CTAn update: xcolor 2.10
by CTAN Announcements 30 Nov '06

30 Nov '06

On Wed, 29 Nov 2006, Uwe Kern submitted an update to the xcolor package. Xcolor provides easy driver-independent access to several kinds of color tints, shades, tones, and mixes of arbitrary colors. It allows a user to select a document-wide target color model and offers complete tools for conversion between eight color models. Additionally, there is a command for alternating row colors plus repeated non-aligned material (like horizontal lines) in tables. Colors can be mixed like color{red!30!green!40!blue}. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/xcolor/ License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2006/11/28 v2.10 * New features: - `fixinclude' option prevents dvips from explicitly resetting current color to `black' before actually inserting an .eps file via color{red}includegraphics{foo}. * Changes: - colorbox and fcolorbox made robust; - obsolete package option `pst' removed; - several changes to internal macros. * Bugfixes: - incorrect processing of cmyk-type current color `.'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/xcolor/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=xcolor 2.10 (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Currently two steps of symmetry reduction are supported. Das Paket gu.sty erleichtert das Setzen von einfachen kristallographischen Gruppe-Untergruppe-Schemata im Bärnighausen-Formalismus und/oder Lagenfortführungstabellen. Die einzelnen Elemente und Abstände werden innerhalb einer neuen Umgebung namens stammbaum mittels vorgegebener Kommandos definiert. Anschließend werden alle Abstände automatisch berechnet und der Stammbaum und/oder die Tabellen ausgegeben. Momentan werden maximal zwei Abstiegsschritte unterstützt. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/gu .
