CTAN has a new package: pgfopts
by CTAN Announcements 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

This package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: pgfopts Author's name: Joseph Wright Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/pgfopts Summary description: LaTeX package options with pgfkeys License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Using key-value options for packages and macros is a good way of handling large numbers of options with a clean interface. The pgfkeys package provides a very well designed system for defining and using keys, but does not make this available for handling LaTeX class and package options. The pgfopts package adds this ability to pgfkeys, in the same way that kvoptions extends the keyval package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pgfopts . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/pgfopts (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 .
