by CTAN Announcements 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

On Tue, 21 Aug 2007 at 11:40 +0200, Lars Kotthoff submitted an update to the dottex package. The dottex package allows you to encapsulate `dot' and 'neato' files in your document (dot and neato are both part of graphviz; dot creates directed graphs, neato undirected graphs). If you have shell-escape enabled, the package will arrange for your files to be processed at LaTeX time; otherwise, the conversion must be done manually as an intermediate process before a second LaTeX run. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/dottex Summary description: Create dot/neato graphs directly from LaTeX License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package allows you to include dot and neato graphics in your LaTeX files. Dot is part of the graphviz package (http://www.graphviz.org/) and allows you to create directed graphs. Neato is for undirected graphs.
