I have several pictures in my thesis. I want to draw arrows with text over these pictures. After that I want to scale the picture, but the node position should adjust to the scaling and arrows, and text-size should not change.
Here is my example:
\begin{figure}
\begin{tikzpicture}[
every node/.style={font=12pt},
remember picture,
scale=0.3,
transform shape
]
\node[anchor=south west,inner sep=0] (Bild) at (0,0) {\includegraphics{images/Bild.eps}};
\node (a) at (28,44) {Hello};
\node (b) at (54,63) {};
\draw [
-latex,
line width=2mm,
] (a) -- (b);
\end{tikzpicture}
\caption{This is an example} \label{Fig:Example}
\end{figure}
So when I scale with 0.3 the image Bild.eps is scaled, but also the font is scaled very small.
How can I scale the picture without changing the font and arrows while the node coordinates are adjusted to the scaled pictures (same position)?
Here is what I have so far:
\begin{tikzpicture}
\node[anchor=south west,inner sep=0] (image) at (0,0) {\includegraphics[width=1\textwidth]{Bild.eps}};
\begin{scope}[x={(image.south east)},y={(image.north west)}]
\draw[
-latex,
line width=2mm
] (1,1) -- (3,2);
\end{scope}
\end{tikzpicture}
But I am working in TikZEdt. It is very hard to adjust the arrow by setting the nodes with the cursor. I got a very small green rectangle, which represents the size of the arrow.
How can I make this rectangle bigger so that it is easier to adjust/set the position of the nodes for the arrow?
Okay here is what I mean:

- Scale the picture
- Keep the arrow and font size (same as document size)
- Keep the position of the nodes
The picture is the output how I want it (I edited it with Photoshop).
\includegraphics, can’t you? It also would be better to use coordinates relatively to your image node, say\tikzset{x=(Bild.south west), y=(Bild.north west)}(which would work in your simple case). See also Drawing on an image with TikZ – Qrrbrbirlbel Nov 08 '13 at 20:19
