dot2tex - A Graphviz to LaTeX converter ======================================= Copyright (C) 2007-2008 Kjell Magne Fauske License: MIT (See LICENSE for details.) Version: 2.8.7 URL: http://www.fauskes.net/code/dot2tex/ Dot2tex is a tool for converting graphs rendered by Graphviz to formats that can be used with LaTeX. Installation ============ Before you install dot2tex you have to have a working Python environment installed on your system. Dot2tex has been developed and tested with Python 2.4, but it will probably run fine using Python 2.3. In addition you'll need the following modules: * pyparsing (http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com/). A recent version is required. Older version like for instance 1.3.2 does not work with dot2tex. * preview (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/preview.html) A stand-alone part of the preview-latex/AUCTeX bundle. Required for preprocessing graphs with LaTeX. * PGF/TikZ 2.0 or later required. Note. If you have dot2tex version 2.5.0 or older installed, please remove the old version of the dot2tex.py file in your SCRIPTS directory before you install the latest dot2tex version. Otherwise the new dot2tex wrapper script will try to load the dot2tex.py as a module. From source ----------- Download a zip or a tarball from the download_ page. It is also available on CTAN_. Unpack the file to a directory and run ``python`` on the ``setup.py`` file:: $ python setup.py install This will create a dot2tex module in your Python module directory and a wrapper script in your ``SCRIPTS`` directory. Note that a few warnings will be displayed. You can safely ignore them. The warnings are shown because there is some extra information in the ``setup.py`` file that distutils does not understand. .. _download: http://www.fauskes.net/code/dot2tex/download/ .. _CTAN: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/dot2tex.html Using easy_install ------------------ The easiest way to install dot2tex is to use `easy_install`_:: $ easy_install dot2tex The command will locate dot2tex and download it automatically. Note that documentation and examples are not installed by default. `Easy_install`_ will also create a wrapper script or EXE file for you and install dependencies if necessary. .. _easy_install: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall Binary packages --------------- Binary packages are available for Debian_ and OpenSUSE_. .. _Debian: http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/dot2tex.html .. _OpenSUSE: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jimfunk/ Development version ------------------- The development version of ``dot2tex`` is available from a `Subversion repository`_ hosted at Google code. To get the code you can use the following command:: svn checkout http://dot2tex.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ dot2tex .. _Subversion repository: http://code.google.com/p/dot2tex/source What's new in version 2.8.7 =========================== Bugfixes: - Edges with no edge points are now properly handled. - Fixed handling of stderr when creating xdot data. - Exceptions are now caught when accessing invalid win32 registry keys. - Updated Graphviz registry key. - Fixed templates so that crop code is not inserted when preprocessing the graph.
