How to align the top of the text with the top of a figure produced by tikz in minipage












1















How to align the top of the figure produced by tikz with the top of a text positioned next to it. Both the figure and the text are encapsulated by a minipage each. I just got an approximate but totally manual effect using vspace at the end of theminipage that contains the figure.



Align top of the text and figure



documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz, lipsum}
begin{document}
begin{minipage}{1textwidth}
fbox{
begin{minipage}{0.8textwidth}
%hspace{.002in}
%noindent
textsf{vspace{.3in}\}
setlengthparindent{5pt}
begin{minipage}{.5textwidth}
textsf{fontsize{10}{6}selectfont lipsum[1]}
end{minipage}
setlengthparindent{9pt}
begin{minipage}{.5textwidth}
begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.5]
draw [help lines] (0,0) grid (8,17);
end{tikzpicture}
vspace{1.17in}
end{minipage}
end{minipage}
}
end{minipage}
end{document}

          You can use a combination of adjustbox with the valign option and the TikZ baseline option. Also I think you're using too many minipages. I have stripped some of them off.



          documentclass{article}
          usepackage{adjustbox, tikz, lipsum}
          begin{document}

          fbox{%
          begin{adjustbox}{valign=T,minipage=.5textwidth}
          textsf{fontsize{10}{6}selectfont lipsum[1]}
          end{adjustbox}%
          hspace{1em}%
          begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.5,baseline={(current bounding box.north)}]
          draw [help lines] (0,0) grid (8,17);
          end{tikzpicture}%
          }

          end{document}
