backgrounds for scopes

[pgf-tikz-bot]

Migrated from SourceForge Author: equaeghe Timestamp: 2006-02-22 21:53:21

Currently, backgrounds can be added to tikzpictures, but not to scopes.

To use backgrounds, one just has to additionally use

\usetikzlibrary{backgrounds}

in the preamble.

An example:

\begin{tikzpicture}[framed]
\draw (0,0) -- (1,1);
\end{tikzpicture}

This gives a framed picture.

As a scope can be seen and used as a logical sub-picture, it seems useful to also implement this functionality there, so one could write:

\begin{tikzpicture}
    \draw (0,0) -- (1,1);
    \begin{scope}[framed, xshift=2cm]
        \fill (0,0,1) circle (2cm);
    \end{scope}
\end{tikzpicture}

This is, indeed, a nice-to-have thing, but I postpone it (after it has been postponed for 7 years...)...

For this we'd need a scope-local bounding box. Sounds like a lot of work and a lot to keep track of. What about nested scopes?
