CTAN upload: fig2vect-1.0.0
by CTAN Announcements 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

On Wed, 1 Jun 2005 Dirk Krause submitted a new package fig2vect to CTAN. Name of contribution: fig2vect-1.0.0 Location on CTAN: /support/fig2vect Summary description: Yet another Fig to vector converter License type: bsd Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The fig2vect program converts figures from jFig, XFig and WinFig to MetaPost, EPS, PDF, TeX and SVG. The primary web site for source and docu is http://fig2vect.sourceforge.net . Program highlights: - Designed for use with LaTeX/pdfLaTeX. Handling of special text is left up to LaTeX, for non-special text you can choose whether or not to use LaTeX. For text handled by LaTeX you have three choices: - Use the fonts exactly as specified in the Fig file. - Convert to use fonts in the same features (serif/sans-serif/monospaced, normal/bold, upright/italic). This allows to use the same font families in the graphics as in the document where the graphics is included. - Write no font selection commands (text contains commands itself if necessary). - X-splines are approximated by a sequence of Bezier spline segments. - Fill patterns are drawn by vector graphics operations. - Image width and height are found by inspecting graphics elements (except texts), the paper format name is not used here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

Re: xkeyval v2.5a
by CTAN Announcements 01 Jun '05

01 Jun '05

On Tue, 31 May 2005, Hendri Adriaens submitted an update to the xkeyval package to CTAN. This package is an extension of the keyval package and offers additional macros for setting keys and declaring and setting class or package options. The package allows the programmer to specify a prefix to the name of the macros it defines for keys, and to define families of key definitions; these all help use in documents where several packages define their own sets of keys. ----------------------------------------------- xkeyval v2.5a ----------------------------------------------- Missing `%' added to @selective@sanitize macro to avoid spurious blanks. ----------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update.

CTAN files updated: ushyph
by Jim Hefferon 31 May '05

31 May '05

The material below has been changed on tug.ctan.org and those changes should soon propagate to your favorite mirror. Thank you for the work, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: ushyph Author's name: Karl Berry Location on CTAN: /language/hyphenation Summary description: repackaging of additional US hyphenation patterns License type: dfsg Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Some of the files of US hyphenation patterns have been adjusted slightly. There are no changes to the actual patterns. ushyph.tex - updated license and comments. ushyph1.tex - a symlink to Knuth's patterns in systems/knuth/lib/hyphen.tex ushyph2.tex - a symlink to ushyph.tex; before it was a bare list of patterns, but that's inconvenient to actually use in the distributions. ushyphmax.tex - includes DEK's original patterns + exceptions from hyphen.tex, so the file becomes self-contained, like ushyph.tex. Kuiken approved these changes. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at these files at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/language/hyphenation although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors .
