TikZ: Why is “dimension too large”?












2















The following TikZ code works fine



begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1.0, xscale=0.010, yscale=0.10]  
draw[magenta,line width=1pt] plot coordinates {
(1,100.00) (2,99.29) (3,99.14) (4,98.65) (5,99.31)
(6,99.30) (7,99.70) (8,99.98) (9,98.88) (10,99.77)
(11,99.75) (12,99.88) (13,99.55) (14,100.15) (15,100.21)
...
(561,154.35) (562,154.60) (563,154.38) (564,156.64) (565,156.26)
(566,157.17) (567,157.78) (568,157.11) (569,154.20) (570,154.05)
(571,153.74) (572,154.54) (573,153.87) (574,154.95) (575,154.00)
};
end{tikzpicture}


The image is attached.



When I add one more line of data:



begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1.0, xscale=0.010, yscale=0.10]  
draw[magenta,line width=1pt] plot coordinates {
(1,100.00) (2,99.29) (3,99.14) (4,98.65) (5,99.31)
(6,99.30) (7,99.70) (8,99.98) (9,98.88) (10,99.77)
(11,99.75) (12,99.88) (13,99.55) (14,100.15) (15,100.21)
...
(561,154.35) (562,154.60) (563,154.38) (564,156.64) (565,156.26)

(576,153.82) (577,154.67) (578,155.36) (579,155.63) (580,152.95)
};
end{tikzpicture}


I get the error message "Dimension too large".

There are 580 pairs of numbers here, 116 lines of numbers.

What dimension has become too large? How do I add more lines?

Use x=0.010cm, y=0.10cm instead of xscale=0.010, yscale=0.10. The scale is only applied after the coordinate has been transformed into pt already and that is where you exceed maxdimen.
