Philippe Nadeau submitted the rigidnotation package. Version: 1.0.0 2024-05-13 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Typeset vectors and matrices following the RIGID notation Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Notation conventions for rigid transformations are as diverse as they are fundamental to the field of robotics. A well-defined convention that is practical, consistent and unambiguous is essential for the clear communication of ideas and to foster collaboration between researchers. Based on an analysis of the proceedings of the International Conference on Robotics and Automation 2023, a new notation convention called RIGID was defined, which complies with the ISO 80000 Standard on Quantities and Units, is designed to be concise yet unambiguous, and easy to use. This LaTeX package facilitates the use of the RIGID notation in manuscripts preparation through simple customizable commands that can be easily translated into variable names for software development. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/rigidnotation The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/rigidnotation/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Simon Pfahler submitted the colorblind package. Version number: 1.0 2024-05-12 License type: lppl1.3c Summary description: Easy colorblind-safe typesetting Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In colorblind-safe documents, the contents are presented in a way that the same information is conveyed to readers regardless of a potential color vision deficiency. This package provides the tools necessary for colorblind-safe typesetting in LaTeX. It provides color schemes for a wide range of applications. The most commonly used schemes are qualitative schemes, providing easily distinguishable colors for use in graphics, but also for text coloring or highlighting. Additionally, diverging and sequential schemes are included which can be used for encoding quantitative information using colors. This package incorporates colorblind-safeness into the writing process, making it both less cumbersome and less error-prone. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/colorblind More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/colorblind CTAN is run entirely by volunteers and supported by TeX user groups.
