New CTAN package: FigSize
by Jim Hefferon 06 Apr '02

06 Apr '02

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should make its way to your favorite mirror in the next day or two. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org =============================================================== The following information was provided by our fellow contributor. Name of contribution: FigSize Author's name: Anthony A. Tanbakuchi Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/supported/figsize Summary description: Dynamic and automatic sizing of graphics and other elements relative to page. License type: lppl Announcement text given by the contribution's author: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The FigSize package enables automatic sizing of graphics, especially when including graphics with the graphicx package. The user only has to specify the number of graphics that should fit to a page or fraction there of and the package will dynamically calculate the correct graphics sizes relative to the page size. Thus, graphics can be auto-sized to fill a whole page or fraction and manual changes of graphic sizes are never needed when changing document layouts! Finally, the package's dynamic lengths can be used to allow other document element sizes to be dynamic. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

new CTAN package: plates
by Jim Hefferon 04 Apr '02

04 Apr '02

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should make its way to your favorite mirror in the next day or two. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org =================================================================== The following information was provided by our fellow contributor. Name of contribution: plates Author's name: Anthony A. Tanbakuchi Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/supported/plates Summary description: Float environment that is gathered to end of doc for special printing (eg. plates, photos, color diagrams) License type: lppl Announcement text given by the contribution's author: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The plates package provides a simple facility for inserting color figures in documents they should be gathered and printed together - --- just like in books with a section of color plates. The benefit of such a facility is to allow these special figures to be printed separately and later slipped into the final document. The package provides the plates environment to handle this situation. The user need only place these special figures in a plate environment instead of a figure environment and issue a command to print the plates at a chosen location in the document. Additional, if the author wishes to have a version of the document where the color figures are included in the text merely including the figures option will change the behavior of the plates environment to a figure environment, causing the plates to be printed directly in the text. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

New CTAN package: purifyeps
by Jim Hefferon 04 Apr '02

04 Apr '02

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should make its way to you local mirror in the next day or two. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org ============================================================ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor. Name of contribution: purifyeps Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: support/purifyeps Summary description: Make EPS files work with both latex+dvips and pdflatex License type: lppl Announcement text given by the contribution's author: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- While pdfLaTeX has a number of nice features, its primary shortcoming relative to standard LaTeX+dvips is that it is unable to read ordinary Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files, the most common graphics format in the LaTeX world. purifyeps converts EPS files into a purified form that can be read by *both* LaTeX+dvips and pdfLaTeX. The trick is that the standard LaTeX2e graphics packages can parse MetaPost-produced EPS directly. Hence, purifyeps need only convert an arbitrary EPS file into the same stylized format that MetaPost outputs. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

An update to the package FiXme has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should make its way to your favorite mirror in the next day or two. Thanks, Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org =================================================================== The following information was provided by our fellow contributor. Name of contribution: FiXme Author's name: Didier Verna Location on CTAN: latex/contrib/supported/fixme Summary description: FiXme, insert fixme notes in your documents License type: lppl Announcement text given by the contribution's author: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm happy to announce a new *major* release of FiXme, a package for inserting fixme notes in your documents, version 2.0. Many new features in this release, including a new layout option (inline), notes counters, a usage summary at the end of processing, more translations, and most important, three additional macros for including non-critical notes (meta comments about the document actualy) of different importance levels. FiXme provides you with a way of inserting fixme notes in your documents. Such notes can appear inline, as marginal notes, footnotes, index entries, in the log file and as warnings on stdout. It is also possible to summarize them in a list. When you switch from draft to final mode, any remaining fixme note will be logged, but removed from the document's body. Additionally, critical notes will abort compilation with an informative message. FiXme also comes with support for AUC-TeX. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

An update to the package CurVe has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should make its way to a mirror near you in the next day or two. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org ================================================================= The following information was provided by our fellow contributor. Name of contribution: CurVe Author's name: Didier Verna Location on CTAN: latex/contrib/supported/curve Summary description: CurVe, a LaTeX2e class for making curriculum vitae's License type: lppl Announcement text given by the contribution's author: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm happy to announce a new release of CurVe, a class for making curriculum vitae's, version 1.2. New in this release: more translations, a starred form for the entry macro, with a simplified syntax, and most important, support for standard bibliography inclusion. CurVe is a class package that hopefully will make your life easier when you want to write your CV. It provides you with a set of commands to create rubrics, entries in these rubrics etc. CurVe will then properly format your CV for you (possibly splitting it onto multiple pages, repeating the titles etc), which is usually the most painful part of CV writing. Another nice feature of CurVe is its ability to manage different CV flavors simultaneously. It is in fact often the case that you want to maintain slightly divergent versions of your CV at the same time, in order to emphasize on different aspects of your background. CurVe also comes with support for AUC-TeX. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
