Ipe is a drawing editor for creating figures in PDF or (encapsulated) Postscript format. It supports making small figures for inclusion into LaTeX-documents as well as making multi-page PDF presentations that can be shown on-line with Acrobat Reader. Ipe's main features are: * Entry of text as LaTeX source code. This makes it easy to enter mathematical expressions, and to reuse the LaTeX-macros of the main document. In the display text is displayed as it will appear in the figure. * Produces pure Postscript/PDF, including the text. Ipe converts the LaTeX-source to PDF or Postscript when the file is saved. * It is easy to align objects with respect to each other (for instance, to place a point on the intersection of two lines, or to draw a circle through three given points) using various snapping modes. * Users can provide ipelets (Ipe plug-ins) to add functionality to Ipe. This way, Ipe can be extended for each task at hand. * The text model is based on Unicode, and has been tested with Korean, Chinese, and Japanese. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux riemann 2.4.20-686 #1 Mon Jan 13 22:22:30 EST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
