So I need to draw a burger with an American flag on top using TikZ. TikZ is a LaTeX package for creating graphics, so I should think about how to break down the image into shapes that I can draw with TikZ commands. | |
First, let's consider the burger. A typical burger has several layers: the bottom bun, some fillings like lettuce, tomato, cheese, patty, and then the top bun. For simplicity, I can represent each of these as rectangles or perhaps rounded rectangles to make it look more like a burger. | |
Wait, actually, burgers are usually round, so maybe I should use circles or ellipses for the buns and the fillings. But since it's a side view, I think it's common to depict them as stacked layers with curved tops and bottoms for the buns. | |
Let me sketch this out mentally. The bottom bun would be a semi-circle or an arc at the bottom, then flat layers for the fillings, and another semi-circle or arc for the top bun. | |
But in TikZ, drawing arcs and curves might be a bit tricky, but it's doable. Alternatively, I could use rectangles with rounded corners to approximate the shape. | |
Hmm, maybe I can use a combination. For the buns, I can use a rectangle with a semi-circle on top for the top bun and a semi-circle at the bottom for the bottom bun. | |
Wait, actually, a common way to draw a burger is to use a rectangle for the base, then add arcs or curves on top. | |
Let me think about coordinates. Suppose I set up a coordinate system where the burger is centered at (0,0). I can draw the bottom bun as a rectangle from, say, (-2,0) to (2,0.5), and then add an arc on top of it. | |
But actually, for the bottom bun, it's usually flat on the bottom and curved on top. So maybe from (-2,0) to (2,0), then an arc from (2,0) to (-2,0) passing above. | |
Wait, in TikZ, I can use the \draw command with the arc operation. | |
Alternatively, perhaps I can use the \path command with a rounded rectangle. | |
Wait, another idea: I can use the \fill command with a path that includes straight lines and curves. | |
Let me try to be more specific. For the bottom bun, I can draw a rectangle from (-2,0) to (2,0.5), and then from (2,0.5) to (-2,0.5) with a curve, but actually, since it's the bottom, maybe it's flat. | |
Wait, typically, the bottom bun is flat on the bottom and slightly curved on top. So perhaps a rectangle from (-2,0) to (2,0.5), and then a slight curve on top. | |
But to simplify, maybe I can just use a rectangle for the bottom bun. | |
Then, for the fillings, I can stack thin rectangles on top of each other. | |
For example, lettuce could be a green rectangle, tomato a red one, cheese a yellow one, patty a brown one, and so on. | |
Then, for the top bun, it should be similar to the bottom bun but mirrored, so curved on top. | |
Wait, actually, the top bun is usually more domed. So perhaps I can use a semi-circle or an arc for the top. | |
Alternatively, I can use a rectangle with a large arc on top. | |
Let me look up how to draw arcs in TikZ. | |
In TikZ, I can use the arc command within a path. For example, \draw (x,y) arc (start:stop:radius); | |
But actually, for a semi-circle, I can specify start and stop angles. | |
For instance, to draw a semi-circle above the x-axis, I can do \draw (-2,0.5) arc (180:0:2); | |
Wait, let's see: arc (start:stop:radius) draws an arc starting from angle start to angle stop with the given radius. | |
So for a semi-circle from (-2,0.5) to (2,0.5), I can do \draw (-2,0.5) arc (180:0:2); but wait, that would be a semi-circle centered at (0,0.5) with radius 2, but actually, from (-2,0.5) to (2,0.5) with radius 2 would be a semi-circle going upwards. | |
Wait, let's calculate: the center would be at (0,0.5 - 2), since the radius is 2, but wait, actually, for an arc from (-2,0.5) to (2,0.5) with angles 180 to 0, the center would be at (0,0.5 - r), but wait, the distance from center to (-2,0.5) should be r. | |
