[Ti*k*Z-Feynman](http://www.jpellis.me/projects/tikz-feynman) [![ctan.org](https://img.shields.io/ctan/v/tikz-feynman.svg)](https://ctan.org/pkg/tikz-feynman) [![Travis](https://img.shields.io/travis/JP-Ellis/tikz-feynman/master.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/JP-Ellis/tikz-feynman)
=============================================================

Ti*k*Z-Feynman is a LaTeX package allowing Feynman diagrams to be easily
generated within LaTeX with minimal user instructions and without the need of
external programs.  It builds upon the Ti*k*Z package and leverages the graph
placement algorithms from Ti*k*Z in order to automate the placement of many
vertices.  Ti*k*Z-Feynman still allows fine-tuned placement of vertices so that
even complex diagrams can still be generated with ease.

Ti*k*Z-Feynman is made available through the
[Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN)][ctan] and comes with some thorough
[documentation][documentation] containing a tutorial and many examples.  Please
refer to the [project page][projectpage] for additional information.

Ti*k*Z-Feynman is open source and contribution are welcome.  If you have any
suggestions, feature requests, or have found any bugs, feel free to create a new
issue or pull request on Github.

Below are a few example to demonstrate how easy diagram can be, and how
extensible it can be.  Many more are given in the
[documentation][documentation]:
