Trapezoid box width changes beyond bounds

I have made a flowchart in Tikz, where for the trapezoid (in/output) box I used the following command:



usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{shapes.geometric, arrows}
tikzstyle{io} = [trapezium, trapezium left angle=70, trapezium right angle=110, minimum width=3cm, minimum height=1cm, text centered, text width=3cm, draw=black, fill=blue!30]


The problem here is, I think, the text width parameter, because if I remove that the output box (see pictures) is fine, but the lines on the input are not wide enough. I call the output trapezoid as follows:



node (out1) [io, below of=pro3, yshift=-0.5cm, xshift=0.5] {Output result};


Resulting in an overly wide trapezoid, well beyond the required minimum of 3cm.



Changing the command to



node (out1) [io, below of=pro3, yshift=-0.5cm, xshift=0.5] {Output result\~};


i.e. adding a linebreak and a non-breaking space sets the width of the trapezoid correctly, but that now has a pointless empty line, which makes the text no longer vertically centred in the box.



How can I get this second trapezoid to be of the correct (3cm) width, without forcing an empty line into it?

  • Thanks! That helped. Out of curiosity, why does this help, and why can't I set streches in the tikzstyle, whereas it works in tikzset? Basically I just followed this tutorial and adapted that to my needs

    @Adriaan You can use tikzstyle, i.e. tikzstyle{io} = [trapezium, trapezium left angle=70, trapezium right angle=110, minimum width=3cm, minimum height=1cm, text centered, text width=3cm, draw=black, fill=blue!30,trapezium stretches=true] works. However, it is recommended to switch to tikzset.
