- All the code in mkdrawf is mine (so far...)
-
- However, I have a few people to thank for their ideas:
-
- - My wife Emma; she's a maths teacher, and I originally wrote mkdrawf
- because it seemed like the easiest way to produce diagrams for some
- worksheets she was working on.
-
- - Anthony Frost, of Online Media, for requesting many features which
- are (in my opinion) good ideas. Also for spotting a number of bugs
- before I did.
-
- - Alexander Thoukydides, for pressuring me to make mkdrawf calculate
- bounding boxes *properly* rather than just taking the convex hull
- of the individual points.
-
- - Alun Jones, for spotting, and sending me a fix for, a serious bug
- in the bounding-box computation code.
-
- - Oliver Schoen, for helpful suggestions and bug reports.
-
- I should also thank Donald E. Knuth, though I've never met him or
- corresponded with him, for the source code for TeX and METAFONT,
- which he published; they have taught me a lot about how to make
- macro-expansion languages slightly less awful than they otherwise
- might be. His work has also done much to shape my idea of what
- program documentation should be like, but he should not be blamed
- for my misjudgements.
