A Mathematica package that allows inclusion of LTEX labels in EPS graphics using PSfrag will be presented. The clue is that positioning information and TEX code is automatically generated by the package. It also contains a preview capability that imports a bitmap of the final image including the rendered LTEX labels back into Mathematica.

This paper describes how to use an ontology for extensive semantic interrelation of documents in order to achieve sustainable development, i.e. continuous long-term usability of the contents. The ontology is structured via packages (corresponding to whole documents). Packages are related by import such that semantic interrelation becomes possible not only within a document but also between diff...

VFlib is a font library written in C providing several functions to obtain bitmaps of characters (i.e., a rasterizer). VFlib hides the font format of font files and provides a unified API for all supported font formats. Thus, programmers of application software need not worry about font file formats and any software using VFlib can support various font file formats immediately. In addition to t...

LTEX has been a long time favorite of mathematicians and physicists alike. However now, many packages are available, that have tremendously extended the capabilities of LTEX beyond routine typesetting and provide biologists new avenues to not only typeset documents, but also help in the visualization of membrane proteins and in the analysis of DNA or amino acid sequences by multiple sequence al...

This article introduces MLPOST, an OCaml library for scientific drawing. It is based on METAPOST, which allows inclusion of LTEX fragments. OCaml is an appealing alternative to LTEX macro languages, dedicated languages and even to graphic tools. In particular, MLPOST users benefit from OCaml’s expressiveness and static typing. Finally, MLPOST features a declarative style, which differs from the...

Can LTEX Profiles be Rendered Adequately with Static CSS? MathJax demonstrates that heavy customization of CSS with JavaScript and webfonts provides good platform-dependent rendering. The issue with MathJax is speed, not quality. There has been and continues to be intense development with CSS. One may speculate that, as CSS continues to evolve, static CSS may entirely suffice not only for HTML ...

Many programs producing EPS graphics do not allow the inclusion of LATEX commands. While there exist several solutions to work around these difficulties, they all have various drawbacks. (See [1] for a discussion of several methods and an alternative approach to overcome these difficulties.) In this article, we will focus on a particular existing solution, the PSfrag package [2], which provides...

PDF has been the preferred format for publishing mathematics for many years now. With changes to methods of delivery (i.e., electronic rather than predominantly paper) there need to be corresponding enhancements in the document format. Not least among these can be implicit legal obligations to satisfy Accessibility criteria. The answer developed for PDF is tagging of document structure and cont...

Drawing programs or geometry software and Perl filter programs are used to create conveniently even complicated figures with the LTEX picture environment. The filter programs parse PostScript files and generate LTEX code ready for use. The new method will be explained with two filter programs for the geometry software CabrigéomètreTM II. The first program only requires the package ebezier [2]. ...