Wait, actually, for a semi-circle from (-r,0) to (r,0) with center at (0,0), but in this case, it's from (-2,0.5) to (2,0.5), so the center should be at (0,0.5 - r), and the radius r such that the y-coordinate is 0.5 when theta=90 degrees, but wait, actually, for a circle centered at (0,c), the point at theta=0 is (r, c), but in this case, at theta=0, it should be (2,0.5), so actually, the center is at (0,0.5 - r), and when theta=0, x=r, y=c + r sin(0)=c, but wait, for a standard circle, at theta=0, it's (r,0), but in TikZ, arc (0:180:r) would go from (r,0) to (-r,0) counterclockwise. | |
Wait, perhaps it's easier to use the \draw command with coordinates. | |
For example, for the top bun, I can draw a path that goes from (-2,0.5) to (2,0.5), then arc to (2,1.5) or something, but actually, maybe I can use a control point to make a curve. | |
Alternatively, I can use the \draw plot[smooth] coordinates {(-2,0.5) (0,1.5) (2,0.5)}; to make a smooth curve passing through those points. | |
That might be a good way to approximate the domed top of the bun. | |
So, for the top bun, I can draw a rectangle from (-2,1) to (2,1.5), and then a smooth curve from (-2,1.5) to (2,1.5) passing above, say through (0,2.5). | |
Wait, let's say the top bun starts at y=1.5, and the curve goes up to y=2.5. | |
But actually, I need to decide the heights. | |
First, let's plan the layers. | |
Let me assume the bottom bun is from y=0 to y=0.5, then fillings from y=0.5 to y=1.5, and top bun from y=1.5 to y=2.5 or so. | |
But perhaps I can make the fillings thinner. | |
For example: | |
Bottom bun: y=0 to y=0.5 | |
Lettuce: y=0.5 to y=0.6 | |
Tomato: y=0.6 to y=0.7 | |
Cheese: y=0.7 to y=0.8 | |
Patty: y=0.8 to y=1.0 | |
Top bun: y=1.0 to y=1.5 with a curve up to y=2.0 or something. | |
Wait, that might work. | |
But actually, the top bun usually overlaps a bit, so perhaps the rectangle part is from y=1.0 to y=1.5, and then the curve from y=1.5 up to y=2.0. | |
Similarly, for the bottom bun, it could be from y=0 to y=0.5, with a slight curve if I want, but for simplicity, maybe just a rectangle. | |
Alternatively, to make it look nicer, I can make the bottom bun have a slight curve as well. | |
But let's start with rectangles for now. | |
So, first, draw the bottom bun as a rectangle from (-2,0) to (2,0.5), filled with a light brown color. | |
Then, lettuce as a green rectangle from (-2,0.5) to (2,0.6), but maybe make it a bit wavy to look like lettuce. | |
Similarly, tomato as a red rectangle, cheese as yellow, patty as brown, and so on. | |
But for the lettuce, to make it look more realistic, perhaps I can draw a wavy line or use a pattern. | |
In TikZ, there are patterns like "north east lines" or "dots", but for lettuce, maybe a wavy line would be better. | |
Alternatively, I can draw multiple small curves to represent the lettuce leaves. | |
But that might be too complicated. For simplicity, let's just use a green rectangle for now. | |
Similarly for the other fillings. | |
Then, for the top bun, draw a rectangle from (-2,1.0) to (2,1.5), and then a semi-circle or a curve on top. | |
Wait, let's say the fillings are from y=0.5 to y=1.0, so patty from y=0.8 to y=1.0, for example. | |
Wait, perhaps I need to adjust the heights. | |
Let me assign specific heights: | |
Bottom bun: y=0 to y=0.4 | |
Lettuce: y=0.4 to y=0.5 | |
Tomato: y=0.5 to y=0.6 | |
Cheese: y=0.6 to y=0.7 | |
Patty: y=0.7 to y=0.9 | |
Top bun: y=0.9 to y=1.3 with a curve up to y=1.8 or something. | |
Wait, perhaps it's better to use a consistent height for the fillings. | |
Alternatively, since it's a cartoonish drawing, I can make the layers thicker for visibility. | |
Let's say: | |
Bottom bun: y=0 to y=1 | |
Lettuce: y=1 to y=1.2 | |
Tomato: y=1.2 to y=1.4 | |
Cheese: y=1.4 to y=1.6 | |
Patty: y=1.6 to y=2.0 | |
Top bun: y=2.0 to y=2.5 with a curve up to y=3.0 | |
But maybe that's too tall. In TikZ, the default unit is cm, so y=3.0 would be 3cm high, which is fine. | |
Alternatively, I can scale everything down later if needed. | |
So, let's proceed with that. | |
First, draw the bottom bun as a rectangle from (-2,0) to (2,1), filled with light brown. | |
Then, lettuce as a green rectangle from (-2,1) to (2,1.2), but to make it look like lettuce, perhaps I can draw a wavy line. | |
For example, use \draw[green, thick] (-2,1) -- (-1.8,1.1) -- (-1.6,1) -- ... up to (2,1.2) or something, but that might be tedious. | |
