Drawing stacks side-by-side in LaTeX












7















In this question, Alan Munn provided an example of how to draw a stack in LaTeX:



documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{shapes.multipart}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}[stack/.style={rectangle split, rectangle split parts=#1,draw, anchor=center}]
node[stack=5] {
nodepart{two}a
nodepart{three}b
nodepart{four}c
nodepart{five}d
};
end{tikzpicture}

end{document}


output of code



However, I would like to display 4 stacks side-by-side. How can this be done?

  • should be some distance between your "staks"? are all stack have the same number and size of cells? or this stacks form a matrix?

  • It dosn't matter how much distance is between the stacks. The stacks will have different amounts of cells but should all be aligned the the bottom. Cells may have different sizes.

To place additional stacks just portion the new nodes appropriately:



enter image description here



Code:



documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{shapes.multipart}

begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}[
stack/.style={rectangle split, rectangle split parts=#1,draw, anchor=center}
]

node[stack=5] (A) {
nodepart{two}a
nodepart{three}b
nodepart{four}c
nodepart{five}d
};
node[stack=5, right of=A] (B) {
nodepart{two}a
nodepart{three}b
nodepart{four}c
nodepart{five}d
};
node[stack=5, right of=B] (C) {
nodepart{two}a
nodepart{three}b
nodepart{four}c
nodepart{five}d
};
node[stack=5, right of=C] (D) {
nodepart{two}a
nodepart{three}b
nodepart{four}c
nodepart{five}d

      Really just 4 fun (and to answer a TikZ question with a non-TikZ answer, usually I am doing the opposite ;-).



      documentclass{article}
      usepackage{youngtab}
      begin{document}
      young(~,a,b,c,~)quadyoung(~,a,b,c,~)quadyoung(~,a,b,c,~)quadyoung(~,a,b,c,~)

        Here I use stackengine instead of tikz. I create the macro wstack with a comma separated list to stack. The term wboxstrut defines the minimum vertical footprint of the stacked items, initially set to the footprint of w and later changed to strut, which will have the effect of aligning all box edges.



        Automatically adjusts to content width.



        It uses fboxrule and fboxsep to define the box rule and offset.



        documentclass{article}
        usepackage{stackengine,listofitems}
        defwboxwidth{.7em}
        defwboxstrut{vphantom{w}}
        newcommandwbox[1]{fbox{makebox[wboxwidth]{#1wboxstrut}}}
        newcommandwstack[1]{%
        setsepchar{,}%
        setstackEOL{,}%
        savestacktmp{Shortstack{#1}}%
        defwboxwidth{wdtmpcontent}%
        readlistboxitems{#1}%
        savestackboxbuild{wbox{boxitems[-1]}}%
        foreachitemxinboxitems{%
        ifnumxcnt=1relaxelse%
        savestackboxbuild{stackon[-fboxrule]{boxbuild}{wbox{boxitems[-xcnt]}}}%
        fi%
        }%
        boxbuild%
        }
        begin{document}
        wstack{,a,b,c,d}
        wstack{,a,b,c}
        wstack{b,c,d}
        wstack{,aaa,b,c,d}qquad
        defwboxstrut{strut}
        wstack{,a,b,c,d}
        wstack{,a,b,c}

                                  Here I use stackengine instead of tikz. I create the macro wstack with a comma separated list to stack. The term wboxstrut defines the minimum vertical footprint of the stacked items, initially set to the footprint of w and later changed to strut, which will have the effect of aligning all box edges.



                                  Automatically adjusts to content width.



                                  It uses fboxrule and fboxsep to define the box rule and offset.

                                      Here I use stackengine instead of tikz. I create the macro wstack with a comma separated list to stack. The term wboxstrut defines the minimum vertical footprint of the stacked items, initially set to the footprint of w and later changed to strut, which will have the effect of aligning all box edges.



                                      Automatically adjusts to content width.



                                      It uses fboxrule and fboxsep to define the box rule and offset.
