How to prevent the graph from shifting to the right

add tag

topnush

In the following set of slides, the graph shifts to the right on transition 11 which is not what I want.


```
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{tikz}
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{}
\tikzstyle{vertex}=[very thick,draw=black, circle,minimum size=18pt,inner sep=0pt]
\tikzstyle{edge} = [draw,very thick,-]

\begin{figure}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1.8, auto,swap]
    % First we draw the vertices
    \foreach \pos/\name in {{(0,2)/s}, {(2,1)/b}, {(4,1)/c},
                            {(0,0)/d}, {(3,0)/e}, {(2,-1)/f}, {(4,-1)/t}}
        \node[vertex] (\name) at \pos {$\name$};
    % Connect vertices with edges and draw weights
    \foreach \source/ \dest / \myoverlay  in {
      b/s/2-6, 
      c/b/3-,
      f/e/4-8,
      e/t/5-,
      f/d/6-, 
      s/c/8-,
      d/b/10-,
      e/c/11-,
      e/f/12
    }{
        \path<\myoverlay>[edge] (\source) -- node {} (\dest);
    }
    
\node<2-10>[] at (0.6,3) {\Large Two words};
\node<11->[] at (0.6,3) {\Large More words words words words};

\end{tikzpicture}
\end{figure}
\end{frame}

\end{document}
```


This seems to be because "More words words words words" is longer than "Two words".

I find it confusing because "More words words words words" is still less wide than the picture so I am not sure what rule is telling it to be shifted to the left.

`overlay-beamer-styles` to the rescue! The trick is to make the "More words words words words" string just invisible on the first few slides, but still reserve the space.

```
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{tikz}
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}

\usetikzlibrary{overlay-beamer-styles}

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\tikzset{
  vertex/.style={
    very thick,
    draw=black, 
    circle,
    minimum size=18pt,
    inner sep=0pt
  },
  edge/.style={
    draw,
    thick
  }
}


\begin{figure}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1.8, auto,swap]
        
    % First we draw the vertices
    \foreach \pos/\name in {{(0,2)/s}, {(2,1)/b}, {(4,1)/c},
                            {(0,0)/d}, {(3,0)/e}, {(2,-1)/f}, {(4,-1)/t}}
        \node[vertex] (\name) at \pos {$\name$};
    % Connect vertices with edges and draw weights
    \foreach \source/ \dest / \myoverlay  in {
      b/s/2-6, 
      c/b/3-,
      f/e/4-8,
      e/t/5-,
      f/d/6-, 
      s/c/8-,
      d/b/10-,
      e/c/11-,
      e/f/12
    }{
        \path<\myoverlay>[edge] (\source) -- node {} (\dest);
    }
    
\node<2-10> at (0.6,3) {\Large Two words};
\node[visible on=<11->] at (0.6,3) {\Large More words words words words};

\end{tikzpicture}
\end{figure}
\end{frame}

\end{document}
```

(please note that as @marmot mentioned in comments, `\tikzstyle` is deprecated, you should use `\tikzset` instead)
