NAME
axohelp - helper program for use of LaTeX package axodraw2 with pdfla-
tex.
SYNOPSIS
axohelp [options] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
Axohelp is a program used with the axodraw2, which is a LaTeX package
for drawing Feynman graphs (and some other simple graphics) in LaTeX
documents.
When the axodraw2 package is used with pdflatex (or lualatex or xela-
tex) it creates a file with extension .ax1. This contains specifica-
tions of the graphics elements. Axohelp converts this to a file with
extension ax2 that contains the necessary pdf code. The .ax2 file is
read by pdflatex (etc) on its next run, and the contents of the .ax2
file are used in the final .pdf output file to draw the desired graph-
ics.
The files processed are specified as follows: When the filename on the
command line is of the form file.ax1, then the input file is file.ax1
and the output file is file.ax2. If the filename on the command line
does not have extension .ax1, then this extension is appended.
