The <i>feynmf</i> or +<i>feynmp</i> package reads a description of the diagram written +in TeX, and writes out code. Metafont (or MetaPost) can then produce a +font (or PostScript file) for use in a subsequent LaTeX run. For +new users, who have access to MetaPost, the PostScript version is +probably the better route, for document portability and other reasons. + +<p>Jos Vermaseren's <i>axodraw</i> is mentioned as an alternative in +the documentation of <i>feynmf</i>, but it is written entirely in +terms of <i>dvips</i> <code>\</code><code>special</code> commands, and is thus rather +imperfectly portable. +<p>An alternative approach is implemented by Norman Gray's <i>feyn</i> +package. Rather than creating complete diagrams as postscript images, +<i>feyn</i> provides a font (in a variety of sizes) containing +fragments, which you can compose to produce complete diagrams. It +offers fairly simple diagrams which look good in equations, rather +than complicated ones more suitable for display in figures. +<dl> +<dt><tt><i>axodraw</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/axodraw/export">graphics/axodraw/export</a> +<dt><tt><i>feyn font bundle</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/feyn.zip">fonts/feyn</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/feyn.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/fonts/feyn/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>feynman bundle</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex209/contrib/feynman.zip">macros/latex209/contrib/feynman</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex209/contrib/feynman.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex209/contrib/feynman/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>feynmf/feynmp bundle</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/feynmf.zip">macros/latex/contrib/feynmf</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/feynmf.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/feynmf/">browse</a>) +</dl> +<p><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=drawFeyn">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=drawFeyn</a> +</body> |
