shortdesc A Perl filter program for use with PiCTeX.
longdesc MathsPIC(Perl) is a development of the earlier MathsPIC(DOS)
longdesc program, now implemented as a Perl script, being much more
longdesc portable than the earlier program. MathsPIC parses a plain text
longdesc input file and generates a plain text output-file containing
longdesc commands for drawing a diagram. Version 1.0 produces output
longdesc containing PiCTeX and (La)TeX commands, which may then be
longdesc processed by plain TeX or LaTeX in the usual way. MathsPIC also
longdesc outputs a comprehensive log-file. MathsPIC facilitates creating
longdesc figures using PiCTeX by providing an environment for
longdesc manipulating named points and also allows the use of variables
longdesc and maths (advance, multiply, and divide)--in short--it takes
longdesc the pain out of PiCTeX. Both the original DOS version and the
longdesc new Perl version are available.
