Let me try...

[tex]
\]
\usepackage{pstricks, pstcol, pst-text}

\begin{pspicture}(-4, -3.2)(3, 0.2)
\psset{linecolor=white} % hidden
\pstextpath
{\pscurve(-4, -2)(-2, 0)(0, -3)(2, -1)%
(3, -2)(5, -3)}
{\color{blue} % font color
If you want to type
$(a+b)^n=\sum_{k=0}^n {n\choose k}
a^{n-k}b^k$ and let it follow along
a curving line \ldots}
\end{pspicture}
\[
[/tex]
I think the problem is that a line like
"\usepackage{pstricks, pstcol, pst-text}"
may call packages that are unavailable to this system... or maybe it's that this line must come before the \begin{document} line, which we wouldn't have access to.

I think you'll just have to make do with the picture environment.
But one can get it to do some interesting stuff...

Is there a latex command for Feynman diagrams or contractions in QFT (the lines joining operators to denote propogators and things)?

Anyone? They would be kinda useful.

LaTeX is functional again.

Transparency broken?

I am not familiar with drawing in LaTeX, and I just wonder where I can find a short tutorial on this topic.
I think it should also be added to the first page of this thread, so that someone new to LaTeX can learn how to draw.
It's just my $0.02.

I don't know of anyone else who uses this \picture environment here at PF. For general (i.e. not-necessarily PF) LaTeX, you might look at http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/te...ml/ltx-43.html

Here what I use sometimes http://jpicedt.sourceforge.net/
With some effort (see example below [click on image for source]) and some manual tweaks, you can get its output into a PF post.
