The following code is not compiled. I got it out of the manual. Please tell me what is wrong with it. Also, please tell me where in the manual the options in the command node(b)[circle, draw]{A circle}; are explained.

\documentclass{amsart}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc,angles,positioning,intersections,quotes,decorations.markings}


\usepackage{pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.11}


\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}

\path (0,0) node(a)[ellipse, rotate=10, draw]{An ellipse} (3,-1) node(b)[circle, draw]{A circle};
\draw[thick](node cs:name=a) -- (node cs:name=b);
\end{tikzpicture}


\end{document}

In the manual, usually the commands in the code examples are liked to their explanation and by clicking them you will jump right to the page where they are explained. – Benedikt Bauer Apr 12 '15 at 21:28
@Jake That should be an answer. :P – Alenanno Apr 12 '15 at 22:48
@Jake Yes, adding the shapes package allowed the code to be compiled. – Adelyn Apr 14 '15 at 21:11
@Benedikt Bauer I got the code from page 136 of the manual. No links to the options. What does the option draw do to the declaration node? I did not find it in the manual. – Adelyn Apr 14 '15 at 21:43
@PaulGessler Do you have a duplicate for the other part of the question? Or are you suggesting the user should ask that separately? – cfr Apr 22 '15 at 00:43
@cfr sure, how about Summary of Tikz commands ? – Paul Gessler Apr 22 '15 at 00:48
@PaulGessler That's awesome, though a cheat sheet would be really nice... – cfr Apr 22 '15 at 00:53
