    Have you tried anything? If so, you should post a small document that shows your attempt. This shouldn't be to hard, and TikZ is well documented.

  • The title seems to indicate you want help, but your post gives the impression you want someone to do it for you. Which one is it?

This could probably be done more elegantly.

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning,decorations.pathreplacing,calc}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[%
box/.style={draw,rectangle},
decoration={brace,amplitude=4}]
  \node (posint) [box] {positive integer};
  \node (negint) [box,right=of posint] {negative integer};

  \draw [decorate,thick]
    ($(negint.south east) + (0,-.3)$) -- node (mida) {} ($(posint.south west)  + (0,-.3)$);

  \node (int) [box,below=.4cm of mida] {integer};
  \node (frac) [box,right=of int] {fractional number};

  \draw [decorate,thick]
    ($(frac.south east) + (0,-.3)$) -- node (midb) {} ($(int.south west)  + (0,-.3)$);

  \node (rational) [box,below=.4cm of midb] {rational number};

  \draw [->] (posint) -- (negint);
  \draw [->] (int) -- (frac);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

This doesn't use pgf, sorry.

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\newcommand{\myline}[2]{\underbrace{\,#1\,}_{#2}}
\newcommand{\dblbox}[2]{\fbox{#1}\makebox[3em]{\rightarrowfill}\fbox{#2}}
\newcommand{\mytopstrut}{\vbox to 3ex{}}
\newcommand{\mybotstrut}{\vtop to 2ex{}}
\begin{document}
\[
\myline{\dblbox{positive integer}{negative integer}\mybotstrut}{
  \hspace{11.5em}\myline{\dblbox{integer}{fractional number}\mybotstrut\mytopstrut}{
    \fbox{rational number}\mytopstrut
  }
}
\]
\end{document}

  • Much as it loathes me to say it, not everything has to be done using TikZ! Nice solution.

Egreg did what I had in mind to do. I need a mobile TeX :-)
Oh well, this one's in eplain, so hopefully there is enough difference:

\input eplain
\def\mybox#1{\vcenter{\boxit{\hbox{#1}}}}
\def\To{\hbox to 3em{\rightarrowfill}}
$$ \displaylines{
  \underbrace{\mybox{positive integer}\To\mybox{negative integer}}\cr
  \hfil\underbrace{\mybox{integer}\To\mybox{fractional number}}\cr
  \hfil\mybox{rational number}}
$$
\bye
