CTAN has a new package: autoarea
by CTAN Announcements 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

On Tue, 12 Aug 2008 Uwe Lück submitted the package autoarea to CTAN. Location on CTAN: /graphics/pictex/addons Summary description: automatic bounding boxes with PiCTeX License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PiCTeX is a generic set of TeX macros for drawing diagrams and pictures, dating from 1987, written and described by Michael J. Wichura. The last extensions contributed by other authors may have occurred 1999. It may be difficult to find somebody who uses it today ... yet two users asked me for help this year ... A new generic package `autoarea.sty' makes PiCTeX recognize lines and arcs in determining the bounding box of a picture (PiCTeX so far accounted for put commands only). The bounding box is essential for proper placement of a picture between running text and margins and for keeping the running text away. Examples provided demonstrate what `autoarea.sty' does. Yes, it should suffice to load the package to have this effect. Read additional instructions and informations in the file `autoarea.sty'. `autoarea.sty' has been tested successfully on 42 geometric figures from a work by medieval scholar N. Oresme, as reproduced by Dr. Richard Lorch using PiCTeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pictex/addons/autoarea .
