Drawing Feynman diagrams with feynarts

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around using the feynarts.sty package in LaTeX to create Feynman diagrams. A user encountered an issue with the output of their diagram code, which did not render as expected. The solution provided involves compiling the LaTeX file using a specific sequence: latex -> dvips -> ps2pdf. To facilitate this process in TexShop, the user should include the command "%!TEX TS-program = latex" at the top of their LaTeX file. This ensures the correct compilation method is utilized, leading to the desired output of the Feynman diagram.

I'm trying to draw Feynman diagrams with the feynarts.sty package for LaTex. The problem is that if I write the following code

\begin{feynartspicture}(150,150)(1,1)
\FADiagram{}
\FAProp(0.,10.)(6.,10.)(0.,){/Straight}{0}
\FALabel(3.,9.18)[t]{$1$}
\FAProp(20.,10.)(14.,10.)(0.,){/Straight}{0}
\FALabel(17.,10.82){$2$}
\FAProp(6.,10.)(14.,10.)(0.8,){/Straight}{0}
\FALabel(10.,5.98)[t]{$3$}
\FAProp(6.,10.)(14.,10.)(-0.8,){/Straight}{0}
\FALabel(10.,14.02){$4$}
\FAVert(6.,10.){0}
\FAVert(14.,10.){0}
\end{feynartspicture}

I get this

instead of this

how can I fix this?

How did you compile the file and what output did you look at?
 
I found the solution. I need to compile following the latex -> dvips -> ps2pdf sequence. This can be made in TexShop putting the command

%!TEX TS-program = latex

in the first line of the tex file.
