% \begin{abstract}
% This package provides a way to easily draw diagrams in documents and presentations from a list of items thanks to Ti\textit{k}Z.
% The idea originated from \href{http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/78310/powerpoints-smart-art-for-tikz}{this question} on \href{http://tex.stackexchange.com}{TeX.StackExchange}.
%
% \end{abstract}

% \tableofcontents
% \section{Introduction and requirements}
% The aim of the package is to provide a way to draw diagrams starting from a list of items colored automatically. The diagrams created could be used in a simple document or in a presentation: in the latter case, while using the Beamer class, the user could decide if diagrams should be overlay-awared or not.
% 
% Automatically, the \textsf{smartdiagram} package loads:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item Ti\textit{k}Z;
% \item \textsf{etoolbox};
% \item \textsf{xparse};
% \item \textsf{xstring} (from version 0.2).
% \end{itemize}
% Moreover, the package loads the following Ti\textit{k}Z libraries:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item \library{backgrounds};
% \item \library{calc};
% \item \library{fadings};
% \item \library{shadows};
% \item \library{shapes.arrows};
% \item \library{shapes.symbols} (from version 0.2).
% \end{itemize}
% and it sets a new layer called \verb|smart diagram arrow back|. From version 0.3, the package is composed of three core libraries:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item \library{core.definitions},
% \item \library{core.styles},
% \item \library{core.commands}
% \end{itemize}
% which actually form the package \library{smartdiagram.sty} and of the external library:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item \library{additions}
% \end{itemize}
% which can be loaded separately by the user. By loading this library:
% \begin{flushleft}
% \texttt{\textbackslash usesmartdiagramlibrary\{}\library{additions}\texttt{\}}
% \end{flushleft}
% forces the Ti\textit{k}Z library \library{positioning} to be loaded as well.
% 
% The package could be loaded by means of \cs{usepackage}\texttt{\{smartdiagram\}}.
% 
% \section{Basic Usage}
% \DescribeMacro{\smartdiagram} The basic command is \cs{smartdiagram}\mqbarg{type of diagram}\mbrarg{list of items}. The \mbrarg{list of items} should be comma-delimited: to insert, for example, a comma as part of the item label use \verb|\smartdiagram[..]{elem1,{elem2,text},elem3}|.
%
% The possible diagrams that could be created are:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item \diagram{circular diagram}: the items in the list are diplayed around a circle typically in counterclockwise order; 
% \item \diagram{circular diagram:clockwise}: same as before, but now items are placed in clockwise order (no space between names and \diagram{:});
% \item \diagram{flow diagram}: the items in the list are diplayed as a flow chart;
% \item \diagram{flow diagram:horizontal}: the items in the list are diplayed as an horizontal flow chart (no space between names and \diagram{:});
% \item \diagram{descriptive diagram}: a diagram in which are displayed concepts and their description;
% \item \diagram{priority descriptive diagram}: a diagram in which the items are deployted based on their relevance;
% \item \diagram{bubble diagram}: each item is a bubble deployted around a bubble center, which is the first element in the list;
% \item \diagram{constellation diagram}: each item is a circle connected to the center, the first element in the list again;
% \item \diagram{connected constellation diagram}: each item is a circle and, a part from the first element in the list, the other ones are connected toghether;
% \item \diagram{sequence diagram}: the items in the list are diplayed in sequence and each item points to the subsequent.
% \end{itemize}
% 
% For example:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{center}
% \smartdiagram[circular diagram]{Set up,Run,Analyse,Modify~/ Add}
% \end{center}
% \end{verbatim}
% produces:
% \begin{center}
% \smartdiagram[circular diagram]{Set up,Run,Analyse,Modify~/ Add}
% \end{center}
%
% All diagrams could be customized in various ways, from the selection of the background colors to the font size, from the size of the items to the shape of the border. The keys necessary for this task will be analysed in detail in section \ref{sec:options}.
%
% For what concern the \diagram{bubble diagram}, the \diagram{constellation diagram} and the \diagram{connected constellation diagram}, they are a bit different from the rest of the diagrams, in the sense that the first item in the \mbrarg{list of items} is particular: called \emph{bubble center} and \emph{planet}, respectively, its aspect is different and it could be customized with dedicated keys.
