I want to draw this using tikz package of latex.

I already write down the code for that. But the problem is that how could I input the sentence Happing Now within the picture.

My code is

begin{frame}{Frame Title}

begin{figure}

  centering

  begin{tikzpicture}

 draw[thick][->](0,0) to (4,0);

  draw[thick][->](2,1.5) to (4,0.5);

  draw[thick][loosely dotted](4,0) to (5,0);

  end{tikzpicture}

  caption{Timeline}

  label{fig:my_label1}

end{figure}

end{frame}

You can place a node at the appropriate point, if you replace the to syntax with a --:

Notes:

• You don't need to use for each option.

Code:

documentclass{article}

usepackage{tikz}



begin{document}

 begin{tikzpicture}

 draw[thick, ->] (0,0) to (4,0);

  draw[thick, ->]  (2,1.5) -- (4,0.5) node [pos=0, anchor=east] {Happening Now};

  draw[thick, loosely dotted] (4,0) to (5,0);

  end{tikzpicture}

end{document}

You can put a node at the beginning of the upper arrow.

documentclass{article}

usepackage{tikz}



begin{document}



  begin{tikzpicture}

  draw[thick, ->] (0,0) to (4,0) ;

  draw[thick, ->]  (2,1.5) node [anchor=east] {Happing Now}  to (4,0.5);

  draw[thick, loosely dotted](4,0) to (5,0);

  end{tikzpicture}



  end{document}

As suggested by @nidhin:

documentclass[tikz,border=0.5cm]{standalone}

begin{document}

 begin{tikzpicture}

 draw[thick][->](0,0) to (4,0);

  draw[thick][->](2,1.5)node[left]{Happing now} to (4,0.5);

  draw[thick][loosely dotted](4,0) to (5,0);

  end{tikzpicture}

end{document}

Using one command as my previous answer. Don't use a to path if you don't have different angles for in and out, just -- or edge.

documentclass{article}

usepackage{tikz}    

begin{document}



begin{tikzpicture}[thick]

 path[->] (0,0) edge (4,0) (2,1.5)node[label=left:Happening Now]{} edge (4,0.5) (4,0) edge[loosely dotted,-] (5,0);

end{tikzpicture}



end{document}

based on answer on the your previous question:

documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}

usepackage{tikz}



begin{document}



begin{figure}

 centering

 begin{tikzpicture}[thick]

 draw[->]  (0,0) edge (4,0)

            (2,3) node[left] {Happing Now} -- (4,1);

 draw[thick][loosely dotted] (4,0) -- (5,0);

 end{tikzpicture}

 caption{Timeline}

 label{fig:my_label1}

end{figure}



end{document}
