Since they were first introduced in 1948, Feynman diagrams have been the go to representation for constructing mathematical expressions commonly found in high energy physics. For a while, high quality diagrams were only necessary for publications and due to the popularity of LaTeX as a typesetting tool, the most commonly used tools to create these diagrams were packages written for the LaTeX environment.\footnote{The UK List of TeX Frequently Asked Questions provides four possibilities for drawing Feynman diagrams in LaTeX: Michael Levine's \text{feynman} bundle ; Jos Vermaseren's \text{jaxodraw}; Thorsten's Ohl's \text{feynmf}; and Norman Gray's \text{feyn} package.}
While LaTeX does provide an extremely portable representation of the images, the description of the drawings can be rather cryptic to those who are not intimately familiar with the package.

1. For awhile there was only LaTeX and print, so Feynmp and Feynmf were good enough but very clunky. Then JaxoDraw came along and provided a user interface for creating feynman diagrams.
2. Still requires downloading a java library which can run into issues of versions and operating system compatability
