CTAN package update: NCCTOOLS
by Jim Hefferon 09 Jun '05

09 Jun '05

A package has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon make its way to your favorite mirror. Thanks for the update, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: NCCTOOLS bundle Author's name: Alexander I Rozhenko Author's email: roj(a)front.ru Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ncctools Summary description: Release 3.1 License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This release of the bundle contains many significant improvements listed below. Three new packages are introduced: the `ncccomma' package provides a smart comma that can work in math as an ordinary symbol or as a punctuation mark (this comma is a bit smarter than in the `icomma' package); the `mboxfill' package wraps TeX's hfill with leaders (all leader types are supported and one more case is provided --- stretched leaders); the `nccrules' package implements multiline dash rule command, dash rule fill command, and provides two commands generating new footnote rules (these rules are useful in the `manyfoot' package). In the `nccmath' package, new medium-size commands are introduced: mfrac is an intermediate fraction between dfrac and frac; mbinom is the medium-size binom; the medint and medop produce medium-size integrals and sum-like operators; mmatrix and medsize environments allow smaller matrices and formulas. In the `nccsect' package, the compatibility with the `supertabular' and `longtable' packages is provided; captions control is improved; epigraph and eforechapter hooks are introduced; StartFromTextArea and StartFromHeaderArea commands are introduced. In the `manyfoot' package, the SetFootnoteHook command is introduced. In the `dcounter' package, an existing counter can work now as a dynamic counter. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ncctools although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors .

CTAN upload: fig2vect-1.0.0
by CTAN Announcements 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

On Wed, 1 Jun 2005 Dirk Krause submitted a new package fig2vect to CTAN. Name of contribution: fig2vect-1.0.0 Location on CTAN: /support/fig2vect Summary description: Yet another Fig to vector converter License type: bsd Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The fig2vect program converts figures from jFig, XFig and WinFig to MetaPost, EPS, PDF, TeX and SVG. The primary web site for source and docu is http://fig2vect.sourceforge.net . Program highlights: - Designed for use with LaTeX/pdfLaTeX. Handling of special text is left up to LaTeX, for non-special text you can choose whether or not to use LaTeX. For text handled by LaTeX you have three choices: - Use the fonts exactly as specified in the Fig file. - Convert to use fonts in the same features (serif/sans-serif/monospaced, normal/bold, upright/italic). This allows to use the same font families in the graphics as in the document where the graphics is included. - Write no font selection commands (text contains commands itself if necessary). - X-splines are approximated by a sequence of Bezier spline segments. - Fill patterns are drawn by vector graphics operations. - Image width and height are found by inspecting graphics elements (except texts), the paper format name is not used here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