Alternatively, I can use a decoration from the decorations.pathmorphing library, like \draw[green, decoration={zigzag, segment length=2mm, amplitude=1mm}, decorate] (-2,1) -- (2,1); | |
Then fill the area between that line and y=1.2. | |
But filling might be tricky. | |
Wait, actually, for simplicity, let's just use a green rectangle for lettuce. | |
Similarly for other fillings. | |
So, \fill[green] (-2,1) rectangle (2,1.2); for lettuce. | |
Then \fill[red] (-2,1.2) rectangle (2,1.4); for tomato. | |
\fill[yellow] (-2,1.4) rectangle (2,1.6); for cheese. | |
\fill[brown] (-2,1.6) rectangle (2,2.0); for patty. | |
Then, for the top bun, \fill[lightbrown] (-2,2.0) rectangle (2,2.5); and then add a curve on top. | |
For the curve, I can use \draw[lightbrown] (-2,2.5) to[controls=(0,3.5)] (2,2.5); or something like that, but Actually, to make it a filled shape, I need to close the path. | |
Wait, better to use \fill[lightbrown] (-2,2.0) -- (-2,2.5) to[controls=(0,3.5)] (2,2.5) -- (2,2.0) -- cycle; | |
But that might not look right, because the control point is only for the curve from (-2,2.5) to (2,2.5), and the sides are straight. | |
Alternatively, I can use a smooth plot through points. | |
For example, \fill[lightbrown] (-2,2.0) -- (-2,2.5) .. controls (-1,3) and (1,3) .. (2,2.5) -- (2,2.0) -- cycle; | |
That might give a nice domed shape. | |
Yes, using two control points for a cubic Bezier curve. | |
So, let's say controls at (-1,3) and (1,3), so the curve goes from (-2,2.5) to (2,2.5) with control points at (-1,3) and (1,3), which should make it bulge upwards. | |
Similarly, for the bottom bun, if I want, I can make it slightly curved at the bottom, but for now, a rectangle is fine. | |
Wait, actually, to make it look better, perhaps I can make the bottom bun have a slight curve as well. | |
For example, \fill[lightbrown] (-2,0) .. controls (-1,-0.5) and (1,-0.5) .. (2,0) -- (2,1) -- (-2,1) -- cycle; | |
But since it's the bottom, and usually flat, maybe it's unnecessary. | |
Alternatively, typical burger drawings have the bottom bun with straight sides and a flat bottom. | |
So, I'll keep it as a rectangle for now. | |
Now, about the colors: I need to define lightbrown, perhaps using \definecolor{lightbrown}{RGB}{210,180,140} or something similar. | |
Similarly for other colors. | |
But for simplicity, I can use predefined colors like brown, green, red, yellow. | |
Wait, TikZ has brown, green, red, yellow, but for the bun, brown might be too dark, so perhaps I can use orange or define a lighter shade. | |
Actually, there's a color called "tan" in TikZ, which might be suitable for the bun. | |
Let me check the TikZ manual or recall that tan is a predefined color. | |
Yes, in the xcolor package, which TikZ uses, there is a color called tan. | |
So, I can use tan for the buns. | |
For the patty, I can use brown. | |
For lettuce, green; tomato, red; cheese, yellow. | |
That should work. | |
Now, after drawing the burger, I need to put an American flag on top. | |
So, the flag should be on a stick, I suppose, inserted into the burger. | |
First, let's think about the flag. | |
The American flag has stripes and a blue field with stars. | |
For a simple drawing, I can represent it as a rectangle with red and white stripes and a blue rectangle in the top left corner with some white stars. | |
But since it's a small flag on top of the burger, I don't need to draw all 50 stars; maybe just a few to represent. | |
Alternatively, for simplicity, I can draw a blue rectangle and some white dots or small stars. | |
In TikZ, drawing stars can be done with the star shape, but it might be overkill. | |
Perhaps I can just use small white circles for the stars. | |
So, let's plan the flag. | |
Suppose the flag is positioned above the burger, say at (0,3.5) or so, with a stick going down to the burger. | |
First, draw the stick: a thin vertical line from (0,2.5) to (0,3.5), for example. | |
Wait, actually, since the top of the bun is at y=2.5 with the curve up to y=3.0, say, but actually, in my earlier plan, the curve is from y=2.5 with controls at y=3.0, so the top point is at (0,3.0), but since it's a curve, the maximum y is less than 3.0. | |
