tug.ctan.org upload: TpX

A major package update has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon make its way to all other CTAN sites. Thank you for the update, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: TpX Author's name: Alexander Tsyplakov Location on CTAN: /graphics/tpx/ Summary description: TpX: A LaTeX-friendly drawing tool for Windows License type: gpl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TpX 1.2 is on CTAN TpX is a lightweight, easy-to-use graphical editor for Windows platform for creation of drawings and inclusion them into LaTeX files in publication-ready form. It can also be used as a stand-alone editor for vector graphics. The output is a file (with extension .TpX) containing the drawing as LaTeX code or as an includegraphics link to an external file created by the program. User can choose between several output formats. TpX saves its own data in TeX file comments so that the drawing could be loaded into TpX and edited again. This internal TpX format is based on XML and could be understood and edited easily. TpX can import EMF/WMF pictures created by other Windows applications, including many applications producing scientific graphs. In most cases the result is nice, though sometimes imported picture needs some manual editing. So TpX can be used as a EMF-to-any converter.

CTAN has a new package: arev

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon appear, as if by magic, at your favorite mirror. Thank you for the contribution, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: arev Author's name: Stephen Hartke Location on CTAN: /fonts/arev Summary description: Virtual fonts and LaTeX support files for Arev Sans License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package arev provides virtual fonts and LaTeX packages for using Arev Sans. Arev Sans is a derivative of Bitstream Vera Sans created by Tavmjong Bah by adding support for Greek and Cyrillic characters. Bah also added a few variant letters that are more appropriate for mathematics. The primary purpose for using Arev Sans in LaTeX is presentations, particularly when using a computer projector. Arev Sans is quite readable for presentations, with large x-height, open letters, wide spacing, and thick stems. The style is very similar to the SliTeX font lcmss, but heavier. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/arev .

CTAN has a new package: talk
by FTP archive maintainer 01 Aug '05

01 Aug '05

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org from whence it will go forth into the world -- and in particular to your favorite mirror -- real soon. Thanks for the contribution, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: talk Author's name: Martin Wiebusch Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/talk Summary description: A LaTeX class for presentations License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The talk document class allows you to create slides for screen presentations or printing on transparencies. It also allows you to print personal notes for your talk. You can create overlays and display structure information (current section / subsection, table of contents) on your slides. The main feature that distinguishes talk from other presentation classes like beamer or prosper is that it allows the user to define an arbitrary number of slide styles and switch between these styles from slide to slide. This way the slide layout can be adapted to the slide content. For example, the title or contents page of a talk can be given a slightly different layout than the other slides. The talk class makes no restrictions on the slide design whatsoever. The entire look and feel of the presentation can be defined by the user. The style definitions should be put in a separate sty file. Currently the package comes with only one set of pre-defined slide styles (greybars.sty). Contributions from people who are artistically more gifted than me are more than welcome! - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/talk .
