Introduction 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The 
\family typewriter
xypic
\family default
-package has long served as a convenient tool for easily constructing graphs
 and diagrams in LaTeX.
 Unfortunately, its use in LyX had long been restricted to the infamous
 ERT-boxes, meaning that the LyX editor could only display the LaTeX-source
 and not the finished diagram.
 The new 
\family typewriter
preview
\family default
-style of LaTeX which is part of the AUCTeX project

, finally enables the editing and displaying of 
\family typewriter

\family default
-diagrams, constructed, displayed and interactively edited inside LyX.

-pic can be used from inside LyX, how diagrams can be created and edited.
 We have tested the following using LyX versions 1.3.7 up to 1.6, running under
 WindowsXP and under Windows Vista.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
There are two modes of operations: For a start, and for some first tests,
 it may be easiest to first enter the

 If you use

-Pic more frequently, or if you want to modify your initial figure, you
 will want to assemble and modify your figures using LyX's math editor.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Once the cursor is moved over a diagram, this is displayed as an array of
 nodes and arrow-commands.
 These can be changed interactively.
 When the cursor leaves the editing area, the diagram reappears.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
In the first two sections of this documentation, we explain how to use LyX
 in the first mentioned mode and we introduce all

Preparation
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The following requires that the LaTeX-packages 
\family typewriter
xypic
\family default
 and 
\family typewriter
preview
\family default
 are installed in the LaTeX system.
 They are available from CTAN, see at 
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "instant-preview"

\end_inset

, resp.
 at 
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "xypic"

\end_inset

.
 After freshly installing them, it may be necessary, to run 
\family sans
Edit\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Reconfigure
\family default
 from the main LyX menu.
 The steps to a first diagram output in LyX are then:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate

\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset

    & Y 
\backslash
ar[r]^g                      &  Z }
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Again, to turn this code into a graphical output, select it all at once
 starting from the 
\family typewriter

\backslash
xymatrix{
\family default
 \SpecialChar \ldots{}
 up to the closing brace \SpecialChar \ldots{}
 
\family typewriter
}
\family default
 and turn it into display-math as explained above.
 A moment after the cursor leaves the math-area, you should see the diagram
 in its full graphical glory as shown below.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula $\xymatrix{U\ar@/_{1pc}/[ddr]_{\psi}\ar@/{}^{1pc}/[drr]^{\varphi}\ar@{.>}[dr]|-{(x,y)}\\
 & X\times_{Z}Y\ar[d]^{q}\ar[r]_{p} & X\ar[d]_{f}\\
 & Y\ar[r]^{g} & Z}
$
\end_inset

 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
The matrix layout of diagrams
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

\family typewriter
xymatrix
\family default
 uses a matrix to define the layout of the vertices of a diagram.
 For the above example, we need a 
\begin_inset Formula $3\times3$
\end_inset

-matrix of which 5 entries are used for the vertices 
\begin_inset Formula $U$
\end_inset

, 
\begin_inset Formula $X\times_{Z}Y$
\end_inset

, 
\begin_inset Formula $X$
\end_inset

, 
\begin_inset Formula $Y$
\end_inset

, 
\begin_inset Formula $Z$
\end_inset

, the other positions remaining empty.
 In this case, the following matrix determines the layout:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\backslash
xymatrix{
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset

    U                       
\backslash

\backslash
 
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset

       & X
\backslash
times_Z Y   & X  
\backslash

\backslash
 
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset

       & Y             & Z    } 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The pattern should be familiar from LaTeX: We see three rows, the first
 two being terminated by the end-of-line-marker 
\family typewriter

\backslash

\backslash

\family default
 .
 Each line consists of entries, separated by the ampersand 
\family typewriter
&
\family default
.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Arrows
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Having entered the vertices, we add arrows between them.
 The basic 
\family typewriter
xypic
\family default
-command to produce an arrow is 
\family typewriter

