TikZ and PGF -- Design considerations and approach to sizing pictures?
The first pages of the TikZ/PGF manual specifies that measurements are in
points, centimeters, or are relational to other lines/objects, but I don't
understand how to determine that up front.
I have a solution (provided by Qrrbrbirlbel) here:
Approach to creating graphics in book - TikZ, SVG, PDF, Inkscape?
This does exactly what I want, but I would like to have smaller grids and
the ability to position them on the page in (for example) a 5 column / 8
row matrix. I'm assuming there is some "automatic" way to do this, but
from what I've learned from the TikZ & PGF Manual, it seems that the
writer must know the dimentions up front. I know that there are scaling
options, but with my very limited knowledge of TikZ/PGF, they didn't seem
to address the scaling of multiple pictures and arranging them in a grid
on the paper.
What is the approach to creating TikZ graphics without the concern of
their dimensions?