%
% From version 0.2 there is availble also the \diagram{sequence diagram} which displays the \mbrarg{list of items} with a particular shape.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\smartdiagramanimated} Inside presentations, the user could select if the diagram should be displayed in a \emph{persistent} way, or with an animation. The \emph{persistent} way is achieved by exploiting, again, \cs{smartdiagram}, while to have the diagram \emph{overlay-aware} the command is \cs{smartdiagramanimated}\mqbarg{type of diagram}\marg{list of items}. 

% For diagrams like the \diagram{circular diagram} and the \diagram{flow diagram} the animation runs as follows: at the beginning the first item of the list is displayed, then each time appears an arrow connecting the previous element with the new one; at the end it is displayed the arrow connecting the last element with the first one. Considering instead the \diagram{descriptive diagram}, per couple description title-description, first it is shown the description title and subsequently the description. In the \diagram{priority descriptive diagram}, very simply, the list of items is deployted starting from the bottom, that is the less relevant item, to the top to progressively show much relevant items.
% For what concern the \diagram{bubble diagram}, the \diagram{constellation diagram} and the \diagram{connected constellation diagram}, at first it is always shown the \emph{bubble center} and \emph{planet}, respectively and later all the items subsequently. 
% Finally, in the \diagram{sequence} diagram, the items are presented one at a time starting from the left one ending with the right one.
%
% \section{Additions}
% \DescribeMacro{\usesmartdiagramlibrary} From version 0.3, it is possible to load a separate library called \library{additions} which allows to create annotations over a smart diagram. Load the library through:
% \begin{flushleft}
% \texttt{\textbackslash usesmartdiagramlibrary\{}\library{additions}\texttt{\}}
% \end{flushleft}
% in the preamble. \DescribeMacro{\smartdiagramadd} The basic command introduced by the library is \cs{smartdiagramadd}\mqbarg{type of diagram}\mbrarg{list of items}\mbrarg{list of additions}. The \mbrarg{list of additions} have a special syntax:
% \begin{flushleft}
% \meta{position of module/Annotation text}
% \end{flushleft}
% where:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item \textit{position} is an anchor of Ti\textit{k}Z (i.e \texttt{above}, \texttt{below right} and so on);
% \item \textit{module} is the name of a module in the smart diagram;
% \item \textit{position} and \textit{module} should be separated by the string \texttt{of}: spaces before and after the string are \emph{mandatory}.
% \end{itemize}
% \textsf{Smartdiagram} defines as names:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item for the diagrams \diagram{circular diagram} and \diagram{circular diagram:clockwise}:\\ \smkey{module}\smnumeration{progressive-number} (no space or other symbols in between); example: \texttt{module1};
% \item for the diagrams \diagram{flow diagram} and \diagram{flow diagram:horizontal}:\\ \smkey{module}\smnumeration{progressive-number}; example: \texttt{module3};
% \item for the diagram \diagram{descriptive diagram}: \smkey{module-title}\smnumeration{progressive-number} for titles and \smkey{module}\smnumeration{progressive-number} for descriptions;  example: \texttt{module-title1} and \texttt{module1};
% \item for the diagram \diagram{bubble diagram}: \smkey{center bubble} for the center module and \smkey{module}\smnumeration{progressive-number} for the other modules;  example: \texttt{center bubble} and \texttt{module2};
% \item for the diagrams \diagram{constallation diagram} and \diagram{connected constellation diagram}: \smkey{planet} for the center module and \smkey{satellite}\smnumeration{progressive-number} for the other modules;  example: \texttt{planet} and \texttt{satellite3};
% \item for the diagram \diagram{priority descriptive diagram}: \smkey{module}\smnumeration{progressive-number};
% \item for the diagram \diagram{sequence diagram}: \smkey{sequence-item}\smnumeration{progressive-number}; example: \texttt{sequence-item1}.
% \end{itemize}
% The use of the library \library{additions} in a document requires two compilation runs at least because of the Ti\textit{k}Z options \texttt{remember picture} and \texttt{overlay}.
