I'm extremely new to LaTeX and this is my first post on this site. I have a major presentation coming in a couple weeks, and I'm in great need of your help.
I export Geogebra code for my graphs, it's much easier for me as an amateur. Well, it's too big for the frame. I've tried everything I can find on this site, and nothing seems to work.
Here's my code for the frame:
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Why do we care about the area under the curve?}
\definecolor{cqcqcq}{rgb}{0.75,0.75,0.75}
\begin{tikzpicture}[line cap=round,line join=round,>=triangle 45,x=1.0cm,y=1.0cm]
\draw [color=cqcqcq,dash pattern=on 320pt off 320pt, xstep=0.5cm,ystep=200.0cm] (-0.82,-100) grid (2.18,1100);
\draw[->,color=black] (-0.82,0) -- (2.18,0);
\foreach \x in {-0.5,0.5,1,1.5,2}
\draw[shift={(\x,0)},color=black] (0pt,2pt) -- (0pt,-2pt) node[below] {\footnotesize $\x$};
\draw[->,color=black] (0,-100) -- (0,1100);
\foreach \y in {,200,400,600,800,1000}
\draw[shift={(0,\y)},color=black] (2pt,0pt) -- (-2pt,0pt) node[left] {\footnotesize $\y$};
\draw[color=black] (0pt,-10pt) node[right] {\footnotesize $0$};
\clip(-0.82,-100) rectangle (2.18,1100);
\draw[line width=1.2pt, smooth,samples=100,domain=0.0:2.181034482758621] plot(\x,{915});
\draw (0.06,1066.88) node[anchor=north west] {Figher Jets at supersonic speed starts at 915 miles per hour.};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{frame}
scalekey for atikzpicture, i.e. in your case using something likescale=.8in the{}begind the\begin{tikzpicture}? – Ronny Mar 30 '13 at 20:45arrowslibrary, I still getDimension too largeerrors which means that the TikZ picture not only fits on abeamerframe but also not on any paper size producible with TeX. The last\drawalone is over 10 metres out. Usingx=3cm,y=.005cmbrings back the picture in a way one can actually read the content. You should use thepgfplotspackage if you deal with a) such big numbers and b) plots. – Qrrbrbirlbel Mar 30 '13 at 21:01
