I have adapted the following flow-chart from another question, I would like to know if it is possible to add parenthesis to describe the step in the flow chart like this?:

I placed the nodes in a local scope, the first one is called "debut", the second one is called "fin". The code is commented with %<--, if you have any questions, don't hesitate.

New answer: alignment of braces

  • Awsome! I would like to ask how to make the starting node circle? I tried other code but it didnt work well with this template/shading – gfdsal Oct 21 '20 at 22:46
  • adding this code makes the braces slanted \tikzstyle{cloud} = [ellipse, draw, fill=blue!20, text width=4.5em, text centered, node distance=3cm, inner sep=0pt,on grid] – gfdsal Oct 21 '20 at 22:49
  • To make the first node circular, simply add this option to the node as follows: \node [block, circle] (init) {Init $n=0$, $T_0$, and $S_0$} ; But then you will have to go down the next node like this: \node[block, below= 2.5cm of init] (nbrh) {$S_{n+1}=N(S_n)$}; – AndréC Oct 22 '20 at 06:28

Add the following at the end of the code

 \draw[brace mirrored, ultra thick]($(init.north west)+(-2cm,0cm)$)--($(accp.south west)+(-2cm,0cm)$) 
      node[midway, left]{S1}
      ;
       \draw[brace mirrored, ultra thick]($(incr.north west)+(-2cm,0cm)$)--($(stcd.west)+(-2cm,-1cm)$) 
      node[midway, left]{S2}
      ;

and in the preamble the correct syntax is

\usetikzlibrary{tikzmark, positioning, fit, shapes.misc}
\usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathreplacing, calc}
\tikzset{brace/.style={decorate, decoration={brace}},
    brace mirrored/.style={decorate,decoration={brace,mirror}},
}