%
% An example:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{minipage}[t][3.5cm]{\textwidth}
% \begin{center}
% \smartdiagramset{
%  uniform color list=gray!60!black for 3 items,
%  back arrow disabled=true,
%  additions={
%   additional item offset=0.85cm,
%   additional item border color=red,
%   additional connections disabled=false,
%   additional arrow color=red,
%   additional arrow tip=stealth,
%   additional arrow line width=1pt,
%   additional arrow style=]-latex',
%   }
% }
% \smartdiagramadd[flow diagram:horizontal]{%
% PGF,Ti\textit{k}Z,Smartdiagram%
% }{%
% below of module1/Low Level, below of module3/High level%
% }
% \end{center}
% \end{minipage}
% \end{verbatim}
% The result:
% \medskip
%
% \begin{minipage}[t][3.5cm]{\textwidth}
% \begin{center}
% \smartdiagramset{
%  uniform color list=gray!60!black for 3 items,
%  back arrow disabled=true,
%  additions={
%   additional item offset=0.85cm,
%   additional item border color=red,
%   additional connections disabled=false,
%   additional arrow color=red,
%   additional arrow tip=stealth,
%   additional arrow line width=1pt,
%   additional arrow style=]-latex',
%   }
% }
% \smartdiagramadd[flow diagram:horizontal]{%
% PGF,Ti\textit{k}Z,Smartdiagram%
% }{%
% below of module1/Low Level, below of module3/High level%
% }
% \end{center}
% \end{minipage}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\smartdiagramconnect} Notice that with the \cs{smartdiagramadd} facility it is not possible to fine customize the direction of the arrow tips. Since each additional module has as name\\ \smkey{additional-module}\smnumeration{progressive-number}, then by means of the specific command\\ \cs{smartdiagramconnect}\mbrarg{arrow options}\mbrarg{start module/end module} one could do better. For example:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{minipage}[t][3.5cm]{\textwidth}
% \begin{center}
% \smartdiagramset{
%  uniform color list=gray!60!black for 3 items,
%  back arrow disabled=true,
%  additions={
%   additional item offset=0.85cm,
%   additional item border color=red,
%   additional arrow color=red,
%   additional arrow tip=stealth,
%   additional arrow line width=1pt,
%   additional arrow style=]-latex',
%   }
% }
% \smartdiagramadd[flow diagram:horizontal]{%
% PGF,Ti\textit{k}Z,Smartdiagram%
% }{%
% below of module1/Low Level, below of module3/High level%
% }
% \smartdiagramconnect{{]-latex'}}{additional-module1/module1}
% \smartdiagramconnect{{latex'-[}}{additional-module2/module3}
% \end{center}
% \end{minipage}
% \end{verbatim}
% gives:
% \medskip
%
% \begin{minipage}[t][3.5cm]{\textwidth}
% \begin{center}
% \smartdiagramset{
%  uniform color list=gray!60!black for 3 items,
%  back arrow disabled=true,
%  additions={
%   additional item offset=0.85cm,
%   additional item border color=red,
%   additional arrow color=red,
%   additional arrow tip=stealth,
%   additional arrow line width=1pt,
%   additional arrow style=]-latex',
%   }
% }
% \smartdiagramadd[flow diagram:horizontal]{%
% PGF,Ti\textit{k}Z,Smartdiagram%
% }{%
% below of module1/Low Level, below of module3/High level%
% }
% \smartdiagramconnect{{]-latex'}}{additional-module1/module1}
% \smartdiagramconnect{{latex'-[}}{additional-module2/module3}
% \end{center}
% \end{minipage}
% Because of the option \texttt{overlay}, it is better to protect within a \texttt{minipage} the diagram: in this way the missing bounding box update would not affect the subsequent/precedent text.
%
% By default, the arrows are customized by the keys which start with \smkey{additional} (explained more in detail in the subsubsection \ref{subsubsect:options}), but it is possible to override locally this definition, for example with:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \smartdiagramconnect{{latex'-[},green}{additional-module2/module3}
% \end{verbatim}
% For the moment, the library \library{additions} \emph{does not work} in the animated mode.
%
% \section{The options}
% \label{sec:options}
% \subsection{Setting the options}
% \DescribeMacro{\smartdiagramset} The options should be introduced similarly to what happens with \cs{tikzset} in Ti\textit{k}Z: \cs{smartdiagramset}\mbrarg{list of options}. As well as in Ti\textit{k}Z, it is possible to collect options within styles: see for more details subsection \ref{subsec:stylesdef}. Examples in which the options are used are shown in section \ref{sec:gallery}.
