This guide explains some features of Xy-pic that are relevant to
typesetting of `matrix-like diagrams' as used in, for example,
category theory; please refer to the reference
manual [8] for complete information on the described
constructions. The guide assumes that you have some experience in
using TeX for typesetting mathematics, e.g., have
studied [2, ch. 16-19,], [3, sec. 3.3,],
or [9], and that Xy-pic is installed on your TeX
system as described in the INSTALL
file accompanying the
distribution.
The first section describes what you need to get started, in
particular all that is needed to typeset the diagram in the abstract.
Section 2 and 3 explain advanced use of arrows and
entries, respectively. Finally, section 4 explains where and
under what conditions Xy-pic is available, gives the relation of
version
to previous versions, and lists further sources
of information.
Throughout we give exercises that you should be able to solve as you
go along; all exercises are answered at the end just prior to the
references and index.
