I have concatenated rectangles like so:



usetikzlibraryfit, positioning
begintikzpicture
node [rectangle, draw, text width=4em, fill=white] (b) B;
node [rectangle, draw, text width=4em, right=of b, fill=white] (a) A; 
node [rectangle, draw, fit=(b) (a), fill=orange, fill opacity=0.1] (local) ;
endtikzpicture


The result of the above is this:



enter image description here



My problem is that I do not want inner boxes A & B to have the orange background (i.e. they should not be coloured..). How can I fix this please? (still new to Tikz!)

  • Welcome to TeX.SE! Does adding fill=white to the inner nodes do what you want? node [rectangle, draw,text width=4em,fill=white] (b) B; and then fill the big node on the background layer.

  • Thank you, no it does not work. I think because the last fill is overriding previous ones.. I have updated my code above to reflect this..

Long meetings (6-7 hours a day): Being “babysat” by supervisor

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP .everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0; up vote 31 down vote favorite 4 I hold a PhD in mechanical engineering with a 7 year background in self-guided, self-paced research including 2 years as a graduate level course instructor and a subject matter expert for various engineering projects in a university setting in the United States. For the last 10-11 months, I am working in a research industry in France where my task is to debug C++ spaghetti code written over a period of several years by my current supervisor. It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day.

Confectionery

Image
Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
