./textproc/aspic, Textual description of line art to EPS or SVG converter

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 2.00, Package name: aspic-2.00, Maintainer: prlw1

Aspic is a program that processes a textual description of a line
art graphic, and converts it into a form that is suitable for
inclusion in another document. The default output format is
Encapsulated PostScript, but there is also support for Scalable
Vector Graphics (SVG), and there is legacy support for the SGCAL
text processor.

Update aspic to 2.00
Version 2.00  15 October 2022
-----------------------------
Time for a spring clean of this very old code.
1. Fix warnings from current compiler checks.
2. Remove obsolete SGCAL support.
3. Remove obsolete 16-bit architecture support.
4. Remove obsolete SunOS4 support for missing div_t etc.
5. Refactor memory handling - fewer calls to malloc() and ensure everying is
   freed.
6. Add support for coloured text in SVG output (it already existed for EPS).
7. Improve the heuristic for calculating the bounding box of a string.
8. Add support for Bezier curve items, but no arrows.
9. Remove obsolete/redundant "is font loaded" check in PostScript output.
10. Add support for rotated text strings.
11. Avoid closing stdin or stdout.
12. Change default output to .eps or .svg if a named input file but no output
given.
13. Give error for text option consisting just one number if it contains a
decimal point, as it is supposed to be a font number.
14. Add support for bounding frame thickness, colour, fill, dashedness.
15. With the help of LCOV, extend the tests to improve their coverage.
16. General code tidying throughout, without affecting behaviour, for example
moving some declarations into "for" loops and adding/extending comments.
