But when I compile the lines commented as % Line with error shows the lines wrong, I don't understand why, before I compiled well this figure. The error I've got is:
Missing \endcsname inserted. \draw[thick,->]
Texto:? Seems as if you remove thebabelthings compile just fine. BTW, it also does not compile withTeXLive 2013. – Peter Grill Oct 27 '14 at 22:26\usetikzlibrary{babel}– percusse Oct 27 '14 at 22:5810ptto the class or recalculate the area of the textblock, I think. (Except that10ptmay be the default in KOMA anyway as it is for the standard classes?) – cfr Oct 28 '14 at 00:39
