在 @Ross 和 @cfr 的大力帮助下，我制作了下面的时间线。为了完成它，我想在时间线周围添加一个黑色或深灰色的框（'17、F、M、A 等）。我试了好久才找到它，但我搞不懂。如何在时间线周围添加一条黑线？我已经使用 MS Paint 在顶部时间线中添加了一条黑线。如何在 LaTeX 中为两个时间线创建这样的线？

答案1
第一条时间线的起点坐标为Y-2017-1。时间线的终点坐标Y-2018-8为 。时间线宽度为 。\timelinewidth因此，时间线的西南角坐标为([yshift=-\timelinewidth/2]Y-2017-0)；即 下方时间线宽度的 1/2 Y-2017-1。同样，东北角坐标为([yshift=\timelinewidth/2]Y-2018-8)。知道西南和东北坐标后，\draw可以使用简单的命令绘制边框：
\draw[black,line width=1pt] ([yshift=-\timelinewidth/2]Y-2017-0) rectangle ([yshift=\timelinewidth/2]Y-2018-8);
结果如下：
这是 MWE：
