CTAN package update: dot2texi
by CTAN Announcements 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should make it to your favorite mirror real soon. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: dot2texi Author's name: Kjell Magne Fauske Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/dot2texi Summary description: Create graphs within LaTeX using Graphviz and the dot2tex tool License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The dot2texi package allows you to embed graphs in the DOT graph description language in your LaTeX documents. The dot2tex[1] tool is used to invoke Graphviz[2] for graph layout, and to transform the output from Graphviz to LaTeX code. The generated code relies on the TikZ and PGF package or the PSTricks package. The process is automated if shell escape is enabled. New in version 2.0: - Improved platform detection. Windows users no longer need to specify the miktex option. - Added forceshell package option. - Added codeonly, styleonly and autosize environment options. [1] http://www.fauskes.net/code/dot2tex/ or in graphics/dot2tex on CTAN [2] http://www.graphviz.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/dot2texi . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/dot2texi (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 .

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at a mirror near you. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ....................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: dot2tex Author's name: Kjell Magne Fauske Location on CTAN: /graphics/dot2tex/ Summary description: Convert graphs generated by Graphviz to LaTeX friendly formats License type: dfsg Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dot2tex is a tool for converting graphs rendered by Graphviz to formats that can be used with LaTeX. The purpose of dot2tex is to give graphs generated by Graphviz a more LaTeX friendly look and feel. This is accomplished by converting xdot output from Graphviz to a series of TikZ and PGF, or PSTricks commands. This approach allows: * Typesetting labels with LaTeX, allowing mathematical notation. * Using native PSTricks and PGF/TikZ commands for drawing arrows. * Using backend specific styles to customize the output New in version 2.7.0 is the --codeonly option for tighter integration with the dot2texi.sty LaTeX package ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/dot2tex/ .
