Hi Sebastian, you can control node distance in the following way: Step 1: add \usetikzlibrary{positioning} to the preamble (the part before \begin{document}). Step 2: When you make the first node using
ode[draw] (n1) at (0,0) {}; you can place a node 3cm next to that node by using the code
ode[draw] (n2) [right=2cm of n1] {}; I believe that this is the best solution to your problem whereby you would end up with a code like this \begin{tikzpicture} [node distance=1cm]
ode[draw, shape=circle] (n1) at (0,0) {node 1};
ode[draw, shape=circle] (n2) [right=2cm of n1] {node 2};
ode[draw, shape=circle] (n3) [right=3cm of n2] {node 3};
ode[draw, shape=circle] (n4) [below=3cm of n1] {node 4}; \end{tikzpicture} You can further control the distance of all nodes by using the option in the above code [node distance=1cm]. There are many other options to satisfy your request (that is the beauty of LaTex) but this I believe is the simplest. If you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask.
how could you bold certain lines that you are drawing?
Good vid, cheers.
how could you put a specific node distance? For example, I just need 2cm between node 1 and 2, keeping 3cm to the others nodes ?
Greetings from Chile.
