Hi all, I would like to make a flowchart in which one shape (FLOWcell) is essentially bigger than the other shapes (in fact it should occupy the space for two ordinary shapes). Now I made two flowcharts; one consists of the one bigger shape, while the other consists of the remaining shapes (of which two are invisible because their shape is defined as `node'). My idea is to put one flowchart on top of the other. Is this possible? And if it is, how should I do this? B.t.w. using `offset=overlay' in \setupFLOWcharts gives a syntax error. Sytse Knypstra

Thank you Hans. The remaining problem is that the bigger shape is scaled down to the size of the smaller shapes.

Hi Sytse,
The remaining problem is that the bigger shape is scaled down to the size of the smaller shapes.
I see, you need a shape that spans n cells. I must figure out a way to extend the flow charter with that (i.e. a kind of virtual shape, where the lines are still drawn from separate nodes, something: \startFLOWspan \name{Obs} \location{1,1} \shape{action} \text{{\bf observations}} \stopFLOWspan so let's put that on the todo list ... (remind me in a while, i need to print the modules and look into it) For the moment, you can do something: \startFLOWchart[Observations] % The bigger shape \setupFLOWcharts [nx=3, ny=2, dx=40pt, dy=25pt, breedte=260pt, hoogte=130pt] \startFLOWcell \name{Obs} \location{1,1} \shape{action} \text{{\bf observations}} \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart \startFLOWchart[Parameters] % The smaller shapes \setupFLOWcharts [nx=5, ny=2, dx=40pt, dy=25pt, breedte=110pt, hoogte=130pt] ... you need to fix the widths and distances (some kind of larger grid) but since calculations is part of your profession i leave that to you -) (you can use \dimexpr for that) Hans
