CTAN Update: xkeyval 1.9 and pst-xkey 1.3
by CTAN Announcements 16 Jan '05

16 Jan '05

On Sun, 16 Jan 2005, Hendri Adriaens uploaded xkeyval 1.9 and pst-xkey 1.3 The xkeyval 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. The pst-xkey package is an adaptation of the techniques of xkeyval to the needs of the family of packages associated with pstricks, so that those packages can safely, and with relative ease, use key-value syntax in their commands. General ---------------------------------------------------------- This is the last update of the xkeyval bundle for now. I will maintain the package though when problems come up and might implement new features if there are any requests. xkeyval 1.9 ---------------------------------------------------------- 1) Added delpresetkeys and delsavekeys 2) Added file extension to default families for ExecuteOptionsX and ProcessOptionsX 3) Added a test for back linking with pointers 4) Made the running command in XKV@whilist contain last used list entry at exit and 5) Updated license information pst-xkey 1.3 ---------------------------------------------------------- 1) Updated license information ---------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update.

CTAN package update: LaTeXPiX
by Jim Hefferon 13 Jan '05

13 Jan '05

A package has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should shom be at your favorite mirror. Thanks, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: LaTeXPiX Author's name: Nick van Beurden Location on CTAN: /systems/win32/latexpix Summary description: As Is License type: nosource Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Updates of the current version (CTAN15 release) include: * Completely rewritten internal database to store objects allowing faster drawing and editing of the objects with less memory. Thanks to Robert Rutten for early testing and debugging. * PGF output functionality added, though not stable yet. Only added for demonstration purposes. * EEPIC output changed to have extension .eepic instead of .out. The PGF drawings will have the extension .pgf. This change was moreover done because .out is already an output extension for LaTeX. * Multilevel undo and now working on more stages of the drawing process. * All objects selectable with CTRL+A. Arrow drawing used to have this shortcut key and is now assigned to CTRL+W. * Stripped buggy and more or less useless features like zoom form, instances, anti-aliasing. * When previewing PDF output, now closes all documents when Adobe Acrobat Reader is already open. The preview PDF file couldn't be overwritten in previous versions of LaTeXPiX because when it is opened in Acrobat the file gets a read-only status. * Added rulers with support for centimetres and inches. Moreover, the grid distance is also controllable from the main drawing grid. * Some preferences were not stored, thanks to Robert Rutten for finding this bug. * Crash occurred when registering manually. Thanks to the various users for pointing this out. * Set unitlength to 0.254 because in EEPIC 1 inch which equals 2.54 cm so 0.254 mm. * Transparency can be set for Windows NT based systems. * Using MDI form for drawing canvas, making toggling of toolbar redundant and offering more stable user interface. * Using RGB colours instead of CMYK colours. This prevents unnecessary conversions and is somewhat more accurate. * Option added to snap to grid without forcing the mouse to snap to grid too. * Log file can be save containing all statusbar messages for debugging purposes. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/latexpix 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
