[gov2001-l] Fwd: [gov2000-list] Drawing flow charts in LaTex - Gov2001

29 Apr 2006

Kevin Quinn recommended a good package for this purpose, Graphviz,
www.graphviz.org.   The code for simple directed graphs is pretty easy.

Hi Clayton,

I'm afraid I don't see the error below. However, I can point you
toward a good open source tool for drawing directed (and undirected)
graphs. It is at:

http://www.graphviz.org/

Hope this helps.

Best,
KQ

  Hi all,

 The not so short intro to latex says that the text below should allow
 me to draw a flow chart of the structural relationships between the
 variables.  When I run this text, I am getting the message "undefined
 control sequence" for my \xymatrix{}
 function.  Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

 Thanks,
 Clayton

 \begin{displaymath}
 \xymatrix{
 VV \ar[d] \ar[r] & UU \ar[d] \ar[dr]& & &\\
  & ZZ & & XX \ar[dll] \ar[d] &
 }
 \end{displaymath}
