Abstract: We study a one parameter family of random graph models that spans a continuum between traditional random graphs of the ErdH{o}s-R'enyi type, where there is no underlying structure, and percolation models, where the possible edges are dictated exactly by a geometry. We find that previously developed theories in the fields of random graphs and percolation have, starting from different directions, covered almost all the models described by our family. In particular, the existence or not of a phase transition where a giant cluster arises has been proved for all values of the parameter but one. We prove that the single remaining case behaves like a random graph and has a single linearly sized cluster when the expected vertex degree is greater than one.
