CTAN submission -- WinShell 2.5
by Reinhard Zierke 05 Apr '04

05 Apr '04

----- Forwarded message from Ingo H. de Boer ----- I have uploaded a new version of WinShell to: ftp://ftp.dante.de/incoming/winshell Please replace all the files in: ftp://ftp.dante.de/pub/tex/systems/win32/winshell The licence is 'nosource'. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- WinShell is a graphical user interface for easy working with LaTeX or TeX. It includes a text editor, different tool bars and user configuration options. It is NOT a LaTeX system. An additional LaTeX package for Windows is needed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- best regards, Ingo -- Ingo H. de Boer http://www.winshell.de ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN submission -- chroma
by Reinhard Zierke 05 Apr '04

05 Apr '04

----- Forwarded message from ctan-upload ----- Name of contribution: chroma Name and email: Uwe Kern <chroma(a)ukern.de> Suggested location on CTAN: info/colour/chroma Summary description: Chroma: a reference book of LaTeX colors License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- v1.00 (2004/04/04) This reference book presents several lists of colors and their respective parameters in a number of color models. The lists are constructed either by parameters or by name. `Colors by parameters' displays systematic series of colors, based on 3-tuples of numbers that are interpreted as color parameters in the `rgb', `cmy', and `hsb' color models. `Colors by name' displays sets of colors that have been given specific names such that LaTeX users do not have to care about their parametrisation. However, as soon as there is the intention to use these colors outside the LaTeX world (e.g. website construction or drawing programs), the parameters suddenly gain importance. For each color name, we display - the color itself plus the name of the underlying model, - a 50%-tint (mixture with `white'), - a 50%-tone (mixture with `gray'), - a 50%-shade (mixture with `black'), - and the complementary color. Additionally, for the base colors defined by the `xcolor' package, also all 50%-mixes of base color pairs are included. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- XML file: ********************************************************************** <?xml version=1.0?> <!DOCTYPE entry SYSTEM ../catalogue.dtd> <entry id=chroma datestamp=2004/04/04 modifier=ftpmaint(a)dante.ctan.org> <about> <name>chroma</name> <caption>Chroma: a reference book of LaTeX colors</caption> <author> <name>Uwe Kern</name> <email>chroma(a)ukern.de</email> </author> <license type=lppl /> </about> <description> <abstract> v1.00 (2004/04/04) This reference book presents several lists of colors and their respective parameters in a number of color models.

CTAN submission -- ctable 1.6a
by Reinhard Zierke 05 Apr '04

05 Apr '04

----- Forwarded message from Wybo Dekker ----- I have uploaded ctable-1.6a.tar.gz at ftp.dante.de - ctable.sty provides commands to easily typeset centered table and (multiple-)figure floats, with footnotes. Instead of an environment, a command with 4 arguments is used; the first is optional and is used for key,value pairs generating variations on the defaults and offering a route for future extensions. - replaces ctable-1.6.tar.gz - unpack in macros/latex/contrib/ctable - LPPL - changes (relative to v1.6): 2 errors were corrected: * fboxsep and fboxrule changes made temporary * extra space behind tabulars removed ----- End forwarded message ----- Thank you for the upload. I installed the new version as suggested in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/ctable Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN package update: dvipng
by Jim Hefferon 31 Mar '04

31 Mar '04

A package has been updated at tug.ctan.org and those updates should appear in a day or two at your favorite mirror site. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: dvipng Author's name: Jan-Åke Larsson Location on CTAN: dviware/dvipng Summary description: A fast DVI to PNG converter License type: gpl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This program makes PNG graphics from DVI files as obtained from TeX and its relatives. Dvipng has undergone a number of improvements and bugfixes since being first released in the 0.x number series a year ago. The 1.0 release changes the behaviour of the -D switch and simplifies choice of resolution greatly (see below for details). It has been tested to a fair degree. Note the disclaimer in the COPYING file. Report any bugs you find, see README for instructions. - - -------------------- People who are upgrading from version 0.9 or earlier should read the following: This release changes the -D (resolution) option to specify the _output_resolution_ rather than the previous _base_resolution_. Changing output resolution from the default 100 dpi will now only need the -D option, as dvipng now calculates the required magnification and thus can render PK fonts suitable for any output resolution. There is no need anymore to specify by hand the base resolution, the Metafont mode, the quality, and the magnification. If you really want to use a Metafont mode different from the default `cx' mode, the separate --bdpi option is used for specifying the corresponding base resolution. In short, choosing the output resolution has become simple even when using PK fonts (but remember, the created PK fonts are normally cached on disk). - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/dviware/dvipng 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
