Subject: [Tioga-news] Tioga 1.4
Message-ID: <45BA7FFC.2040006@9online.fr>


  Hello dear Tioga users !

  I must say we've been working quite well recently, and we came up with
many new stuff and changes for Tioga 1.4:

  * Bill got tired to lose hair and time fighting with the MacOS GUI and
 decided to drop it entirely (though people interested in taking people
may contact him)
  * so, he came up with many different, simpler ways to do so:
improvements in the IRB file and a tioga ruby script that is now
installed as a program along with the library (try out tioga
samples/figures/figures.rb -l, for instance). I'm sure this will make
the scripting guys happy.
  * We've switched from CVS to SVN for the code repository (though this
is unlikely to affect any of you who hadn't noticed yet).
  * We're happy to announce that JJ Fleck has officially been granted
commit rights to the shiny new repository for his vtioga, a rails
application for displaying thumbnails/making PDFs (and much more). This
is however alpha software, and will be distributed separately from Tioga.
  * Several things have been improved, such as arrows (for my PhD),
support for parallel PDF production, and many other which I completely
forgot
  * And, we are proud now to announce that tioga has been turned into a
gem. gem install tioga should work properly. Note that compilation will
take place at install time, as we're not so good about producing binary
gems, and we would not have them for everyone anyway. Please, report any
problems with gems (or anything else) on the rubyforge trackers or on
the tioga-users mailing lists (tioga-users at rubyforge.org).

  Enjoy !

	Vincent

Subject: [Tioga-news] Ctioga version 1.2
Message-ID: <45BBA559.3020505@9online.fr>


  Hello all !

  A new version of ctioga has just been released to accompany the latest
tioga release. Among some highlights, there is now a (limited, but I'll
keep adding) support of Tioga graphics primitives, so that

ctioga --math 'sin(x)' --draw 'arrow: 0,0 5,0'

  Does exactly what it seems.

ctioga --draw-help

shows the tioga primitives currently know to ctioga.

  The news is that, along with tioga, you can now use ctioga as a gem.
In fact
gem install ctioga
should get everything working on your computer. Please tell me if it
doesn't.

  Cheers !

	Vincent
