CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 15 Aug '10

15 Aug '10

On Sun, 15 Aug 2010 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the pdfcomment package. Summary description: A user-friendly interface to PDF annotations License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For a long time pdflatex has offered the command pdfannot for inserting arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe Reader. At least for the writer of LaTeX code, the package offers a convenient and user-friendly means of using pdfannot to provide comments in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports: LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx and XeLaTeX. Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers is sparse to nonexistent. The reference viewer for the development of this package is Adobe Reader. License: LPPL Changes in v1.6: - added support for using pdfmarkupcomment in math mode (see: example_math_markup.pdf) feature request by: Ross Moore (he also contributed ideas and code) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=pdfcomment (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

tex.ac.uk power cuts
by CTAN Announcements 15 Aug '10

15 Aug '10

tex.ac.uk has at least one power cut scheduled on monday 2010-08-16 (installing power-monitoring equipment to help us keep on the green straight and narrow). the cut(s) is/are likely to occur at some stage in the morning (cambridge time, GMT +0100); as system manager, please accept my apologies in advance. ironically, the laboratory has suffered 4 unscheduled power cuts in the last 48 hours; the reason is unclear -- my apologies for this too.

CTAN has a new package: numericplots
by CTAN Announcements 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

This should be at your local mirror. Thanks again Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College .................................................................................. The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: NumericPlots Version number: 0.9 Author's name: Thomas Koenig, Alexander Michel Location on CTAN: /graphics/numericplots Summary description: package to plot numeric data using pstricks (including Matlab export) License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Plotting numeric data is a task which often has to be done for scientific papers. In LaTeX, however, it is only possible to include graphics created with an external program. The pstricks-packages provide very many commands to generate graphics in LaTeX. To generate simple graphics from numeric data, however, it is difficult to use. This package provides a simpler interface for the pstricks-package to plot numeric data. Additionally, it contains some Matlab functions to export such numeric data from Matlab for easy plotting of Matlab data in LaTeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/numericplots .
