COPYRIGHT 2005 by Jose-Emilio Vila-Forcen (jemilio(a)ieee.org) This program can be redistributed and/or modified under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public License Distributed from CTAN 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.

CTAN upload: graphicx-psmin
by CTAN Announcements 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

On Wed, 21 Sep 2005, Hendri Adriaens submitted a new package graphicx-psmin to CTAN. This package is an extension of the standard graphics bundle and provides a way to include repeated postscript graphics (ps, eps) only once in a postscript document. This provides a way to get smaller postscript documents when having, for instance, a logo on every page. This package only works when post-processed with dvips, which should at least have version 5.95b! The difference for the pdf file is minimal (as ghostscript already includes only a single copy of graphics files).

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and is now making its way to your favorite mirror. Thank you for the contribution, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: otftofd Author's name: Geoffrey Washburn Location on CTAN: /fonts/utilities/otftofd Summary description: otftofd is a script to help with the task of generating a NFSS font description file and a map file from a large collection of OpenType fonts. License type: gpl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- otftofd is a script I wrote to help the task of generating a NFSS font description file and a map file from a large collection of OpenType fonts. In particular, when considering Adobe Pro Optical fonts, there is almost a combinatorial nightmare when attempting to create these files by hand. This software is still probably alpha quality and mostly designed specifically for Adobe font conventions. It currently has experimental support for generating swashed versions of a font and fonts consisting of ornaments. There is some preliminary support for selecting encodings, but it is far from complete. The tool has been mostly tested with the T1 Cork encoding. For more information about using the tool, invoke it with the --help option. otftofd is written in CaSH (Caml Shell) and additionally requires Eddie Kohler's excellent LCDF Typetools. ofttofd was originally called adobe-font-tool, but at the suggestion of CTAN it was renamed to hopefully be more descriptive. otftofd is licensed under the FSF General Public License. Do not hesitate to send me bug reports or fixes, other improvements, or suggestions. Contact me via e-mail at washburn(a)acm.org. There is a public, read-only, Subversion repository for otftofd at https://svn.cis.upenn.edu/svnroot/otftofd/. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/utilities/otftofd .

Another nice feature of CurVe is its ability to manage different CV flavors simultaneously. It is in fact often the case that you want to maintain slightly divergent versions of your CV at the same time, in order to emphasize on different aspects of your background. CurVe also comes with support for AUC-TeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive//macros/latex/contrib .

CTAN update: new LM fonts
by CTAN Announcements 01 Sep '05

On Thu, 1 Sep 2005, Staszek Wawrykiewicz submitted an update to the Latin Modern fonts (lm) package. Package: Latin Modern fonts Authors: JNSteam License: GPL Location on CTAN: fonts/lm Note that the directory contains an extra file lm0.99.1mt1.zip, containing fonts sources for MetaType1. The Latin Modern family of fonts is based on the Computer Modern fonts in the PostScript Type 1 format, released into public domain by the American Mathematical Society. The fonts, as compared to the CM family, contain a lot of additional characters, mainly accented ones, but not only. The current distribution contains: Latin Modern fonts in the PostScript Type 1 and OpenType formats, source files for MetaType1 plus all requisites for using the fonts with TeX/pdfTeX; there is one set of PostScript fonts and five sets of TeX Font Metric files, corresponding to: -- EC (Cork) encoding (ec-*.tfm), -- QX encoding (qx-*.tfm), -- TeX'n'ANSI aka LY1 encoding (texnansi-*.tfm), -- T5 (Vietnamese) encoding (t5-*.tfm), -- Text Companion for EC fonts aka TS1 (ts1-*.tfm). LaTeX *.sty and *.fd files were also added plus a few test files. Most important recent changes: 1. There is 12 fonts more, mainly tt light (tl), light condensed (tlc) and dark (tk) lmtk10, lmtko10 lmtl10, lmtlo10 lmtlc10, lmtlco10 lmvtk10, lmvtko10 lmvtl10, lmvtlo10 plus two fonts apparently missing their oblique counterpart: lmro17 lmtcso10 2. Experimentally, we included proportional digits, but their metrics almost surely will be chaned. 3. Apart from Knuthian asymmetric double quotes we introduced double quotes without extra space at the sidebearings. The old quotes will be used only in substitutions. Here also metrics may need an adjustment, namely, kerning pairs. 4. A few new glyph were added, a few glyphs were corrected. 5. Internal PostScript names of the fonts were uniformized (it has something to do with the grouping of OTF files into families). -- Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

Temporary files will be deleted if nothing went wrong and you told it to. Not all the functionality got tested (don't use BibTeX or glossaries currently) but it ought to work if I haven't overlooked any bugs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition, the source code is available as /support/runtex/runtex_src.zip Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the ANSI/POSIX C source code for runtex. As I use MinGW I don't know if the makefile does anything useful if run with MSVC, but I have my doubts.
