[ddp] ipe : drawing editor for creating figures in PDF or PS formats

[daily-debian-package at enix.org]

Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package ipe, which is part
of the graphics section, and maintained by Steve M. Robbins
<smr at debian.org>. 

This package contains : drawing editor for creating figures in PDF or
PS formats.

Ipe supports making small figures for inclusion into LaTeX
documents as well as making multi-page PDF presentations
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.

Package latex-ucs enables unicode text entry (for accented characters).
