CTAN update: tkz-elements
by CTAN Announcements 13 Oct '26

13 Oct '26

Alain Matthes submitted an update to the tkz-elements package. Version: 6.00c 2026-10-11 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: A Lua library for drawing Euclidean geometry with TikZ or tkz-euclide Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a major release. Most of the work concerns reliability: every class has been reviewed, many bugs have been fixed, and errors now stop the computation with a clear message giving the line of the user's code, instead of producing nil or NaN values further on. New features - Ellipses from an equation (EL_from_equation) and from two conjugate semi-diameters (EL_conjugate, Rytz construction). - Transformations (rotation, homothety, symmetry, translation, reflection, affinity, inversion, htm_apply) accept any supported object and return an object of the same class. - circle:common_tangent(C, "both") returns all the common tangents. - New methods: occs:point(u, v), triangle:angle(i), get(i) for squares, rectangles, quadrilaterals and parallelograms. Main fixes - Exact point of contact for tangent circles (this also corrects the Feuerbach point and related constructions). - Matrix inverse (it returned the identity), common tangents of circles with equal radii, intersections with parabolas and hyperbolas, several triangle and conic methods. - tkz-elements.sty: transfer macros are defined whatever the loading order of tkz-euclide. Possible incompatibilities - Some undocumented methods have been removed (e.g. point:set_rotation, line:set_translation, circle:external_tangent); use the documented methods, which now accept several objects. - get_points(obj) is deprecated; use obj:get(). The complete list of changes is in CHANGELOG.md. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/tkz-elements The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tkz/tkz-elements/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Inkyu Park submitted the hangulmath package. Version: 0.5 2026-10-10 License: ofl lppl1.3c Summary description: Hangul jamo as mathematical symbols Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hangulmath makes the 40 letters (jamo) of modern Korean Hangul available as mathematical symbols: 14 basic consonants, 5 double consonants, 10 basic vowels and 11 compound vowels. Each symbol has an official command name following the Revised Romanization of Korean (\giyeok, \nieun, ...) and consonants have short four-letter aliases (\giug, \niun, ...). \hangulsum, \hangulint and \hangullim turn any symbol into a sum-, integral- or limit-like operator. The package requires XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX. The symbol glyphs come from a bundled subset of Noto Sans CJK KR (SIL OFL), so no Korean font needs to be installed. This is the first public release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/hangulmath The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/hangulmath/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Tom Bronte submitted the graphicnovel package. Version: 0.5 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: A semantic LaTeX class for graphic-novel and comic scripts Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A semantic LaTeX class for graphic-novel and comic scripts. GraphicNovel is a Domain Specific Language (DSL) that uses the working language of comics: stories, eras, pages, panels, locations, shots, action, dialogue, captions, and sound effects and an authoritative reference bible, to help writers and artists collaborate on long-form projects. It doesn't just format the author's script. It cross-references with the bible so that every panel, page, object, character and location are defined. Collaboration between artists and writers (not to mention the creative in the film and TV industry) need the consistency. What it provides: * A reference bible for characters, places, objects, and continuity notes. * Era-specific appearances, named expressions, and behavioural tells. * Stories, vignettes, comic pages, panels, and double-page spreads. * Page layouts expressed as panel counts by row, such as \pageLayout{2,1,2}. * Automated page and panel counters so you (well, I) don't have to worry. * Separate directions for background (\location), composition (\shot), and foreground activity (\action). * Dialogue, balloon-position notes, captions, sound effects, and production notes. * A compact option for proofreading without forced page breaks. GraphicNovel produces a script and reference material for collaborators. It does not draw panels or generate finished comic artwork, but at least everyone will be singing from the same hymn sheet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/graphicnovel More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/graphicnovel -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
