How to move the pgf-spectra boxes in a TikZ
I am trying to draw a diagram that looks approximately like this:
The red boxes are the items I would like to add to the diagram. They represent spectra lines that can be generated using the pgf-spectra
package (https://ctan.org/pkg/pgf-spectra?lang=en). When I try to use a scope to move the box like in my not working example below, the spectra box is not moved. I was wondering if it were possible to move the spectra boxes at all, either in the document or by changing code in the package .sty
files
My MNWE:
documentclass{standalone}
usepackage{tikz}
usepackage{pgf-spectra}
usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathmorphing}
tikzset{snake it/.style={decorate, decoration=snake}}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw[-latex] (0,0) ++ (60:1.5) arc (60:120:1.5);
draw[-latex] (0,0) ++ (-120:1.5) arc (-120:-60:1.5);
draw[snake it,blue,-latex,thick] (0,1) -- (-4,1);
draw[snake it,red,-latex,thick] (0,-1) -- (-4,-1);
draw[snake it,-latex,thick] (-1,0) -- (-4,0);
draw[fill=yellow!50] (0,0) circle (1);
% -- this part below is what I want to move but it does not behave correctly
begin{scope}{xshift=-4cm,yshift=1cm}
pgfspectra[width=5cm]
end{scope}
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
Here is the output it renders:
tikz-pgf

The package is actually nesting tikzpictures which may explain odd behavior.

So one fix would be to use thepgfspectra
as the main one and do all the rest of my drawing with respect to the zero point thatpgfspectra
sets? If that's the case, in my original question I wanted multiplepgfspectra
bars at different locations in the one tikzpicture, is that possible?
