The user can specify the orientation of the main coordinate frame, and use standard TikZ commands and coordinates to render their tikzfigure. A secondary coordinate frame is provided to allow rotations and translations with respect to the main coordinate frame. In addition, The 3dplot package can also handle plotting user-specified functions in spherical polar coordinates, where both the radius and fill color can be expressed as parametric functions of polar angles. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/pgf/contrib/tikz-3dplot/ .

CTAN has a new package: txfontsb

This should be at your local mirror in a day. Thanks again, Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ................................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: txfontsb Version number: 1.00 Author's name: Antonis Tsolomitis Summary description: Adds true small caps and oldstyle numbers to txfonts and also greek support through Babel, for the Times font, based on GNU Freefont. License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package requires and extends txfonts in two ways. I adds true small caps and oldstylenumbers for the latin alphabet and also adds Greek support for Times. The glyphs for Greek are mainly from the GNU FreeFont. However, there are several modifications needed to make a type1 font work with Greek in Babel and so a derivative font has been created. Some kerning information was also added and the glyph final sigma was scaled to proper size in the roman font (there is a bug in GNU FreeFont, final sigma is too big). Greek contains also true small capitals ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/txfontsb .
