# Shift to the right or left bend arrow in xymatrix package

We suppose that we have a code build with xy package. For example this or another MWE:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[all]{xy}
\begin{document}
\xymatrix{
\Omega \ar@{->}[r] \ar@/{}^{2pc}/[r] & \Upsilon \ar@{->}[r]  & \Psi
}
\end{document}


What are the command to shift a curved arrow to left or to right without altering the positions of symbols or adding &'s appropriately?

Thank you very much in advance everyone.

You can change the “in” and “out” directions (section 1.6 of the guide):

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[all,cmtip]{xy}
\begin{document}

$\xymatrix{ \Omega \ar[r] \ar@/{}^{2pc}/[r] & \Upsilon \ar[r] & \Psi }$

$\xymatrix{ \Omega \ar[r] \ar@(u,u)[r] & \Upsilon \ar[r] & \Psi }$

\end{document}


You have more control with tikz-cd:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{tikz-cd}

\begin{document}

$\begin{tikzcd} \Omega \arrow[r] \arrow[r,bend left=90] & \Upsilon \ar[r] & \Psi \end{tikzcd}$

$\begin{tikzcd} \Omega \arrow[r] \arrow[r,bend left=90,looseness=1.7] & \Upsilon \ar[r] & \Psi \end{tikzcd}$

\end{document}
