CTAN Update: animate
by CTAN Announcements 04 Jul '07

04 Jul '07

On Wed, 4 Jul 2007, Alexander Grahn submitted an update to the animate package. The package provides an interface to create portable, JavaScript driven PDF animations from sets of graphics files or from inline graphics, such as LaTeX picture environment, PSTricks or pgf/TikZ generated pictures, or just from typeset text. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/animate Summary description: creating portable PDF animations from graphics files and inline graphics License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Today's update adds 3 options: begin={<begin text>} end={<end text>} timeline=<timeline file> The first two are for use with the `animateinline' environment only. <begin text> and <end text> are inserted into the code at start and end of each frame. Mainly used for setting up some drawing environment, such as begin={egin{pspicture}(...)(...)}, end={end{pspicture}}. The third option associates a timeline with the graphical material that has been embedded by animategraphics or `ainmateinline' and provides extended control of the order of appearance, superposition and repetition of the embedded material. It allows to contruct more sophisticated animations and may help to reduce the file size of the resulting PDF. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/animate .

The package described below has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: svn-multi Author's name: Martin Scharrer Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/svn-multi/ Summary description: v1.3 update of package License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Main update: Verbatim processing of keywords ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Keywords are now read verbatim, i.e. $ % & # _ ^ are now supported inside the keyword and do not create problems. Please note that the needed catcode changes alter the way (La)TeX is processing the macros (not only the content). Create care was taken to support most use cases (like putting comments between the multiline arguments of svnidlong) in order to not break any existing documents. Other changes: Package now obeys standard ofiles switch which suppresses the generation of the .svn file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/svn-multi/ .
