I need to draw a picture, the picture is showed below. Which package is better to draw it,TikZ?

Circle representing set A, which is independent of partially overlapping circles B and C; all three sets are in a rectangle U

    We don't usually like “Draw this for me questions”. This one is easily done after reading one or two of the first pages of the manual. – Manuel Feb 01 '15 at 16:07
  • You can find excellent tutorials in the manual. At least help us out with a basic document that loads the proper packages. I think you'll find this picture is very simple, if you just give it a try. – darthbith Feb 01 '15 at 16:08

    TikZ is a bit frightening at first sight (just the page counter in the pdf freaks me out on its own!), but don't be put off. Have a try, and if you get into difficulties, bring them back here and there are lots of clever people who should be able to help. – Brent.Longborough Feb 01 '15 at 18:04
  • Take a look at these examples of Venn diagrams in TiKZ: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/26096/tikz-labelling-venn-diagram – Benjamin McKay Feb 01 '15 at 18:14

A PSTricks solution:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{pstricks}

\begin{document}

\begin{pspicture}(8,4)
  \large
  \psframe(0,0)(8,4)
  \rput(0.5,0.5){$\mathbf{U}$}
  \pscircle(1.8,2.8){0.7}
  \rput(2.6,3.6){$\mathbf{A}$}
  \pscircle(6.2,2.5){1.3}
  \rput(7.5,3.6){$\mathbf{B}$}
  \pscircle(5.3,1.5){1.3}
  \rput(6.5,0.4){$\mathbf{C}$}
\end{pspicture}

\end{document}

output

Can't let a pstricks answer alone, it needs company BTW ;-) 

\documentclass[tikz,border=4]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{fit}
\begin{document}
  \begin{tikzpicture}
    \node[circle,draw,inner sep=0.7cm,label={[font=\bfseries]60:A}] (a) at (1,1.5) {};5
    \node[circle,draw,inner sep=1.3cm,label={[font=\bfseries]60:B}] (b) at (8.5,1.5) {};
    \node[circle,draw,inner sep=1.3cm,label={[font=\bfseries]-60:C}] (c) at (7,0) {};
    \node[draw,fit=(a)(b)(c),inner sep=7pt,
                label={[font=\bfseries,shift={(4ex,4ex)}]south west:U}] {};
  \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Another TikZ option, but without the fit library and with an auxiliary style:

\documentclass[tikz,border=4]{standalone}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}[
mcircle/.style={circle,draw,inner sep=#1}
]
\node[mcircle=0.7cm,label={60:$\mathbf{A}$}] 
  (a) at (1,1.5) {};5
\node[mcircle=1.3cm,label={60:$\mathbf{B}$}] 
  (b) at (8.5,1.5) {};
\node[mcircle=1.3cm,label={-60:$\mathbf{C}$}] 
  (c) at (7,0) {};
\draw
  ([shift={(-8pt,8pt)}]a.west|-b.north) rectangle ([shift={(8pt,-8pt)}]b.east|-c.south);
\node at (a.west|-c.south) {$\mathbf{U}$};
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

Another option.

\documentclass{scrartcl}

\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}[font=\bfseries]
  \draw (4,2) rectangle (-4,-2) node[above right] {U};
  \draw ( -2,0.8) circle[radius=0.7] +( 50:0.7) node[right] {A};
  \draw (2.5,0.7) circle[radius=1.2] +( 45:1.2) node[right] {B};
  \draw (1.5,-.7) circle[radius=1.2] +(-40:1.2) node[right] {C};
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}