\backslash
ar
\family default
 , it is entered into the cell of the matrix where the arrow is to start.
 The target of the arrow is defined by direction commands 
\family typewriter
u
\family default
 (up) 
\family typewriter
d
\family default
 (down) 
\family typewriter
l
\family default
 (left), or 
\family typewriter
r
\family default
 (right).
 These can be combined to a path and enclosed in square brackets.
 As an example, the arrows from the vertex 
\begin_inset Formula $U$
\end_inset

 in the upper left corner down and right to the vertices 
\begin_inset Formula $X\times_{Z}Y$
\end_inset

, 
\begin_inset Formula $Y$
\end_inset

, and 
\begin_inset Formula $X$
\end_inset

 are, respectively, defined as 
\family typewriter

\backslash
ar[dr]
\family default
, 
\family typewriter

\backslash
ar[ddr]
\family default
 and 
\family typewriter

\backslash
ar[drr]
\family default
.
 Thus the above diagram with all arrows added becomes:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\backslash
xymatrix{
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset

    U 
\backslash
ar[ddr] 
\backslash
ar[drr] 
\backslash
ar[dr]
\backslash

\backslash

\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset

    & X 
\backslash
times_Z Y 
\backslash
ar[d] 
\backslash
ar[r]& X 
\backslash
ar[d]
\backslash

\backslash

\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset

    & Y 
\backslash
ar[r] & Z }
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula \xymatrix{ U \ar[ddr] \ar[drr] \ar[dr]\\
 &  X \times_{Z} Y \ar[d] \ar[r]  &  X \ar[d]\\
 &  Y \ar[r]  &  Z }


\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\begin_layout Subsection
Labels
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Labels are attached to arrows by affixing them as upper or lower indices
 to the 
\family typewriter

\backslash
ar
\family default
-command.
 Thus, 
\family typewriter

\backslash
ar[drr]^
\backslash
varphi
\family default
 defines an arrow going one cell down, two to the right and having the label
 
\begin_inset Formula $\varphi$
\end_inset

 attached above.
 To attach a label below the arrow, make it a lower index as in 
\family typewriter

\backslash
ar[ddr]_
\backslash
psi
\family default
.
 This explanation is correct only for arrows pointing to the right.
 More precisely, imagine looking along the arrow in the direction it is
 pointing.
 Then an upper index places a label to the left and a lower index places
 it to the right.
 Consequently, an arrow pointing from right to left, such as 
\family typewriter

\backslash
ar[l]^
\backslash
alpha_
\backslash
beta
\family default
 will have label 
\begin_inset Formula $\alpha$
\end_inset

 below and label 
\begin_inset Formula $\beta$
\end_inset

 above the arrow, i.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset

g.
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset


\begin_inset Formula $\xymatrix{\  & \ \ar[l]_{\beta}^{\alpha}.}
$
\end_inset

Using the character | instead of ^ or _ , it is even possible to place the
 label right onto the arrow, obscuring part of its shaft.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Normally, a label is placed halfway between an arrow's start and target
 objects.
 In the first diagram, the central arrow starting in 
\begin_inset Formula $U$
\end_inset

 has the label 
\begin_inset Formula $(x,y)$
\end_inset

 in the middle of the arrow's shaft, rather than in the middle between the
 two objects it connects.
 This is achieved by prefixing the label with a minus sign, here: 
\family typewriter

\backslash
ar[dr]|-{(x,y)}
\family default
.
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

-pic normally permits labels to be shifted towards the tip or towards the
 start of an arrow by prefixing the label with a ratio, such as e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset

g.
 
\family typewriter
(.3)
\family default
.
 In LyX this works only for labels which are placed on top of the arrow,
 such as 
\family typewriter

\backslash
ar[r]|(0.3){
\backslash
phi}
\family default
.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
For labels placed to the left or to the right of the arrow this does not
 work.
 The corresponding

 is not correctly interpreted by LyX's math editor.
 Two workarounds are suggested in the last section of this note.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Arrow modification 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Modification of the design, the form or the positioning of arrows are introduced
 by the 
\family typewriter
@
\family default
-character.
 This is followed by a pair of matching brackets, where the form of the
 bracket pair, 
\family typewriter
{ }
\family default
 or 
\family typewriter
< >
\family default
 or 
\family typewriter
/ /
\family default
 indicates, whether we want to modify the design, the or the curvature of
 the arrow.
 Various modifactions can be applied to an arrow at the same time.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Arrow design 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Various designs such as 
\emph on
solid
\emph default
, 
\emph on
dotted
\emph default
, 
\emph on
dashed
\emph default
 or 
\emph on
double
\emph default
 are possible for the shaft of an arrow.
 These can be combined with various ends and various tips.
 In general, the design of an arrow is described by following the command
 
