I'm following TikZ & PGF Manual, on page 47 (drawing a Petri net). The example is demonstrating making every label red with the following line:
\begin{tikzpicture}[every label/.style={red}]
When I use this the label does turn red, but I lose all other color:
(and here is my image without the [every label/.style={red}]
portion):
My log contains a bunch of lines like this:
Missing character: There is no [ in font nullfont!
Missing character: There is no p in font nullfont!
Missing character: There is no l in font nullfont!
This question suggests that blank lines are the cause, but my image works when I remove the [every label/.style={red}]
portion, and doesn't when I put it back. This question suggests that I've got bare text. I'm afraid I don't know enough to determine whether this is the case for me (but I am copying from the linked manual…).
Could somebody shed light on this issue? Here's my minimal non-working example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows,decorations.pathmorphing,backgrounds,positioning, fit,petri}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[every label/.style={red}]
[place/.style={circle,draw=blue!50,fill=blue!20,thick,
inner sep=0pt, minimum size=6mm},
transition/.style={rectangle,draw=black!50,fill=black!20,thick,
inner sep=0pt, minimum size=4mm}]
%
\node [place] (waiting) at ( 0,2) {};
\node [place] (critical) at ( 0,1) [below=of waiting] {};
\node [place] (semaphore) at ( 0,0) [below=of critical,label=above:$s\le3$] {};
\node [transition] (leave critical) at ( 1,1) [right=of critical] {};
\node [transition] (enter critical) at (-1,1) [left =of critical] {};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Got it.
This has two style setup sections (two sections in
[ ]
). One of them (the second) is being interpreted as bare text, instead of an addendum to the first. Because the second set contains the color for thenodes
, they weren't being colored.To fix this, I should just use a single
[ ... ]
containing all my styling:
