- The LaTeX Colour and Graphics Packages
- ========================================
- 1994/11/29
-
- This is a pre-release of LaTeX packages for:
- * producing colour
- * including graphics (eg PostScript) files
- * rotation and scaling of text
- in LaTeX documents.
-
-
- This is still a test release.
-
- Main Changes in the November/December 1994 version
- ========================================================================
-
- color.sty
- ============
-
- Some code now obsolete code removed as the new LaTeX kernel is more
- colour-aware.
-
- graphics.sty
- ============
- **** Important Note: Change in user-syntax!
- *******************************************
- The optional argument to \DeclareGraphicsExtensions
- has been removed.
- The new behaviour is equivalent to specifying an argument of []
- in the previous version. ie there is *no longer* a default `.'
- added.
-
- As a consequence of this, all extensions must now be specified
- including the `.' ie .eps not just eps.
-
- This change does not lose any functionality, and makes it much
- easier to work with files with no extension.

- containing (for example)
- \ExecuteOptions{dvips}
- Before running this file.
-
- grfguide.ps PostScript version of the above (Using PostScript fonts)

-
- USING THE PACKAGES
- ==================
-
- Move files ending in .sty .def to a standard TeX input directory.
-
- Make a default option for your site by creating two files
- color.cfg and graphics.cfg
- containing (if dvips is your default driver)
- \ExecuteOptions{dvips}
-
- You may then LaTeX the user guide:
- latex grfguide.tex.

- ==============================================
-
-
- Comments from the previous release.
- **********************************
-
- Main Changes in the July/September/October 1994 version
- ========================================================================
-
- color.sty
- ============
-
- 1) I separated out the code that converts from `user syntax' to the
- internal version for \special from the code that actually inserts the
- special.
- This means that:
- * It should be easier to work with PSTricks, where the `internal' code
- has to be done *inside* a larger special, so you can not do any
- fancy TeX stuff at that point. A pstcol.sty using pstrics with
- color.sty based colours is included in this test release.
-
- * The .def file can be a lot simpler as it no longer has to define a
- a `set' command and a `define' command for each colour model.
- It just defines a single `user spec' to `special syntax' command
- for each model, \color and \definecolor both use this same
- internal interface.
-
- 2) \color \textcolor are now robust.
- [although \textcolor turns into \color if used as a robust command.
- That is if you say \textcolor{red}{foo} in a section header,
- the toc file will have {\color{red}foo}
- ]
-
- 3) \textcolor is no longer \long (so it matches \textrm) if you want
- lots of paragraphs use \color or \begin{color}
-
- 4) Added \DefineNamedColor command to give an interface for the 'named'
- colour model.
-
-
- graphics.sty
- ===============
-
- 1) Added a default rule, eg dvips.def now has the equivalent of
- \DeclareGraphicsRule{*}{eps}{*}{}
- Which means that you can include file with arbitrary extensions:
- \includegraphics{a.xyz}
- will input this as an eps file unless another rule has been decared
- for the extension xyz.
-
- 2) More care taken with catcodes so hopefully this version will work
- with language packages that make ! or " active.
-
- 3) Add new error
- {Cannot determine size of graphic in ... (no size specifed)}%
- Generated in the case that the file type has no `read file'
- specified, but the user has not given a size argument.
-
- 4) New driver loading code.
