A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should soon make its way to your favorite mirror.

Thanks again, Jim Hefferon

The following information was provided by the package's contributor.

Name of contribution: makeplot Author's name: Jose-Emilio Vila-Forcen Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/makeplot Summary description: Easy plots from Matlab to LaTeX License type: lppl

Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I'd like to announce the availability of my LaTeX2e makeplot Package.

INSTALLATION: - call 'latex makeplot.ins' and copy the makeplot.sty - file into a path searched by LaTeX.

DOCUMENTATION: - execute the following list of commands to create the PDF: latex makeplot.dtx makeindex -s gind.ist -o makeplot.ind makeplot.idx makeindex -s gglo.ist -o makeplot.gls makeplot.glo latex makeplot.dtx pdflatex makeplot.dtx

Writing papers, it is very normal that the result of some Matlab simulations will be displayed. Since existing approaches to create EPS files from matlab (laprint, print -eps,...) does not satisfy all my requirements of fonts, quality, portability and to be able to perform fast small changes, I decided to create this package which could be seen as an extension to the PsTricks family.

This package creates easily plots taking the data from files, and allows enough configuration to fit most of the cases. In the documentation it is described the requirements of the data files and how to generate EPS files from Matlab.

Files of the `makeplot' package: README This file makeplot.dtx Sourcecode, example file & documentation makeplot.ins Installation script generating the source and an example makeplot.pdf PDF Version of the documentation data1.mat data2.mat Data files for the example. They could be generated using the dtx but I don't know how to avoid 'endinput' at the end ----------------------------------------------------------------------
