+\section{To Path Library}
+\label{library-to-paths}
+
+\begin{tikzlibrary}{topaths}
+ This library provides predefined to paths for use with the |to| path
+ operation. After loading this package, you can say for instance |to [loop]|
+ to add a loop to a node.
+
+ This library is loaded automatically by \tikzname, so you do not need to
+ load it yourself.
+\end{tikzlibrary}
+
+
+\subsection{Straight Lines}
+
+The following style installs a to path that is simply a straight line from the
+start coordinate to the target coordinate.
+
+\begin{key}{/tikz/line to}
+ Causes a straight line to be added to the path upon a |to| or an |edge|
+ operation.
+ %
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\tikz {\draw (0,0) to[line to] (1,0);}
+\end{codeexample}
+ %
+\end{key}
+
+
+\subsection{Move-Tos}
+
+The following style installs a to path that simply ``jumps'' to the target
+coordinate.
+
+\begin{key}{/tikz/move to}
+ Causes a move to be added to the path upon a |to| or an |edge| operation.
+ %
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\tikz \draw (0,0) to[line to] (1,0)
+ to[move to] (2,0) to[line to] (3,0);
+\end{codeexample}
+ %
+\end{key}
+
+
+\subsection{Curves}
+
+The |curve to| style causes the to path to be set to a curve. The exact way
+this curve looks can be influenced via a number of options.
+
+\begin{key}{/tikz/curve to}
+ Specifies that the |to path| should be a curve. This curve will leave the
+ start coordinate at a certain angle, which can be specified using the |out|
+ option. It reaches the target coordinate also at a certain angle, which is
+ specified using the |in| option. The control points of the curve are at a
+ certain distance that is computed in different ways, depending on which
+ options are set.
+
+ All of the following options implicitly cause the |curve to| style to be
+ installed.
+
+ \begin{key}{/tikz/out=\meta{angle}}
+ The angle at which the curve leaves the start coordinate. If the start
+ coordinate is a node, the start coordinate is the point on the border
+ of the node at the given \meta{angle}. The control point will, thus,
+ lie at a certain distance in the direction \meta{angle} from the start
+ coordinate.
+ %
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\begin{tikzpicture}[out=45,in=135]
+ \draw (0,0) to (1,0)
+ (0,0) to (2,0)
+ (0,0) to (3,0);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{codeexample}
+ \end{key}
+ %
+ \begin{key}{/tikz/in=\meta{angle}}
+ The angle at which the curve reaches the target coordinate.
+ \end{key}
+
+ \begin{key}{/tikz/relative=\meta{true or false} (default true)}
+ This option tells \tikzname\ whether the |in| and |out| angles should
+ be considered absolute or relative. Absolute means that an |out| angle
+ of 30$^\circ$ means that the curve leaves the start coordinate at an
+ angle of 30$^\circ$ relative to the paper (unless, of course, further
+ transformations have been installed). A \emph{relative} angle is, by
+ comparison, measured relative to a straight line from the start
+ coordinate to the target coordinate. Thus, a relative angle of
+ 30$^\circ$ means that the curve will bend to the left from the line
+ going straight from the start to the target. For the target, the
+ relative coordinate is measured in the same manner, namely relative to
+ the line going from the start to the target. Thus, an angle of
+ 150$^\circ$ means that the curve will reach target coming slightly from
+ the left.
+ %
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\begin{tikzpicture}[out=45,in=135,relative]
+ \draw (0,0) to (1,0)
+ to (2,1)
+ to (2,2);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{codeexample}
+
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\begin{tikzpicture}[out=90,in=90,relative]
+ \node [circle,draw] (a) at (0,0) {a};
+ \node [circle,draw] (b) at (1,1) {b};
+ \node [circle,draw] (c) at (2,2) {c};
+
+ \path (a) edge (b)
+ edge (c);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{codeexample}
+ \end{key}
+
+ \begin{key}{/tikz/bend left=\meta{angle} (default \normalfont last value)}
+ This option sets |out=|\meta{angle}|,in=|$180-\meta{angle}$|,relative|.
+ If no \meta{angle} is given, the last given |bend left| or |bend right|
+ angle is used.
+ %
+\begin{codeexample}[preamble={\usetikzlibrary{automata,positioning}}]
+\begin{tikzpicture}[shorten >=1pt,node distance=2cm,on grid]
+ \node[state,initial] (q_0) {$q_0$};
+ \node[state] (q_1) [right=of q_0] {$q_1$};
+ \node[state,accepting](q_2) [right=of q_1] {$q_2$};
+
+ \path[->] (q_0) edge node [above] {0} (q_1)
+ edge [loop above] node {1} ()
+ edge [bend left] node [above] {1} (q_2)
+ edge [bend right] node [below] {0} (q_2)
+ (q_1) edge node [above] {1} (q_2);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{codeexample}
+
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+ \foreach \angle in {0,45,...,315}
+ \node[rectangle,draw=black!50] (\angle) at (\angle:2) {\angle};
+
+ \foreach \from/\to in {0/45,45/90,90/135,135/180,
+ 180/225,225/270,270/315,315/0}
+ \path (\from) edge [->,bend right=22,looseness=0.8] (\to)
+ edge [<-,bend left=22,looseness=0.8] (\to);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{codeexample}
+ \end{key}
+
+ \begin{key}{/tikz/bend right=\meta{angle} (default \normalfont last value)}
+ Works like the |bend left| option, only the bend is to the other side.
+ \end{key}
+
+ \begin{key}{/tikz/bend angle=\meta{angle}}
+ Sets the angle to be used by the |bend left| or |bend right|, but
+ without actually selecting the |curve to| or the |relative| option.
+ This is useful for globally specifying a |bend angle| for a whole
+ picture.
