New on CTAN: The fitr Package

the daemon alerts me to yet more great new stuff: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: The fitr Package > Author's name: D. P. Story > Package version: 1.2 > Location on CTAN: tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/fitr/ > Summary description: Set a rectangular destination and jumps to it > License type: lppl > > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > This package is an implementation of the FitR view-type destination as > described in the PDF Reference. The package defines one new command > \jdRect. The command (optionally) sets a jump to and/or sets a > destination of a FitR (Rectangle). (Can you see where \jdRect comes > from?). > > The package requires eforms (part of the AeB) and collectbox (by > Martin Scharrer). Drivers supported are dvips and dvipsone (using > Adobe Distiller as the PDF creator); pdftex (which includes luatex); > and dvipdfm, dvipdfmx, and xetex. > > The package was developed in response to a user of the AeB Bundle who > was interested in developing documents for students with low vision; > the idea is to magnify regions of the document so the student can read > more comfortably. Optional special effects are included (JavaScript > functions) to help focus one the rectangle as it is magnified, and as > the previous view is restored. thanks for the upload; i've installed the new package, and made an entry for it in the catalogue repository. > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/fitr.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/fitr/ The catalogue entry will have appeared on the web by tomorrow morning (Cambridge time).
