voltage>={.7cm}{$u$}] (A) -- (B); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} -- Christophe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

Hi,
Tricky one this. It seems that when you use pre and post stuff in the decoration this uses a special internal meta-decoration which doesn't like the raise key. It could be possible to hack into this internal meta-decoration, or rewrite the single line decoration to make it more sophisticated and enable shortening the line. However, a much cleaner, quicker solution (if you don't mind switching to specifying actual lengths instead of fractions of the length of the line) is to use the tikz keys shorten > and shorten < to get the desired effect: \documentclass{minimal} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{decorations} \usetikzlibrary{decorations.markings} \pgfdeclaredecoration{single line}{initial}{% \state{initial}[width=\pgfdecoratedpathlength-1sp]{% \pgfpathmoveto{\pgfpointorigin}} \state{final}{\pgfpathlineto{\pgfpointorigin}} } \tikzset{% raise line/.style={% decoration = {single line, raise=#1}, decorate}, shorten risen line/.style args={shorten by #1 and #2 risen by #3}{% decoration = {% single line, raise = #3 }, decorate, shorten <=#1, shorten >=#2}, label line/.style={% postaction = {% decoration = {raise=0pt,markings,mark=#1}, decorate}}, Voltage>/.style 2 args={% ->, shorten risen line = shorten by 0.5cm and 0.5cm risen by #1, label line = {at position .5 with {\node[above]{#2};}}} } \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \coordinate[pin=below:$A$] (A) at (0,0); \coordinate[pin=below:$B$] (B) at (3,3); \draw[Voltage>={.7cm}{$u$}] (A) -- (B); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Hope this helps Mark 2009/10/6 Christophe Jorssen <jorssen.leraincy@...>: > Hello, > > I'm trying to adapt some Mark Wibrow's code that he gave here and on > fr.comp.text.tex to draw voltage arrows.
