New release (v0.8.11rc12)

["Andrew D. Hwang" <ahwang@mathcs.holycross.edu>]

Changes in this release:

* Plotting with domains is implemented; see the sample files for usage.

* Path concatenation operators are coded, but not yet convenient to use.
  The aim is to be able to build paths in pieces.

* Clipping Should Work as Advertized.


Path styles and filling have changed as follows:

* Dashed and dotted lines/paths do not use eepic.sty's dashed/dotted
  commands. The price is increased file size, but the results should look
  (much?) better. The following commands adjust the appearance of dashed
  and dotted lines:

  dash_fill(0.3);  // dashed lines/paths about 30% solid
  dash_length(18); // draw line dashes with about 18pt between midpts
  dot_sep(12);     // draw "dot"s in dotted lines about 12pt apart
  dot_size(4);     // set size of "dot"s, in true pt

  dot_sep and dash_length adjust the same internal parameter. The
  separation of dots and dashes in plots is controlled by the number of
  points used. "dot"s are small squares for colorability.

* Filling is accomplished by a style declaration, "fill()". "gray()" sets
  the color but does not fill anything. Arrows (and all paths other than
  polylines) are "fillable", e.g.

  fill();
  gray(1); // black
  arrow(P(0,0), P(2,1));

  gray(0.1);
  ellipse(...); // filled ellipse

  fill(false);  // turn off filling
  ellipse(...); // unfilled ellipse

  Clearly, this isn't the most pleasant syntax for systematically filling
  arrowheads...
