# amscd¶

The amscd extensions implements the CD environment for commutative diagrams. See the AMScd guide for more information on how to use the CD environment.

This extension is loaded automatically when the autoload extension is used. To load the amscd extension explicitly, add '[tex]/amscd' to the load array of the loader block of your MathJax configuration, and add 'amscd' to the packages array of the tex block.

window.MathJax = {
tex: {packages: {'[+]': ['amscd']}}
};


Alternatively, use \require{amscd} in a TeX expression to load it dynamically from within the math on the page, if the require extension is loaded.

## amscd Options¶

Adding the amscd extension to the packages array defines an amscd sub-block of the tex configuration block with the following values:

MathJax = {
tex: {
amscd: {
colspace: '5pt',
rowspace: '5pt',
harrowsize: '2.75em',
varrowsize: '1.75em',
hideHorizontalLabels: false
}
}
};

colspace: '5pt'

This gives the amount of space to use between columns in the commutative diagram.

rowspace: '5pt'

This gives the amount of space to use between rows in the commutative diagram.

harrowsize: '2.75em'

This gives the minimum size for horizontal arrows in the commutative diagram.

varrowsize: '1.75em'

This gives the minimum size for vertical arrows in the commutative diagram.

hideHorizontalLabels: false

This determines whether horizontal arrows with labels above or below will use \smash in order to hide the height of the labels. (Labels above or below horizontal arrows can cause excess space between rows, so setting this to true can improve the look of the diagram.)

## amscd Commands¶

The amscd extension implements the following macros: @, \minCDarrowheight, \minCDarrowwidth

And the following environments: CD
