Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Diagram with two Elements and four Arrows

[bkarpuz]

Dear LC members,

I need to learn how to make a diagram with several arrows as in the attached figure.
I could not figure it out from http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Crea ... ics#XY-pic.
It would be very appreciated if you show me how to do it.

Thanks.

I would prefer the pgf/tikZ package. It allows to draw such commutative diagrams very easy.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning}

\begin{document}
  \begin{tikzpicture}[>=stealth]
    \node                       (A) {A};
    \node[below right=3cm of A] (B) {B};
    \draw[->] (A) |- (B) node[right,pos=0.25] {L};
    \draw[->] (B) |- (A) node[below,pos=0.75] {D};
    \draw[->] (A.325) -- (B.125) node[midway,above right] {M};
    \draw[->] (B.145) -- (A.305) node[midway,below left] {C};
  \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Study the package manual to draw more complex diagrams of this kind.
