A graph can be ``typeset'' by +writing a .gt source file which resembles a matrix environment. + +-------------- +Documentation: +-------------- + +Both the entire source for making the manual, as well as copy of the +postscript manual, manual1.0beta.ps, come with the distribution. To read +more about GraphTeX, simply print the postscript manual. (The "make doc" +target of the Makefile is intended to show the user the full +dependencies inherent in GraphTeX. + +------------- +Installation: +------------- + +In order for GraphTeX to work, you need to have the following packages +installed: TeX, Perl, TeXdraw, and dvips (any .dvi to .ps program which +respects \special for postscript insertion). + + If you can write to the system-wide "bin" and "lib" directories and +wish to install Graph-TeX right away, attend to definitions PERLLIB, +PERLEXEC and BINDER in Makefile, and type + + make install + + If you only wish to test Graph-TeX, attend to the PERLEXEC definition +in Makefile and type + make test-install + +This assumes that your system supports the "magic number" mechanism +for script programs, i.e. first lines of the form #!{path} (if not, +you'll have to hack your own). A good way to test things is to rebuild +the manual by typing + + make + + Note that because Graph-TeX relies on TeXdraw, the documents you create +must include the TeXdraw macros, for example. + + \input texdraw for TeX + \documentstyle[texdraw]{book} for LaTeX + +----------- +Known Bugs: +----------- + +1. Space delimits commands within a cell, so math mode expressions aren't + aloud to have any space inside them. (Try {} or something.) |
