This material has been updated and is working its way through the system. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: tablor Author's name: Guillaume Connan Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/tablor Summary description: Creates tables of signs and of variations. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, I think we are approaching the perfection with the 2.06 version :-) I have quite simplified the xcas treatment of latex : the code is shorter and more efficient. But most of all, you can now choose your own metapost preambule to deal with the tex files : you just need to change lines 20->32 of tablor.sty Annoying cdots have desappeared as well and expressions are in math mode. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/tablor .

CTAN package update: fancyvrb
by CTAN Announcements 13 May '08

13 May '08

Niall Mansfield has developed a patch to the current version of the fancyvrb package, and submitted it to me (as a conduit to ctan). The patch addresses a bug in the code related to selecting lines for verbatim printing: if first selected line == last selected line (i.e., only one line was to be printed), the package failed. The new version has been installed at cambridge ctan, and should be on its way around the world. Users may view the package's catalogue entry at: http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/fancyvrb.html or browse the package directory tree: http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/fancyvrb/ The catalogue entry will be (modestly) updated on the web, overnight.

CTAN has a new package: MathType 6 for Windows
by CTAN Announcements 10 May '08

10 May '08

This package has been installed and is working its way through the mirroring system. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ........................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: MathType 6 for Windows Author's name: Design Science, Inc. Location on CTAN: /support/mathtype Summary description: Mathematical equation editor for Windows. English, French, and German editions. License type: other-nonfree Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MathType is a point and click mathematical equation editor. It is the full-featured version of the Equation Editor that comes with Microsoft Office and other products. While its mouse-centric user interface is somewhat the antithesis of TeX's, it has a number of features that may be of interest to members of the TeX community: - It works with many Windows applications that TeX does not work directly with, such as word processors, presentation programs like PowerPoint, and many more. You can even place equations in flowcharts made with programs like Visio. - It can produce TeX and LaTeX code from its equations. This can be helpful to someone learning TeX or just to take advantage of MathType's ability to work directly in math notation in order to get the nested braces right on a particularly gnarly equation. - You can even type TeX language directly into the MathType window. This allows you to get the best of both the WYSIWYG editing and TeX worlds. - MathType can also produce GIF files for websites and blogs and EPS files for desktop publishing chores. MathType is supplied here as a 30-day evaluation. If you decide to purchase MathType, you can use the Order MathType command within MathType itself to purchase a product key. You can also visit the Design Science website to learn more about MathType. If you have questions, email them to support(a)dessci.com.

CTAN Update: animate
by CTAN Announcements 10 May '08

10 May '08

On Fri, 9 May 2008 Alexander Grahn submitted an update to the animate package for creating portable PDF animations from graphics files and inline graphics. The package provides an interface to create portable, JavaScript driven PDF animations from sets of graphics files or from inline graphics, such as LaTeX picture environment, PSTricks or pgf/TikZ generated pictures, or just from typeset text. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/animate License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Animations produced with this updated version of animate.sty can now be played in the current Adobe Reader 8 at a reasonable speed as well. You might want to experiment with the graphical hardware acceleration feature that was introduced in Reader 8. Go to menu `Edit'-->`Preferences'-->`Page Display'-->`Rendering' to see whether hardware acceleration is available. A 2D GPU acceleration check box will be visible if a supported video card has been detected. (This is currently a Windows-only feature, though.) Feedback is highly welcome, as in my case (different platform + unsupported video card) there is no hardware acceleration available. Without acceleration, animations are still somewhat slower (by approx. 20 %) in Reader 8 than in older versions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/animate .
