I use tkiz to draw a picture in LaTeX. It works with me with \documentclass[border=5pt,tikz]{standalone}. However, when I try to use the same code in my original LaTeX file \documentclass[english]{IEEEtran}, it does not fit in the paper. How can I edit the following code to use it in my LaTeX file?

\documentclass[border=5pt,tikz]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows,positioning}
\newcommand{\parallelsum}{\mathbin{\|}}
\newcommand{\point}{\textbullet\hspace{1em}}
\everymath{\displaystyle}

        \begin{document}

    \begin{tikzpicture}[every node/.style={inner sep=6pt,draw,anchor=east},>=triangle 60]
        \node[xshift=1cm] (a) {\textcolor{red}{$V_1$ generate a temporary key pairs} $[Pk^{1}_{v_{1}}, Pr^{1}_{v_{1}}]$};
            \draw[->,cyan] ([yshift=.3cm,xshift=2cm]a.east) --+ (5,0) node[black,midway,above=.1cm] {$Pk^{1}_{v_{1}}$};

            \end{tabular}

    Well, the perhaps simplest option might be to include the pdf of the picture in your document. If this is not an option for you, you may tell us if you set any length parameters in your document different from the defaults of your class since this may help us judging whether or not the picture will fit. Or is your question how to redesign your picture in such a way that it becomes narrower? –  Sep 11 '18 at 02:26
  • @marmot I am using the standard IEEEtran conferences format: \documentclass[english]{IEEEtran}. I just need to the figure to fit in my paper not include it as a picture. I try many solutions but I got many errors. – Mohamed Sep 11 '18 at 02:29

    I guess it will be very hard to fix this. You have many large explicit dimensions, explicit shifts and so on. The IMHO most promising way would be a more or less complete redesign. –  Sep 11 '18 at 02:53
  • @marmot could you help me with that. As I am very new to tkiz. Just fix me a part of the code so I can learn how to fix the remaining by myself. – Mohamed Sep 11 '18 at 03:07

    This post may help you Scaling different components of tikzpicture together. – J Leon V. Sep 11 '18 at 03:07
  • Scaling your tikzpicture to \columnwidth renders it unreadable. You might try a two column version using figure*. BTW, there is no difference between scaling a tikzpicture and a PDF containing a tikzpicture. Both are done using the graphicx package. – John Kormylo Sep 11 '18 at 03:28

  • Thanks for your help. I try to copy the code to my TeXstudio program But it keeps trying to run and it is taking so much time without any response. – Mohamed Sep 11 '18 at 04:22
  • @Mohamed I have no idea what happens on your machine. All I know that this code runs without problems on my updated TeXLive 2018 distribution. The only thing that I do not get from this contribution is IEEEtran.cls. Where did you get your version from? You seem to also have a problem with John Kormylo's code. Perhaps this suggests that you update your TeX installation. –  Sep 11 '18 at 04:27
  • it works with me. Thank you very much. Is there is any way to resize the text inside the boxes? As it seems the text is not in a straight line. – Mohamed Sep 11 '18 at 04:58
  • If this question worked for you, you should accept the answer with the green check, if you have additional questions you can ask them in another question centered on those issues or on other improvements. – J Leon V. Sep 11 '18 at 05:13
  • @Mohamed I think all texts are on straight lines. You can resize texts as is done in the yellow boxes, e.g. with font=\large. You can also say scale=0.8, say, but I would not do either since then the texts are different from what is in the main text. –  Sep 11 '18 at 11:08