\family typewriter

\backslash
ar
\family default
 immediately by an 
\family typewriter
@
\family default
-sign and a pair of braces {\SpecialChar \ldots{}
} containing characters describing the end,
 the shaft and the tip of the arrow.
 These characters are chosen to give some form of ASCII-rendering of the
 real thing.
 For instance 
\family typewriter

\backslash
ar@{>..>>}
\family default
 produces an arrow with split end, a dotted shaft and double head.
 A number of other arrow designs is given in the table below.
 Note that the ends of embedding arrows 
\begin_inset Formula $\xymatrix{A\ar@{^{(}->}[r] & B}
$
\end_inset

 are described by raising or lowering opening parentheses, such as in 
\family typewriter

\backslash
ar@{^(->}[r].

\begin_layout Subsection
Bending arrows 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
There are two simple methods to make arrows bend.
 The first is giving an explicit value by which the midpoint of the arrow's
 shaft is raised or depressed, the other is by forcing the arrow to leave
 its origin in a prescribed compass direction and to make him enter the
 target at another direction.
 The necessary bending of the arrow is determined automatically.
 We describe both methods.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Raising the shaft
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
For bending arrows we use the modifier @/
\begin_inset Formula $\ldots$
\end_inset

/ .
 The ellipsis stands for a TeX-measure which needs to be entered as a lower
 or upper index.
 Whereas in 
\family typewriter
xypic
\family default
, we could simply write, e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset

g.
 
\family typewriter

\backslash
ar@/_1pc/
\family default
 for an arrow bending 
\family typewriter
1pc
\family default
 downwards, this cannot directly be done in LyX.
 It is necessary, to enclose the measure in a pair of braces, such as e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset

g.
 
\family typewriter

\backslash
ar@/_{1pc}/
\family default
.
 As an example, here are two opposing arrows between 
\begin_inset Formula $A$
\end_inset

 and 
\begin_inset Formula $B$
\end_inset

, each bending by .5 pica, given by the following source code: 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Specifying exit- and entrance directions.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
An alternative for making arrows bend is by specifying their compass direction
 as they are leaving their source and their direction from which they enter
 their target.
 Instead of north, north-east, east, etc., the directions are named 
\family typewriter
u
\family default
, 
\family typewriter
ur
\family default
, 
\family typewriter
r
\family default

dl
\family default
, 
\family typewriter
l

\family typewriter
ul
\family default
, standing for up, up-right, right, down-right, etc..
 A direction is specified as @(
\emph on
out
\emph default
,
\emph on
in
\emph default
) where 
\emph on
out
\emph default
 stands for the direction the first object is left and 
\emph on
in
\emph default
 stands for the direction from which the target is entered.
 As an example, we show some bending arrows and a loop, which arises when
 we do not specify a target for an arrow, just its incoming and outgoing
 direction:
\end_layout

Entering nodes, arrows and labels
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Type the nodes into the correct positions of the matrix.
 If you move the cursor out of the matrix, you should see a first rendering

 Next, add the arrows at the nodes from where they should emanate by typing

 Make sure that the path indeed leads to an existing node within the matrix.
 Otherwise, the figure will not display when the cursor leaves the editing
 area.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Next, label the arrows by attaching a label text as upper or lower indices
 to the end of the arrow's path.
 As always in LyX's math editor, an underscore 
\family typewriter
_
\family default
 opens a box for a lower index and a

 You can enter any LaTeX-code as a label.

 The above caveat applies to the first form only.
 It must be entered as

 If this box remains empty, you have specified an empty arrow.

What if something goes wrong
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
When constructing a diagram, you should at times check it by just moving
 the cursor out of the editing area to see whether instant preview can successfu
lly convert it into graphical output.
 If this does not happen, it may either be that instant preview for some
 reason is not aware that it should retranslate the graphics.
 Moving the cursor into the editing area and out again sometimes wakes up
 instant preview.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
A more serious reason could be a syntactical error in your input.
 If necessary, redo the last editing steps, using Ctrl-z, or try to translate
 the LyX-file into dvi using Ctrl-d or 
\family sans

 There should be some error generated, which hopefully gives you a hint

Label positioning

Another useful 
\begin_inset ERT

\begin_layout Plain Layout


\backslash

\end_layout

\end_inset

-vcommand allows the correct positioning of labels along the shaft of arrows.
 This feature is sometimes necessary, when the default position of a label
 would otherwise clutter the picture, or would even coincide with other
 items, such as the intersection of the arrows in the figure below.
 In order to shift a label position alongside the shaft of an arrow, 
\begin_inset ERT
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout


\backslash
Xy
\end_layout

\end_inset


\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset

 allows to prefix the label by a decimal number in parentheses, specifying
 the fraction of distance alongside the arrow where the label is to be placed.
 For instance, the code 
\family typewriter

\backslash
ar[r]|(0.3)
\backslash
varphi
\family default
, will place the label on the shaft, but only about one third of the way.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Doing the same with labels above or below arrows as 
\family typewriter

ar[dr]^(0.3)
\backslash
varphi,
\family default
 respectively 
\family typewriter

\backslash
ar[ur]_(0.3)
\backslash
phi
\family default
, does not work from inside LyX.
 Instead, one has to replace the hat-symbol ^, resp.
 the underscore _ , by the macros 
\family typewriter

\backslash
sp
\family default
, resp.
 
\family typewriter

\backslash
sb
\family default
, obtaining 
\family typewriter

\backslash
ar[dr]
\backslash
sp(0.3)
\backslash
varphi 
\family default
and
\family typewriter
 
\backslash
ar[ur]
\backslash
sb(0.3)
\backslash
phi.
 
\family default
It is, in fact, possible to enter several labels this way and those labels
 are placed correctly, even if the arrow bends.
 In the following figure, the bending arrow with its four labels has been
 produced with 
\family typewriter

\backslash
ar@(r,r)[d] 
\backslash
sp(0.2){
\backslash
phi_{1}} 
\backslash
sp(0.4){
\backslash
phi_{2}} 
\backslash

\backslash

\begin_layout Subsection
Invisible stretched arrows
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
A more general trick uses invisible arrows to place any object almost anywhere
 inside a diagram.
 Produce an invisible arrow, shorten (or prolong) it past its goal by adding
 a decimal stretching ratio, e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset

g.
 
\family typewriter
(0.6)
\family default
 or 
\family typewriter
(1.4)
\family default
 to its path.
 Attach a label to this invisible arrow.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Thus, the down pointing arrow with its label 
\begin_inset Formula $\varphi$
\end_inset

 at (0.3) of its way along the shaft might as well have been produced by
 adding to the regular arrow 
\family typewriter

\backslash
ar[dr] 
\family default
an invisible 
\begin_inset Formula $\varphi$
\end_inset

-labelled arrow 
\family typewriter

\backslash
ar@{}[dr(0.6)]^
\backslash
varphi
\family default
, reaching only 0.6 of the way.
 Its label will now appear at 0.3 of the way of the original visible arrow.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This workaround has two minor drawbacks: First, it does not work with bending
 arrows.
 Secondly, prolonging an invisible arrow beyond the normal dimension of
 the figure will invisibly extend the figure box, and thereby cause too
 much vertical space between the figure and the preceding or the following
 paragraph.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Nevertheless, invisible arrows are an important tool, since they can, in
 principle, be used to place information at any chosen place in a diagram.
 In the above figure, for instance, we have used an invisible arrow to carry
 the 
\family typewriter

\backslash
vdots
\family default
 as label and at the earlier figure we had used an invisible arrow to carry
 the text 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\family typewriter
horizontal stretch
\family default

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 into the center of the figure.
