I have little knowledge about the package xypic.

I am stuck with the following problems:

  1. I cannot able drow a circle with radius BC, centered at C.
  2. I want to draw the five dots on the line.
  3. For better looking I want to draw the points 2, 1, 0, -1 and -2 as well as A, B, C, D and E out side the line.

Here is my effort:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xypic}
\begin{document}
\xymatrix{
\ar[dddddd] \\
.2 & & & & &\\
.1 & & &D & & \\
.0 \ar[r]^p & \ar[rrrr] &A  & C &B &\\
.-1& & &E \\
.-2 & & &\ar[uuuu]\\
\ar[uuuuuu]
}
\end{document}

  • Could you post a picture of how the output should look like? I have the feeling that this is less a commutative diagram and more a general diagram that can also been drawn using PSTricks or TikZ (or …). Commented Mar 26, 2013 at 6:53

With PSTricks.

enter image description here

\documentclass[pstricks,border=12pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{pst-eucl}
\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}(-2.25,-1.25)(2.25,1.25)
    \pstGeonode[PosAngle=-135]
        (-2,0){E}
        (-1,0){D}
        (0,0){C}
        (1,0){B}
        (2,0){A}
    \pstLineAB{E}{A}
    \pstCircleOA{C}{B}
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}

    @MdKutubuddinSardar TeXLive distribution with Ubuntu 10.04 is very old(may be 2009).Installing Vanilla TeXlive gives all latest packages, but don't do it if you are unaware of linux installation. for the time being change the \documentclass[pstricks,border=12pt]{standalone} to \documentclass{article} \usepackage[pdf]{pstricks} run with pdflatex engine Commented Mar 26, 2013 at 7:26
