I have a specific timing diagram layout in mind, and I&#8217;m almost there:The complete code for that example can be found below. In brief, this is what I want to achieve:I want to be able to display a multi-line (two line) text label inside the L and H logic characters\/symbols: the first line is the value of the signal (0 or 1) &#8211; the second line is some sort of an indexing label (which could be plainly numeric &#8216;1&#8217;, or alphanumeric &#8216;a1&#8217; &#8211; passed as an argument, e.g. h{a1}) I want to be able to show a discontinuity in the time axis; the example shows the following variants:Based on D character (with Low and High parallel lines; capital letter name B or V) or based on Z character (line in middle; lowercase letter name b or v) Uses ellipsis (&#8230;, that is, \\cdots; B or b) or uses &#8220;a curvy widget&#8221; (here $\\iint$) as separator characters (V or v metacharacter macros)(sort of) off topic: I believe ellipsis is an appropriate character\/symbol for &#8220;discontinuity&#8221; in time diagrams, as it also means &#8220;omission&#8221;; this with the &#8220;curvy widget&#8221; is something I have from back in the (high school) days (last century). Does anyone know a name for this sort of a &#8220;curvy widget&#8221; symbol, used in the graphical\/diagram sense for discontinuity\/skip\/omission? I used a double integral symbol, $\\iint$, simply because I couldn&#8217;t find anything more appropriate; I simply need two parallel &#8216;S&#8217;-like shapes, but I don&#8217;t like the clef-like &#8220;dot serifs&#8221; (how are these called in typography?) that the integral sign has; closest I could find is the Unicode symbol U+2240 &#8216;\u2240&#8217; for wreath product &#8211; however, I&#8217;d need the &#8216;wreath&#8217; symbol rotated 180 degrees so its oriented rightly (to the right) &#8230; and here is an overview of the problems:Only D can accept text characters\/labels &#8216;inside&#8217; itself &#8211; this is, however, not really a problem, because in the metacharacter macro, I can first draw a D with thin dashed lines (which also helps me visually &#8211; so those dashed lines in the image are on purpose) and the text label, then &#8216;restart&#8217; the macro drawing, and draw an L or H symbol&#8230; but, then:D cannot accept paragraphed content (with linebreaks) &#8211; so I have to &#8220;cheat&#8221; with TeX primitives (\\raise\/\\lower \\hbox and \\kern) to simulate two lines; as a result these text lines inside are not center-aligned I have to apply the same TeX primitive (\\raise\/\\lower \\hbox and \\kern) approach, to be able to align the &#8220;time-discontinuity&#8221; symbol to the Low and High lines of the D-derived logic symbols (B and V); as the alignment is done &#8220;by hand&#8221;, again these symbols are not properly center aligned (in respect to the entire width of the logic symbol) I cannot visually &#8220;interrupt&#8221; the D lines (if I try to &#8220;break&#8221; in code, I&#8217;ll get a D transition, which I do not want) &#8211; so I have to use \\colorbox{white}{&#8230;} to specify a white background; but then, this background &#8220;spills over&#8221; the grid, which again I do not want &#8211; I&#8217;d simply want a white &#8220;interruption&#8221; of the same height as the lineI&#8217;d also l<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"rop\"><small>Originally posted 2013-09-26 03:16:15. <\/small><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniel King tikz-pgf tikz-timing I would like to be able to make the label below (which I have made red) have text size equivalent to \\tiny but I can not figure out how to do it?
