Create linguistic diagram (in TikZ?)












2















I want to create a dependency diagram such as the following:
dependency diagram



So far, I have done this using TikZ:



documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz}
usepackage{calc}

begin{document}
defmytext{The man}

newlength{basewidth}
setlength{basewidth}{widthof{mytext}}

begin{tikzpicture}[
firstnode/.style={
shape = rectangle,
inner sep = 2pt,
anchor=south west,
}
]
draw[thin] (0,0) -- (basewidth + 2ex,0);
draw[thin] (0,0) -- (0, 1.5em);
draw (0,0) node[firstnode,
minimum width = basewidth] {mytext};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}


Which gives me the following output:



my output



How may I complete the diagram (in repeatable, efficient way)?

  • Thanks! Yes, but those aren't the kind of diagrams I want. I need this other kind to help my students easily grasp the sentence syntax.

How about this?

usepackage{adjustbox}

begin{tabular}{lll}

In this update, I added the second tree for illustration and packed all the definitions in a style that you can recycle, and which allows you to make changes globally. The relative vertical alignment is adapted from this nice answer.

  • @p.lugan Of course/ Just add s sep=0em after l sep=2.5em.

  • Perfect. Just a side question: how can I manage to learn to do that by myself? The PGF/TikZ manual is simple overwhelming!
