In graph theory, models and drawings often consist mostly of vertices, edges, and labels. So, it may be possible to use a simpler language to generate a diagram of a graph.
The tkz-graph package offers a convenient interface. We will create a diagram with it as follows:
Begin with any document class:
\documentclass{standalone}Load the
tkz-graphpackage:\usepackage{tkz-graph}Specify a basic style:
\GraphInit[vstyle = Shade]
Customize element styles as desired using standard TikZ syntax:
\tikzset{ LabelStyle/.style = { rectangle, rounded corners, draw, minimum width = 2em, fill = yellow!50, text = red, font = \bfseries }, VertexStyle/.append style = { inner sep=5pt, font = \Large\bfseries}, EdgeStyle/.append style = {->, bend left} }Begin the document:
\begin{document}Start a
