CTAN update: eqparbox
by CTAN Announcements 02 Jan '10

02 Jan '10

This should soon be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ..................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: eqparbox Version number: 3.1 Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/eqparbox Summary description: Put text in boxes that are as wide as the widest text License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LaTeX users sometimes need to ensure that two or more blocks of text occupy the same horizontal space on the page. To that end, the eqparbox package defines eqparbox, eqmakebox, eqframebox, and eqsavebox commands, which work just like parbox, makebox, framebox, and savebox, respectively, except that instead of specifying a width, one specifies a tag. All boxes with the same tag -- regardless of where they are in the document -- will stretch to fit the widest box that uses that tag. This simple, equal-width mechanism can be used for a variety of alignment purposes, as is evidenced by the examples in eqparbox's documentation. Version 3.1 includes Rob Verhoeven's eqmakebox contribution and supplements it with eqframebox and eqsavebox. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/eqparbox .

The offset in transformed 3D labels with render=0 was fixed. 3D planar arrowhead gaps were fixed; a duplicate 3D arrow angle factor was removed. Pen width contributions to the box and ellipse envelopes were fixed. A more robust contour algorithm based on paraboloid approximation was implemented. A polargraph routine for arrays was implemented. Default font problems were fixed. The pdfborder={0 0 0} option was added to settings.hyperrefOptions; the hypersetup command is now used to avoid hyperref option clashes. The size of pngalpha images was fixed; the pngalpha driver is used only if antialias=2. The -alpha Off default convert option was removed in favour of convertOptions=-alpha Off. Inlinetex support for xelatex was updated. Picture transformations are now respected by latticeshade. The Bessel functions J and Y were renamed to Jn and Yn. An operator --(block, block) was implemented to simplify the flowchart syntax. The expression % expands to the last result returned at the interactive prompt. The GLU-1.3 library included in the MSWindows distribution was fixed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/asymptote .

CTAN Update: tikz-timing
by CTAN Announcements 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

On Mon, 28 Dec 2009 Martin Scharrer submitted an update of the tikz-timing package. This package provides macros and an environment to generate timing diagrams (digital waveforms) without much effort. The TikZ package is used to produce the graphics. The diagrams may be inserted into text (paragraphs, hbox, etc.) and into tikzpictures. A tabular-like environment is provided to produce larger timing diagrams. Location on CTAN: /graphics/pgf/contrib/tikz-timing/ License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This update fixes a couple of smaller bugs in v0.7 and adds some functionality. The changes in detail are: General: * Fixed scaling behaviour of timing node shape. * Fixed scaling of reference coordinates. * Added `timing/unit`, `timing/xunit` and `timing/yunit` options. Parser: * Added local scopes `{ }` incl. push and pop of saved options. Documentation: * Changed manual to screen optimised format. * Updated examples. * Updated documentation. * Added figure to illustrate nodes inside a tikztimingtable. * Added subsection about how to scale the complete table. tikztimingtable: * Added alias for last row: '`last row`'. Renamed old internal node with the same name. * Changed ` ableheader` definition to allow two extra optional arguments for the two mandatory ones. * Updated table header macro in `nicetabs` library. * Added rectangle node '`all rows`' around all rows of a tikztimingtable. * Added label node names incl. 'all labels' node. `advnodes` library: * Fixed wrong border coordinates. Enabled old node centers for existing example code. * Fixed `EE` and `DH` anchor points. `counters` library: * Updated `counters` library to use macro instead of TeX counters to avoid problems with multiple definitions of the same counter character. * Added several new options for `counters` library. * Internal code improvements for `counters` libraries. * Added counter styles. `interval` library: * Fixed interval boundaries. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/tikz-timing/ .
