I've created a little diagram in TikZ. Only problem is, it's quite big, so I figured I should use landscape mode for it.

Only problem is, when I put it between 

\begin{landscape}
\input{erd.tikz.tex} % my diagram
\end{landscape}

I get an extra white page before the diagram itself.

I can't seem to understand why, any idea?

Thanks.

Here is the document:

\documentclass[border=0.4in]{article}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes.multipart}
\usetikzlibrary{matrix}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\usepackage{scalefnt}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{pdflscape}

\makeatletter


\begin{document}

\section{Foo}
Foo bar bar bar foo, foo bar.
\newgeometry{left=2cm,bottom=3cm}
\begin{landscape}
\input{erd.tikz.tex}
\end{landscape}
\restoregeometry
\section{Zip}
Boom boom, zip.

\end{document}

use 

\begin{landscape}
\resizebox{!}{0.95\textheight}{\input{erd.tikz.tex}}
\end{landscape}

The image is too big. The reason why it is placed on the following page.

  • Tried that. Still no luck.

    True, it should be {0.95\textheight}. I`ll correct it

    Ah, yes luck, this time. Wonderful. Thanks a lot. However, I wonder why this is needed: even without that all the visible picture fits neatly on the page. Is there an invisible/fully white part of the TikZ picture? Sounds... un-TeXish to me, for lack of a better term.

    Every object (box) which cannot be placed on the current page will move to the next page.

    Any hope to avoid this behavior (additional empty page) without resizing the TikZ-picture?