Wait, for a cubic Bezier curve from (-2,2.5) to (2,2.5) with controls at (-1,3) and (1,3), the maximum y is at x=0, and the y-coordinate can be calculated, but for simplicity, let's assume the top is around y=2.8 or so. | |
But actually, for the flag, I can place it above, say at y=4.0. | |
So, draw a vertical line from (0,2.5) to (0,4.0), but since the bun is at y=2.5, and the curve is above, perhaps from (0,3.0) to (0,4.0), but to make it look like it's inserted into the burger, maybe from (0,1.5) or so, but since the fillings are up to y=2.0, perhaps from (0,2.0) up to y=4.0. | |
Wait, actually, typically, the stick goes through the top bun into the fillings. | |
So, let's say the stick is from (0,0.5) to (0,4.0), but that might be too long. | |
Alternatively, since the burger is from y=0 to y=2.5, and the curve up to y=3.0, perhaps the stick is from (0,2.5) to (0,4.0), but visually, it should look like it's inserted into the top bun. | |
So, maybe draw the stick from (0,2.0) to (0,4.0), and have the flag at y=4.0. | |
But actually, to make it clear, I can draw the stick going through the top bun. | |
Wait, perhaps draw the stick first, from (0,1.0) to (0,4.0), say, and then draw the burger layers, so that the stick appears to be behind the layers. | |
But in TikZ, the order of drawing matters, so if I draw the stick first, then the layers, the layers will cover the stick where they overlap. | |
So, that could work. | |
Alternatively, I can draw the stick after the layers, but then I need to clip or something, but it's simpler to draw the stick first. | |
Wait, actually, for a flag on a stick, typically, the stick is in front, so maybe draw the stick after the burger. | |
But in many illustrations, the stick is inserted into the burger, so part of it is hidden. | |
To simplify, perhaps I can draw the stick from the top of the bun upwards. | |
So, let's say from (0,2.5) to (0,4.0). | |
Then, at (0,4.0), attach the flag. | |
For the flag, I can draw a rectangle, say from (0,4.0) to (2,4.5), with red and white stripes and a blue field. | |
But since it's small, maybe make it from (0,4.0) to (1.5,4.5), for example. | |
To draw the stripes, I can use multiple \fill commands for each stripe. | |
The American flag has 13 stripes, but for a small drawing, maybe just a few. | |
Alternatively, I can use a pattern or just draw a few lines. | |
Similarly, for the stars, perhaps just draw a few white stars on the blue field. | |
But to keep it simple, maybe draw a blue rectangle and some white dots. | |
First, let's decide on the dimensions. | |
Suppose the flag is 1.5 units wide and 1 unit high, from (0,4.0) to (1.5,5.0). | |
Then, the blue field is in the top left, say from (0,4.5) to (0.75,5.0), for example. | |
Wait, actually, in the American flag, the blue field is in the canton, which is the top left quarter, but precisely, it's 7/13 of the height and about 0.76 of the width for the stripes part. | |
But for simplicity, I can make the blue field a rectangle in the top left. | |
Then, for the stripes, there are 13 horizontal stripes, alternating red and white, with red on top and bottom. | |
But since it's small, maybe I can draw fewer stripes, say 3 red and 2 white, for example. | |
Alternatively, I can use a loop to draw multiple thin stripes. | |
In TikZ, I can use a \foreach loop to draw the stripes. | |
For example, for 13 stripes, each of height 1/13 unit, but since the flag is 1 unit high, each stripe would be 1/13 ≈ 0.0769 units high. | |
But that might be too thin to see, so perhaps I can make the flag larger or use fewer stripes. | |
Wait, another idea: since it's a cartoonish drawing, I can simplify the flag. | |
For instance, draw a rectangle with a blue field and some stars, and maybe just a few red stripes. | |
Alternatively, I can use the \fill command with a pattern for the stripes. | |
But TikZ doesn't have a built-in stripe pattern, so I'd have to draw them manually. | |
Let's try to draw, say, 7 stripes for visibility. | |
So, if the flag is from y=4.0 to y=5.0, that's 1 unit high, so each stripe could be 1/7 ≈ 0.1429 units high. | |
