“如何创建多行时间线”中的“尺寸太大”错误

我正在努力适应如何创建多行时间线就我的情况来说。

如果我尝试获取 x 值（年）的更大缩放因子，即从 0.28 到任何更高的值

\pgfmathsetmacro\yearscale{0.28} % scaling factor for x-values (years)

我收到此错误：

Dimension too large.

 
myfile.tex, 77‬
<recently read> \pgf@xx 
                        
l.77 }
      
I can't work with sizes bigger than about 19 feet.
Continue and I'll use the largest value I can.

我该如何解决这个错误？

这是代码和结果图（x 值（年份）的缩放因子等于 0.28）：

在此处输入图片描述

答案1

我建议

  • 2000每年减去
  • 并使用x键（最初x = 1cm）来缩放整个图片，而不是使用\yearscale宏。

我还改变了一些\xdefs，\let因为它们不需要全局定义。
