+SUMMARY: automatic bounding boxes with PiCTeX
+
+PiCTeX is a "generic" set of TeX macros for drawing diagrams and
+pictures, dating from 1987, written and described by Michael J. Wichura.
+The last extensions contributed by other authors may have occurred
+1999. It may be difficult to find somebody who uses it today ...
+yet two users asked me for help this year ...
+
+A new generic package `autoarea.sty' makes PiCTeX recognize lines
+and arcs in determining the "bounding box" of a picture
+(PiCTeX so far accounted for put commands only).
+The "bounding box" is essential for proper placement of a picture
+between running text and margins and for keeping the running text away.
+Examples provided demonstrate what `autoarea.sty' does.
+
+Yes, it should suffice to load the package to have this effect.
+Read additional instructions and informations in the file
+`autoarea.sty'.
+
+`autoarea.sty' has been tested successfully on 42 geometric figures
+from a work by medieval scholar N. Oresme, as reproduced by Dr.
+Richard Lorch using PiCTeX.

+% FEATURES/USAGE
+%
+% This is an experimental package for use with pictex[wd].sty/.tex.
+% It works with LaTeX2e as well as with Plain TeX or LaTeX2.09.
+% It is "experimental" in that it has come from a mixture of knowing
+% PiCTeX internals and guesses that surprisingly seem to work.
+%
+% PiCTeX's \plot, \circulararc and \ellipticalarc normally don't contribute to
+% proper placement of the picture between text and margins, which may result
+% in pictures overlapping with text or in uneven distances to text margins.
+% You should find a file autodemo-.pdf nearby that illustrates how this may
+% look.
+%
+% In such cases, the document author must use PiCTeX's \setplotarea to correct
+% this manually, determining the "bounding box" (cf. documentation as indicated
+% after \endinput below). PiCTeX's \put, on the opposite, normally DOES
+% contribute to PiCTeX's automatical calculation of the boundaries.
+%
+% autoarea.sty tries to determine the bounding box even for lines and arcs
+% automatically instead, so you can omit \setplotarea (at least for this
+% purpose). You just have to load it (we hope) after pictex[wd].sty/.tex, by,
+% e.g.,
+%
+% \usepackage{pictexwd,autoarea}
+% or
+% \input pictexwd
+% \input autoarea.sty
+%
+% The package defines just three user commands \plottedat, \autoaccountingoff,
+% and \autoaccountingon - which you perhaps won't need, just loading the
+% package may suffice. The samples autodemo-.pdf and autodemo+.pdf nearby both
+% were generated by omitting \setplotarea, the difference being that
+% autodemo+.pdf profits from \usepackage{autoarea}, which may convince you
+% that it's worth trying autoarea.
+%
+% \plottedat XMIN YMIN \plottedat XMAX YMAX may (otherwise) replace
+% \setplotarea x from XMIN to XMAX, y from YMIN to YMAX
+% A single "\plottedat ..." may suffice if other \put commands
+% contribute to proper placement of the picture sufficiently already.
+
+ \expandafter %% ersatz-\newcommand if without LaTeX
+ \ifx \csname newcommand\endcsname \relax
+ \def\newcommand#1{\def#1} \fi
+
+\newcommand{\plottedat}{\put {} at }
+
+% (If the user doesn't want it, we still need it here!)
+%
+% Should a \plot or \circulararc command seem to produce more space than
+% you want, put it between \autoaccountingoff and \autoaccountingon,
+% then try \plottedat and \setplotarea if needed.
+%
+% Our trick will account for starting, ending, or corner points of curves.
+% This may not suffice in general (e.g., with \setquadratic),
+% then you still may need \plottedat or \setplotarea. Below \endinput you
+% find more on CAVEATS etc.

+
+CAVEATS
+
+1. I won't try to find out whether autoarea.sty makes \setplotarea entirely
+superfluous: will drawing a coordinate system work without \setplotarea?
+
+2. Certainly it was not due to dullness that PiCTeX didn't provide autoarea's
+feature originally. Around 1990, it was important to care for speed with PiCTeX
+(and it may still be, I won't try complex examples).
+Apart from up to four, line and arc commands are irrelevant for placing the
+picture correctly. About the same holds for put commands, and that's why PiCTeX
+has \accountingoff and \accountingon to ignore many of them. Our \autoaccountingoff
+and \autoaccountingon serve the analoguous purpose for line and arc commands.
+
+3. I don't know exactly how arc commands work, therefore I wouldn't be astonished
+if the result still is not properly centered. Our trick is take account of some
+points all of which an approximating curve must meet. Can that curve bend out of
+the bounding rectangle of those points?

+v0.1 2008/02/14 Working, addressed compatibility with ArabTeX.
+v0.2 2008/02/14a Moved compatibility to lorchpic.sty.
+ This one submitted to CTAN, soon kind of withdrawn.
+v0.3 2008/04/19 Made generic, expanded prose.
+ 2008/04/25 `Lueck', not `Lück', for UNIX etc.
+ 2008/05/07 ersatz-\newcommand earlier, typo;
+ removed remarks on PiCTeX documentation.
+ 2008/05/08 Added version numbers, corrected ersatz-\newcommand;
+ uploaded in pictex_may_2008.zip - in vain.
+v0.3a 2008/08/12 typo fix "too text" -> "to text".

+FORMER VERSION 2008/02/13 (ul, 2008/02/14):
+
+I couldn't find a working redefinition of \circulararc
+("Use of \ellipticalarc doesn't match its definition");
+on the other hand its internals seem to the job all ready;
+and my redefinition seemed to raise further difficulties.
+Here's what I had tried before:
+
+% \circulararc may do the trick for full circles (360 degree) only.
+% CAVEAT: assumes that x and y units are the same.
+% Otherwise or when something else goes wrong, put \circulararc between
+% \autoaccountingarcoff and \autoaccountingarcon.
+%
+% These features come from the start if you load the present package.

+% <-:
+% 1. May be \!qjoin of \ellipticalarc does the trick already.
+% 2. FUTURE: \accountingcircle[tbrl] if circle isn't full.
+% 3. CAVEAT: May not work in dimension mode.
+% 4. May be improvable with better knowledge of internals than mine.

+% \setnone FROM ARABTEX SUFFICES INSTEAD OF:
+%
+% COMPATIBILITY WITH ARABTEX ETC.
+%
+% ArabTeX and possibly other packages may disable PiCTeX commands
+% using "<...,...>" syntax, notably \setcoordinatesystem units <1mm,1mm> etc.
+%% TODO: TeX error:
+% Precede such a command (if it breaks) with \restoreanglesyntax,