But actually, the American flag has 13 stripes, so perhaps I can draw 13 thin stripes. | |
For example, use \foreach \y in {0,0.0769,...,1} \draw[red] (0,4+\y) -- (1.5,4+\y); but that would be lines, not filled stripes. | |
To fill, I need to draw rectangles. | |
So, for even stripes, fill with red, for odd with white, or vice versa. | |
Actually, the flag starts with red at the top. | |
So, from y=4.0 to y=4.0769 red, then y=4.0769 to y=4.1538 white, and so on. | |
But since it's small, perhaps I can use a different approach. | |
Alternatively, I can draw the entire flag as a white rectangle, then draw red stripes on top, and then the blue field with stars. | |
Wait, actually, since the background is white, I can draw the red stripes and the blue field. | |
But in TikZ, it's better to draw filled shapes. | |
So, let's draw the red stripes first. | |
For example, \fill[red] (0,4) rectangle (1.5,4.0769); then (0,4.1538) rectangle (1.5,4.2307), and so on for the red stripes. | |
Similarly for the blue field, say from (0,4.5385) to (0.75,5.0), since the blue field covers the top 7 stripes. | |
Wait, actually, in the American flag, the blue field covers the top 7 stripes, so from y=4+(6/13) to y=5.0, since the stripes are numbered from 0 to 12, with stripe 0 at the top. | |
Wait, actually, the flag has stripes from top to bottom, with the blue field overlapping the first 7 stripes in the hoist side. | |
So, in my case, since the flag is from y=4 to y=5, the blue field would be from y=4 to y=4+(7/13), approximately y=4 to y=4.5385, and from x=0 to x=0.76*1.5 or something, but for simplicity, let's say from x=0 to x=0.75. | |
But actually, to make it look proportional, perhaps I can calculate the exact dimensions. | |
Alternatively, since it's a small flag, I can approximate. | |
Let's say the flag is 1.5 units wide and 1 unit high, with the blue field being 0.75 units wide and 0.5385 units high. | |
Then, for the stripes, I can draw 13 horizontal stripes, each 1/13 unit high, with red for stripes 0,2,4,6,8,10,12 and white for 1,3,5,7,9,11,12, but wait, actually, the flag has 7 red and 6 white stripes, with red at the top and bottom. | |
Wait, more precisely, there are 7 red stripes and 6 white stripes, alternating, starting with red. | |
So, stripe 0: red, stripe 1: white, stripe 2: red, etc., up to stripe 12: red. | |
But in the area where the blue field is, the stripes are covered. | |
So, to draw this, I can first draw the stripes across the entire width, then draw the blue field on top. | |
But since the blue field covers part of the stripes, I need to draw the stripes only in the area not covered by the blue field, and then draw the blue field. | |
Wait, actually, for the stripes, since the blue field is on the left, I can draw the stripes from x=0.75 to x=1.5 for all y, and from x=0 to x=0.75 only for y below the blue field, but since the blue field is from y=4 to y=4.5385, and the stripes are from y=4 to y=5, but wait, the blue field is from y=4+(6/13) to y=5, wait, actually, the blue field spans from the top to the 7th stripe, so from y=5 - (7/13) to y=5, but since the flag is from y=4 to y=5, the blue field is from y=4 to y=4 + (7/13), approximately y=4 to y=4.5385. | |
Wait, let's calculate: if the flag height is 1 unit, the blue field height is (7/13)*1 ≈ 0.5385 units, so from y=4 to y=4.5385. | |
Similarly, the width of the blue field is typically 0.76 times the hoist (height), but since the flag width is 1.9 times the height for the American flag, but in my case, quartet, let's say the flag is 1.5 units wide, so the blue field width could be 0.76*1 = 0.76 units, but since 1.5 > 0.76, I can make it 0.75 for simplicity. | |
So, to draw the flag: | |
Draw the red stripes from x=0 to x=1.5 for y=4 to y=4.0769, y=4.1538 to y=4.2307, etc., but actually, since the blue field covers x=0 to x=0.75 for y=4 to y=4.5385, I need to draw the stripes only from x=0.75 to x=1.5 for y=4 to y=5, and for y=4.5385 to y=5, draw the stripes from x=0 to x=1.5. | |
Wait, more precisely: | |
For y from 4 to 4.5385, draw red stripes from x=0.75 to x=1.5 for the appropriate y intervals. | |
