I'm trying to draw a diagram, as depicted in the picture below,



enter image description here



May I know, how can I draw multiple arrows branching out nicely from a node to many different nodes as shown above? The arrows I've drawn will directly point towards the box hence, cutting through some of the nodes. How can I make them bend 90 degrees before connecting to the left side of each node.

The main question was how to make multiple joins to other nodes from a single point. The syntax used was:



 draw [arrow] (goal.east) --++(0:5mm)|- (inputs);


This means, draw a 5mm long horizontal line from goal.east to the right and from this point start a vertical+horizontal path to inputs center stopping at inputs border.



Some other changes applied to the original code:



  • replaced use of varwidth package by text width option.

  • replaced tikzstyle by tikzset: see Should tikzset or tikzstyle be used to define TikZ styles?

  • replaced old right of syntax by new right = of from positioning library

  • build the figure from right to left. Right nodes have been placed before left ones to simplify alignment.

The complete code is:

I hope this helps:



You can plan with the length of the box placements to get the image you want:



documentclassarticle
usepackagetikz
usetikzlibraryfit,arrows,calc,positioning

begindocument
tikzstyleb = [rectangle, rounded corners, minimum width=3cm, minimum height=3cm,text centered, draw=black, fill=white]
tikzstylel = [draw, -latex',thick]

begintikzpicture[auto]
 node [b] (A) A;
 node [b, below=of A] (B) B;
 node [b, right=3cm of A] (F) F;
 node [b, right=3cm of A, below=of F] (G) G;
 node [b, right=3cm of A, below=of G] (H) H;
 node [b, below=of B] (C) C;


 path [l] (A) -- (B);
 path [l] (A) -- (F);
 path [l] (B) -- (C);
 path [l] (A.east) --++(0:5mm)|- (H);
 path [l] (A.east) --++(0:5mm)|- (G);
endtikzpicture
enddocument


this gives:

The main question was how to make multiple joins to other nodes from a single point. The syntax used was:



 draw [arrow] (goal.east) --++(0:5mm)|- (inputs);


This means, draw a 5mm long horizontal line from goal.east to the right and from this point start a vertical+horizontal path to inputs center stopping at inputs border.



Some other changes applied to the original code:



  • replaced use of varwidth package by text width option.

  • replaced tikzstyle by tikzset: see Should tikzset or tikzstyle be used to define TikZ styles?

  • replaced old right of syntax by new right = of from positioning library

  • build the figure from right to left. Right nodes have been placed before left ones to simplify alignment.

The complete code is:

I hope this helps:



You can plan with the length of the box placements to get the image you want:



documentclassarticle
usepackagetikz
usetikzlibraryfit,arrows,calc,positioning

begindocument
tikzstyleb = [rectangle, rounded corners, minimum width=3cm, minimum height=3cm,text centered, draw=black, fill=white]
tikzstylel = [draw, -latex',thick]

begintikzpicture[auto]
 node [b] (A) A;
 node [b, below=of A] (B) B;
 node [b, right=3cm of A] (F) F;
 node [b, right=3cm of A, below=of F] (G) G;
 node [b, right=3cm of A, below=of G] (H) H;
 node [b, below=of B] (C) C;


 path [l] (A) -- (B);
 path [l] (A) -- (F);
 path [l] (B) -- (C);
 path [l] (A.east) --++(0:5mm)|- (H);
 path [l] (A.east) --++(0:5mm)|- (G);
endtikzpicture
enddocument


this gives:

Confectionery

Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
