tug.ctan.org upload: TpX

A major package update has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon make its way to all other CTAN sites. Thank you for the update, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: TpX Author's name: Alexander Tsyplakov Location on CTAN: /graphics/tpx/ Summary description: TpX: A LaTeX-friendly drawing tool for Windows License type: gpl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TpX 1.2 is on CTAN TpX is a lightweight, easy-to-use graphical editor for Windows platform for creation of drawings and inclusion them into LaTeX files in publication-ready form. It can also be used as a stand-alone editor for vector graphics. The output is a file (with extension .TpX) containing the drawing as LaTeX code or as an \includegraphics link to an external file created by the program. User can choose between several output formats. TpX saves its own data in TeX file comments so that the drawing could be loaded into TpX and edited again. This internal TpX format is based on XML and could be understood and edited easily. TpX can import EMF/WMF pictures created by other Windows applications, including many applications producing scientific graphs. In most cases the result is nice, though sometimes imported picture needs some manual editing. So TpX can be used as a EMF-to-any converter.
