# Resize tikZ picture

I have put the tikZ picture between \begin{figure} and \end{figure}. I need to make it bigger. The thing is that when I scale it, it does not look good at all. This is the code:

\begin{figure}[H]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{rc}
& Movies \\
Users &
\begin{tabular}{ l | c | r }
&      A    &   B  \\ \hline
1 & $\tikzmarknode{a11}{r_{1A}}$~ & ~$\tikzmarknode{a12}{r_{1B}}$ \\ \hline
2 & $\tikzmarknode{a21}{r_{2A}}$~  & ~$\tikzmarknode{a22}{r_{BA}}$ \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{tabular}

\begin{tikzpicture}[overlay,remember picture]
\draw[stealth-stealth,blue] (a11.north east) --  (a12.north west)
node[midway,above,scale=0.4,black] (dAB)    {\contour{white}{$d_{AB}$}};
\draw[-stealth,blue] (a21.south east) -- (a22.south   west);
\draw[-stealth,blue] (dAB.south) to[out=0,in=80] (dAB.south|-a22);
\draw[stealth-stealth] (a11.east) -- (a21.east)
node[pos=0.5,right,scale=0.4,black] (d12) {\contour{white}{$d_{12}$}};
\draw[-stealth] (d12.north) to[out=0,in=180] ([yshift=-1ex]a12.west);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{figure}

Any help? Thank you!

• I'm not with a compiler which can compile \tikzmarknode right now, but I think resizing the table (not the TikZ picture) would do the trick. – user156344 Apr 14 '19 at 5:02
• Note: you can confuse [remember picture] by playing with scale or rotate. – John Kormylo Apr 14 '19 at 17:54

As Joule V is mentioning, you can play make the table bigger. One way of doing this is to play with \arraystretch. The problem is that I may misunderstand what you want.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{contour}
\contourlength{1pt}
\usetikzlibrary{tikzmark}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[htb]
\centering\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{2}
\begin{tabular}{rc}
& Movies \\
Users &\centering%\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{3}
\begin{tabular}{ l |>{\centering}p{1cm}| r }
&      A    &   B  \\ \hline
1 & $\tikzmarknode{a11}{r_{1A}}$~ & ~$\tikzmarknode{a12}{r_{1B}}$ \\ \hline
2 & $\tikzmarknode{a21}{r_{2A}}$~  & ~$\tikzmarknode{a22}{r_{BA}}$ \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{tabular}

\begin{tikzpicture}[overlay,remember picture]
\draw[stealth-stealth,blue] (a11.north east) --  (a12.north west)
node[midway,above,scale=0.7,black] (dAB)    {\contour{white}{$d_{AB}$}};
\draw[-stealth,blue] (a21.south east) -- (a22.south   west);
\draw[-stealth,blue] (dAB.south) to[out=0,in=80] (dAB.south|-a22);
\draw[stealth-stealth] (a11.east) -- (a21.east)
node[pos=0.5,right,scale=0.7,black] (d12) {\contour{white}{$d_{12}$}};
\draw[-stealth] (d12.north) to[out=0,in=180] ([yshift=-1ex]a12.west);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

• Thank you! I will try your way. The thing is I don't want to compile it separated from the whole TeX document, meaning, compile it in a different file and then cut the pdf generated and use it as an image. I want to compile the whole thing! – NaveganTeX Apr 14 '19 at 5:09
