Diagrams for Quantum Field Theory
This folder contains the source code for all the Feynman diagrams in the QFT book. The Feynman diagrams are drawn with LaTeX using the feynmp-auto
package, and then converted to SVGs for inclusion in the book.
Development
To convert the LaTeX output to SVGs, the following semi-automated process is used:
- Using a LaTeX compiler (or Overleaf) compile the LaTeX sources into a PDF
- Use Inkscape to convert the PDF to an SVG. This can be done on the command-line with
inkscape THE_DIAGRAM.pdf -o THE_SVG.svg
- Manually resize the diagram in Inkscape by resizing the document to a width of 400px and height of 300px, and centering-aligning the whole diagram
