Please could you tell me if the Probability tree posted on 2006-12-14 by Kjell Magne Fauske can be done with three branches instead of just two.

4Welcome to TeX.sx! Do you mean this tree texample.net/tikz/examples/probability-tree? Exactly where do you want to add branches? You may want to add some example code to your question.– N.N.Dec 24, 2011 at 21:47

Yes, I do, that is the exact example. Instead of two branches coming off the first node (Bag 1) I want three.– XYZDec 24, 2011 at 21:56

- To add another "Bag 2" branch, add another
node[bag]
structure. - To add another end branch, add another
child { node[end] {}}
to anode[bag]
structure.
You can merely copy and paste the right parts to achieve it.
Here is a simplified example of http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/probability-tree/ where another of each sorts of branches has been added:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{trees}
\begin{document}
% Set the overall layout of the tree
\tikzstyle{level 1}=[level distance=3.5cm, sibling distance=3.5cm]
\tikzstyle{level 2}=[level distance=3.5cm, sibling distance=2cm]
% Define styles for bags and leafs
\tikzstyle{bag} = [text width=4em, text centered]
\tikzstyle{end} = [circle, minimum width=3pt,fill, inner sep=0pt]
\begin{tikzpicture}[grow=right, sloped]
\node[bag] {Bag 1}
child {
node[bag] {Bag 2}% This is the first of three "Bag 2"
child {
node[end] {}
}
child {
node[end] {}
}
}
child {
node[bag] {Bag 2}
child {
node[end] {}
}
child {
node[end] {}
}
}
child {
node[bag] {Bag 2}
child {% Here are three children, hence three end branches
node[end] {}
}
child {
node[end] {}
}
child {
node[end] {}
}
};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Can this be done till the second step (where it says bag 2) only? I'm trying so much time and it constantly collapses.– Y_grOct 28, 2015 at 17:14

can you do it so that on the second step all three have 3 branches Aug 10, 2019 at 20:44
