Axodraw




Axodraw is a style file for use in LaTeX. It allows users to define pictures, histograms and flowcharts as part of their TeX files.

axodraw.sty The style file.
axoman.tex The manual file.
axoman.ps The postscript version of the manual file.
axoman.pdf The pdf version of the manual file.

One uses the style file by inserting the following line

    \usepackage{axodraw}
near the beginning of your LaTeX file. Because axodraw uses postscript primitives, you cannot use it directly to create .pdf files (with pdflatex) or .html files (with latex2html). The way to produce .pdf files is to first create the postscript file and then use ps2pdf.

There exists also a JAVA interface to prepare axodraw graphics. It is called JaxoDraw and can be downloaded from here. It has become quite popular and is for most people the preferred way to draw Feynman diagrams. It was originally written by D. Binosi and L. Theussl.

Axodraw is also used by the part of the C version of the axolib library that produces histograms.