% \subsection{Available options}
% Here follows the list of general available options: these options are related to generic aspects as color lists or arrows.
% \subsubsection{General options}
% \begin{itemize}
% \item \packoption{set color list}{none}: this option allows the user to define the list of colors usable in the diagram;
%
% \item \packoption{uniform color list}{none}: this option allows the user to set one single color for the whole list of colors usable in the diagram;
%
% \item \packoption{use predefined color list}{none}: this option allows the user to reuse the pre-defined colors whenever in a previous diagram they have been changed;
%
% \item \packoption{insert decoration}{none}: this option allows to decorate the border of the module; the user should declare properly a decoration style and load manually the libraries required, e.g. \library{decorations.pathmorphing}; some more hints are given in section \ref{sec:recommendations};
%
% \item \packoption{arrow line width}{0.1cm}: this option sets the width of the connection arrows within two modules;
%
% \item \packoption{arrow tip}{stealth}: this option allows to select the single arrow tip; possible choices are described in the pgfmanual and for particular types it is recommended to load the library \library{arrows};
%
% \item \packoption{arrow style}{<-}: this option allows the user to define a new style for the arrow; as well as the key \smkey{arrow tip}, see the pgfmanual to see a list of possible arrow styles;
%
% \item \packoption{uniform arrow color}{false}: this option, set to true, activates the possibility to use one single arrow color for all the connections;
%
% \item \packoption{arrow color}{gray}: this option, when the key \smkey{uniform arrow color} is set to true, allows to select the uniform arrow color.
%
% \end{itemize}
% \subsubsection{Specific options}
% Here follows the list of specific available options per type of diagram.
%
% For what concern the \diagram{circular diagram}, \diagram{circular diagram:clockwise}, the \diagram{flow diagram} and the \diagram{flow diagram:horizontal}:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item \packoption{module minimum width}{2cm}: this option sets the minimum width of the module;
%
% \item \packoption{module minimum height}{1cm}: this option sets the minimum height of the module;
%
% \item \packoption{module y sep}{1.65}: this option sets a vertical distance factor among the modules in a \diagram{flow diagram};
%
% \item \packoption{module x sep}{2.75}: this option sets an horizontal distance factor among the modules in a \diagram{flow diagram:horizontal};
%
% \item \packoption{module shape}{rectangle,rounded corners}: this option should be used to change the shape of the module, but the user should load manually the proper Ti\textit{k}Z library; for example, to user an \verb|ellipse|, load \library{shapes.geometric} in the preamble;
%
% \item \packoption{text width}{1.75cm}: this option sets the text width inside the module;
%
% \item \packoption{font}{\textbackslash small}: this option sets the module font;
%
% \item \packoption{border color}{gray}: this option sets the border color of the module;
%
% \item \packoption{text color}{black}: this option sets the text color of the module;
%
% \item \packoption{circular distance}{2.75cm}: this option sets the radius of cirle around which the modules in a \diagram{circular diagram};
%
% \end{itemize}
% 
% Considering just the \diagram{flow diagram} and the \diagram{flow diagram:horizontal}, there is a specific option to disable the back arrow going from the final module to the first one and to set its distance from the modules:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item \packoption{back arrow distance}{0.5}: the option sets the distance (it hold for both types);
% \item \packoption{back arrow disabled}{false}: the option, set to \texttt{true} disables the back arrow.
% \end{itemize}
%
% Similarly, in the \diagram{circular diagram} and in the \diagram{circular diagram:clockwise}, there is a specific option to disable the back arrow going from the final module to the first one:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item \packoption{circular final arrow disabled}{false}: the option, set to \texttt{true} disables the final connection.
% \end{itemize}
% 
% For what concern the \diagram{descriptive diagram} and the \diagram{priority descriptive diagram}:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item \packoption{descriptive items y sep}{1.75}: this option sets a vertical distance factor among the descriptive items;
%
% \item \packoption{description title width}{1.5cm}: this option sets the minimum width of the description-title;
%
% \item \packoption{description title text width}{1.25cm}: this option sets the text width of the description-title;
%
% \item \packoption{description text width}{5cm}: this option sets the text width of the description;
%
% \item \packoption{description title font}{\textbackslash small}: this option sets the font size of the description-title;
%
% \item \packoption{description font}{\textbackslash small}: this option sets the font size of the description;
%
% \item \packoption{description width}{5.5cm}: this option sets the minimum width of the description;
%
% \item \packoption{priority arrow width}{1.5cm}: this option sets the width of the vertical arrow;
%
% \item \packoption{priority arrow head extend}{0.15cm}: this option sets the width of the arrow head extend;
%
% \item \packoption{priority tick size}{5pt}: this option sets the size of the line denoting the relevance position of items in the vertical arrow;
%
% \item \packoption{priority arrow height advance}{2cm}: this option specifies how much the vertical arrow is vertically extended above the most relevant item.
% \end{itemize}
%
% For what concern the \diagram{bubble diagram}, the \diagram{constellation diagram} and the \diagram{connected constellation diagram}:

%
% \subsubsection{Options of the additions library}
% \label{subsubsect:options}
% The options of the library necessitate to be set within a specific key \smkey{additions}; this key is defined as
% \begin{verbatim}
% \pgfkeys{/smart diagram/.cd,
%  additions/.style={/smart diagram/additions/.cd,#1}%
% }
% \end{verbatim} and it basically sets the correct path; indeed all of these keys are defined in a subtree of the main path: \verb!/smart diagram/additions!. For example:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \smartdiagramset{
%  additions={
%   additional item offset=0.85cm,
%   additional item border color=red,
%   additional arrow color=red,
%   additional arrow tip=stealth,
%   additional arrow line width=1pt,
%   additional arrow style=]-latex',
%   }
% }
% \end{verbatim}
% Notice that each key starts with \smkey{additional}: in my opinion, although it may seems heavy type this every time, it could avoid some confusion with other keys. 
% \begin{itemize}
% 
% \item \packoption{additional item shape}{rectangle,rounded corners}: this option should be used to change the shape of the additional module; similarly to the key \smkey{module shape}, for some shapes the user should load manually the proper Ti\textit{k}Z library;
% 
% \item \packoption{additional item border color}{none}: sets the border line color;
% 
% \item \packoption{additional item bottom color}{white}: this option sets the bottom color of the module; use it if you want to keep the same aspect of the diagrams: \diagram{circular diagram}, \diagram{flow diagram}, \diagram{circular diagram:clockwise} and \diagram{flow diagram:horizontal};
% 
% \item \packoption{additional item fill color}{none}: this option sets the fill color of the module; use it if you want to keep the same aspect of the other types of diagrams;
% 
% \item \packoption{additional item text width}{1.75cm}: it defines the text width of the module;
% 
% \item \packoption{additional item width}{2cm}: it defines the minimum width of the module;
% 
% \item \packoption{additional item height}{1cm}: it defines the minimum height of the module;
% 
% \item \packoption{additional item font}{\textbackslash normalfont}: this option allows to customize the font of the module;
% 
% \item \packoption{additional item border decoration}{none}: this option allows to customize the module with a decoration; some more hints are given in section \ref{sec:recommendations};
% 
% \item \packoption{additional item offset}{0.25cm}: this option defines the distance between the original module and the additional one;
% 
% \item \packoption{additional item fill opacity}{1}: it sets the fill opacity of the module;
% 
% \item \packoption{additional item text opacity}{1}: it sets the text opacity of the module;
% 
% \item \packoption{additional arrow tip}{stealth}: this option defines the single arrow tip of the connection;
% 
% \item \packoption{additional arrow line width}{0.1cm}: this option defines the line width of the connection;
% 
% \item \packoption{additional arrow color}{gray}: this option defines the connection color;
% 
% \item \packoption{additional arrow style}{->}: this option allows to customize the connection aspect, that is both arrow tips simultaneously;
% 
% \item \packoption{additional item shadow}{none}: it allows to define a shadow for the module; use the usual Ti\textit{k}Z shadow options;
% 
% \item \packoption{additional connections disabled}{true}: this option when set to \texttt{false} makes all the connections visible.

