NAME

       axohelp - helper program for use of LaTeX package axodraw2 with pdflatex.

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 xelatex) it creates a file
       with  extension  .ax1.   This  contains  specifications 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 graphics.

       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.
