Xy-pic          A package for {typesetting} graphs and       diagrams using {TeX}.   It is structured as several modules,       each defining a custom notation for a particular kind of       graphical object or structure.   Example objects are arrows,       curves, and frames.   These can be organised in matrix,       {directed graph}, path, polygon, knot, and 2-cell structure.          Xy-pic works with {LaTeX}, {AMS-LaTeX}, {AMS-TeX}, and {plain       TeX}, and has been used to typeset complicated diagrams from       many application areas including {category theory}, {automata}       theory, {algebra}, {neural networks} and {database} theory.          {Home (http://www.ens-lyon.fr/~krisrose/Xy-pic.html)}.          (1997-11-20)