% \section{Recommendations and known issues}
% \label{sec:recommendations}
% \subsection{Something about colors}
% As seen in the section \ref{sec:options}, the colors could be customized by means of the key \smkey{set color list}. By default there are 10 predefined colors; in order:  \colsmartbox{red!40}, \colsmartbox{cyan!40}, \colsmartbox{blue!40}, \colsmartbox{green!40}, \colsmartbox{orange!40}, \colsmartbox{yellow!40}, \colsmartbox{magenta!40}, \colsmartbox{brown!40}, \colsmartbox{violet!40} and \colsmartbox{teal!40}. This implies that, by default, it is not possible to have lists longer than 10 items. This, of course, could be avoided by declaring proper lists with, say, 20 colors and therefore develop diagrams with more than 10 items. In any case, it is always possible to reset custom color lists by means of:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \smartdiagramset{use predefined color list}
% \end{verbatim}
%
% In order to use one color for all the items it is possible to exploit the \smkey{uniform color list}; it has a particular syntax:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \smartdiagramset{uniform color list=<some color> for <n> items}
% \end{verbatim}
% The \meta{some color} is set for a list of \meta{n} items and nothing more, so in order to avoid problems make sure you dimension \meta{n} correctly. Indeed, in case \meta{n} is lower than the number of items inside the diagram the following happens:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{center}
% \smartdiagramset{
%  uniform color list=gray!60!black for 2 items,
%  back arrow disabled=true,
% }
% \smartdiagram[flow diagram:horizontal]{PGF,Ti\textit{k}Z,Smartdiagram}
% \end{center}
% \end{verbatim}
% \begin{center}
% \smartdiagramset{use predefined color list,
%  uniform color list=gray!60!black for 2 items,
%  back arrow disabled=true,
% }
% \smartdiagram[flow diagram:horizontal]{PGF,Ti\textit{k}Z,Smartdiagram}
% \end{center}
% In conclusion, the uniform setting is extend only for \meta{n} items, for the remaining ones the predefined or a custom color list is used.
% 
% Notice also that the key \smkey{uniform color list} makes the arrow color be uniform for \meta{n} items, but it has no relation with the \smkey{uniform arrow color} which automatically makes \emph{all} items with an uniform color. Indeed, the color taken by the arrows with:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \smartdiagramset{uniform arrow color=true} 
% \end{verbatim}
% could be customized throught the key \smkey{arrow color}, while \smkey{uniform color list} make modules and arrows be rendered with the same color.
% 
% \subsection{Defining styles}
% \label{subsec:stylesdef}
% The \textsf{smartdiagram} package admits the definition of styles to collect key-definitions; for example:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \smartdiagramset{my diagram style/.style={
%        module shape=diamond,
%        font=\scriptsize,
%        module minimum width=1cm,
%        module minimum height=1cm,
%        text width=1cm
%   }
% }
% \end{verbatim}
% can be subsequently used in:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{center}
%  \smartdiagramset{my diagram style, arrow tip=to}
%  \smartdiagram[circular diagram]{Do, This, Only, For, Me}
% \end{center}
% \begin{center}
%  \smartdiagramset{my diagram style, module y sep=2.5}
%  \smartdiagram[flow diagram]{Do, This, For, Me}
% \end{center}
% \end{verbatim}
%
% \subsection{Circular, bubble and constellation diagrams}
% For these type of diagrams, the number of items is relevant: too many items lead to overlapping satellites and bubbles besides any attempt to resize things by means of keys that reduce the radius. 
% 
% Notice also that imposing a too short distance from the planet to satellites is bad and leads to something like:
% \smartdiagramset{use predefined color list}
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{center}
% \smartdiagramset{planet color=orange!60, distance planet-satellite=1cm}
% \smartdiagram[connected constellation diagram]
%  {Build a program,Set up,Run,Analyze,Modify~/\\ Add,Check}
% \end{center}
% \end{verbatim}
% \begin{center}
% \scalebox{0.8}{
% \smartdiagramset{planet color=orange!60, distance planet-satellite=1cm}
% \smartdiagram[connected constellation diagram]{Build a program,Set up,Run,Analyze,Modify~/\\ Add}
% }
% \end{center}
% 
% \subsection{Descriptive diagrams}
% When the user has to build a \diagram{descriptive diagram}, simple or animated, the following rules have to be respected:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item each description title and description should be separated by a comma;
% \item to use a comma inside a description, enclose by \{ \} the description;
% \item use a comma after the last couple description title-description. 
