CTAN update: preview 11.81
by CTAN Announcements 28 Sep '05

28 Sep '05

On Mon, 26 Sep 2005, Ralf Angeli submitted an update to the preview package. License: GPL Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/preview/ Here are the release notes: The main purpose of the preview package is the extraction of selected elements from a LaTeX source, like formulas or images, into separate pages of a DVI file. This works with DVI files postprocessed by either Dvips and Ghostscript or dvipng, but it also works when you are using PDFTeX for generating PDF files. Current uses of the package include the preview-latex package for WYSIWYG functionality in the AUCTeX editing environment, generation of previews in LyX, as part of the operation of the ps4pdf package, the tbook XML system and some other tools. The preview package is being developed along and distributed with preview-latex. With the integration of preview-latex into AUCTeX as of version 11.81, the preview package became part of AUCTeX as well. It can therefore be obtained as part of AUCTeX distribution files available at <URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/auctex/>. CTAN provides the standalone preview package at <CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/preview>. For more information about the preview package please refer to the home page of AUCTeX at <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/>. Version 11.81 of the preview package is mainly a bug fix release accompanying the new version of AUCTeX and adopting its versioning scheme. Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

CTAN update: xcolor 2.04
by CTAN Announcements 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

On Sat, 24 Sep 2005 Uwe Kern submitted an update to the xcolor package. xcolor provides easy driver-independent access to several kinds of color tints, shades, tones, and mixes of arbitrary colors. It allows a user to select a document-wide target color model and offers complete tools for conversion between eight color models. Additionally, there is a command for alternating row colors plus repeated non-aligned material (like horizontal lines) in tables. Colors can be mixed like color{red!30!green!40!blue}. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/xcolor/ License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005/09/23 v2.04 * New features: - preparation for usage of additional - driver-provided - color models; - `pstricks' users may now specify explicit color parameters within psset and related commands, e.g. psset{linecolor=[rgb]{1,0,0}}; an illustrative example is given in xcolor2.tex. * Changes: - color model names sanitized (i.e., turned to catcode 12) throughout the package; - @namelet command deprecated because of name clash with `memoir' - please use XC@let@cc instead (more XC@let@.. commands are available as well); - simplified color conversion code by using the new XC@ifxcase command; - some minor changes to internal macros. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN has a new package: makeplot
by CTAN Announcements 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should soon make its way to your favorite mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon ===================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: makeplot Author's name: Jose-Emilio Vila-Forcen Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/makeplot Summary description: Easy plots from Matlab to LaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I'd like to announce the availability of my LaTeX2e makeplot Package. COPYRIGHT 2005 by Jose-Emilio Vila-Forcen (jemilio(a)ieee.org) This program can be redistributed and/or modified under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public License Distributed from CTAN INSTALLATION: - call 'latex makeplot.ins' and copy the makeplot.sty - file into a path searched by LaTeX. DOCUMENTATION: - execute the following list of commands to create the PDF: latex makeplot.dtx makeindex -s gind.ist -o makeplot.ind makeplot.idx makeindex -s gglo.ist -o makeplot.gls makeplot.glo latex makeplot.dtx pdflatex makeplot.dtx Writing papers, it is very normal that the result of some Matlab simulations will be displayed. Since existing approaches to create EPS files from matlab (laprint, print -eps,...) does not satisfy all my requirements of fonts, quality, portability and to be able to perform fast small changes, I decided to create this package which could be seen as an extension to the PsTricks family. This package creates easily plots taking the data from files, and allows enough configuration to fit most of the cases. In the documentation it is described the requirements of the data files and how to generate EPS files from Matlab. Files of the `makeplot' package: README This file makeplot.dtx Sourcecode, example file & documentation makeplot.ins Installation script generating the source and an example makeplot.pdf PDF Version of the documentation data1.mat data2.mat Data files for the example. They could be generated using the dtx but I don't know how to avoid 'endinput' at the end ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/makeplot .
