# Text outside vertex tkz-berge

I have just started working with the tkz-berge package, I am trying to draw a network flow problem, I have this so far:

\documentclass[a4paper,oneside,article]{memoir}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows,%
petri,%
topaths}%
\usepackage{tkz-berge}

\begin{document}

\chapter*{Network Flow Problem}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.75,transform shape]

\Vertex{3}
\Vertex[x=0,y=-3]{1}
\Vertex[x=2,y=-1.5]{2}
\Vertex[x=4,y=-1]{5}
\Vertex[x=4,y=-3]{4}
\Vertex[x=6,y=-1.5]{8}
\Vertex[x=8,y=0]{6}
\Vertex[x=8,y=-3]{7}

\tikzstyle{EdgeStyle}=[post,dotted]
\Edge[label=0](1)(3)
\Edge[label=1](3)(6)
\Edge[label=1](6)(8)
\Edge[label=3](2)(1)
\Edge[label=0](8)(7)

\tikzstyle{EdgeStyle}=[post]
\Edge[label=0](3)(2)
\Edge[label=2](2)(5)
\Edge[label=2](5)(4)
\Edge[label=3](8)(5)
\Edge[label=1](4)(1)
\Edge[label=4](7)(4)
\Edge[label=1](7)(6)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}


And it looks just the way I want it, but I need to get the capacity of each node next to it i.e. b_{3} = 2 NW of vertex 3, I have been reading the documentation, but can't find anything on it.

So can it be done, if so how? Thanks in advance

P.S. If anyone have a better idea for what package to use to draw graphs like this in general, your advice is surely welcome.

It seems that the tkz-berge package has no provisions for two labels per node. But one can use tikz commands to add more of them, using e.g. a command

\extralabel[optional distance]{angle}{new label}{node name}


defined as

\newcommand\extralabel[4][0mm]{\node[label={[label distance=#1]#2:#3}] at (#4){};}


\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows,%
petri,%
topaths}%
\usepackage{tkz-berge}
\begin{document}

\newcommand\extralabel[4][0mm]{\node[label={[label distance=#1]#2:#3}] at (#4){};}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.75,transform shape]

\Vertex{3}            \extralabel  {45}{$b_{3}=2$}{3}
\Vertex[x=0,y=-3]{1}  \extralabel{-135}{$b_{1}=0$}{1}
\Vertex[x=2,y=-1.5]{2}\extralabel[1mm]{-90}{$b_{2}=0$}{2}
\Vertex[x=4,y=-1]{5}
\Vertex[x=4,y=-3]{4}
\Vertex[x=6,y=-1.5]{8}
\Vertex[x=8,y=0]{6}
\Vertex[x=8,y=-3]{7}

\tikzstyle{EdgeStyle}=[post,dotted]
\Edge[label=0](1)(3)
\Edge[label=1](3)(6)
\Edge[label=1](6)(8)
\Edge[label=3](2)(1)
\Edge[label=0](8)(7)

\tikzstyle{EdgeStyle}=[post]
\Edge[label=0](3)(2)
\Edge[label=2](2)(5)
\Edge[label=2](5)(4)
\Edge[label=3](8)(5)
\Edge[label=1](4)(1)
\Edge[label=4](7)(4)
\Edge[label=1](7)(6)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}


• Thanks alot, i decided to take a different approach, but this works a charm :-) – Steffen Hvid Nov 14 '16 at 11:56
