CTAN ahs a new package: FigBib
by Jim Hefferon 12 Aug '04

12 Aug '04

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and it should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thank you for the contribution, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: FigBib Author's name: Jan Poland Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/figbib Summary description: organize figure databases with BibTeX License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FigBib lets you organize your figures in BibTeX databases. Some FigBib features are: - - - Store and manage figures in a BibTeX database - - - Include figures in your LaTeX document with one short command - - - Generate a List of Figures containing more/other information than the figure captions - - - Control with one switch where to output the figures, either as usual float objects or in a separate part at the end of your document FigBib is for LaTeX authors who have to organize many figures. In this case, it may not be convenient to manage all information in a ``low level manner directly in the documents. Instead, it would be desirable to have a database which contains the images, corresponding captions and additional information in a bundled form. Then, a ``high-level command is issued each time a figure needs to be included. FigBib provides such a mechanism. If the user wants to include a figure with the label ``MyFigure:1 as a float object on the top of the page with a width of 5cm, then he writes fbEpsfig{MyFigure:1}{5cm}{t} The corresponding data for the figure, such as caption, name of the eps file etc., is stored in a BibTeX data base. There, the entry could be for example @fig{MyFigure:1, main = {This is the description/caption}, file = {myfigure1} - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/figbib 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
