I love the TikZcd syntax to draw diagrams, and I want to use it to draw diagrams of field extensions ; this involves drawing arrows without tips. The only command I know to draw lines in tikzcd environments is \ar (or \arrow if I write it out), and I don't know how to adjust the \ar command so that it just draws straight lines from point A to point B (recall it is used in the following way : \ar[options]{rd}[options]{$\phi$} to render an arrow which goes right-down and put the symbol $\phi$ next to the arrow.

I tried simply putting TikZ commands, but they seem to have no effect (even though it compiles for most of the commands I've tried).

Any ideas?

Section 1.2 of tikz-cd documentation details this; in particular, it sounds like you might want dash

screenshot

% arara: pdflatex
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz-cd}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzcd}
  A \arrow[dash]{r} & B
\end{tikzcd}
\end{document}

Following the comments, you can apply dash to every arrow for the current environment using

\begin{tikzcd}[every arrow/.append style={dash}]
  A \arrow{r} & B
\end{tikzcd}

  • Wow, how did I go through the whole document without seeing this. Thanks!

  • Do you know if I can make the [dash] option applied to the whole environment? Otherwise I have to type \ar[dash] all the time.

  • For some reason, this code is not working : \begin{tikzcd} K \arrow[dash]{d} \\ F \end{tikzcd}. I get the error "Package pgfkeys Error: I do not know the key '/tikz/dash' and I am going to i gnore it. Perhaps you misspelled it."

    @cmhughes instead of dash one can also simply use -, as in \begin{tikzcd}[every arrow/.append style={-}] A \arrow{r} & B \end{tikzcd} (apparently the dash option is not available for the OP's version of the package, but I guess - will be.)

Adding to the above: If you want more flexibility than the "dash" type arrow there is also the "no head" command which removes the head from any type of arrow.
