ePiX -- README

Last Change: September 12, 2007

Please consult the following files as appropriate:

INSTALL -- Detailed installation instructions
NEWS -- Recent major changes (see ChangeLog for code changes)
README (this file) -- General overview and information


DESCRIPTION

ePiX (pronounced like "epic" with a soft "k", playing on "TeX"), a
collection of command line utilities for *nix, creates mathematically
accurate figures, plots, and movies using easy-to-learn syntax. The
output is expressly designed for use with LaTeX.

The user interface resembles that of LaTeX itself: You prepare a short
scene description in a text editor, then compile the input file into a
picture. LaTeX- and web-compatible output types include a LaTeX
picture-like environment written with PSTricks, tikz, or eepic macros;
vector images (eps, ps, and pdf); and bitmap images (png, mng, gif).


INSTALLATION

Please see the "INSTALL" file.


OVERVIEW

ePiX's command-line conversion utilities are

* epix: ePiX to eepic

* elaps: ePiX and eepic to eps or pdf

* laps: (La)TeX to PostScript

* flix: ePiX to png or mng

Each script prints a detailed help message when invoked with the
option "-h" (help)


DOCUMENTATION

ePiX documentation is installed in $(prefix)/share/doc/epix, by
default /usr/local/share/doc/epix.

The manual, a complete description of ePiX's features and use, is
installed as PostScript (for printing), hyperlinked PDF (for online
reading), GNU info (for reference within emacs), and as LaTeX sources.


DEVELOPER FILES

The header files are installed in $(pkgincludedir), by default
$(prefix)/include/epix.

PYEPIX

Though ePiX can be compiled and run using CygWin, Windows users may be
more interested in Andrew Sterian's Pyepix package, an implementation
of ePiX-1.0.4 in Python. Pyepix is available from

  http://claymore.engineer.gvsu.edu/~steriana/Python/index.html

and requires Python 2.2 or newer.

There are two mailing lists, for users and for development issues.
