CTAN update: asymptote
by CTAN Announcements 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

This should soon be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ........................................................................ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: Asymptote Version number: 1.91 Author's name: John Bowman Location on CTAN: / Summary description: 2D & 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language License type: lgpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The precision of the 3D perspective sizing routines were improved. The offset in transformed 3D labels with render=0 was fixed. 3D planar arrowhead gaps were fixed; a duplicate 3D arrow angle factor was removed. Pen width contributions to the box and ellipse envelopes were fixed. A more robust contour algorithm based on paraboloid approximation was implemented. A polargraph routine for arrays was implemented. Default font problems were fixed. The pdfborder={0 0 0} option was added to settings.hyperrefOptions; the hypersetup command is now used to avoid hyperref option clashes. The size of pngalpha images was fixed; the pngalpha driver is used only if antialias=2. The -alpha Off default convert option was removed in favour of convertOptions=-alpha Off. Inlinetex support for xelatex was updated. Picture transformations are now respected by latticeshade. The Bessel functions J and Y were renamed to Jn and Yn. An operator --(block, block) was implemented to simplify the flowchart syntax. The expression % expands to the last result returned at the interactive prompt. The GLU-1.3 library included in the MSWindows distribution was fixed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/asymptote .

CTAN Update: tikz-timing
by CTAN Announcements 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

On Mon, 28 Dec 2009 Martin Scharrer submitted an update of the tikz-timing package. This package provides macros and an environment to generate timing diagrams (digital waveforms) without much effort. The TikZ package is used to produce the graphics. The diagrams may be inserted into text (paragraphs, hbox, etc.) and into tikzpictures. A tabular-like environment is provided to produce larger timing diagrams. Location on CTAN: /graphics/pgf/contrib/tikz-timing/ License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This update fixes a couple of smaller bugs in v0.7 and adds some functionality. The changes in detail are: General: * Fixed scaling behaviour of timing node shape. * Fixed scaling of reference coordinates. * Added `timing/unit`, `timing/xunit` and `timing/yunit` options. Parser: * Added local scopes `{ }` incl. push and pop of saved options. Documentation: * Changed manual to screen optimised format. * Updated examples. * Updated documentation. * Added figure to illustrate nodes inside a tikztimingtable. * Added subsection about how to scale the complete table. tikztimingtable: * Added alias for last row: '`last row`'. Renamed old internal node with the same name. * Changed ` ableheader` definition to allow two extra optional arguments for the two mandatory ones. * Updated table header macro in `nicetabs` library. * Added rectangle node '`all rows`' around all rows of a tikztimingtable. * Added label node names incl. 'all labels' node. `advnodes` library: * Fixed wrong border coordinates. Enabled old node centers for existing example code. * Fixed `EE` and `DH` anchor points. `counters` library: * Updated `counters` library to use macro instead of TeX counters to avoid problems with multiple definitions of the same counter character. * Added several new options for `counters` library. * Internal code improvements for `counters` libraries. * Added counter styles. `interval` library: * Fixed interval boundaries. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/tikz-timing/ .

CTAN has a new package: tikz-qtree
by CTAN Announcements 23 Dec '09

23 Dec '09

This should within a day be at your local mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ...................................................................................
