### Create Network Vertices with tikz-network

Source: https://context7.com/hackl/tikz-network/llms.txt

Demonstrates how to create individual network vertices (nodes) using the \Vertex command in tikz-network. It covers basic creation, positioning, custom sizing, coloring, opacity, and different geometric shapes. No external dependencies are required beyond the tikz-network package.

```latex
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz-network}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
  % Basic vertex at origin with label A
  \Vertex{A}

  % Vertex at position (1,1) with label B
  \Vertex[x=1,y=1]{B}

  % Custom sized vertex at (2,0)
  \Vertex[x=2,size=.8,color=red,opacity=.7]{C}

  % Different shapes
  \Vertex[x=3,shape=rectangle]{D}
  \Vertex[x=4,shape=diamond]{E}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
```

### Connect Vertices with Edges using tikz-network

Source: https://context7.com/hackl/tikz-network/llms.txt

Illustrates the use of the \Edge command in tikz-network to create connections between vertices. This includes creating simple, directed, curved, and self-looping edges, with options for labels, colors, line widths, and arrow styles. Requires pre-defined vertices.

```latex
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz-network}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \Vertex{A}
  \Vertex[x=2,y=1]{B}
  \Vertex[x=4]{C}

  % Simple edge from A to B
  \Edge(A)(B)

  % Directed edge with arrow
  \Edge[Direct](B)(C)

  % Curved edge with label
  \Edge[label=weight:5,bend=30,color=red,lw=2pt](A)(C)

  % Self-loop
  \Edge[loopsize=1cm,loopposition=90](C)(C)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
```

```latex
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz-network}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
  % Load all vertices from CSV file
  \Vertices{network_vertices.csv}

  % Load vertices with global style overrides
  \Vertices[opacity=0.8,Math]{network_vertices.csv}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[multilayer=3d]
  % Background plane for layer 1
  \Plane[layer=1,width=4,height=3,color=blue,opacity=0.2,grid=0.5]

  % Layer 2 with different styling
  \Plane[layer=2,width=4,height=3,color=red,opacity=0.1,InBG]

  % Vertices on different layers
  \Vertex[x=1,y=1,layer=1]{A}
  \Vertex[x=2,y=1,layer=2]{B}

  % Inter-layer edge
  \Edge(A)(B)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
```

  \end{Layer}

  % Layer 2 at different z-position
  \begin{Layer}[layer=2]
    \Vertex{C}
    \Vertex[x=2]{D}
    \Edge(C)(D)
  \end{Layer}

  % Cross-layer connections
  \Edge(A)(C)
\end{tikzpicture}

### Configure Default Vertex Style with \SetVertexStyle

Source: https://context7.com/hackl/tikz-network/llms.txt

Globally sets default styling properties for all subsequent vertices, including shape, size, colors, and line width. Overrides can still be applied to individual vertices. Dependencies include the tikz-network package.

```latex
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz-network}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
  % Set custom default vertex style
  \SetVertexStyle[Shape=rectangle,MinSize=0.8cm,FillColor=blue!30,
                  LineWidth=2pt,LineColor=blue,TextColor=white]

  % All vertices now use the custom style
  \Vertex{A}
  \Vertex[x=2]{B}
  \Vertex[x=4]{C}

  % Individual overrides still work
  \Vertex[x=6,color=red]{D}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
```
