FeynFig is a program to generate feynman diagrams in xfig format. It can be used in two
ways: one can write an input file describing the feynman diagram to
be drawn. FeynFig will then convert this to an xfig file.
A second, often more convenient approach, is to use FeynFig to
generate a template of gluons, quarks, photons, ... These can then
be merged into your xfig file, copied, moved, rotated,
chopped etc., in order to produce the final diagram that is
desired. Some sample templates are included with the
distribution.
FeynFig is based on FeynMongo by Paolo Nason and Manfred
Lindner. It was adapted for xfig and enhanced by Gavin Salam with
further additions and man page by Thomas Pollehn.
Download current version: feynfig-1.2b.tar.gz
You may also want to download an XFig library file, Feynman_Diagrams.tgz,
containing various basic Feynman diagram elements. This should be
uncompressed in the xfig library directory, for example (on RedHat
Fedora):
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xfig/Libraries/
gunzip -c Feynman_Diagrams.tgz | tar xvf -
The feynman diagram elements will be available from the library
tool on your next invocation of xfig.
