See +http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/licenses.lppl.html +for the details of that license. + +History +------- +o Submitted to CTAN: 2006-03-08 + - First submission. +o Updated 2006-07-18 + - Added documentation sources and created separate sub-directories + for the implementation and documentation. +o Updated 2007-01-21 (Backward incompatible changes for bond graphs.) + - Bond graphs can be drawn with arrowheads that are not filled. + - Bond graph labels that depend on the LaTeX preamble have been + removed from the bond graph package file, and must now be defined + in every bond graph application source. + - See further comments in bondgraph.mp, and how the changes affect + the example bonddemo.mp. + - Thanks to Johan Engelen for suggesting added features and bringing + my attention to the problem of preamble-dependent content in package + files. + +Description +----------- +This package targets the simple problem of producing block diagrams +and bond graphs. In more detail, the provided functionality can be +divided into +o Standard elements such as labeled blocks and bond graph arrows. +o Standardized way for selecting input and output points on blocks. +o Means for the construction of "carpented" paths connecting points. +o Standardized label positioning along block connections. +o Higher-level macros that specialize and/or combine some of the above. + +An important example from the group of higher-level macros is the +macro that takes two blocks as arguments and generates a path connecting +them. + +Experienced MetaPost users will certainly prefer to write their own +macros for this purpose, but less experienced users may find these +simple macros accessible and handy in combination with the series +of examples provided on the WWW (see below). + +Further information +------------------- +The main source of information for this package is located at + http://www.control.isy.liu.se/~tidefelt/projects/blockdraw/ + + +Please let me know if you run into problems or have suggestions, + +Henrik Tidefelt |
