XY-Pic diagram in the center of the page
Veerle
I use MikTeX 2.1.
I tried to center my XY-Pic diagram:
\begin{center}
\xymatrix{...}
\end{center}
But this doesn't work!
Has anyone got an idea how I can solve this problem?

probably
\begin{center}
\leavevmode
\xymatrix{...}
\end{center}
(xy-pic isn't just a latex package, and it would appear it doesn't
create "latex-style" objects. another way around this would be to put
the matrix in an \mbox or something.)

I've just picked one at random. Believe me, its centered!

I recently ran into this problem myself. I ended up putting the XY-Pic
diagram in a one column tabular and centered this. Something like this
worked for me:
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{c}
\xymatrix{...}
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
Lars Madsen
\usepackage[all]{xy}
\CompileMatrices
.
.
.
\[
\xymatrix{....}
\]
works fine for me (on my system the diagram is now centered)

The center environment and the \centering commands work on paragraphs.
Robin's suggestion to add \leavevmode causes a paragraph to start.
(In fact, the previous thread with this same title listed a number
of solutions, most of which worked because the object used started a
paragraph.)
Your example is centered because the (plain) TeX command \enskip starts
a paragraph. But your centering will be slightly off (by half the width
of \enskip).
