I would like to be able to add an arbitrary edge to one of the graphs in tkz-berge. For example, in the graph below I want to add an edge between v0 and v4.

cycle graph

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{tkz-berge}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
  \GraphInit[vstyle=Normal];
  \grCycle[prefix=v,Math=true,RA=2]{10};
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

The tkz-berge documentation describes many \Edge... commands, but they all seem to be schemas for adding edges. I didn't see a command for adding a single, arbitrary edge.

I did try using the plain \Edge command from tkz-graph, guessing the automatically generated vertex label, but had no success. For example, I tried the following:

\Edge(0)(4);
\Edge($v_0$)($v_4$);

I suspect that under the hood there must be a command that's used by the various \Edge... commands to add a single edge.

EDIT Here's the final solution. The labelling scheme is, for example, vertex v_0 has the label v0.

\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{tkz-berge}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
  \GraphInit[vstyle=Normal];
  \grCycle[prefix=v,Math=true,RA=2]{10};
  \Edge(v0)(v4);
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

Something like this

OR

enter image description here

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{tkz-berge}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
  \GraphInit[vstyle=Shade]
  \grCycle[prefix=a,Math=true,RA=4]{10}%
  \EdgeInGraphFromOneToComp{a}{10}{0}
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

OR

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{tkz-berge}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
    \GraphInit[vstyle=Shade]
    \grCycle[prefix=a,Math=true,RA=4]{10}%
    \Edge[](a0)(a4)
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

  • The \EdgeInGraphFromOneToComp command draws edges from a vertex to all other vertices in the graph. I just want to draw a single edge. – mhwombat Nov 27 '19 at 14:20
  • from a0 to a4? as above edit – js bibra Nov 27 '19 at 14:21
  • Grand! Note that in my example, I'm using Math=true, so the vertices are labeled with subscripts. However, \Edge(v0)(v4); does the trick. – mhwombat Nov 27 '19 at 15:12
  • Glad to be of help--my first time being exposed to tikz-berge – js bibra Nov 27 '19 at 15:17
