How to draw the figure with four pentagons?












3















I want to make the next figure formed by 4 pentagons.



enter image description here



I can only do with two and still have a space between them. I can't even do the reflection of the two pentagons to get the desired figure.



documentclass[a4paper]{article}

usepackage[brazil]{babel}

usepackage{graphicx}

usepackage{tikz}

begin{document}

begin{center}

begin{figure}[!htb]

begin{tikzpicture}

draw[ultra thick,rotate=18] (0:2) -- (72:2) -- (144:2) -- (216:2) -- (288:2) -- cycle;

end{tikzpicture}

end{figure}

begin{figure}[!htb]

begin{tikzpicture}
draw[ultra thick,rotate around={198:(-0.80,0.58)}] (0:2) -- (72:2) -- (144:2) -- (216:2) -- (288:2) -- cycle;

end{tikzpicture}

end{figure}

          You can draw more than one shape in the same tikzpicture:



          documentclass[a4paper]{article}

          usepackage[brazil]{babel}

          usepackage{graphicx}

          usepackage{tikz}

          begin{document}

          begin{center}

          begin{figure}[!htb]

          begin{tikzpicture}

          draw[ultra thick,rotate=18] (0:2) -- (72:2) -- (144:2) -- (216:2) -- (288:2) -- cycle;
          begin{scope}[yshift=-3.22cm]
          draw[ultra thick,rotate=198] (0:2) -- (72:2) -- (144:2) -- (216:2) -- (288:2) -- cycle;
          end{scope}
          begin{scope}[xshift=3.8cm]
          draw[ultra thick,rotate=18] (0:2) -- (72:2) -- (144:2) -- (216:2) -- (288:2) -- cycle;
          begin{scope}[yshift=-3.22cm]
          draw[ultra thick,rotate=198] (0:2) -- (72:2) -- (144:2) -- (216:2) -- (288:2) -- cycle;
          end{scope}
          end{scope}
          end{tikzpicture}

          end{figure}

          end{center}

          end{document}




          To make things easier, you can use predefined pentagons:



          documentclass[a4paper]{article}

          usepackage{tikz}
          usetikzlibrary{shapes.geometric}

          begin{document}

          begin{figure}[!htb]
          begin{tikzpicture}[every node/.append style={regular polygon, regular polygon sides=5, minimum size=4cm, draw,ultra thick}]
          node at (0,0) {};
          node at (3.8,0) {};
          node[rotate=180] at (0,-3.22) {};
          node[rotate=180] at (3.8,-3.22) {};
          end{tikzpicture}
          end{figure}

          end{document}


          enter image description here



          Off-topic: please note that placing a floating figure environment inside a non-floating center environment does not make much sense..

            Similar answer to @samcarter, but using named nodes -- avoids having to calculate the distances. My motto: Let TikZ do the work!



            documentclass{article}

            usepackage{tikz}

            usetikzlibrary{shapes.geometric}
            %% The size can easily altered by changing the minimum size
            tikzset{pgon/.style={regular polygon,regular polygon sides=5,minimum size=1in,draw,ultra thick,outer sep=0pt}}

            documentclass{article}

            usepackage{tikz}

            usetikzlibrary{shapes.geometric}

            tikzset{pgon/.style={regular polygon,regular polygon sides=5,minimum size=1.5in,draw,ultra thick,outer sep=0pt}}

            begin{document}

            tikz{%
            node[pgon] (S) at (0,0) {S};
            node[pgon,anchor=corner 2] (A) at (S.corner 5) {A};
            node[pgon,rotate=180,anchor=corner 4] (B) at (S.corner 3) {B};
            node[pgon,rotate=180,anchor=corner 4] (C) at (A.corner 3) {C};
            draw[fill=purple!50,line join=bevel,ultra thick] (S.corner 5) --
            (A.corner 3) --
            (C.corner 5) --
            (S.corner 4) -- cycle;
            }

            end{document}


            Update



            I have modified the code slightly so that there won't be a problem with mitre issues at the top and bottom of the colored shape. Updated the output as well.

            • Nice answer. When I compile your code, I do not get these very small purple triangles sticking out at the top and bottom(something like a miter line join at a sharp angle) . Do you know why they are there? What is your workflow to create the image?

            • @hpekristiansen Hmmm. I did not see the mitre issue to which you refer, even at very high magnification (MacTeX2019-Pretest). Still, I will modify the code above to take care of that problem... Thanks for your keen observation!

                      Similar answer to @samcarter, but using named nodes -- avoids having to calculate the distances. My motto: Let TikZ do the work!

                      usepackage{tikz}

                      usetikzlibrary{shapes.geometric}
                      %% The size can easily altered by changing the minimum size
                      tikzset{pgon/.style={regular polygon,regular polygon sides=5,minimum size=1in,draw,ultra thick,outer sep=0pt}}

                      node[pgon,anchor=corner 2] (A) at (S.corner 5) {A};
                      node[pgon,rotate=180,anchor=corner 4] (B) at (S.corner 3) {B};

                      Update



                      I have modified the code slightly so that there won't be a problem with mitre issues at the top and bottom of the colored shape. Updated the output as well.

                      • Nice answer. When I compile your code, I do not get these very small purple triangles sticking out at the top and bottom(something like a miter line join at a sharp angle) . Do you know why they are there? What is your workflow to create the image?

                      • @hpekristiansen Hmmm. I did not see the mitre issue to which you refer, even at very high magnification (MacTeX2019-Pretest). Still, I will modify the code above to take care of that problem... Thanks for your keen observation!

                      • Nice answer. When I compile your code, I do not get these very small purple triangles sticking out at the top and bottom(something like a miter line join at a sharp angle) . Do you know why they are there? What is your workflow to create the image?

                      • @hpekristiansen Hmmm. I did not see the mitre issue to which you refer, even at very high magnification (MacTeX2019-Pretest). Still, I will modify the code above to take care of that problem... Thanks for your keen observation!
