What Software Can Be Used to Draw Feynman Diagrams on Windows?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on software options for drawing Feynman diagrams on Windows. The primary tools mentioned include FeynMF, a LaTeX package known for producing high-quality diagrams but not being Windows-compatible; FeynmanDraw, which is described as primitive; and FeynDiagram, a C++ source that is complicated to use. The consensus is that while FeynMF is the best option for quality, users are seeking a more user-friendly Windows application. Suggestions include using FeynMF in conjunction with diagram software like Dia or Visio for better results.

PREREQUISITES
  • FeynMF LaTeX package
  • Basic understanding of Feynman diagrams
  • Familiarity with diagramming software (e.g., Dia, Visio)
  • Basic knowledge of C++ for FeynDiagram
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore FeynMF for high-quality Feynman diagrams
  • Learn to use Dia for diagram creation on Linux
  • Investigate Visio for diagramming on Windows
  • Research alternative diagramming tools compatible with Windows
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, physicists, and students in particle physics seeking efficient methods to create Feynman diagrams on Windows platforms.

Hi,
I'm seeking for a software, witch will alow me to easily draw Feynman diagrams.
I have currently found:

FeynMF: LaTeX package. Not very nice to use, but good quality diagrams
FeynmanDraw: Very primitive WIN software. Not fine diagrams.
FeynDiagram: C++ source for drawing. Complicated and not so fine diagrams.

Meanwhile the best is FeynMF, althouth it is NOT a WIN application.

Isn't it any good WIN application for frawing fine Feynman diagrams ?

(Please, do not mention Photoshop, Paintshop and etc.)

I did a search and couldn't find anything better.

I know you said no photoshop, etc, but...

You could render the components in FeynMF and trace over the image with diagram software like Dia for linux or Visio for Windows (or even photoshop) to create a template for each piece. Then use the snap feature in these software packages to connect the pieces like a puzzle.
