CTAN upload: fig2vect-1.0.0
by CTAN Announcements 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

On Wed, 1 Jun 2005 Dirk Krause submitted a new package fig2vect to CTAN. Name of contribution: fig2vect-1.0.0 Location on CTAN: /support/fig2vect Summary description: Yet another Fig to vector converter License type: bsd Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The fig2vect program converts figures from jFig, XFig and WinFig to MetaPost, EPS, PDF, TeX and SVG. The primary web site for source and docu is http://fig2vect.sourceforge.net . Program highlights: - Designed for use with LaTeX/pdfLaTeX. Handling of special text is left up to LaTeX, for non-special text you can choose whether or not to use LaTeX. For text handled by LaTeX you have three choices: - Use the fonts exactly as specified in the Fig file. - Convert to use fonts in the same features (serif/sans-serif/monospaced, normal/bold, upright/italic). This allows to use the same font families in the graphics as in the document where the graphics is included. - Write no font selection commands (text contains commands itself if necessary). - X-splines are approximated by a sequence of Bezier spline segments. - Fill patterns are drawn by vector graphics operations. - Image width and height are found by inspecting graphics elements (except texts), the paper format name is not used here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

On Wed, 1 Jun 2005, Hendri Adriaens uploaded version 1.2 of his etaremune package to CTAN. This package implements the etaremune environment which is similar to the enumerate environment, except that labels are decreasing instead of increasing.
