Hello,
Thanks for the reply. I know about this, but I am looking for a way
to give the size in the same kind of coordinates we use for other
graphics objects, and not coordinates that depend on the plot range.
Consider the following example:
A = Text[Style["A", FontSize -> Scaled[0.4]], {0.5, 0}]
circle1 = Circle[{0, 0}, 1]
circle2 = Circle[{-2, 0}, 1/2]
These two graphics look different even though they contain the same
objects:
Graphics[{circle1, A}, Axes -> True]
Graphics[{circle1, circle2, A}, Axes -> True]
I would like to fix the size of that letter "A" in a flexible way, so
that I won't have to keep the PlotRange constant in order to keep the
relative size of the text and circle constant.
