JaxoDraw is a very useful Java application for drawing Feynman diagrams. It has a complete graphical user interface that allows to carry out all actions in a mouse click-and-drag fashion.

Fine-tuning of the diagrams is also possible through keyboard entries. Graphs may be exported to (encapsulated) postscript and can be saved in XML files to be used in later sessions.

One of JaxoDraw's most interesting features offers the possibility of generating LaTeX code compiled with J. Vermaseren's axodraw package.

In fact the main motivation for writing JaxoDraw was to create a graphical user interface for the axodraw package. In that way, we combine the power of axodraw and LaTeX (such as METAFONT labels), with the easiness of a what-you-see-is-what-you-get interface.
