Drawing Indian Flag using tikz
To enforce the nine different measurements one can use the .is choice
key handler from the pgfkeys
stuff. I have reimplemented the flag code (which probably needs more fiddling to get the details of Ashoka Chakra exactly right). Note, that for the larger sizes of the flag, the x
and y
vectors need to be changed to avoid dimension too large
errors:
\documentclass[tikz,border=5]{standalone}
\definecolor{saffron}{HTML}{FF9933}
\definecolor{white}{HTML}{FFFFFF}
\definecolor{indiegreen}{HTML}{138808}
\definecolor{navyblue}{HTML}{000080}
\tikzset{%
flag width/.store in=\flagwidth,
flag height/.store in=\flagheight,
flag size/.style args={#1x#2}{flag width=#1, flag height=#2},
Ashoka Chakra/.store in=\AshokaChakra,
size/.is choice,
size/.cd,

/tikz/.cd,
Flag of India/.pic={%
\begin{scope}[#1,

\foreach \stripecolor [count=\i from 0] in {indiegreen, white, saffron}
\path [fill=\stripecolor]
(-\flagwidth/2, \i/3*\flagheight-\flagheight/2)
rectangle ++(\flagwidth, 1/3*\flagheight);
\tikzset{scale=\AshokaChakra/2}
\path [fill=navyblue, even odd rule]
circle [radius=1] circle [radius=22/25] circle [radius=1/5];
\foreach \i in {0,...,23}
\path [fill=navyblue] (15/2+15*\i:22/25) circle [radius=1/20]
[rotate=15*\i] (0:0) -- (21/4:1/3) -- (0:7/8)-- (-21/4:1/3)--cycle;
\end{scope}
},
Flag of India/.default={size=9}
}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[x=1mm, y=1mm]
\coordinate (flag);
\foreach \size in {5,...,9}
\pic at (flag.south) (flag)
{Flag of India={size=\size, shift=(270:\flagheight*3/4)}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
You have more problems:
- put
pic
in owntikzpicture
is wrong approach - Due to
scalebox
you need forpic
use coordinates multiplied with inverse of scaling factor.
\documentclass[tikz, border=3mm]{standalone}
\definecolor{saffron}{HTML}{FF9933} % top stripe
\definecolor{white}{HTML}{FFFFFF} % middle stripe
\definecolor{indiegreen}{HTML}{138808} % bottom stripe
\definecolor{navyblue}{HTML}{000080} % ashok chakra
\tikzset{
estilo/.style = {draw=navyblue,fill=navyblue},% moved here
ashokchakra/.pic ={
\scalebox{0.1}{

\draw[estilo, even odd rule] (0,0) circle (92.5) (0,0) circle (80);

}}}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\fill[saffron] (0,40) rectangle (90,60);
\fill[white] (0,20) rectangle (90,40);
\fill[indiegreen] (0, 0) rectangle (90,20);
\pic at (450,300) {ashokchakra};% <-- since you use scalebox
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
Better result you obtain, if you not use scalebox
and manually scale all coordinates in pic
figures:
\documentclass[tikz, border=3mm]{standalone}
\definecolor{saffron}{HTML}{FF9933} % top stripe
\definecolor{white}{HTML}{FFFFFF} % middle stripe
\definecolor{indiegreen}{HTML}{138808} % bottom stripe
\definecolor{navyblue}{HTML}{000080} % ashok chakra
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[
estilo/.style = {draw=navyblue,fill=navyblue},% moved here
ashokchakra/.pic ={
\draw[estilo, even odd rule] (0,0) circle (9.25) (0,0) circle (8);
\draw[estilo] (0,0) circle (1.6);
\foreach \x in {0,..., 23}
{
\draw[estilo] (0.75+15*\x:8.0) circle (0.35);
\draw[estilo, rotate=15*\x] (0,0)--(0.538:3.2)--(8.0,0)--(-5.38:3.2)--cycle;
}
}%end of pic
]
\fill[saffron] (0,40) rectangle (90,60);
\fill[white] (0,20) rectangle (90,40);
\fill[indiegreen] (0, 0) rectangle (90,20);
\pic at (45,30) {ashokchakra};% <-- since you use scalebox
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
In above MWE the styles for ashokchakra
is moved in tikzpicture
