LaTeXpackage: Define a LaTeX Package.

In xdvir: Render 'LaTeX' in Plots

Define a LaTeX Package.

Description

Define and register a LaTeX package for authoring, typesetting, and rendering LaTeX documents.

Usage

LaTeXpackage(name,
             preamble=NULL,
             prefix=NULL,
             suffix=NULL,
             special=NULL,
             init=NULL,
             final=NULL)
registerPackage(package)

Arguments

name	Character name for the package.
preamble, prefix, suffix	Character preamble, prefix, and suffix for authoring LaTeX documents.
special	Function for handling DVI specials during rendering.
init, final	Functions to initialise package before rendering and finalise after rendering.
package	A "LaTeXpackage" object.

Details

For simple cases, all that is required is a package name and a preamble that just contains a \usepackage command. See the example below.

More complex cases may involve adding a prefix and a suffix that, for example, begins and ends a 'LaTeX' environment.

Advanced cases may involve writing functions init, special, and final, which are called to handle DVI specials. The predefined support for 'TikZ' is a particularly complicated example.

Value

LaTeXpackage() returns a "LaTeXpackage" object.
