I create many images with TikZ and I would like to make an image gallery. It should look like this:

enter image description here

The gallery should

  • put the image in front of a (gray) background
  • resize the image to a maximum width / height (and leave the aspect ratio intact)

It would be nice if I could put the images in seperate files and use something like 

\begin{gallery}
    \input{tikz/myImage1.tex}[Some title]
    \input{tikz/myImage2.tex}[another title]
    \input{tikz/mathImage.tex}[This is a visualization of $f(x, y) = x^2 y^2$]
\end{gallery}

This is what I've got so far (code also at GitHub):

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amssymb,amsmath} % needed for math
\usepackage{standalone} % needed for includestandalone
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} % this is needed for umlauts
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel} % this is needed for umlauts
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}    % this is needed for correct output of umlauts in pdf

\usepackage{adjustbox}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\definecolor{myLightGray}{HTML}{F9F9F9}
\definecolor{borderColor}{HTML}{CCCCCC}

\usepackage{tikz} % needed for includestandalone
\usetikzlibrary{arrows,positioning, calc}

\tikzset{
    pil/.style={->,thick}

\newenvironment{gallery}{}{}

gallery so far

I've used \includestandalone, but with this I had to add the style defined in \tikzset in dot-product-1.tex to the main document. Thats not good.

  • Some hints: standalone allows you to include TikZ images or any other TeX file using \includestandalone[<options>}{<filename>} where you can use the same (standard) options like for \includegraphics. Also adjustbox is able to turn its content into a float and add a caption. The three-in-a-row format needs extra effort, however. – Martin Scharrer Sep 27 '12 at 15:51
  • Hi Martin, I've used \includestandalone as you suggested. Do you know how I could define a gallery-environment, that adds the \includestandalone + adjustbox automatically? (I've provided the code on github, the link is in my question). By the way, it doesn't have to be 3-in-a-row. It should only fit to the page width. – Martin Thoma Sep 28 '12 at 10:27
  • There is nothing impossible in TeX. See the most similar question here. – kiss my armpit Sep 28 '12 at 10:27
  • @MartinScharrer I have now also used adjustbox. The result is now much nicers, but I don't know how to fix the size :-( – Martin Thoma Sep 28 '12 at 12:14
  • @moose: Use width and height instead of max width and max height to get a fixed size. You need to add keepaspectratio so that the ratio isn't changed. One side might then be smaller than requested. – Martin Scharrer Sep 28 '12 at 17:57
  • @MartinScharrer: Thanks for the suggestions! I've updated my code and image. Thanks for the suggestions. But the gray boxes should keep the size while the image inside is is shrinked to fit. So this is still not exactly what I'm looking for. – Martin Thoma Sep 28 '12 at 19:01

  • improved alignment
  • dynamic spaces between pictures
  • environment breaking across pages ;)

To horizontally align the content in the gray rectangle use center=4cm, which will force an official width of 4cm and horizontally center the content in it without doing any further scaling. The vertical alignment can be done using valign=M followed by a set vsize={2cm}{2cm}. Alternatively you can also use raise={.5\depth-.5\height}{2cm}{2cm}. Note that both will align the middle of the boxes at the baseline, which is fine here, but you might want to raise=2cm it in other cases.
