How can I arrange the dashed rectangles T1, T2 and T3 to be symmetric as possible and contain all the blocks and arrows without overlaps, as there is now for T1 and T2? T3 should surround all the arrows that are currently outside.

          • How can I make the T3 dashed lines to surround also the arrows?

            @Codevan Which arrows? Do you want to also fit the arrow on the right or the complete arrow going from giga to glamore?

          • Both that you mentioned, and also align T1 and T2 to have the same size as T3.

            – Codevan
            Apr 21 at 13:50













          • @Codevan Do you want both arrows completely in the dashed box?

            @Codevan I added an alternative that does not require you to tune xshifts.

          • How can I make the T3 dashed lines to surround also the arrows?

            @Codevan Which arrows? Do you want to also fit the arrow on the right or the complete arrow going from giga to glamore?

          • Both that you mentioned, and also align T1 and T2 to have the same size as T3.

          • @Codevan Do you want both arrows completely in the dashed box?

            @Codevan I added an alternative that does not require you to tune xshifts.

          Change inner xsep.

          • How can I make the T3 dashed lines to surround also the arrows?

            @Codevan Which arrows? Do you want to also fit the arrow on the right or the complete arrow going from giga to glamore?

          • Both that you mentioned, and also align T1 and T2 to have the same size as T3.

          • @Codevan Do you want both arrows completely in the dashed box?

            @Codevan I added an alternative that does not require you to tune xshifts.

          Para el género de plantas, véase Musa (planta). Apolo y la Nueve Musas En la mitología griega, las musas (en griego antiguo μοῦσαι « mousai» ) son, según los escritores más antiguos, las divinidades inspiradoras de las Artes: cada una de ellas está relacionada con ramas artísticas y del conocimiento. Son hijas de Zeus y de Mnemósine, compañeras del séquito de Apolo, dios olímpico de la música y patrón de las bellas artes, quien tuvo romances con cada una de ellas, dejando descendientes.
