Empty or not-compilable diagram using feynmf/feynmp package
TeX - LaTeX Asked on August 15, 2021
Strangely today I wanted to create a graph with feynmf/feynmp package but taking for example the @egreg’s answers here I not see nothing (I compile with TeXworks).
Does this anomaly happen only to me?
First code:
documentclass[11pt]{article}
usepackage{feynmp-auto}
begin{document}
begin{fmffile}{afilename}% choose something better!
begin{fmfgraph}(40,25)
fmfpen{thick}
fmfleft{i1,i2}
fmfright{o1,o2}
fmf{fermion}{i1,v1,v3,o1}
fmf{fermion}{o2,v4,v2,i2}
fmf{photon}{v1,v2}
fmf{photon}{v3,v4}
fmfdotn{v}{4}
end{fmfgraph}
end{fmffile}
end{document}
Second code:
documentclass[11pt]{article}
usepackage{feynmp}
DeclareGraphicsRule{*}{mps}{*}{} % for being able to read the produced file
begin{document}
begin{fmffile}{afilename}% choose something better!
begin{fmfgraph}(40,25)
fmfpen{thick}
fmfleft{i1,i2}
fmfright{o1,o2}
fmf{fermion}{i1,v1,v3,o1}
fmf{fermion}{o2,v4,v2,i2}
fmf{photon}{v1,v2}
fmf{photon}{v3,v4}
fmfdotn{v}{4}
end{fmfgraph}
end{fmffile}
end{document}
Screenshot:
I have compiled easily and I saw the graphs: see my recent answer: How to change the arrow-head size in `feynmp` (last edit 2021/07/14). Also with my code I not see nothing.
If I use this MWE:
Third code:
documentclass[11pt]{article}
usepackage{feynmf}%%%% using this package instead of feynmp-auto or feynmp%
begin{document}
begin{fmffile}{afilename}
begin{fmfgraph}(40,25)
fmfpen{thick}
fmfleft{i1,i2}
fmfright{o1,o2}
fmf{fermion}{i1,v1,v3,o1}
fmf{fermion}{o2,v4,v2,i2}
fmf{photon}{v1,v2}
fmf{photon}{v3,v4}
fmfdotn{v}{4}
end{fmfgraph}
end{fmffile}
end{document}
it is the same but I have this error:

I wasn't able to read the size data for this font,
so I will ignore the font specification.

You might try inserting a different font spec;
e.g., type `Ifont<same font id>=<substitute font name>'.

One Answer
I have set my editor TeXworks going on Preferences (you can see the yellow rectangle put in the top).
After I have clicked on pdfLaTeX+MakeIndex+BibTeX (you can see the green rectangle) and I have added, on configuration tool (to see the orange rectangle),
the line,
--tex-option=--shell-escape
and I see the graph, for example of my question here: How to change the arrow-head size in `feynmp`
