I'm having some problems with my figure: I want the thick arrows (labeled epsilon+ and epsilon-) to extend all the way to the intersections they are pointing towards.
If I change the line length in the "intersection of" statement like:
(intersection of 100:2--+10:100 and 30:2--+120:100)
i.e. 100 instead of 4, the arrows get longer, but still not all the way there...
What explains this behaviour? Is it caused by the relative coordinates specifying the lines?
Do lines have to actually intersect to specify a coordinate using the "intersection of" or are they extended as needed to perform the calculation? (In my case, they are, but just wondering)
This is my first figure made with TikZ, and all input is appreciated. I'm thinking of resorting to using GeoGebra and exporting as TikZ or PDF, but I haven't quite given in yet.
Kind regards,
Snorre Olsen
