CTAN update: struktex
by CTAN Announcements 21 Aug '06

21 Aug '06

On Son, 20 Aug 2006 Jobst Hoffmann submitted an update to the struktex package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/struktex Summary description: Draw Nassi-Schneidermann charts License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Draw Nassi-Schneidermann charts Even in the age of OOP one must develop algorithms. Nassi-Shneiderman structure charts are a well known tool to describe an algorithm in a graphical way. This package StrukTeX presents some macros for generating those structure charts in a LaTeX document. The package provides the most important elements of a structured box chart, including processing blocks, loops, mapping conventions for alternatives, etc. Diagrams are drawn using the picture environment (using pict2e for preference). The author is Jobst Hoffmann. See also pict2e. If one is working with (X)emacs and AUCTeX the drawing process is supported by structex.el, a style file which knows the syntax of most of the commands from the StrukTeX package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
