TkTeXCAD

PURPOSE: Creation of LaTeX picture environments.

VERSION: Bugfix to first beta.  Vectors work properly now (some
impossible elevations were not excluded); Copy/Cut/Paste; graphical
EPS inclusion; short description now in english, too.

INSTALLATION: You'll need the Python interpreter >= 2.0 with the
extension Tkinter.  Python is available at www.python.org, as far as I
know, the extension is built into the Windows and Mac
installation.  For Unix like platforms, Tk is available at
www.scriptics.com.  Most Linux distributions already include Python/Tk,
the Windows installation is relatively straight forward.
  When having a working interpreter, copy the tree .py scripts to a
directory you like and start it with "python tktc" or with a double
click unter Windows.  (The interpreter is connected to .py files after
installation.)

CUSTOMIZATION: Change the commented rows in config.py and delete the
byte-compiled form config.pyc.  As you prefer english, you'll probably
want to change the language of the user interface. So set LANG = 1.

Some notes on USING the program can be found in the two .sgml
files. This format can be converted into various other formats, for
convinience, a simple text version is included.

COPYRIGHT: The program may be used, copied, changed ... under the
conditions of the GPL, given in the COPYING. (c) 2001 Hilmar Straube;
NO WARRENTY OF ANY KIND.
