* What jPicEdt is
jPicEdt is a software aimed at alleviating the burden of using
PSTricks, eepic or LaTeX's picture environment macros in a LaTeX file.
It allows the user to draw graphical objects using graphic primitives
(e.g. splines, arcs, polygons,\hellip), position them easily with the
mouse, and add text using LaTeX/PsTricks box commands (e.g. dashbox,
psframebox,\hellip). Yet this is not a 100% WYSIWYG software, and
arguments of box commands are displayed as is (jPicEdt doesn't include
any TeX compiler !).
As of release 2.0, pictures can be saved to one of the four following formats:
- LaTeX's standard picture environment, including emulated objects,
e.g. lines of any slope (which LaTeX doesn't support natively),
circles of any size, ellipses, arcs and polygons.
- epic/eepic, including dashed lines, shading, filled arcs,\hellip
- PSTricks macro packages: almost every macro in the pstricks.sty
package are supported, yet support for add-ons (i.e. pst-node.sty,
pst-coil.sty and gradient.sty) is still underway.
- TikZ macro packages
jPicEdt can also parse files that include macros in one of these three formats.
This allows in particular to load files generated by
GnuPlot with a "gset term eepic" or "gset term pstricks" command.
jPicEdt is written in Java, and is therefore 100% multiplatform. Older
releases (1.3.2 and older) are JDK1.1.x or JDK 1.3 compliant ; current
release works with any JDK 1.4. Latest JDK1.1- and JDK1.3-compliant
releases can be downloaded at [[http://www.jpicedt.org/]].
jPicEdt manual is available in English, French and German.
jPicEdt is free software, and is licensed under CeCILL v2 License. It
has i18n support for the English, French, German, Polish, Portuguese,
Russian and Spanish languages.
