# How to include a diagram: Google Drawings

One of the shortcomings of the forum is that it lacks a good method for constructing diagrams.

It is possible to construct a 'google diagram' which can then be published. Once published its url can be included.

I found a discussion on Stack Exchange that allows one to draw figures like that below. However, the process seems to require some fiddling in general to make everything look nice.$\require{enclose} \def\uline#1#2{\enclose{updiagonalstrike}{\phantom{\Rule{#1em}{#2em}{0em}}}} \def\dline#1#2{\enclose{downdiagonalstrike}{\phantom{\Rule{#1em}{#2em}{0em}}}} % \def\place#1#2#3{\smash{\rlap{\hskip{#1em}\raise{#2em}{#3}}}} % \hskip 1em % \place{0}{12}{\bullet} \place{2}{0}{\bullet} \place{4}{4}{\bullet} \place{6}{0}{\bullet} \place{8}{8}{\bullet} \place{10}{0}{\bullet} \place{12}{4}{\bullet} \place{14}{0}{\bullet} \place{16}{12}{\bullet} % \place{.3}{4.4}{\dline{3.6}{7.6}} \place{2.3}{.5}{\uline{1.6}{3.6}} \place{4.3}{.4}{\dline{1.6}{3.6}} \place{4.3}{4.4}{\uline{3.6}{3.7}} \place{8.3}{4.4}{\dline{3.6}{3.6}} \place{10.3}{.5}{\uline{1.6}{3.6}} \place{12.3}{.4}{\dline{1.6}{3.6}} \place{12.2}{4.4}{\uline{3.7}{7.6}} % \place{-1}{12.5}{\frac01} \place{1}{-.5}{\frac13} \place{2.75}{4}{\frac12} \place{6.5}{-.5}{\frac23} \place{7.75}{9.5}{\frac11} \place{9}{-.5}{\frac32} \place{12.75}{4}{\frac21} \place{14.5}{-.5}{\frac31} \place{16.5}{12.5}{\frac10} % \hskip18em\Rule{0em}{14em}{1.5em}$
