When to use the to command in TikZ?
The syntax is the same as for the rectangle, we only use a different command in between the coordinates. The to command is used to specify a point of the path. Tikz usually draws straight lines between the points, in the picture below we can clearly see the lines are bent.
What can I use PGF / TikZ package for?
The package pgf/tikz can be used to create beautiful graphics, especially diagrams in LaTeX. It enables you to create vector graphics from within your document, without the need of external tools such as Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator and thus is much more flexible.
How do you draw a picture with TikZ?
We define the text to have black color and set the position to below our rectangle. Tikz can usually figure out the size of the rectangle automatically. Other than in plain LaTeX we have to terminate each command with a semicolon inside of the tikzpicture environment.
How to draw a picture with TikZ and PGF?
The syntax is the same as for the rectangle, we only use a different command in between the coordinates. The to command is used to specify a point of the path. Tikz usually draws straight lines between the points, in the picture below we can clearly see the lines are bent. This can be accomplished by setting the in and out angle in brackets.

Which is the most versatile element in TikZ?
The nodes are probably the most versatile elements in Tikz. We’ve already used one node in the introduction to add some text to the figure. In the next example nodes will be used to create a diagram. There are essentially three commands in this figure: A node definition, a node declaration and lines that join two nodes.
