# Adding text to a node in Tikz

Based on the answer in TikZ Adding Text, I tried the below example to display the coordinates as text in the Tikz figure. But the code is not compilable.

How do I add text to a coordinate in tikz without using the \node command.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw[thick,rounded corners=8pt] (0,0) {0,0} -- (0,2) {0,2};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}


After the suggestion from @JouleV, I have the following:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw (-5,0) node {-5,0} -- (5,0) node {5,0};
\draw (0,-5) node {0,-5} -- (0,5) node {0,5};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}


How to ensure that there is enough space between the text and lines?

• \draw (0,0) node {0,0}--(0,2) node {0,2};. Have a look at this. – The old JouleV Feb 23 at 4:20
• @JouleV thanks. It works. but now there is no enough space between the text and the lines. How do I introduce the space. – subham soni Feb 23 at 4:26

You just have to add some options to it.

\documentclass[tikz,margin=3mm]{standalone}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw (0,-5) node[below] {$(0,-5)$}--(0,5) node[above] {$(0,5)$};
\draw (-5,0) node[left] {$(-5,0)$}--(5,0) node[right] {$(5,0)$};
\draw (0,0) circle (3cm);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}


In fact you can add every possible option for \node.
