CTAN Update: TeXshade v1.16
by CTAN Announcements 19 Feb '07

19 Feb '07

On Mon, 19 Feb 2007, Eric Beitz submitted an update to the texshade package. TeXshade is an alignment shading software completely written in TeX/LaTeX which can process multiple sequence alignments in the .MSF and the .ALN file format. It provides in addition to common shading algorithms special shading modes featuring functional aspects, e.g. charge or hydropathy, and a plenitude of commands for handling shading colours, text styles, labels, legends and even allows the user to define completely new shading modes. TeXshade combines highest flexibility and the habitual TeX output quality-with reasonable time expenditure. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/texshade/ Summary description: Update of the DNA and protein sequence alignment LaTeX package TeXshade License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a new release (v1.16) of TeXshade. It fixes problems with unusual residues names, such as `O' or `X' and introduces new commands for more flexibility with the ruler and for exporting the consensus shading colors as a pymol script for shading 3D protein models. Further, BioTeX, i.e. TeXshade and TeXtopo, have a new home, see README or documentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/texshade/ .

CTAN Update: mathspic 1.10
by CTAN Announcements 19 Feb '07

19 Feb '07

On Mon, 19 Feb 2007 Apostolos Syropoulos submitted an update to the mathspic package. MathsPIC(Perl) is a development of the earlier MathsPIC(DOS) program, now implemented as a Perl script, being much more portable than the earlier program. MathsPIC parses a plain text input file and generates a plain text output-file containing commands for drawing a diagram. Version 1.0 produces output containing PiCTeX and (La)TeX commands, which may then be processed by plain TeX or LaTeX in the usual way. MathsPIC also outputs a comprehensive log-file. MathsPIC facilitates creating figures using PiCTeX by providing an environment for manipulating named points and also allows the use of variables and maths (advance, multiply, and divide)-in short-it takes the pain out of PiCTeX. Both the original DOS version and the new Perl version are available. Location on CTAN: graphics/mathspic License: dfsg ___________________________________________________________ This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/mathspic .

CTAN has a new package: xgreek
by CTAN Announcements 19 Feb '07

19 Feb '07

On Thu, 15 Feb 2007, Apostolos Syropoulos submitted the XeLaTeX package xgreek to CTAN. This package has been designed so to allow people to typeset Greek language documents using XeLaTeX. And it is released in the hope that people will use it and spot errors, bugs, features so to improve it. Practically, it provides all the capabilities of the greek option of the babel package. The package can be invoked with any of the following options: monotonic (for typesetting modern monotonic Greek), polytonic (for typesetting modern polytonic Greek), and ancient (for typesetting ancient texts). The default option is monotonic. The command setlanguage{lang} to activate the hyphenation patterns of the lang. This, however, can be done only if the format file has not been built with the babel mechanism. The package is beta software and it is hoped that users will provide input so to improve it.
