NAME

SYNTAX

DESCRIPTION

12       JaxoDraw  is  a  Feynman graph plotting tool written in Java.  It has a
13       complete graphical user interface that allows all actions to be carried
14       out  via  mouse click-and-drag operations in a WYSIWYG fashion.  Graphs
15       may be exported to postscript / EPS format and  can  be  saved  in  XML
16       files  to be used for later sessions. With JaxoDraw it becomes possible
17       to draw even complicated Feynman diagrams with just a few mouse clicks,
18       without the knowledge of any programming language.
19
20       Note:  You  need  an  installed and configured Java Runtime Environment
21       (version 1.4.1 or greater) in order to run JaxoDraw.  This may be down‐
22       loaded  free  of charge from Sun's web pages: http://java.sun.com/down
23       loads/
24
25       Note: You need to install the axodraw4j.sty LaTeX style file  in  order
26       to  use  the  LaTeX  features  of  JaxoDraw.  You  may download it from
27       http://jaxodraw.sourceforge.net/download/.  Please refer to  the  Jaxo‐
28       Draw User Guide for information on how to install axodraw4j.
29
30       options  are  a  set  of  command line options specified below and file
31       specifies the name of a file to be edited.  The  objects  in  the  file
32       will be read at the start of JaxoDraw.
33
34       Most  of  the  documentation for JaxoDraw is in an HTML-based reference
35       guide that is available via the Help menu in JaxoDraw  or  at  our  Web
36       page http://jaxodraw.sourceforge.net/.

EXAMPLES

45       To run JaxoDraw the standard way, just type:
46
47       jaxodraw
48
49       To read in the file epscatter.xml at start-up, type:
50

OPTIONS

57       Currently, the following command line options are supported:
58
59       --help
60              Print all command-line options for JaxoDraw.
61
62       --version
63              Prints out the version number of JaxoDraw.
64
65       --info
66              Prints out some information about your system.
67
68       --convert
69              Used to convert a number of JaxoDraw xml files (given as parame‐
70              ters  on  the  command  line)  to  axodraw4j tex files (and vice
71              versa) without the need of bringing up the user interface.   Use
72              like eg:
73
74              jaxodraw --convert test1.xml test2.tex
75
76              This converts test1.xml to test1.tex and test2.tex to test2.xml.
77
78       -verbose
79              Turns on verbose error messaging.
80
81       -quiet
82              Turns off verbose error messaging.
83
84       -nosplash
85              Do  not  show  the splash window at start up (default is to show
86              it).
87
88       By default, all parameters starting with -- do not pop up the graphical
89       user interface of JaxoDraw.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

96       We are grateful to Prof. Arcadi Santamaria for numerous helpful remarks
97       and moral support during the development of JaxoDraw.  We also acknowl‐
98       edge Prof. Jos Vermaseren for his kind permission to use and distribute
99       a  modified version of his axodraw style file.  John Collins has pushed
100       the development of JaxoDraw a huge step forward by writing the new axo‐
101       draw4j  style  file.   We would finally like to thank all the people on
102       the JaxoDraw mailing list for their help and feedback during the  test‐
103       ing phase.
