On Tue, 21 Aug 2007 at 11:40 +0200, Lars Kotthoff submitted an update to
the
dottex
package.
The dottex package allows you to encapsulate `dot' and 'neato' files in
your document (dot and neato are both part of graphviz; dot creates
directed graphs, neato undirected graphs). If you have shell-escape
enabled, the package will arrange for your files to be processed at LaTeX
time; otherwise, the conversion must be done manually as an intermediate
process before a second LaTeX run.

files. Dot is part of the graphviz package (http://www.graphviz.org/) and
allows you to create directed graphs. Neato is for undirected graphs.

i have installed the new version and updated the catalogue. as usual,
the update will make its way quickly to the other ctan sites, and more
leisurely to non-core mirrors; the catalogue html will be updated
overnight.