For y from 4.5385 to 5, draw red stripes from x=0 to x=1.5 for the appropriate y intervals. | |
But since the stripes are horizontal, I can draw the entire stripe and then cover with the blue field. | |
But in TikZ, if I draw the stripes first, then the blue field on top, it will cover the stripes. | |
So, that's probably the easiest way. | |
So, first, draw all 13 stripes across the entire width, then draw the blue field on top, then add stars. | |
For the stripes, since there are 7 red and 6 white, but actually, the white stripes are not drawn since the background is white. | |
Wait, in TikZ, if I don't draw anything, it's transparent, but since it's a flag, I can assume the background is white, so I only need to draw the red stripes. | |
So, let's draw the red stripes at the appropriate y positions. | |
Specifically, the red stripes are at stripes 0,2,4,6,8,10,12, where stripe 0 is from y=4 to y=4+1/13, stripe 1 from y=4+1/13 to y=4+2/13, etc. | |
So, for i=0 to 6, draw red rectangle from y=4 + (2i)/13 to y=4 + (2i+1)/13. | |
Wait, actually, since the stripes are alternately red and white, with red at stripe 0,2,4, etc., but since there are 13 stripes, stripe 0: red, stripe 1: white, stripe 2: red, ..., stripe 12: red. | |
So, for i=0 to 6, stripe 2*i is red. | |
But each stripe has height 1/13, so from y=4 + k/13 to y=4 + (k+1)/13 for k=0 to 12, with red for even k. | |
Wait, yes, so for k even, draw red rectangle from (0,4 + k/13) to (1.5,4 + (k+1)/13). | |
Then, after drawing all red stripes, draw the blue field from (0,4) to (0.75,4.5385), approximately. | |
But to be precise, since the blue field covers the first 7 stripes, from y=4 to y=4 + 7/13. | |
So, \fill[blue] (0,4) rectangle (0.75,4 + 7/13); | |
Then, for the stars, I can add small white stars or dots. | |
For simplicity, perhaps just draw a few white circles. | |
For example, draw 5 stars in a row or something. | |
But actually, the American flag has 50 stars in 9 rows, alternating 6 and 5 stars, but that's too many for a small drawing. | |
So, perhaps I can draw, say, 3 rows of 4 stars or something similar. | |
Alternatively, since it's a cartoon, I can draw one big star or a few stars. | |
Let's say, draw 5 stars in a 3-2 pattern or something. | |
For example, at positions (0.15,4.1), (0.35,4.1), (0.55,4.1), and (0.25,4.3), (0.45,4.3), etc. | |
But to make it simple, I can use a \foreach loop to draw small white circles. | |
For instance, \foreach \x in {0.1,0.3,0.5} \foreach \y in {4.1,4.3,4.5} \fill[white] (\x,\y) circle (0.02); | |
But adjust the positions accordingly. | |
Alternatively, since the blue field is from y=4 to y=4.5385, I can place stars within that range. | |
Let's say, for example, draw stars at (0.2,4.1), (0.4,4.1), (0.6,4.1), and (0.3,4.3), (0.5,4.3), etc. | |
But perhaps it's sufficient to draw a few. | |
Now, to summarize the drawing steps: | |
Draw the stick: a vertical line from (0,2.0) to (0,4.0), say, with \draw[black, thick] (0,2.0) -- (0,4.0); | |
But actually, since the burger layers are up to y=2.5, and the curve is above, perhaps draw the stick from (0,1.0) to (0,4.0), and have it behind the layers. | |
Wait, to make it look like it's inserted, I can draw the stick first, then the burger layers on top, so that the stick is partially covered. | |
Alternatively, I can draw the stick after, but only the part above the burger. | |
For simplicity, let's draw the stick from (0,2.5) to (0,4.0), assuming it's sticking out from the top bun. | |
So, \draw[black, thick] (0,2.5) -- (0,4.0); | |
Then, attach the flag at (0,4.0). | |
Wait, actually, typically, the flag is attached to the side of the stick, so perhaps draw the flag to the right or left. | |
For example, from (0.1,4.0) to (1.6,4.5), say. | |
Wait, earlier I said from (0,4.0) to (1.5,4.5), but to make it look like it's attached to the stick, perhaps shift it slightly. | |
Alternatively, I can draw the flag with the stick going through it or beside it. | |
For simplicity, let's assume the flag is attached at (0,4.0), extending to the right. | |
So, now, to put it all together: | |
First, draw the burger: | |
Bottom bun: \fill[tan] (-2,0) rectangle (2,1); | |
