tikz-palattice
package.
Version number/date: 2.1/2015-02-23
License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: Draw particle accelerator lattices with TikZ.
Announcement text:
The tikz-palattice package allows for drawing a map of a particle accelerator just by giving a list of elements - similar to lattice files for simulation software. The package includes 12 common element types like dipoles, quadrupoles, cavities or screens, as well as automatic labels with element names, a legend, a rule and an environment to fade out parts of the accelerator. The coordinate of any element can be saved and used for custom tikz drawings or annotations. Thereby, lattices can be connected to draw injection/extraction or even a complete accelerator facility.
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/tikz-palattice/ More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/tikz-palattice We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org . Please join a users group; see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html .
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese
