[Xy-pic] xymatrix and matrix

[Aleks Kleyn]

It is look interesting. I think in first case I had all in one row because I
use \overline in the diagram. I remember when I did not use array in the
second example it was similar to first one. But it is not such important. I
think in this case xybox is very useful tool on this image.

Thank you very much

It isn't a line. It's simply how a multi-row diagram is placed, with a
particular proportion of height vs depth.

You can adjust this by wrapping it in an \xybox and aligning that, using
<object> modifiers; viz.

\fbox{% just to show the size of the diagram
  \xy*!C\xybox{\xymatrix
   ...
   ...
 }}\endxy}


See the attached image, to appreciate the difference that this produces, in
your example.
