\section{Introduction}  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: \text{feynman}, \textrm{axodraw}, \text{feynmf}, feynman, axodraw, feynmf,  and \text{feyn}.} feyn.}  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.
