CTAN update: asymptote
by CTAN Announcements 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

This should reach your local mirror in the next day. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ........................................................................ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: Asymptote Version number: 1.89 Author's name: John Bowman Location on CTAN: / Summary description: 2D & 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language License type: lgpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The draw, fill, and clip commands now pass raw SVG code directly to dvisvgm (version 0.8.6 required); zero-length paths are output as circles. Unsupported SVG elements are converted to PNG images; unimplemented SVG features such as Gouraud and tensor-patch shading can be (partially) emulated as vector elements using the -svgemulation option. The control point normalization of rational NURBS surfaces was fixed; 3D NURBS curves are now implemented. A problem with inlinemovie3 was fixed. The linetype pattern is now a real array: for backwards compatibility, a string is still accepted, but the return type of linetype(pen) is now real[] instead of string (backwards incompatible). The split routine was changed so that an empty delimiter splits on spaces, discarding duplicates. The palette routines are now guaranteed to generate at least the specified number of colours. PNG output produces a transparent background. Surface and path3 garbage collection was fixed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/asymptote .

CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 07 Nov '09

07 Nov '09

On Thu, 5 Nov 2009 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the pdfcomment package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment Summary description: A user-friendly interface to PDF annotations License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For a long time pdflatex has offered the command pdfannot for inserting arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe Reader. At least for the writer of LaTeX code, the package offers a convenient and user-friendly means of using pdfannot to provide comments in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports: LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx and XeLaTeX. Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers is sparse to nonexistent. The reference viewer for the development of this package is Adobe Reader. License: LPPL Changes in v1.5a: - added options liststyle and heading to command listofpdfcomments -> setliststyle, defineliststyle - added checks for undefined avatars, styles and liststyles ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment .
