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..

One-line joke

A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
