comment tikz matrix align/decorate cellpictures
I think there is a misunderstanding here. Can you include the end result you want to see via a matrix? Because you are using matrix of nodes but as you can see the TikZ example doesn't have it. It would be great if you can modify the question towards your final goal instead of the current problem. I feel that there is an XY problem here.

Not what OP wants but I think that should be rendered as the x axis scale.

comment Tikzmarks being placed arbitrarily when shifting tikzpicture
@UlrikeFischer , arunchaganty tikzmark is stationary but the reference to it (pic cs:a) is an explicit coordinate (it is a coordinate system) hence obeys the transformation. Probably @AndrewStacey will step in with one of his good-to-read surgeries soon. Otherwise I'll try to make up someting in the evening. If you want to declare objects to reference external objects you can create a local scope and reset the transformations.

comment Tikzmarks being placed arbitrarily when shifting tikzpicture
shifting is not centering. You are adding the coordinate of the page center to the picture objects that are given with explicit coordinates, e.g., (2,3) would do but (a.west) won't) and that's the intended behavior. Nodes do not get affected from these transformations unless transform shape is used. That's why the current page node is unaffected. In your slides probably they are not nodes. Long story short there is no extreme arbitrariness

comment Small text near arrow tips
Sorry for the follow-up but can you manually place a tau that you wish to have? then we will get an idea what the context is.

comment Small text near arrow tips
What's your niceness metric? Left of it right of it? Very close to the arrow head? Very close to the arrow tip?

comment Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat
@MartinSchröder It's a well-known beginner confusion. I had the same problem for a long time. Especially if you are not into academia it's not that easy to get the basics as everything is named ....TeX.

comment How to set a default parameter for all edges
It needs every edge/.append style. But double will always come before unless you overwrite the default edge operation. See the manual Sec.16.12 (last part)

comment Unsung Heros - PSTricks, TikZ, pgfplots,
It doesn't matter as long as the figures are nice whether via TikZ or Photoshop or Visio. You have to convince them to make their figures nicer which is much harder. When there is a need there is a will.

But that wouldn't be out-of-the-box solution if your contribution is involved right? We will be back at the image you have given. Or am I not reading the question correctly?

comment Chapter Dependency Diagram in Latex
what happens if seventh depends on the first chapter? drawn over the fifth? Object avoidance in TikZ is not feasible, if not impossible.

comment tikz clip rounded corners
There are a few concepts mixed up here. The shape you have copied is a node shape so it doesn't apply directly. You can use \pgfnode and add clip as the last option then it will clip, example, tex.stackexchange.com/questions/53184/… . Second, this is just a path so you can simply use \clip[rounded corners] (0,2cm) -| (2cm,0) -| (0,2cm);
