1. Introduction

+ +

+TeX is a powerful typesetting program which allows for complex text +layouts but by itself lacks a general graphics capability. However, +when coupled with an appropriate printer driver program, external +graphics files can be inserted into the printed document. In this mode, +TeX is instructed to leave space for a drawing. The drawing is +inserted by the printer driver program. The TeXdraw macros described +here generate the external graphics file from within TeX and generate +the instructions to the the print driver program to position the +graphics at the appropriate position on the page. + + +

+TeXdraw consists of a set of TeX macros that create line drawings +and other figures. The drawing primitives include solid lines, +patterned lines, Bezier curves, circles and arrows. Other commands +allow for the filling of a region with a gray level. The drawing +commands generate PostScript code. This limits TeXdraw to systems +which use PostScript printers. TeXdraw also provides commands to +position TeX text, including mathematics, on the drawing. The final +drawing, with text and graphics, can be positioned on the page like any +other TeX box. + + +

+ + + +The basic TeXdraw macros for TeX use the \special syntax +recognized by the printer driver program dvips. However, when +invoked as a LaTeX2e package, the TeXdraw macros can be used with +any of the PostScript printer driver programs supported by the standard +graphics package for LaTeX2e. + + +

+The basic TeXdraw macros provide only simple drawing commands. +However, TeXdraw provides a drawing segment environment which allows +parameter changes and coordinate scaling changes to be kept local to the +drawing segment. This facility, together with TeX's macro +capabilities allows one to modularize drawing units and extend +TeXdraw by building more complex graphics entities from simpler +elements. + + + +
