This +% style is available from many archives. +% You of course need METAFONT and GFTOPK to generate the pictures. +% (Ask your local wizard for help) +% DRAWING.MF will be generated when you run this file through +% LaTeX the first time. + +\section*{Introduction} +This contribution explains how to use \mf\ for simple drawings. To +make the text shorter, some commands are not described. The reader +is kindly asked to look into this source to see how it was done. + +Nobody can guarantee that \mf\ is exactly what you need. the +simple rules say: +\begin{itemize} +\item Use \TeX\ where \TeX\ is good. +\item Use \mf\ where \mf\ is good. +\item Use other tools where other tools are good. +\end{itemize} +Here you can see examples where \mf\ is good. + +\section*{Why not other packages?} +Though it might look strange I prefer explaining it here. The +selection of tools is more (or less) a matter of personal taste. +But there should be some reasoning behind it. If you want to make +simple drawings, you may choose either MFpic or a similar package +or directly \mf. In either case you must learn some new commands. +However, MFpic supports only a subset of \mf. Later, if you need +more complex pictures, you have to learn a new tool. With \mf\ +it's a bit easier. You just learn some more commands. + +It's not a good practice to reject everything what has been done. +you can find files with \mf\ macros which can be used in a similar +way as \LaTeX\ styles. This can make life much easier. + +\section*{Principle of \lmf\ pictures} +The principle is to make a new font where a picture is some +``character''. When we want to place the picture into the +document, we change the font and type appropriate character. If +the picture is too large or too complex, it is better to divide it +into several characters and overlay them with \verb|\llap| or +\verb|\rlap| commands or simply place the characters in the +correct order (we will see it later). + +[...] + + { Zdenek's complete contribution is stored + as /work/archive/documentation/wagner-drawing.tex + in the UK TeX Archive on ftp.tex.ac.uk (134.151.44.19) + which is also mirrored to pip.shsu.edu (192.92.115.10) + and ftp.uni-stuttgart.de (129.69.1.12) + --Ed. } + +------------------------------ + +Date: Thu, 22 Apr 1993 10:45:15 +0200 +From: schoepf@sc.ZIB-Berlin.DE (Rainer Schoepf) +Subject: Re: Some problems with \verb + +Leszek Holenderski writes in TeXhax93/007: + > Dear TeXperts, + > + > Can anybody explain me why the following input: + > + > \documentstyle{article} + > \catcode`\"=\active \def"{\verb"} + > \begin{document} + > Just a test of "verb". + > \end{document} + > + > gives the following error: + > + > This is TeX, C Version 3.14t3 + > (test.tex format file: LaTeX with English hyphenation + > (/vol/tex/lib/inputs/article.sty + > Document Style `article' <5 Feb 88> - GMD. + > (/vol/tex/lib/inputs/art10.sty)) (test.aux)) + > Runaway argument? + > verb". \end{document} + > !

R. G. + e-mail: schlangm@informatik.uni-muenchen.de (NeXTMail ok) + + + A N N O U N C I N G + + TeXmenu Version 4.0 + +TeXmenu SUMMARY: + +TeXmenu provides a unified NeXTSTEP front end for Donald Knuth's famous +typesetting system TeX. TeXmenu integrates all the tools needed to use TeX +in one application, i.e. you are no longer forced to handle various tools like +the editor, the previewer, utilities such as spell checkers, and TeX itself +from different applications. TeXmenu offers a powerful project management, +including structure recognition, file handling and project search, thus +providing a convenient way of handling larger multi-file documents. TeXmenu is +designed as an ``open'' application, i.e. it does not depend on any version +specific features of TeX, viewers, editors (and friends) and is widely +customizable. TeXmenu offers services so the user can keep in touch with it +from any other application, get help on LaTeX, translate his/her current +project, any file or even screen selections. When running TeX in the +background TeXmenu alerts the user when an error occurs and offers a +convenient way to jump between the error message and location of the error, as +well as letting the user continue the translation afterwards! + +Distribution is done shareware-like (i.e. you are allowed to copy a +unregistered version provided you're running it in demo-mode) but TeXmenu will +have some annoying ``features'' until you register your copy of it. Similarly, +TeXmenu comes ``shareware priced''. For those who want a good TeX front end +without paying anything for it, TeXmenu version 2.2 remains in the public +domain (although ``donations'' are still accepted). + + +LIST OF SOME NEW FEATURES IN TeXmenu 4.0: + + o Project groups, comparable to NeXTmail's mailboxes: TeXmenu does not + only maintain a global list, it allows you to define groups using + the new filetype ``texpg''. You may group your projects in categories + like Letters, Manuals, Thesis, Papers etc. + + o TeX Page Layout Panel: Interactively generates TeX/LaTeX macro + sequences for your preferred page layout, + + o additional service 'Include PS selection' (thanks Derek!), + + o the Watcher is now working similarly to NeXT's ProjectBuilder: + Click on *any* (LaTeX) warning or error message and the Watcher will + position you at the faulty position in the source-code, + + o same for TeXmenu's Project Find Panel, + + o new Inspectors and grouped Preferences, + + o automatic reparsing of project's structure, user definable interval, + + o drag&drop everywhere, + + o a lot faster VT100(tm) terminal emulation, + + o expanded generalized command execution scheme, you may even use + command line editors like vi for file viewing/editing, or xdvi + for previewing, + + o and *lots* of other fancy improvements. + + +TeXmenu PRICING: + + TeXmenu 4.0 is a free update for all registered TeXmenu 3.0 users! + + For further information, site license pricing, group discounts, and + information relating to payment see Licence.rtf in the demo + distribution or send mail to the address above. + + +FUTURE DEVELOPMENT (BLACK&WHITE): + + NeXTSTEP for Intel Processors will be supported as soon as the + developer environment is available.
