# Line with intervals using tikzpicture [duplicate]

I have used following image as inspiration for my line.

In my case there are 10 instances with different intervals. With some (ok a lot) help I have so managed to make this code

\documentclass[paper=a4, fontsize=11pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathreplacing}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[every edge/.style={shorten <=1pt, shorten >=1pt}]
\draw (0,0)  node [below] {0} -- (1,0) node [below] {1};
% draw the tick marks
\coordinate (p) at (0,2pt);
\foreach \myprop/\mytext [count=\n] in {0.06/$p_1$,0.06/$p_2$,0.06/$p_3$,0.06/$p_4$,0.06/$p_5$,0.15/$p_6$,0.13/$p_7$,0.14/$p_8$,0.15/$p_9$,0.13/$p_10$}
\draw [decorate,decoration={brace,amplitude=2}] (p)  edge [draw] +(0,-4pt) -- ++(\myprop,0) coordinate (p) node [midway, above=2pt, anchor=south] {\mytext} ;
\path (1,2pt) edge [draw]  ++(0,-4pt);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}


The result is

Not very impressive or appealing. I'm new to tikzpicture and find all this overwhelming. Can anyone help?

• It would help us a lot to help you, if you would provide a fully compilable minimum working example. – JMP Apr 13 '16 at 20:56
• The snippet of code is amended now. – Orongo Apr 13 '16 at 21:07
• Could you explain what's the difference between this question and your already answered (and accepted) tex.stackexchange.com/questions/303328/… – Ignasi Apr 13 '16 at 21:09
• Note that the use of other people's code without attribution is rather rude. In some cases, it will also be illegal and/or violate site policies. But the fact that common courtesy requires it is a more compelling and, in this case, more plausible consideration. – cfr Apr 13 '16 at 22:28

Your code looks more or less okay to me. The only problem is, that you've chosen your dimensions way to small. Multiplying the x coordinates by 10 yields:

Code

\foreach \myprop/\mytext [count=\n] in {0.6/$p_1$,0.6/$p_2$,0.6/$p_3$,0.6/$p_4$,0.6/$p_5$,1.5/$p_6$,1.3/$p_7$,1.4/$p_8$,1.5/$p_9$,1.3/$p_{10}$}
\draw [decorate,decoration={brace,amplitude=2}] (p)  edge [draw] +(0,-4pt) -- ++(\myprop,0) coordinate (p) node [midway, above=2pt, anchor=south] {\mytext} ;
\path (10,2pt) edge [draw]  ++(0,-4pt);
