I'm designing a diagram for a 1-D potential well. I'm struggling to correctly place my a label below the right hand line. I resorted to drawing an invisible line and positioning the node at the end. Further to this, how do I add grey shading to the area outside of the red lines?



Cheers

          Note that if you want to draw an invisible line, you should not use line width=0pt, because it is still greater that zero. Use path instead (in fact draw and path[draw] are the same):



          path (0,0) -- (2.5,0) node[below, black](a);