+ \end{key}
+
+ \begin{key}{/tikz/looseness=\meta{number} (initially 1)}
+ This number specifies how ``loose'' the curve will be. In detail, the
+ following happens: \tikzname\ computes the distance between the start
+ and the target coordinate (if the start and/or target coordinate are
+ nodes, the distance is computed between the points on their border).
+ This distance is then multiplied by a fixed factor and also by the
+ factor \meta{number}. The resulting distance, let us call it $d$, is
+ then used as the distance of the control points from the start and
+ target coordinates.
+
+ The fixed factor has been chosen in such a way that if \meta{number} is
+ |1|, if the |in| and |out| angles differ by 90$\circ$, then a quarter
+ circle results:
+ %
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\tikz \draw (0,0) to [out=0,in=-90] (1,1);
+\tikz \draw (0,0) to [out=0,in=-90,looseness=0.5] (1,1);
+\end{codeexample}
+ \end{key}
+
+ \begin{key}{/tikz/out looseness=\meta{number}}
+ Specifies the looseness factor for the out distance only.
+ \end{key}
+
+ \begin{key}{/tikz/in looseness=\meta{number}}
+ Specifies the looseness factor for the in distance only.
+ \end{key}
+ %
+ \begin{key}{/tikz/min distance=\meta{distance}}
+ If the computed distance for the start and target coordinates are below
+ \meta{distance}, then \meta{distance} is used instead.
+ \end{key}
+ %
+ \begin{key}{/tikz/max distance=\meta{distance}}
+ If the computed distance for the start and target coordinates are above
+ \meta{distance}, then \meta{distance} is used instead.
+ \end{key}
+ %
+ \begin{key}{/tikz/out min distance=\meta{distance}}
+ The minimum distance set only for the start coordinate.
+ \end{key}
+ %
+ \begin{key}{/tikz/out max distance=\meta{distance}}
+ The maximum distance set only for the start coordinate.
+ \end{key}
+ %
+ \begin{key}{/tikz/in min distance=\meta{distance}}
+ The minimum distance set only for the target coordinate.
+ \end{key}
+ %
+ \begin{key}{/tikz/in max distance=\meta{distance}}
+ The maximum distance set only for the target coordinate.
+ \end{key}
+ %
+ \begin{key}{/tikz/distance=\meta{distance}}
+ Set the minimum and maximum distance to the same value \meta{distance}.
+ Note that this causes any computed distance $d$ to be ignored and
+ \meta{distance} to be used instead.
+ %
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\begin{tikzpicture}[out=45,in=135,distance=1cm]
+ \draw (0,0) to (1,0)
+ (0,0) to (2,0)
+ (0,0) to (3,0);
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{codeexample}
+ %
+ \end{key}
+ %
+ \begin{key}{/tikz/out distance=\meta{distance}}
+ Sets the minimum and maximum out distance.
+ \end{key}
+ %
+ \begin{key}{/tikz/in distance=\meta{distance}}
+ Sets the minimum and maximum in distance.
+ \end{key}
+ %
+ \begin{key}{/tikz/out control=\meta{coordinate}}
+ This option causes the \meta{coordinate} to be used as the start
+ control point. All computations of $d$ are ignored. You can use a
+ coordinate like |+(1,0)| to specify a point relative to the start
+ coordinate.
+ \end{key}
+ %
+ \begin{key}{/tikz/in control=\meta{coordinate}}
+ This option causes the \meta{coordinate} to be used as the target
+ control point. You can use a coordinate like |+(1,0)| to specify
+ a point relative to the \emph{end} coordinate.
+ \end{key}
+ %
+ \begin{key}{/tikz/controls=\meta{coordinate}| and |\meta{coordinate}}
+ This option causes the \meta{coordinate}s to be used as control points.
+ %
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\tikz \draw (0,0) to [controls=+(90:1) and +(90:1)] (3,0);
+\end{codeexample}
+ \end{key}
+\end{key}
+
+
+\subsection{Loops}
+
+\begin{key}{/tikz/loop}
+ This key is similar to the |curve to| key, but differs in the following
+ ways: First, the actual target coordinate is ignored and the start
+ coordinate is used as the target coordinate. Thus, it is allowed not to
+ provide any target coordinate, which can be useful with unnamed nodes.
+ Second, the |looseness| is set to |8| and the |min distance| to |5mm|.
+ These settings result in rather nice loops when the opening angle
+ (difference between |in| and |out|) is 30$^\circ$.
+ %
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+ \node [circle,draw] {a} edge [in=30,out=60,loop] ();
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{codeexample}
+ %
+\end{key}
+
+\begin{stylekey}{/tikz/loop above}
+ Sets the |loop| style and sets in and out angles such that loop is above
+ the node. Furthermore, the |above| option is set, which causes a node label
+ to be placed at the correct position.
+ %
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\begin{tikzpicture}
+ \node [circle,draw] {a} edge [loop above] node {x} ();
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{codeexample}
+ %
+\end{stylekey}
+
+\begin{stylekey}{/tikz/loop below}
+ Works like the previous option.
+\end{stylekey}
+%
+\begin{stylekey}{/tikz/loop left}
+ Works like the previous option.
+\end{stylekey}
+%
+\begin{stylekey}{/tikz/loop right}
+ Works like the previous option.
+\end{stylekey}
+%
+\begin{stylekey}{/tikz/every loop (initially {->,shorten >=1pt})}
+ This style is installed at the beginning of every loop.
+ %
+\begin{codeexample}[]
+\begin{tikzpicture}[every loop/.style={}]
+ \draw (0,0) to [loop above] () to [loop right] ()
+ to [loop below] () to [loop left] ();
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{codeexample}
+ %
+\end{stylekey}
