This help to draw material relative to timing diagrams. Rows inside a `tikztimingtable' are automatically named. * Package now depents on 'amsmath' or 'environ' package.

Future versions might enforce the 'at' or react different if it is not used. * Added user defined meta-characters which can store user defined character groups. * Added special 'B' character to introduce negative width. Main application is for meta-characters and other groups. * Changed `M` character to use path decorations. * Some code improvements to speed up compilation and make the source code cleaner.

CTAN has a new package: draftmark
by CTAN announcements (Jim Hefferon, tug.ctan.org) 05 May '09

05 May '09

This package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ............................................................................. The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: draftmark Author's name: Ahmed Musa Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/draftmark Summary description: Put draftmarks on select pages intelligently License type: nocommercial Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package puts a user-specified draftmark on pages of documents. It is more general than the package 'draftwatermark' by Sergio Callegari. The advantages of this package over 'draftwatermark' include: the user can specify his own draftmark and color, the draftmark position, the page (all pages, odd pages, even pages, a particular page number, and a range of pages) on which the draftmark should appear, and all the options are passed directly to package instead of being defined by macros. There is also the provision to use the macro draftmarksetup, which can be used to specify draftmark properties for each page or range of pages. With the 'xcolor' package (loaded by this package), all colors (including 'white', shades like 'red!75!green!50', and those defined within the user document) can be passed to this package. The code of this package is very much shorter than that of the 'draftcopy' package by Jurgen Vollmer (2002) because it capitalizes on some dvi 'hook' packages that have become available in recent years (post 2002). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/draftmark .

CTAN Update: tikz-timing
by CTAN Announcements 03 May '09

03 May '09

On Sat, 2 May 2009 Martin Scharrer submitted an update to the tikz-timing package. Tikz-timing provides macros and an environment to generate timing diagrams (digital waveforms) without much effort. The TikZ package is used to produce the graphics. The diagrams may be inserted into text (paragraphs, hbox, etc.) and into tikzpictures. A tabular-like environment is provided to produce larger timing diagrams. Location on CTAN: /graphics/pgf/contrib/tikz-timing/ Summary description: Update to version 0.4 License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This update brings the following improvements and new features: Timing Characters: * Multiple identical characters are now combined: DDDd -> 3.5D This improves the graphical quality for zoomed screen display and reduces the output file size. State dependent characters like 'T' and 'C' (toggle, clock) are not combined. * Lowercase characters are no longer handled by own macros but by the macros for the uppercase characters which are called with the half width. This reduces the number of needed macros significant. * Added special character `N' to add nodes at the current position of the timing diagram. * The factors for group repeats (`4{HL}' -> `HL HL HL HL') are now rounded arithmetically, not truncated, to integers if necessary. * Fixed miss-position of text in initial 'D'. Examples: * Added more examples, including two complete timing diagram (redrawn from free images on Wikipeadia). * Code for examples is now attached (as full LaTeX document) to the PDF file. Table environment `tikztimingtable': * Added macros to draw grids and marker lines inside `tikztimingtable'. * Added tabular-like error handling for wrong number of columns (`&'), i.e.: Ignores missing columns and raises error when too many columns are given. * Added table macros ` owdist' and `coldist' and corresponding tikz styles `timing/rowdist' and `timing/coldist' to allow the user to adjust distances between rows and columns in table (styles), as well as drawing lines relative to this values (macros). Other: * Some fixes to the used ` ikzset' settings. * Added `timing/lslope` setting to only set the normal slope. * General code clean-up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/tikz-timing/ .
