Since the first vertex is drawn with ordinate $y=0$, \bs vertextwoy will be the length of each gluon arm. Thus the lower exterior fermion will also be of this length. The upper fermion is of length \bs fermionlength, that is the length of the previously drawn fermion, assuring a match. The final fermion line is drawn from the specified point to $y=0$ using the same trick as above. An unfortunate defect of \FEYNMAN\ may be noticed by returning to the three-gluon vertices on the previous page. Occasionally one might wish to attach the upper left example onto the Eastern line of the lower right example. This would lead to a gluon of \bs FLIPPEDCURLY (\ie\ a non-central style) being joined with a \bs CENTRAL gluon configuration. This cannot be accomplished smoothly without employing arcane tricks usually involving some effort. % TO SEE HOW LOOK AT FILE VERTEST23.TEX, VERTEST24.TEX Similar comments can be made concerning certain combinations of three- and four-gluon vertices. Vertices may also be linked, capped and stemmed, as will be discussed in the next chapter. Examples of these features were given in section 2.10.2. Also in that section was a diagram labelled ``gluonburst''. We conclude this chapter by re-creating this using two \ddrawvertex\ commands. The reproduction of this diagram is an exercise for the section on placement of information in chapter four. In parting a brief word of caution about \TeX's memory usage. In the section on gluon lines it was pointed out that gluons consume vast portions of \LaTeX's 65500 words of internal memory (only 40000 of which is available to the user). This is trebly true for gluon vertices. Extending the vertices on the following page by two loops per line requires an additional 10000 words. In point of fact this one sample diagram uses 99\% of the available memory! For this reason it has been drawn slightly smaller than the example in chapter 2.
