Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Box with Title

[wishotz]

Hello guys,
I have a small question about tikzpicture.
My aim is to create something similar to something like that

Code: Select all

--Text-------
|           |
|           |
-------------

It should be like a box without gaps of course. So I cant just use a usual fbox.

My second question is to create something like a table and in the table squares should be boxes like surveys are.

You could use tcolorbox, for example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[most]{tcolorbox}
\newtcolorbox{mybox}[2][]{%
  attach boxed title to top center
               = {yshift=-8pt},
  colback      = blue!5!white,
  colframe     = blue!75!black,
  fonttitle    = \bfseries,
  colbacktitle = blue!85!black,
  title        = #2,#1,
  enhanced,
}
\begin{document}
\begin{mybox}[colback=white]{Title}
This is my box.
\end{mybox}
\end{document}

For the other question, please open a new topic. One topic for each question is the best.

Hey thanks it works great, and how do i use parameters to make the box smaller? Its right now for whole line but i want to make several small ones in one line

[Stefan Kottwitz]

You could add a width option, such as:

\begin{mybox}[colback = white, width = 4cm]{Title}

Well thats only the width of the box and what about the size of the title box? and also i want 4 such boxes next to each other with differenz sizes

[Stefan Kottwitz]

The width of the title box is automatically adjusted to the title text width. So that should be fine. Of course you can override that. There may be a TikZ option, but a quick way I see is making the title text box itself wider, at text level:

\begin{mybox}[colback = white, width = 4cm]{\protect{\makebox[2cm][c]{Title}}}

Okay sounds good and how can i place 4 of these boxes next to each other?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

It seems that simply putting one after the other results in the next one placed below. They seem to end the line.

What came first to my mind, is using tabular, since it can be a good way anyway to have a tabular layout.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[most]{tcolorbox}
\newtcolorbox{mybox}[2][]{%
  attach boxed title to top center
               = {yshift=-8pt},
  colback      = blue!5!white,
  colframe     = blue!75!black,
  fonttitle    = \bfseries,
  colbacktitle = blue!85!black,
  title        = #2,#1,
  enhanced,
}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{cccc}
\begin{mybox}[colback = white, width = 2cm]{Title}
First box.
\end{mybox}
&
\begin{mybox}[colback = white, width = 3cm]{Title}
This is my second box.
\end{mybox}
&
\begin{mybox}[colback = white, width = 1.8cm]{Title}
One more.
\end{mybox}
&
\begin{mybox}[colback = white, width = 2cm]{Title}
Last one.
\end{mybox}
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

I try to compile this code

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[most]{tcolorbox}
\usepackage{varwidth}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\newtcolorbox
{mybox}[2][]{enhanced,
before skip=2mm,after skip=2mm,
colback=black!5,colframe=black!50,boxrule=0.2mm,
attach boxed title to top left={xshift=1cm,yshift*=1mm-
\tcboxedtitleheight
},
varwidth boxed title*=-3cm,
boxed title style={frame code={
\path[fill=tcbcol@back!30!black]
([yshift=-1mm,xshift=-1mm]frame.north west)
arc[start angle=0,end angle=180,radius=1mm]
([yshift=-1mm,xshift=1mm]frame.north east)
arc[start angle=180,end angle=0,radius=1mm];
\path[left color=tcbcol@back!60!black,right color=tcbcol@back!60!black,
middle color=tcbcol@back!80!black]
([xshift=-2mm]frame.north west) -- ([xshift=2mm]frame.north east)
[rounded corners=1mm]-- ([xshift=1mm,yshift=-1mm]frame.north east)
-- (frame.south east) -- (frame.south west)
-- ([xshift=-1mm,yshift=-1mm]frame.north west)
[sharp corners]-- cycle;
},interior engine=empty,
},
fonttitle=\bfseries,
title={#2},#1}

\begin{document}
\begin{mybox}[colbacktitle=green]{My title}
\lipsum[2]
\end{mybox}
\begin{mybox}[colbacktitle=red]{My title}
\lipsum[3]
\end{mybox}
\end{document}

In overleaf.com it works good, but on my computer (TeXstudio 2.6.6, compiler=xelatex) there is error: pgfkeys: I do not know the key '/tcb/before skip' and I am going to ignore it. Perhaps you misspelled it. \begin{Newbox}[colbacktitle=green]{My title}

How fix it?
Thanks.
