CTAN has a new package: autoarea
by CTAN Announcements 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

On Tue, 12 Aug 2008 Uwe Lück submitted the package autoarea to CTAN. Location on CTAN: /graphics/pictex/addons Summary description: automatic bounding boxes with PiCTeX License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PiCTeX is a generic set of TeX macros for drawing diagrams and pictures, dating from 1987, written and described by Michael J. Wichura. The last extensions contributed by other authors may have occurred 1999. It may be difficult to find somebody who uses it today ... yet two users asked me for help this year ... A new generic package `autoarea.sty' makes PiCTeX recognize lines and arcs in determining the bounding box of a picture (PiCTeX so far accounted for put commands only). The bounding box is essential for proper placement of a picture between running text and margins and for keeping the running text away. Examples provided demonstrate what `autoarea.sty' does. Yes, it should suffice to load the package to have this effect. Read additional instructions and informations in the file `autoarea.sty'. `autoarea.sty' has been tested successfully on 42 geometric figures from a work by medieval scholar N. Oresme, as reproduced by Dr. Richard Lorch using PiCTeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pictex/addons/autoarea .

CTAN Update: sketch
by CTAN Announcements 11 Aug '08

11 Aug '08

On Sun, 10 Aug 2008 Eugene K. Ressler submitted an update to the sketch package. Location on CTAN: /graphics/sketch Summary description: 3d sketching in a PSTricks-like language; major update License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a major update to the previous CTAN upload of Sketch. It has important adaptations to newer PSTricks versions, adds support for ConTeXt, and fixes a few bugs. Sketch is a small, simple system for producing line drawings of three-dimensional objects and scenes. It began as a way to make illustrations for a textbook after we could find no suitable tool for this purpose. Existing scene processors emphasized GUIs and/or photo-realism, both un-useful to us. We wanted to produce finely wrought, mathematically-based illustrations with no extraneous detail and be able to easily overlay TeX math and text. The input language is reminiscent of PSTricks, so will be easy to learn for current PSTricks users. See http://www.frontiernet.net/~eugene.ressler . ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/sketch .
