  Xy-pic
  
     <graphics, publication> 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.
