I am trying to render a grid of stones using the code below, however when I remove the stone in m-3-1, the stones above and to the right of it (particularly m-1-5) will be off-center:



alignedmisaligned



documentclassminimal
usepackagetikz
usetikzlibrarymatrix,shapes.geometric
newcommandstone[0] % https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/184068/45824

draw[thick,red,->] (m-1-1) -> (m-1-5);
draw[thick,red,->] (m-1-5) -> (m-3-5);
endtikzpicture
enddocument


How do I ensure all the stones are aligned correctly?

Cause of issue



First, your "working" code doesn't even output the intended diagram: the circles are not aligned yet



enter image description here



Adding option draw to every nodes in the "not working" code gives us



enter image description here



which can explain the problem: your nodes are aligned correctly, but the matrix itself is not at the right place.



Solution



  • Use tikzset

  • Add option inner sep

  • Use minimum size option for nodes

  • Use anchor center for the arrows (see more below)

usepackagetikz
usetikzlibrarymatrix,shapes.geometric

]

& & & & stone \

draw[step=1cm,color=gray] (0,0) grid (5,3);
draw[thick,red,->] (m-1-1.center) -> (m-1-5);
