New on CTAN: beamercolorthemeowl

Ross Churchley submitted the beamercolorthemeowl package. Version: 0.1.1 2016-03-15 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: A flexible beamer color theme to maximize visibility Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The effectiveness of a colour scheme is heavily dependent on the conditions you present in. Colours that look nice on a computer screen may be invisible projected; colours that stand out in a lit room may strain the eyes in a dark room. If possible, you should carefully choose from Beamer's wide variety of colour themes to find one that fits your presentation's individual needs. The above paragraph would be excellent advice, except for one thing — only a handful of pre-selected colour themes are publicly available for Beamer. The vast majority of Beamer presentations use one of the built-in colour themes, which are effective in some conditions but inadequate in others. The goal of this package is to reduce the number of situations you find yourself without any good colour options. Owl is a flexible dark or light colour theme designed for maximum readability in environments where most themes fall flat. Main features: - Dark color theme for presenting in low-light conditions - Optional light color theme for presenting in bright ambient light - Redefines color names red, green, blue, yellow to values that are visible when displayed by certain projectors, particularly those with a very bright green channel and dim red and blue channels. This behaviour can be optionally disabled, with the provided colours also available as OwlRed, OwlGreen, etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package's Catalogue entry can be viewed at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/beamercolorthemeowl The package's files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/beamer-contrib/themes/beamercol… We are supported by the TeX users groups.

CTAN update: asymptote
by CTAN Announcements 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

John Bowman and Andy Hammerlindl submitted an update to the asymptote package. Version number: 2.37 License type: lgpl3 Summary description: 2D and 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The xasy graphical user interface now runs under both Python 2.7 and Python 3. Legacy versions (prior to 9.14) of Ghostscript can be supported by assigning settings.epsdriver=epswrite (or by setting the environment variable ASYMPTOTE_EPSDRIVER to epswrite). The quiet flag suppresses noninteractive standard output when settings.verbosity <= 1. A progress function was added to the plain_strings module. The smoothcontour3 module was optimized to use Bezier triangles where appropriate, along with a built-in least-squares routine and an improved root finder based on quadratic interpolation. If settings.sysdir is empty, preference is given to a version of kpsewhich in the same directory as the executable for determining the correct sysdir. The handling of degenerate normals of Bezier triangles was fixed. Bugs in forking, INT formatting, dash adjustment, subpaths, and guide reversion were fixed. Version 1.30 of asymptote.sty (auto-generated) and version 0.35 (or later) of media9.sty are now required. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/asymptote More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/asymptote We are supported by the TeX users groups.
