I have the requirement to draw a tree down- and then upgrowing. In pgfmanual, p. 322, the grow key is mentioned. I have no solution to specify the root/parent of the opposite side. Also there is spoken about a personally to define growth function, but there is no example. So I put two trees, one up-, the other downgrowing, in one tikz picture env. But alignment is a real horror (see xhift commands) and perhaps impossible. So, I need help to build one tree with changing growth direction. The problem for me is that I have no idea to specify the parent of some childs, that would be necessary for the connection "Genus: Brassica" coming from above species, for "Order: Asparagales" and "Class: Magnoliopsida" too. In the last case three Ordo-childs with one parent (Class...), if I grow down. I hope, if someone can solve this, that alignment would be a small challenge and "Class: Magnoliopsida" (at the end of the tree) would be centered as the other parent "Outdoor". Many thanks in advance. What I have reached so far you can see in the mwe.

For drawing of your tree I would use forest package and for it define tree grow only to south, i.e. have only one tree. The nodes common to some branches of forest are place in pair with phantom node (node "Ordo") or coordinate (node "Genus"). Nodes at the end of branches are named (from aux1 to aux6). Those names are used in drawing of lines which are not drawn as edges in forest.

Edit: At use of the siunitx are defined range-units = single, group-minimum-digits=4, group-separator={.}. By this is unified writing of numbers and have shorter quantity range.

  • You have reached the aim. Great, in less than 2 hours! I don't understand all of your code, yet. I see that there was eliminated the up/down growing problems. Thank you for all!

  • @gizeh, most of the time I need to rearrange order of child orders, after this I only need to replace child and node by [, remove all superfluous curly braces and add close ] for determining/terminate nodes in branches. A quite error prone task :-(. I hope, that all nodes are in correct place :-).
