Comments
The opening bracket after \begin{document} seems to be a mistake.
Thanks Sven. I have now removed the bracket.
Why did you leave the bottom part with the source code and footprints empty?
I received the code from Ludger Humbert. I don't know why he left out the bottom part.
I get "Undefined control sequence" for \nodeshadowed.
Of all the example I tried, this is the only one which did not compile. I have installed texlive-full on Ubuntu 9.10.
Am I missing something?
Is it texlive 2007 or 2008? If I remember correctly, only texlive 2007 is available as an Ubuntu package. Texlive 2007 ships with PGF 1.18. The example requires PGF 2.0 or later.
It is indeed texlive 2007 (2007.dfsg.2-4ubuntu1). PGF itself is version 2.00-1, though. If I have a problem with another command, I will try to install texlive 2008 from the debian packages.
Thank you very much.
