How can I relate cis, trans cyclohexane to enantiomer pairs, diastereomers, and meso stereoisomers?

No such thing as cis/trans cyclohexane. However, there is such a thing as cis- or trans- 1,2-dimethylcyclohexane. There must be two non hydrogen atoms or functional groups attached to two different carbon atoms on the cyclohexane ring to get this type of isomerism.
cis/trans isomers <b>and</b> enantiomers are both examples of stereoisomers. The relationship between different types of isomerism is shown graphically at:
