  Description     : A Java program for drawing Feynman diagrams.


JaxoDraw is a Java program for drawing Feynman diagrams. It has a complete 
graphical user interface that allows to carry out all actions in a mouse 
click-and-drag fashion. Fine-tuning of the diagrams is also possible through 
keyboard entries. Graphs may be exported to (encapsulated) postscript and can be 
saved in XML files to be used in later sessions.

However, the main feature of JaxoDraw is the possibility of generating LaTeX code 
that makes use of J. Vermaseren's axodraw package to compile. In that way, we 
combine the power of axodraw and LaTeX (such as METAFONT labels), with the 
easiness of a what-you-see-is-what-you-get interface.
