I was wondering why predefined patterns like dashed, dotted, thick, etc., do not scaled when scaling the complete tikzpicture environment.

Minimal Example:

\documentclass{beamer} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} \begin{figure} \begin{tikzpicture}[transform shape, scale=.3] \draw[very thick, dashed] (0,0) -- (10, 0); \end{tikzpicture} \end{figure} \begin{figure} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[very thick, dashed] (0,0) -- (10, 0); \end{tikzpicture} \end{figure} \end{document}

The scale parameter only scales the coordinates. In order to scale the whole environment you have to use scalebox or resizeobox

\documentclass{beamer} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} \begin{figure} \scalebox{0.3}{% \begin{tikzpicture}[transform shape] \draw[very thick, dashed] (0,0) -- (10, 0); \end{tikzpicture} } \end{figure} \begin{figure} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[very thick, dashed] (0,0) -- (10, 0); \end{tikzpicture} \end{figure} \end{document}
