How to put a box and use columns to separate arrows



The Next CEO of Stack OverflowHow to put a long piece of text in a box?Checking whether or not a node has been previously definedHow to draw a diagram of custom subject correlativitiesCreating a lot of checkbox'es to make visible/invisible arrows using `tikzpicture` environmentDraw a set of arrows using a palette of colorsHow to connect `pic`s through a set of colorful arrows using `tikzpicture` environmentThick and patterned arrowsArrows between two tables with multiple columnsTikZ/ERD: node (=Entity) label on the insideDrawing arrows from different edges of node/decision boxPut two columns into boxHow do I separate blocks of different height multicolumns and have separate columns below one another?How to put the letters under the arrows tikz?Box with incoming and outgoing arrowsHow to put text over monomorphism and epimorphism arrows?How to use arrows to separate rows or columns of a table

I am using the following resources:




  • The MWE of Creating a lot of checkbox'es to make visible/invisible arrows using tikzpicture environment.


  • The multicols environment of Draw a set of arrows using a palette of colors.


  • The box of How to put a long piece of text in a box?

MWE



I would like to:




  1. Center every arrow to the corresponding checkbox.

  2. Put to work multicols (it says "4" but it is actually 1 column).

  3. Get rid of the "Bad Box(es)" messages by making a good use of fbox (or similar command).

  4. Not say parbox{5cm}{...} but parbox{<automatic>}{...}, where parbox calculates the proper vertical space of the box, based on the quantity of columns.


I want this:



What I want



P.S. There can actually be 4 or 5 or any number of columns.

  • Could you perhaps consider cooking the MWE down to just the check box part since otherwise there will be a huge threshold for users to play with the MWE?

MWE



I would like to:




  1. Center every arrow to the corresponding checkbox.

  2. Put to work multicols (it says "4" but it is actually 1 column).

  3. Get rid of the "Bad Box(es)" messages by making a good use of fbox (or similar command).

  4. Not say parbox{5cm}{...} but parbox{<automatic>}{...}, where parbox calculates the proper vertical space of the box, based on the quantity of columns.


I want this:



What I want



P.S. There can actually be 4 or 5 or any number of columns.









share























  • Could you perhaps consider cooking the MWE down to just the check box part since otherwise there will be a huge threshold for users to play with the MWE?

I am using the following resources:




  • The MWE of Creating a lot of checkbox'es to make visible/invisible arrows using tikzpicture environment.


  • The multicols environment of Draw a set of arrows using a palette of colors.


  • The box of How to put a long piece of text in a box?

MWE



I would like to:




  1. Center every arrow to the corresponding checkbox.

  2. Put to work multicols (it says "4" but it is actually 1 column).

  3. Get rid of the "Bad Box(es)" messages by making a good use of fbox (or similar command).

  4. Not say parbox{5cm}{...} but parbox{<automatic>}{...}, where parbox calculates the proper vertical space of the box, based on the quantity of columns.


I want this:



What I want



P.S. There can actually be 4 or 5 or any number of columns.

I am using the following resources:




  • The MWE of Creating a lot of checkbox'es to make visible/invisible arrows using tikzpicture environment.


  • The multicols environment of Draw a set of arrows using a palette of colors.


  • The box of How to put a long piece of text in a box?
