I am struggling to find out how to change the angle between nodes in tikz trees. I have already tried the attribute sibling angle=...
specifically for child nodes or as level 1/.style=...
attribute at the beginning of the \tikzpicture environment. Sibling distance
works for me, but Sibling angle
does not change anything. Look at the following example:
What I want is that the angle between B and C gets wider or narrower. I need that for a bigger tree where there is a lot of overlapping.
Code:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{trees}
%------------------ Tikz Settings----------------------------
% Set the overall layout of the tree
\tikzstyle{level 1}=[level distance=3.5cm, sibling distance=3.5cm]
\tikzstyle{level 2}=[level distance=3.5cm, sibling distance=2cm]
%Define tree diagram styles
\tikzstyle{Decision} = [shape=rectangle,
draw,
double=black,
double distance=1pt,
text=black]
\tikzstyle{Lottery} = [shape=circle,
draw,
double=black,
double distance=1pt,
text=black]
\tikzstyle{Outcome} = [circle,
minimum width=3pt,
fill,
inner sep=0pt]
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\begin{tikzpicture}[grow=right, sloped, scale=0.7,level 1/.style={sibling angle=60, sibling distance=60mm}]
\node [Decision,label=left:{}] {A}
[node distance = 100mm]
child[sibling angle=10]{
node[Decision,label=right:{}] {B}
edge from parent
node[above] {}
}
child{
node[Decision,label=right:{}] {C}
edge from parent
node[above] {}
};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

If you are prepared to use forest, you can specify the angles between the siblings and their parent nodes etc. in various ways. Note, however, that forest is pretty good at auto-adjusting these kinds of things, so you may not really need to set them manually.
