- A diagrams package (such as Paul Taylor's) could handle this, though you'd
- have to figure out how to make the diamonds and triangles for yourself.
- (Paul Taylor's macros, at least, can make lines touch the source and
- destination boxes. This is important to note since most diagrams are
- drawn with space around the arrows.) See the FAQ list for diagram
- packages. Look also at xypic; it might give better results, but I haven't
- used it so I don't know.
