CTAN Update: dvisvgm 0.7.2
by CTAN Announcements 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

On Thu, 2 Apr 2009 Martin Gieseking submitted an update to the dvisvgm package. Location on CTAN: /dviware/dvisvgm License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dvisvgm is a command-line utility that converts DVI files to SVG. The latest release introduces a caching mechanism for vectorized bitmap fonts. The slowest part during a DVI to SVG conversion using dvisvgm is the call of Metafont and the following vectorization of its bitmap output. To increase the conversion speed in this area, dvisvgm now keeps information about the vectorized glyphs in cache files for future usage. This avoids multiple Metafont calls for the same fonts as well as repeated vectorizations of the same glyphs. To reduce the length of font path description a bit, dvisvgm now generates SVG shorthand path commands if possible. For further information including a list of recent changes and pre-compiled binaries for Windows/MiKTeX see the project page http://dvisvgm.sourceforge.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/dviware/dvisvgm . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=dvisvgm (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 .

CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

On Wed, 1 Apr 2009 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the pdfcomment package. 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. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment Summary description: A user-friendly interface to pdf annotations License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- New in v1.4: - new annotation type: PDF sideline, line, polyline, polygon, square and circle annotation -> pdfsidelinecomment, pdflinecomment (type=line|polyline|polygon), pdfsquarecomment, pdfcirclecomment - new options: font, fontsize, fontcolor, borderstyle, dashstyle, bse, bsei, line, type, lineend, linebegin, icolor, caption, captionhoffset, captionvoffset ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment .

CTAN update: rotating
by CTAN Announcements 28 Mar '09

28 Mar '09

juergen spitzmueller found a bug in sebastian rahtz's rotating package, which i now maintain. i have now mended the bug (which i introduced), and i have installed a new version of the package on ctan (note that a file rotating.tds.zip also exists, for the convenience of those who maintain their own systems). users may visit the catalogue entry for the package at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/rotating.html or browse the package directory on the archive at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/rotating/ i have updated the catalogue entry in the repository, and the link above will be updated overnight, but is unlikely to deceive in any important way before then.
