Free software to make energy level diagrams?

[Xgkkp]

Hi, I am currently doing the write up for a project (Mercury spectroscopy), and would like to put some energy level diagrams in, with the transitions being shown.

Does anyone know any software (preferably free/open source) that could do this, or help? Or if there is a way to do it in latex directly that would also be good. Otherwise, does anyone know anywhere I could get a template to use?

The Openoffice drawing program is good for making figures. Mathamatica can also make figures. And you could also do it in Latex.

I understand the importance of accurately depicting energy level diagrams in research projects. There are several software options available for creating energy level diagrams, both paid and free. One popular and user-friendly option is the Energy Level Diagram Maker software, which is available for free download. Other free options include DrawChem and ChemDoodle. These software programs allow you to easily input energy levels and transitions, and customize the appearance of your diagrams.

If you prefer to use LaTeX, there are packages such as TikZ and ChemFig that can assist in creating energy level diagrams within your document. However, these may require a bit more technical knowledge and may not have as many customization options as dedicated software programs.

Additionally, many scientific journals and organizations provide templates for creating energy level diagrams, so it may be worth checking with the specific journal or organization you plan to submit your project to.

Overall, there are various options available for creating energy level diagrams, and it may be helpful to explore and experiment with different software to find the one that best suits your needs.
