Shifted Lines #21

Open giordano opened 8 years ago

giordano commented 8 years ago

I've seen sometimes Feynman diagrams with parallel lines drawn between two vertices (see for example https://cnlart.web.cern.ch/cnlart/221/node63.html and http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/121802/31416). Of course, they can be drawn manually using plain Ti_k_Z code, but it'd be great if this package provided a way to draw lines shifted by a specified amount and to a specified side.

For example, the syntax could be something like:

[...]
a -- b,
a -- [shift left=0.1] b,
a -- [shift right=0.1] b,
[...]

This time, I'm sure it's not written how to do this on the manual or on the site ;-)

Thanks to this your answer on TEX.se I got to know there exists by default a double Ti_k_Z key that I wasn't aware of (and that, by the way, doesn't seem to work with photon key, for example), but still the possibility to draw triple lines is missing.

One way to achieve this is with double and I can easily implement a triple style. I'll have a look at putting that in the documentation and making it work with the other styles (such as gluon and photon).

I'll also have a look at whether I can/want to implement a shifted style. The way I see it, this would allow to have a boson and fermion line side-by-side for example. This may be complicated though, so I will see when I get around to doing that.
