by CTAN Announcements 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

On Tue, 21 Aug 2007 at 11:40 +0200, Lars Kotthoff submitted an update to the dottex package. The dottex package allows you to encapsulate `dot' and 'neato' files in your document (dot and neato are both part of graphviz; dot creates directed graphs, neato undirected graphs). If you have shell-escape enabled, the package will arrange for your files to be processed at LaTeX time; otherwise, the conversion must be done manually as an intermediate process before a second LaTeX run.

As a consequence: - *Captionskip option redefined*: 0pt value now corresponds to LaTeX defaults ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ctable .
