Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
Jpgfdraw is a graphics application written in Java.
You can use Jpgfdraw to:
Construct shapes using lines, moves and cubic Bezier segments.
Edit shapes by changing the defining control points.
Incorporate text and bitmap images (for annotation and
background effects).
- Extract the parameters for TeX's parshape command
and for shapepar (defined in the shapepar package).
Construct frames for use with the flowfram package.
Pictures can be saved in Jpgfdraw's native binary format (JDR)
or native ascii format (AJR) or can be exported as:
a pgfpicture environment for use in LaTeX documents with the pgf package
a LaTeX2e package based on the flowfram package
an encapsulated postscript file
a PNG image file
SVG image file
- Alternative text can be specified to use when exporting to a
LaTeX file (e.g. if the text contains symbols or if it should be set in maths mode).
- Mappings can be used to specify what LaTeX font declarations
should be used when exporting to a LaTeX file.
