[wxCode-users] Cron job: wxLatexDC is pending approval

name: wxLatexDC
wxversion: 2.9
category: graphics,printing
language: cpp
description: wxLatexDC is a device context that will generate a LaTeX2e file from graphics and text that were drawn onto it. It makes use of PSTricks (http://tug.org/PSTricks) to create Tex-compatible PostScript macros. You can create a wxLatexDC in exactly the same way as a wxSVGFileDC. At present, only a small part of the DC drawing functions have been implemented. The major advantage of using LaTeX output rather than directly writing PostScript is that typesetting can be done in LaTeX, so that graphics seemlessly integrate into documents. A positive side effect is that the PSTricks macros are more easily readable than plain PostScript.

Hi,
    this component descriptions seems perfect!

Just a minor detail:

> location: wxlatex
I'd rather call the folder "latexdc" as "wx" prefix is not necessary and 
just "latex" seems too generic. Obviously "latexdc" makes sense if you 
plan to provide only a wxLatexDC class and not also other (big) 
latex-related utilities... what do you think?

Francesco

Great. I just wanted to note that the files are named dclatex.cpp and 
dclatex.h, in analogy to dcsvg.*. If that's not too confusing, I'm 
perfectly fine with latexdc.
Thanks for your work,
Christoph

I don't think it's confusing at all; I've added your component to wxCode 
SVN.

Please look at the maintainer's guide for more info:

    http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/maintguide.php

and don't hesitate to ask on this mailing list for help.

Thanks for your component!
