Filling an annulus sector with tikz












4















I want to draw the following graphic using tikz:



enter image description here



Is it possible to draw this without using any packages? I can draw the coordinate system as well as both of the arcs but how do I get the space in between filled and also the connections between the arcs give me trouble.

    Welcome! Without using any packages, are you sure? You have to use at least one package if you use TikZ. Btw, please add a picture you have drawn so far, so we can have some addition if possible.

    Okay, I will make a picture now and post it. Give me a couple of minutes. I just got an idea.

You must load tikz package if you want to use TikZ :)) So I assume that you don't allow to load any additional packages.



In the following proposals, it seems that I don't use any packages. However, I do load one. documentclass[tikz]{standalone} already load tikz.





The angles are drawn with quotes and angles libraries. They are not packages, so I hope this answer is valid.



documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
usetikzlibrary{quotes,angles}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw[fill=black!20] (140:1) coordinate (beta) arc (140:-70:1) coordinate (alpha) -- (-70:2) arc (-70:140:2) -- (140:1);
draw (-2.5,0)--(2.5,0) coordinate (x);
draw (0,-2.5)--(0,2.5);
fill (1,0) circle (1pt) node[below right] {$c^a$} (2,0) circle (1pt) node[below right] {$c^b$};
coordinate (o) at (0,0);
pic[draw,<-,"$alpha$",angle radius=0.4cm,angle eccentricity=1.4] {angle=alpha--o--x};
pic[draw,->,"$beta$",angle radius=0.6cm,angle eccentricity=1.3] {angle=x--o--beta};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}


enter image description here





However, if you don't want to load a single library, you can play with arc and node[midway], although this is a bit more difficult



documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw[fill=black!20] (140:1) coordinate (beta) arc (140:-70:1) coordinate (alpha) -- (-70:2) arc (-70:140:2) -- (140:1);
draw (-2.5,0)--(2.5,0) coordinate (x);
draw (0,-2.5)--(0,2.5);
fill (1,0) circle (1pt) node[below right] {$c^a$} (2,0) circle (1pt) node[below right] {$c^b$};
coordinate (o) at (0,0);
draw[->] (0.4,0) arc (0:-70:0.4) node[midway,below right,inner sep=1pt] {$alpha$};
draw[->] (0.6,0) arc (0:140:0.6) node[below right,inner sep=0pt] {$beta$};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}


enter image description here





Recommended approach:



documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
usetikzlibrary{quotes,angles}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw[fill=black!20] (140:1) coordinate (beta) arc (140:-70:1) coordinate (alpha) -- (-70:2) arc (-70:140:2) -- (140:1);
draw (-2.5,0)--(2.5,0) coordinate (x);
draw (0,-2.5)--(0,2.5);
fill (1,0) circle (1pt) node[below right] {$c^a$} (2,0) circle (1pt) node[below right] {$c^b$};
coordinate (o) at (0,0);
pic[draw,<-,"$alpha$",angle radius=0.4cm,angle eccentricity=1.4] {angle=alpha--o--x};
pic[draw,->,"$beta$",angle radius=0.6cm,angle eccentricity=1.3] {angle=x--o--beta};
draw[very thin,dashed] (alpha)--(o)--(beta);
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}

  • The reason why I don't want any packages is because I use LyX instead of LaTeX and often face issues with downloading packages and getting them to work. If there is a solution (like your second one) that doesn't require packages I'm glad. So thanks for altering your solution!

  • @RedLantern If you don't want to load tikz, you have only one option: using the picture environment, which is definitely extremely difficult to use.

    No, don't worry. I already got tikz installed and working. But it took a while and every time I need a new package it requires time and work to get it working so I prefer to know how to draw stuff in tikz with only the basic commands.

You can do it with filldraw with some arcs. The use of polar coordinatesd like (-70:1) means starting poiunt is at -70 degrees and distance 1 from origin. The cycleat the end of the path closes the draw command.



documentclass[border=5mm]{standalone}
usepackage{tikz}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw (-3,0) -- (3,0);
draw (0,-3) -- (0,3);
filldraw[fill=gray!30,opacity=0.7] (-70:1) arc (-70:150:1) -- (150:2) arc (150:-70:2) -- cycle;
draw[->] (0:0.7) arc (0:-70:0.7)node[pos=0.5,anchor=-35]{$alpha$};
draw[->] (0:0.8) arc (0:150:0.8)node[pos=0.9,anchor=150]{$beta$};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}


enter image description here

  • That's exactly what I wanted. But I'm not sure if I fully understand what you did there. The (-70:1) is the starting point of the arc in polar coordinates? And adding --cycle in the end closes the graph by drawing the connections between the two arcs?

  • The reason why I don't want any packages is because I use LyX instead of LaTeX and often face issues with downloading packages and getting them to work. If there is a solution (like your second one) that doesn't require packages I'm glad. So thanks for altering your solution!

  • @RedLantern If you don't want to load tikz, you have only one option: using the picture environment, which is definitely extremely difficult to use.

  • @RedLantern There are many questions here about how to use TikZ in LyX. Take this one, for example.

  • @RedLantern Btw I don't think you need to download packages manually. What is your TeX distribution (i.e. MiKTeX or TeX Live or something...)?

    No, don't worry. I already got tikz installed and working. But it took a while and every time I need a new package it requires time and work to get it working so I prefer to know how to draw stuff in tikz with only the basic commands.

You can do it with filldraw with some arcs. The use of polar coordinatesd like (-70:1) means starting poiunt is at -70 degrees and distance 1 from origin. The cycleat the end of the path closes the draw command.



documentclass[border=5mm]{standalone}
usepackage{tikz}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw (-3,0) -- (3,0);
draw (0,-3) -- (0,3);
filldraw[fill=gray!30,opacity=0.7] (-70:1) arc (-70:150:1) -- (150:2) arc (150:-70:2) -- cycle;
draw[->] (0:0.7) arc (0:-70:0.7)node[pos=0.5,anchor=-35]{$alpha$};
draw[->] (0:0.8) arc (0:150:0.8)node[pos=0.9,anchor=150]{$beta$};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}

  • That's exactly what I wanted. But I'm not sure if I fully understand what you did there. The (-70:1) is the starting point of the arc in polar coordinates? And adding --cycle in the end closes the graph by drawing the connections between the two arcs?