Lettuce: \fill[green] (-2,1) rectangle (2,1.2); | |
Tomato: \fill[red] (-2,1.2) rectangle (2,1.4); | |
Cheese: \fill[yellow] (-2,1.4) rectangle (2,1.6); | |
Patty: \fill[brown] (-2,1.6) rectangle (2,2.0); | |
Top bun: \fill[tan] (-2,2.0) rectangle (2,2.5); then \fill[tan] (-2,2.5) .. controls (-1,3) and (1,3) .. (2,2.5) -- (2,2.0) -- (-2,2.0) -- cycle; | |
Wait, actually, to make the top bun a single filled shape, I can use \fill[tan] (-2,2.0) -- (-2,2.5) .. controls (-1,3) and (1,3) .. (2,2.5) -- (2,2.0) -- cycle; | |
But that would include the rectangle and the curve together. | |
Wait, more precisely, the path should be from (-2,2.0) to (-2,2.5), then curve to (2,2.5), then to (2,2.0), then back to (-2,2.0). | |
But in TikZ, the \fill command will fill the area enclosed by the path. | |
So, yes, \fill[tan] (-2,2.0) -- (-2,2.5) .. controls (-1,3) and (1,3) .. (2,2.5) -- (2,2.0) -- cycle; | |
That should work. | |
Alternatively, I can use a single path for the entire bun, but since the bottom is flat, it's fine. | |
Then, for the flag: | |
First, draw the red stripes. | |
Let's define the stripe height: h = 1/13 ≈ 0.0769. | |
Then, for k=0 to 6, \fill[red] (0,4 + 2kh) rectangle (1.5,4 + (2*k+1)*h); | |
Wait, actually, since the red stripes are at k=0,2,4,6,8,10,12, but since h=1/13, and the flag is from y=4 to y=5, so y=4 + i*h for i=0 to 13. | |
So, for i even, \fill[red] (0,4 + i*h) rectangle (1.5,4 + (i+1)*h); | |
Yes. | |
Then, draw the blue field: \fill[blue] (0,4) rectangle (0.75,4 + 7*h); | |
Since 7*h = 7/13 ≈ 0.5385, so from y=4 to y=4.5385. | |
Then, add stars: for example, \foreach \x in {0.1,0.3,0.5} \foreach \y in {4.1,4.2,4.3,4.4} \fill[white] (\x,\y) circle (0.02); | |
But adjust the positions to fit within the blue field. | |
Alternatively, since the blue field is small, perhaps just draw a few stars. | |
For instance, draw 9 stars in a 3x3 grid: \foreach \x in {0.15,0.35,0.55} \foreach \y in {4.05,4.25,4.45} \fill[white] (\x,\y) circle (0.02); | |
But y=4.05 to 4.45 is within y=4 to 4.5385. | |
Similarly for x. | |
Finally, draw the stick: \draw[black, thick] (0,2.5) -- (0,4.0); | |
But since the flag is from y=4.0 upwards, perhaps extend the stick to y=5.0 or so, but since the flag is attached at y=4.0, it's fine. | |
Wait, actually, typically, the stick goes up to the top of the flag or slightly above. | |
So, perhaps draw the stick from (0,2.5) to (0,5.0). | |
Moreover, to make it look better, I can add a small circle at the top of the stick or something, but for simplicity, just a line is fine. | |
Also, I should ensure that the flag is attached to the stick. | |
Perhaps draw the flag slightly overlapping the stick. | |
For example, make the flag from (-0.1,4.0) to (1.4,5.0), but since the stick is at x=0, and the flag is to the right, it's okay. | |
Alternatively, I can draw the flag with a small extension to the left to attach to the stick. | |
But for now, let's keep it simple. | |
So, to put it all together, here's a possible TikZ code: | |
\documentclass{article} | |
\usepackage{tikz} | |
\begin{document} | |
\begin{tikzpicture} | |
% Draw the stick | |
\draw[black, thick] (0,2.5) -- (0,4.0); | |
% Draw the burger | |
\fill[tan] (-2,0) rectangle (2,1); % bottom bun | |
\fill[green] (-2,1) rectangle (2,1.2); % lettuce | |
\fill[red] (-2,1.2) rectangle (2,1.4); % tomato | |
\fill[yellow] (-2,1.4) rectangle (2,1.6); % cheese | |
\fill[brown] (-2,1.6) rectangle (2,2.0); % patty | |
\fill[tan] (-2,2.0) -- (-2,2.5) .. controls (-1,3) and (1,3) .. (2,2.5) -- (2,2.0) -- cycle; % top bun | |
% Draw the flag | |
\def\h{0.0769} % approximately 1/13 | |
\foreach \k in {0,2,4,6,8,10,12} { | |
\fill[red] (0,4 + \k*\h) rectangle (1.5,4 + (\k+1)\h); | |
} | |
\fill[blue] (0,4) rectangle (0.75,4 + 7\h); | |
% Add stars | |
\foreach \x in {0.15,0.35,0.55} { | |
\foreach \y in {4.05,4.25,4.45} { | |
\fill[white] (\x,\y) circle (0.02); | |
} | |
} | |
\end{tikzpicture} | |
\end{document} | |
Wait, but in this code, the stick is drawn first, then the burger, so the stick will be behind the burger, which is fine if I want it to look like it's inserted. | |
