The following is the Cayley graph , where is the additive group of the vector space (where is the field of three elements), and . \begin{tikzpicture} \tikzset{VertexStyle/.style={draw,rectangle}} \grEmptyCycle*[rotation=90,prefix=a,RA=2,Math]{{(1,2)},{(0,0)},{(2,1)}} \grEmptyCycle*[rotation=90,prefix=b,RA=4.5,Math]{(2,0),(1,0),(1,1),(0,1),(0,2),(2,2)} \EdgeInGraphLoop{b}{6} \SetUpEdge[style={bend right=10}] \EdgeDoubleMod{a}{3}{0}{1}{b}{6}{1}{2}{3} \EdgeDoubleMod{a}{3}{0}{1}{b}{6}{2}{2}{3} \SetUpEdge[style={bend left=10}] \EdgeDoubleMod{a}{3}{0}{1}{b}{6}{4}{2}{3} \EdgeDoubleMod{a}{3}{0}{1}{b}{6}{5}{2}{3} \end{tikzpicture} See… Continue Reading →

The purpose of the new package graphiso.sty is to use tkz-graph to produce an animation of a graph isomorphism in a beamer presentation, such as: You can find documentation and code at Github: rvf0068/graphiso.sty. See also: Original Source by Rafael

\begin{tikzpicture} \begin{scope}[rotate=90] \grIcosahedral[form=1,RA=3,RB=1.5] \SetUpEdge[color=white,style={double=black,double distance=2pt}] \EdgeInGraphLoop{a}{6} \EdgeFromOneToSel{a}{b}{0}{1,5} \Edges(a2,b1,b3,b5,a4) \Edge(a3)(b3) \Edges(a1,b1,b5,a5) \Edges(a2,b3,a4) \end{scope} \end{tikzpicture} See also: Original Source by Rafael

This post is an update for this post from my old blog, which did not work with the newer versions of tkz-berge. The changes are: instead of \tikzstyle{every node} = [node distance=1.5cm] one now has to use the macro: \SetGraphUnit{1.5},… Continue Reading →

For drawing some extra edges in a grid I used the following code: \begin{tikzpicture} \newcounter{xp} \newcounter{yp} \grGrid[prefix=a,RA=2,RB=2]{6}{6} \foreach \x in {0,2,4}{% \foreach \y in {1,3}{% \setcounter{xp}{\x} \setcounter{yp}{\y} \stepcounter{xp} \stepcounter{yp} \Edge(a\x;\y)(a\thexp;\theyp) } } \end{tikzpicture} For some reason the following code does… Continue Reading →

I’m using the new rotation option for cycles to define a macro that draws a flower snark. The macro has as optional arguments the radius RA, RB, and RC of the three types of vertices, and a mandatory argument which… Continue Reading →

\grEmptyCycle and \grCycle can also have options x and y, that set the coordinates of the center of the cycle, or r and d for polar coordinates (r is the radius and d the angle). Here we use these options… Continue Reading →

Finally, the much expected new versions (1.00 c) of tzk-graph and tkz-berge were released by Alain Matthes last week, and can be downloaded from Altermundus download zone. I expect to post several examples using the new capabilities of the packages…. Continue Reading →

The vertices that tkz-berge draws are regular named TikZ nodes, and so they can be used if one wants unusual edges. Update: I added four more lines, to show that one can also use the node names provided by tkz-berge,… Continue Reading →

The macro \EdgeDoubleMod is convenient when drawing some complicated graphs. Consider the following picture of the line graph of the Petersen graph. produced by: \begin{tikzpicture} \SetVertexNormal[MinSize=12pt] \tikzset{VertexStyle/.append style= {inner sep=0pt,font=\footnotesize\sffamily}} \begin{scope}[rotate=-90] \grCirculant[RA=0.6,prefix=a]{5}{2} \end{scope} \begin{scope}[rotate=-18] \grEmptyCycle[RA=1.5,prefix=b]{5}{2} \end{scope} \begin{scope}[rotate=18] \grCycle[RA=2.5,prefix=c]{5} \end{scope} \EdgeIdentity{a}{b}{5}… Continue Reading →

UPDATE: This example no longer works with the latest versions of tkz-graph and tkz-berge.

I stumbled upon a piece of software called KtikZ. The screenshot in that page, together with the fact that Doc-View mode is included in the new Emacs 23, inspired me to try that idea with tikz2pdf. With help from folks… Continue Reading →

Alain Matthes has produced a package (tkz-berge.sty) which should become THE way to draw graphs in LaTeX. It is built on top of Tikz, and so can be easily integrated with beamer presentations. The package can be dowloaded from here,… Continue Reading →
