How to draw a shape like file archives? [duplicate]

Section 102.5.3 Command for Declaring New Shapes of the pgf manual contains an example declaring a document shape similar to the one you requested. Adding a double copy shadow to this shape gives you the desired result.

The code (adjust the settings according to your needs):

\documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{shadows} \makeatletter \pgfdeclareshape{document}{ \inheritsavedanchors[from=rectangle] % this is nearly a rectangle \inheritanchorborder[from=rectangle] \inheritanchor[from=rectangle]{center} \inheritanchor[from=rectangle]{north} \inheritanchor[from=rectangle]{south} \inheritanchor[from=rectangle]{west} \inheritanchor[from=rectangle]{east} % ... and possibly more \backgroundpath{% this is new % store lower right in xa/ya and upper right in xb/yb \southwest \pgf@xa=\pgf@x \pgf@ya=\pgf@y \northeast \pgf@xb=\pgf@x \pgf@yb=\pgf@y % compute corner of ‘‘flipped page’’ \pgf@xc=\pgf@xb \advance\pgf@xc by-7.5pt % this should be a parameter \pgf@yc=\pgf@yb \advance\pgf@yc by-7.5pt % construct main path \pgfpathmoveto{\pgfpoint{\pgf@xa}{\pgf@ya}} \pgfpathlineto{\pgfpoint{\pgf@xa}{\pgf@yb}} \pgfpathlineto{\pgfpoint{\pgf@xc}{\pgf@yb}} \pgfpathlineto{\pgfpoint{\pgf@xb}{\pgf@yc}} \pgfpathlineto{\pgfpoint{\pgf@xb}{\pgf@ya}} \pgfpathclose % add little corner \pgfpathmoveto{\pgfpoint{\pgf@xc}{\pgf@yb}} \pgfpathlineto{\pgfpoint{\pgf@xc}{\pgf@yc}} \pgfpathlineto{\pgfpoint{\pgf@xb}{\pgf@yc}} \pgfpathlineto{\pgfpoint{\pgf@xc}{\pgf@yc}} } } \makeatother \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \node[ shape=document, double copy shadow={ shadow xshift=-0.5ex, shadow yshift=-0.5ex }, draw, fill=white, line width=1pt, text width=1cm, minimum height=1.7cm ] {}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} 

If this is to be used many times, you can define a style to simplify the code.

Here is one solution. If you want to reuse it many times you can put it in a pic.

\usetikzlibrary{shadings} \usetikzlibrary{shadows} \begin{tikzpicture} \foreach \i in {1,2,3} { \begin{scope}[shift={(.2*\i,.2*\i)}] \draw[bottom color=black!7, top color=white, drop shadow={shadow xshift=-.4ex}] (0,0) -- ++(3,0) -- ++(0,3) -- ++(-1,1) -- ++(-2,0) -- cycle; \draw (3,3) -| (2,4); \end{scope} } \end{tikzpicture}
