name pict2e category Package shortdesc New implementation of picture commands. longdesc This package was described in the 2nd edition of "LaTeX: A longdesc Document Preparation System", but the LaTeX project team declined longdesc to produce the package. For a long time, LaTeX has included a longdesc "pict2e package" that merely produced an apologetic error message. longdesc The new package extends the existing LaTeX picture environment, longdesc using the familiar technique (cf. the graphics and color packages) longdesc of driver files. The package documentation (pict2e.dtx) has a longdesc fair number of examples of use, showing where things are improved longdesc by comparison with the LaTeX picture environment.
