Aspects that are completed or near completion:

  • Braids; needs testing
  • Calligraphy; needs testing
  • Matrix cells; needs testing
  • Angled ends to paths; needs converting to dtx, testing, and documentation
  • Labelling equations; needs converting to dtx, testing, and documentation
  • TQFT diagrams; needs testing
  • Soft path library (not intended for use by users); needs testing and documentation

Things that have been started but are a little further away

  • 3D perspective coordinates
  • Paths in hyperbolic space
  • Knot diagrams (no files in the launchpad repository for this)

Testing

The following are steps to test the code. There are variants of these (for example, for those who know about bzr repositories), but these are as simple as I can make them.

  1. The code is located at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~tex-sx/tex-sx/development/files
  2. Select something you want to test. If it has a .dtx file, you have to have that. If there is a relevant _test.tex file, that might be useful (the _test.tex files are my (Andrew Stacey) test files.). If it only as a .tex file, that's both the "style" and the test file (but the ones with .dtxs are the more important for testing).
  3. Run pdflatex on the .dtx. That will produce the .sty file and the documentation .pdf file.
  4. Try to set up a test document. I'm not going to give more instructions here as ideally it should be possible to do this from the supplied documentation.
  5. If there is no documentation, look at the _test.tex file if it exists. If the code hasn't yet been converted to a .dtx then the .tex file is all there is; it will have the code and samples, but no documentation.
