# How to make the size of the node bigger?

How do I make the size of the node larger?

\begin{tikzpicture}
\node [left,ultra thick] at (0,6) {$V_i$};
\node [left,ultra thick] at (0,3) {$V_f$};
\end{tikzpicture}

• @Sebastiano please don't. It's ok for me don't worry! Feb 6 '19 at 8:06

Using: minimum size=4cm you can increase the size of the node:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{tikz,mathtools}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\node [left,minimum size=4cm] at (0,6) {$V_i$};
\node [left,minimum size=4cm] at (0,3) {$V_f$};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}


If the question is increase the size of the character, then you can add \large, \Huge, etc., as from this code:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{tikz,mathtools}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\node [left,minimum size=4cm] at (0,6) {\large{$V_i$}};
\node [left,minimum size=4cm] at (0,3) {\Huge{$V_f$}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

• it is not doing the magic for me. Feb 6 '19 at 9:01
• minimum size option is making the box bigger in which the name of node resides. Feb 6 '19 at 9:03
• Maybe add scale=2,transform shape instead of minimum size=4cm?
