Status: R X-Status: X-Keywords: X-UID: 1613 *Test* Releases of the LaTeX2e packages for Graphics (ie Graphics-file inclusion, plus rotation and scaling of text) and colour have just been made available on ctan (both in the same directory). macros/latex2e/packages/graphics The README is repeated below. Note that this is more of a pre-release. Some internals are quite likely to change (However there has not been a major change for over half an hour:-). However the user-interface is more or less fixed as Leslie Lamport is currently documenting it, as he finalises the second edition of the LaTeX manual. David The LaTeX2e Colour and Graphics Packages ======================================== This is a pre-release of LaTeX2e packages for: * producing colour * including graphics (eg PostScript) files * rotation and scaling of text in LaTeX2e documents. This is an early test release. ==== * The documentation is far from being complete. * The interfaces are *not* finalised, and so the format of internal commands, and names of options, may change in future releases. * In particular, the format of the `driver dependant files' which implement the low level commands required to access the syntax of each individual driver (dvips, emtex, oztex, etc) is *very* likely to change. If you have a driver which is not currently supported, it may be best to send us a description of the \special syntax so we can produce the required file, rather than trying to produce one yourself. 1994/04/15 David Carlisle carlisle@cs.man.ac.uk Sebastian Rahtz spqr@ftp.tex.ac.uk THIS DIRECTORY CONTAINS ====================== ====================== README This File ChangeLog Log of changes to the packages. graphics.ins Install file for docstrip. Standard packages ================= color.dtx Source for color package graphics.dtx Source for graphics package trig.dtx Source for trig package (required by graphics) Non Standard Packages ===================== egraphics.dtx Source for egraphics package (extension of graphics) epsfig.dtx Source for epsfig package (extension of egraphics) keyval.dtx Source for keyval pacakge (required by both the above) Driver Files ============ refcol.dtx Source for reference colour driver files drivers.dtx Source for driver files for supported drivers. TeX files ========= thoughts.tex Some uncoordinated thoughts about colours in TeX. testcol.tex A small colour test file, it will stop and ask you which option you want. test.tex Test file for graphics package etest.tex Test file for egraphics package Class file ========== ltxdoc.cls Latest version of the ltxdoc class. ============================================= TO UNPACK THE PACKAGES ====================== latex2e graphics.ins This will produce the .sty package files .col reference color files .def driver files. ============================================= USING THE PACKAGES ================== Move files ending in .sty .def .col to a standard TeX input directory. You may then LaTeX the example .tex files eg latex2e test.tex Also the documented sources (dtx files) may be processed with LaTeX, eg latex2e color.dtx ==============================================
