Aiuto per migliorare una tavola periodica con TikZ

::

Ciao, prova a mettere un `\large` nel quarto parametro del newcomnand \NaturalElementTextFormat. Aumenta, ma non più di tanto. Con `\Large` purtoppo alcuni nomi sbordano.

Stefano

PS: essendo una tabella d’uso si potrebbe pensare di estenderla su due pagine ed inserire qualche altra informazione sugli elementi.

Ciao, qui trovi una discussione MOLTO interesante sul caso e non solo. Per semplicità sarei portato a trattare la tavola periodica, e simili, come un allegato/inserto a parte e quindi un file a parte in formato A3 da stampare al bisogno.

Ovviamente l’autore decide cosa è meglio, qual è la soluzione migliore.

Ciao, ti propongo una via alternativa in 5 passaggi.

PASSAGGIO 1
Creare il fie perdiodica.tex con il tuo codice, dove ho eliminato la caption e la label della tabella sia perché non servono più di tanto sia soprattutto per motivi di ritaglio.

Naturalmente dai i nomi che vuoi. Quei numeri decimali un po’ strani che vedi sono stati necessari per tagliare fino al bordo la tabella. Il risultato finale è un file pdf di 2 pagine delle dimensioni finali di 191,6×210,3 mm per ogni pagina.
