Abstract:
Xy-pic is a package for typesetting graphs and diagrams using Knuth's TeX typesetting system. Xy-pic works with most of the many formats available, e.g., plain TeX, LaTeX, and AMS-TeX. Several styles of input for various diagram types are supported; they all share a mnemonic notation based on the logical composition of visual components. This guide concentrates on how to typeset "matrix-like" diagrams, such as commutative diagrams, in the following style:

Such diagrams have the following characteristics:\xymatrix{ U \ar@/_/[ddr]_y \ar@/^/[drr]^x \ar@{.>}[dr]|-{(x,y)} \\ & X \times_Z Y \ar[d]^q \ar[r]_p & X \ar[d]_f \\ & Y \ar[r]^g & Z }
- Specified as a matrix of entries that are automatically aligned in rows and columns.
- Any entry may be connected to any other entry using a variety of arrow styles all rotated and stretched as required.
- Arrows may be decorated with labels that are tied to a specified
point along the arrow and extend in a particular direction; and
arrows may be paired, cross, and visit/bend around other entries "on
the way."
