TpX Changelog
What's new in TpX 1.5
May 10, 2012- New version of TpX file format, version 5 (treatment of dotted lines has changed incompatibly)
- Objects group/ungroup operations.
- Bitmap objects (sam2p utility is used to convert bitmaps to EPS for inclusion into PostScript output)
- Now it is possible to use the default font size of the parent LaTeX document by setting FontSizeInTeX property to 0 (\fontsize...\selectfont would not be added to LaTeX code).
- More properties of graphical objects can be changed using toolbar (for all selected objects at once): arrow-heads, text labels, stars.
- Picking up, applying and clearing properties of graphical objects
- "Simplify Bezier" operation
- "Delete small objects" operation
- Freehand Bezier curve instead of freehand polyline
- Lua module for generating TpX files (lTpX) replaced the old Python module (TpXpy)
- Vertical alignment of text proved to be unreliable and hard to be made compatible across devices. All text labels are now baseline aligned.
- Dots in dotted lines are now square (they where rectangular)
- Simpler preview.tex.inc. TpX now adds the packages it needs automatically and unneeded packages are not added to preview document.
- Saving of preview source.
New in TpX 1.4 (Aug 4, 2007)
- New version of TpX file format, version 4 (differences in storing ellipses, PicUnutLength replaced by BitmapRes)
