CTAN Update: mathspic 1.10

Date: February 19, 2007 1:38:38 PM CET
On Mon, 19 Feb 2007 Apostolos Syropoulos submitted an update to the mathspic package. MathsPIC(Perl) is a development of the earlier MathsPIC(DOS) program, now implemented as a Perl script, being much more portable than the earlier program. MathsPIC parses a plain text input file and generates a plain text output-file containing commands for drawing a diagram. Version 1.0 produces output containing PiCTeX and (La)TeX commands, which may then be processed by plain TeX or LaTeX in the usual way. MathsPIC also outputs a comprehensive log-file. MathsPIC facilitates creating figures using PiCTeX by providing an environment for manipulating named points and also allows the use of variables and maths (advance, multiply, and divide)-in short-it takes the pain out of PiCTeX. Both the original DOS version and the new Perl version are available.
