ePiX Description

Create mathematically accurate figures, plots, and movies using easy-to-learn syntax ePiX, a collection of batch utilities for GNU/Linux and similar platforms, creates mathematically accurate figures, plots, and movies using easy-to-learn syntax. The output is expressly suitable for use with LaTeX; figures may be written in a LaTeX picture environment containing PSTricks, tikz, or eepic macros, or as vector (EPS or PDF) image files. The user interface resembles that of LaTeX: You prepare a human-readable scene description in a text editor, then compile the input file into a picture. The sample gallery contains dozens of examples, together with thumbnails and full-sized images.These sample files come with the source code. The manual contains detailed tutorial instructions on compiling files and getting started writing your own.ePiX serves as a bridge between the computational power of C++ and the typographical capabilities of LaTeX. In particular, ePiX can depict the results of complex computations in the same typographical style as a LaTeX document, and is easily extended with only a modest amount of programming knowledge. No experience with C++ is needed to use ePiX, however. Requirements: · Xcode (to build the program from sources) What's New in This Release: · Bugfixes for NetBSD (Aran Clauson) · make_header: #! /bin/bash -> #! /bin/sh · doc/Makefile.am: &>/dev/null -> 2>&1 >/dev/null (5 instances) curves.cc: · (line) Use one segment by default · (line) Reduce length, increase num_pts · triples.cc: (is_valid) Remove test for |(x,y,z)|^2 < INFTY (Mike Protts) · epix.el.in, Makefile.am: Look for info file in @infodir@ · samples/Makefile.am, doc/makefile.am: ":=" -> "="
