Are there any Macintosh programs which will draw mathematical diagrams?
These are the sort of diagrams I mean (or as close as I can get with
typewriter graphics):
A ---> B ---> C
| | |
| | | ------>
v v v A B -----> C
D ---> E ---> F ------> \ |
\ |
\ v
---> D
p
A,B
[FA,B] --------> [A,GB]
D C
^ ^
| |
--.Fa | | --.a
| |
| |
[FA',B] --------> [A',GB]
D p C
A',B
I have seen MacEqn and Expressionist, which seem ideal for drawing
complicated integrals and matrices, but they dont do the sort
of mathematics that I do. At present, I use MacDraw, which leaves a lot
to be desired - arrowheads the size of icecream cones, no mixing of
styles and fonts in text items. Ideally, I would like a program that will
let me drag a vertex of one of these diagrams, and drag along all the arrows
connected to it.
