Using tikz inside multirow

Question

I'm trying to recreate the following figure in latex:

Now, I dont have a lot of a problem with one of them:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows,backgrounds}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} %utf-8 encoding
\usepackage{amssymb} %math symbols

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\begin{tikzpicture}[align=center,node distance=1cm]
\tikzstyle{vertex}=[circle,draw=black]
\tikzstyle{fluct}=[dotted]

\node[vertex] (v0) {};
\node[vertex] (v1) [right of = v0] {};
\node[vertex] (v2) [right of = v1] {};
\node[vertex] (v3) [below of = v0] {};
\node[vertex] (v4) [right of = v3] {};
\node[vertex] (v5) [right of = v4] {};

\node () [above of = v1] {Una realización};

\path[every node] 
  (v0) edge [] (v1)
  (v0) edge [] (v3)
  (v1) edge [] (v4)
  (v1) edge [fluct] (v2)
  (v2) edge [] (v5)
  (v4) edge [fluct] (v5);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

But not sure how to create the rest. I was thinking about copying and pasting them in a table. But multirow seems to not work giving a compilation error:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows,backgrounds}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} %utf-8 encoding
\usepackage{amssymb} %math symbols

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\begin{figure}

\begin{tabular}{cc}

\multirow{4}{*} {

\begin{tikzpicture}[align=center,node distance=1cm]
\tikzstyle{vertex}=[circle,draw=black]
\tikzstyle{fluct}=[dotted]

\node[vertex] (v0) {};
\node[vertex] (v1) [right of = v0] {};
\node[vertex] (v2) [right of = v1] {};
\node[vertex] (v3) [below of = v0] {};
\node[vertex] (v4) [right of = v3] {};
\node[vertex] (v5) [right of = v4] {};

\node () [above of = v1] {Una realización};

\path[every node] 
  (v0) edge [] (v1)
  (v0) edge [] (v3)
  (v1) edge [] (v4)
  (v1) edge [fluct] (v2)
  (v2) edge [] (v5)
  (v4) edge [fluct] (v5);
\end{tikzpicture}

}
\\
& a \\ & b \\ & c \\ & d
\end{tabular}
\end{figure}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Doing it all in one image makes me cringe because I have to number nodes manually again. How should I solve this problem?

Answer 1

If you want to repeat some tikzpicture or part of it, pics are a good option. Following code shows how to use them. A pic is declared to draw your original graph, and this pic is used inside several tikzpictures distributed within a tabular where fisrt column is a multirow.

As you can see, array pic only draws part of the graph which can be completed with labels or adding some more interconnection lines in each particular picture. As pic can have a name, you can later on use these names to draw some connections between them.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows,backgrounds,matrix, positioning}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} %utf-8 encoding
\usepackage{amssymb} %math symbols

\tikzset{
    vertex/.style={circle, fill=black},
    fluct/.style=dotted,
    array/.pic = {
        \foreach \i [count=\row] in {0,1}
            \foreach \j [count=\col] in {0,1,2,3}
                \node[vertex] (\row\col) at (\col,-\row) {};
        \draw (21)|-(13)|-(24)--(14);
        \draw (22)--(12);
    }
}
\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{cc}

\multirow{4}{*}[-1cm]{%
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture]
\pic (A) {array};
\path (A11) -- (A14) node[midway,above=3mm] {Una realización};
\draw[fluct] (A13)--(A14);
\end{tikzpicture}}
&
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture]
\pic (B) {array};
\path (B11) -- (B21) node[midway,left=3mm] {Una realización};
\draw[fluct] (B21)--(B22);
\end{tikzpicture}
\\
&
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture]
\pic (C) {array};
\path (C11) -- (C21) node[midway,left=3mm] {Una realización};
\draw[fluct] (C22)--(C23);
\end{tikzpicture}
\\
&
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture]
\pic (D) {array};
\path (D11) -- (D21) node[midway,left=3mm] {Una realización};
\draw[fluct] (D21)--(D23);
\end{tikzpicture}
\\
&
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture]
\pic (E) {array};
\path (E11) -- (E21) node[midway,left=3mm] {Una realización};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{tabular}

\tikz[remember picture, overlay] \draw[red,thick,->] (A12) to[out=30, in=60] (B13);
\end{document}
