New CTAN package: collectbox
by CTAN Announcements 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

On Mon, 18 Jul 2011 Martin Scharrer submitted the collectbox package. Summary description: Collect macro arguments as boxes License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides macros to collect and process an macro argument (i.e. something which looks like a macro argument) as horizontal box instead as a real macro argument. These arguments will be stored like when using savebox, sbox or the lrbox environment and allow verbatim or other special code. Instead of explicit braces also implicit braces in the form of group and egroup are supported. This allows to split the begin and end over different macros or to place them in the begin and end code of an environment. The provided macros are mainly intended to be used inside other macros or environments ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/collectbox . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/collectbox (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

CTAN Update: numericplots
by CTAN Announcements 14 Jul '11

14 Jul '11

On Wed, 13 Jul 2011 Thomas Koenig and Alexander Michel submitted an update to the numericplots package. Summary description: package to plot numeric data using pstricks (including Matlab export) License type: gpl ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Plotting numeric data is a task which often has to be done for scientific papers. In LaTeX, however, it is only possible to include graphics created with an external program. The pstricks-packages provide very many commands to generate graphics in LaTeX. To generate simple graphics from numeric data, however, it is difficult to use. This package provides a simpler interface for the pstricks-package to plot numeric data. Additionally, it contains some Matlab functions to export such numeric data from Matlab for easy plotting of Matlab data in LaTeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pstricks/contrib/numericplots (Note the new location!)

New CTAN package: ltxkeys