% \end{itemize}
% A working example:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \smartdiagram[descriptive diagram]{
% {Set up, The set up operation consist of..},
% {Run, {After having set up the program, you must run..}},
% {Analyze, You must check what did with analytical tools like..},
% }
% \end{verbatim}
% A non-working example:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \smartdiagram[descriptive diagram]{
% {Set up, The set up operation consist of..},
% {Run, {After having set up the program, you must run..}},
% {Analyze, You must check what did with analytical tools like..}
% }
% \end{verbatim}
% The \emph{mandatory} final comma is missing thus, as result, the last couple description title-description will be entirely treated as a description title.
%
% Another suggestion regarding descriptive diagrams is about the description title: it should be short in order to avoid the size of the circle explode. To kept it under controll, the keys \smkey{description title width}, \smkey{description title text width} and \smkey{description title font} are of help. 
%
% \subsection{Decorations}
% To decorate the border of modules, it is kindly recommended to first declare the decoration choosen by means of an apposite style and then apply the style. The procedure, in code, should be as follows:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \tikzset{my wonderful decoration/.style={decorate,decoration=bent}}
% \smartdiagramset{insert decoration=my wonderful decoration,...}
% \end{verbatim}
% where the dots represent the other options.
%
% The insertion of decorations inside a \diagram{descriptive diagram} are problematic: only \verb|random steps|, \verb|bent| and \verb|coil| do not raise errors. Other decorations, like \verb|snake|, raise as error: 
% \begin{verbatim}
% ! Dimension too large.
% \end{verbatim} but, after all, the decoration is deployed anyway.
% 
% In case the user wants to decorate a border with a decoration that involves random numbers, such as \verb|random steps| or other custom-built decorations, it is preferable to set a seed for the animated diagram, to avoid that at each step the border of the same module changes. An example:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{frame}
% \begin{center}
% \pgfmathsetseed{12354}
% \tikzset{my decoration/.style={decorate,decoration=random steps}}
% \smartdiagramset{insert decoration=my decoration}
% \smartdiagramanimated[descriptive diagram]{

% \subsection{Priority descriptive diagrams}
% The vertical arrow is drawn in background with a fading effect: it may occurr that under some pdf editor this effect is not shown (this happened to me with evince, but it perfectly worked with okular).
% 
% For what concern these diagrams there is a bug in displaying the tick line when the \smkey{priority arrow head extend} is set with a bigger size than the default; a minimal-non-working example:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{center}
% \smartdiagramset{priority arrow width=2cm,
%  priority arrow height advance=2.25cm,
%  priority arrow head extend=0.3cm}
% \smartdiagram[priority descriptive diagram]{PGF,Ti\textit{k}Z,Smartdiagram}
% \end{center}
% \end{verbatim}
% \begin{center}
% \smartdiagramset{use predefined color list}
% \smartdiagramset{priority arrow width=2cm,priority arrow height advance=2.25cm,
%  priority arrow head extend=0.25cm}
% \scalebox{0.8}{

% \section{Aknowledgements}
% I would like to acknowledge first of all \href{http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/3144/alain-matthes}{Alain Matthes} and \href{http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/4956/mohsen}{Mohsen} because the \diagram{bubble diagram} and the \diagram{constellation diagram} are based on \href{http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/52394/high-level-macros-and-environments-based-on-tikz?#52408}{Alain's answer} while the \diagram{circular diagram} is based on \href{http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/52394/high-level-macros-and-environments-based-on-tikz?#52972}{Mohsen's answer}.
%
% I would also like to thank \href{http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/4427/egreg}{Enrico Gregorio} and \href{http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/994/ahmed-musa}{Ahmed Musa} for the courtesy of explaining me why my poor attempt in creating the \smkey{set color list} failed and for providing me valid solutions. Enrico also kindly fixed a spacing bug concerning the \smkey{uniform color list}.
%
% Last, but not least, I would like to thank prof.~Ludger~Humbert for suggesting and providing the code for the \diagram{circular diagram:clockwise} as well as for pointing out some bugs in the version 0.3 and André Hilbig for suggesting the key \smkey{back arrow disabled}.
