License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GaPFilL (Graphics as PostScript Filtered for LaTeX) is a method for the generation of LaTeX picture environments in a four step way: i) Construction of the desired figure with a drawing program or with geometry software; ii) Export as a PostScript file; iii) Application of a Perl filter program to the PostScript text; iv) Transfer of the resulting code into a LaTeX document.

CTAN update: ctanify
by CTAN Announcements 16 Aug '09

16 Aug '09

This has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should within a day be at your local mirror. Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ...................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: ctanify Version number: 1.1 Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /support/ctanify Summary description: Prepare a package for upload to CTAN License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ctanify is intended for developers of LaTeX packages who want to distribute their packages via the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN). Given a list of filenames, ctanify creates a tarball (a .tar.gz file) with the files laid out in CTAN's preferred structure. The tarball additionally contains a ZIP (.zip) file with copies of all files laid out in the standard TeX Directory Structure (TDS), which facilitates inclusion of the package in the TeX Live distribution of TeX. Version 1.1 incorporates a patch submitted by Kirill Maslinsky that adds a command-line option to create only a TDS directory as opposed to a complete tarball. The documentation now separates commonly used command-line options from more obscure options and, at Juergen Fenn's request, notes that ctanify does not automatically run latex on the user's behalf. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/ctanify .

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: biblatex-dw Version number: 1.2j Author's name: Dominik Wassenhoven Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- version 1.2j - This is just a bugfix release.

CTAn Update: asymptote
by CTAN Announcements 16 Aug '09

16 Aug '09

On Sat, 15 Aug 2009 John Bowman submitted an update to the asymptote package. Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language for technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. Asymptote provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text. Location on CTAN: /graphics/asymptote Summary description: 2D & 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language License type: lgpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OpenGL animations, illustrated in glmovie.asy, were implemented. Viewportshift flicker was fixed. An empirical translation between OpenGL and PRC shininess was implemented. Splined parametric surfaces are now used to implement smooth thick lines and tubes. The projected bounding box calculation and angle calculations were fixed. A labelsurface function was added. The Headlamp light is now the default light; a light argument was added to shipout. Patches are now constructed with the usual orientation for a counterclockwise external path; the convention for tensor product shading was updated. Picture environments for TeX clipping are no longer nested. A texpath initialization bug was fixed. An ASYMPTOTE_HOME environment variable was added. Viewing was fixed for file names conntaining spaces. A picture sizing bug was fixed. An example of an inset graph was added. Type information for variables is now returned at the interactive prompt. Warning message suppression was improved; warnings in Asymptote code can now be disabled. The cyclic member of an array is now writeable; the obsolete cyclicflag and void cyclic(TINYINT(1)) functions were removed. File mode functions are now virtual members; this backwards incompatibility requires that line(file f) be changed to f.line(), etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/asymptote .