But actually, since the stick is from y=2.5 to y=4.0, and the burger is up to y=2.5, it will appear to be on top. | |
Wait, no, since the burger is filled up to y=2.5, and the stick starts at y=2.5, it will be on top. | |
But to make it look like it's inserted, perhaps I can draw the stick from a lower y, say from y=1.5, and have it covered by the top layers. | |
For example, draw the stick from (0,1.5) to (0,4.0), then draw the burger layers on top, so that from y=1.5 to y=2.5, the stick is behind the layers. | |
But since the layers are filled, they will cover the stick. | |
However, in the code above, if I draw the stick first, then the burger, the burger will cover the stick where they overlap. | |
But in this case, since the stick is from y=2.5 to y=4.0, and the burger is up to y=2.5, there is no overlap, so the stick will be fully visible above y=2.5. | |
To make it look inserted, I can extend the stick downwards, say to y=0, but then it would be covered by the burger layers. | |
Alternatively, perhaps it's acceptable as is. | |
Another option is to draw the lower part of the stick, then the burger, then the upper part of the stick. | |
But that might be unnecessary. | |
For now, let's keep it simple. | |
Also, I should adjust the coordinates if needed. | |
Moreover, perhaps I can add some details, like sesame seeds on the top bun, but that's optional. | |
For the flag, I used approximate values for h, but in TikZ, it's better to use exact fractions. | |
Actually, since 1/13 is not a simple fraction, but in LaTeX, it can handle it. | |
Alternatively, I can define h as 1/13 exactly, using \def\h{0.0769230769230769}, but perhaps it's fine. | |
Wait, actually, in TikZ, I can use expressions, so I can set \def\h{1/13}, and then use \h in the coordinates, but since TikZ evaluates expressions, I can directly use 4 + \k/13, etc. | |
Wait, yes, in the \foreach loop, I can compute the y coordinates on the fly. | |
So, better to use exact fractions. | |
For example: | |
\foreach \k in {0,2,...,12} { | |
\fill[red] (0,4 + \k/13) rectangle (1.5,4 + (\k+1)/13); | |
} | |
Similarly for the blue field: \fill[blue] (0,4) rectangle (0.75,4 + 7/13); | |
And for the stars, I can adjust the positions accordingly. | |
Also, to make the stars look better, perhaps I can use the star shape, but for simplicity, circles are fine. | |
Alternatively, I can define a small star command. | |
But since it's a small detail, circles should suffice. | |
So, finally, the complete code would be: | |
\documentclass{article} | |
\usepackage{tikz} | |
\begin{document} | |
\begin{tikzpicture} | |
% Draw the stick | |
\draw[black, thick] (0,2.5) -- (0,4.0); | |
% Draw the burger | |
\fill[tan] (-2,0) rectangle (2,1); % bottom bun | |
\fill[green] (-2,1) rectangle (2,1.2); % lettuce | |
\fill[red] (-2,1.2) rectangle (2,1.4); % tomato | |
\fill[yellow] (-2,1.4) rectangle (2,1.6); % cheese | |
\fill[brown] (-2,1.6) rectangle (2,2.0); % patty | |
\fill[tan] (-2,2.0) -- (-2,2.5) .. controls (-1,3) and (1,3) .. (2,2.5) -- (2,2.0) -- cycle; % top bun | |
% Draw the flag | |
\foreach \k in {0,2,4,6,8,10,12} { | |
\fill[red] (0,4 + \k/13) rectangle (1.5,4 + (\k+1)/13); | |
} | |
\fill[blue] (0,4) rectangle (0.75,4 + 7/13); | |
% Add stars | |
\foreach \x in {0.15,0.35,0.55} { | |
\foreach \y in {4.05,4.25,4.45} { | |
\fill[white] (\x,\y) circle (0.02); | |
} | |
} | |
\end{tikzpicture} | |
\end{document} | |
Wait, but in this code, the flag is drawn from y=4 to y=5, but since the top of the bun is at y=2.5, and the stick is from y=2.5 to y=4.0, it might look a bit disconnected. | |
Perhaps I can lower the flag to make it closer to the burger. | |
For example, set the flag from y=3.0 to y=4.0, and adjust accordingly. | |
But then, the stick would be from y=2.5 to y=3.0, which is short. | |
Alternatively, I can scale the entire drawing or adjust the positions. | |
Another idea is to make the burger smaller or the flag larger, but for now, let's assume it's acceptable. | |
Also, to make the drawing more balanced, perhaps I can center it or add some background, but since the task is just to draw the burger with the flag, this should suffice. | |
So, I think this is a reasonable solution. | |
