With two central members of the CTAN team absent and the third extremely busy, response to requests in the period from 1 to 5 May (in particular) is likely to be even more than usually sluggish. The Cambridge server will shut down its upload mechanisms, but will continue to serve files by ftp or http. We apologise in advance for any difficulties users may experience: we will restore service as quickly as possible. Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

CTAN has a new package: boxhandler
by CTAN Announcements 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

On Mon, 24 Apr 2006 Steven B. Segletes submitted the new package boxhandler to CTAN. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/boxhandler Summary description: Flexible Captioning and Deferred Box/List Printing License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides a powerful, yet simple, interface for managing and manipulating the captions of boxed objects (e.g., tables and figures). In addition to providing wide flexibility in the presentation style of the captions, this package, when used in combination with conditionally compiled LaTeX source codes, provides the ability to defer or preempt the presentation of figures, tables, and their associated lists. In this way, one can, for example, by changing a single line of source code in the .tex file, change the output of LaTeX from a technical report with tables and figures interspersed in the text, to a journal-manuscript submission, with figures collected at the end of document, as well as lof and lot deferred or preempted. Run `boxhandler.ins' through LaTeX to produce boxhandler.sty from boxhandler.dtx. Run `boxhandler.dtx' through LaTeX to produce the documentation. This program can be redistributed and/or modified, with attribution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Sch�pf

It provides macros for plotting various mathematical functions. Polynomials and their derivatives $f(x)=an*x^n+an-1*x^(n-1)+...+a0$ defined by the coefficients a0 a1 a2 ... and the derivative order; the Fourier sum $f(x) = a0/2+a1cos(omega x)+...+b1sin(omega x)+...$ defined by the coefficients a0 a1 a2 ... b1 b2 b3 ...; the Bessel function defined by its order; and the Gauss function defined by sigma. i need to add more to the catalogue: that will happen later today, in time for nightly updates.
