Welcome to "Tex's room". Those
who'd say "What is TeX?" or "What
is macro?" ,please click here.
Those who've seen a sample dvi file and
feel like downloading the macro source file,
please click here.
However,it's not an independent software, so LaTeX2e
and a dvi driver which can read tpic special commands
are necessary.
After downloading, place it in a folder which TeX
can recognize and use it in a way such as \usepackage{eepic,mathtips}.
As you see ,eepic style file is a must.
Eepic can be downloaded from here.
In addition,if you finish installing the macro source file,
and if you have an adequate dvi driver ,
you'll be able to see all the samples with
sample.tex .
Let me explain how I make up these macros
a little bit. I first knew TeX in Jun in
1997, and that was my first time to get a
computer. I got really crazy about both,
especially TeX' macros. I was making macro
commands everyday from day to night, without
making papers or handouts. It lasted for
about several months and I made almost all
the macro commands on this page in these
days. After the fever had gone, I had not
been making any macro. However, when I tried
to set up my homepage this time, I became
crazy again and even made up additional
macro i.e. Table with slashed boxes. It took
me more than one month only to finish it.
I'm exhausted and fed up with TeX's macros
NOW. Personally speaking, I prefer TeX's
macro to Java. Because, TeX's macro is useful
for my daily work and doesn't require lots
of commands as Java does. Finally, my favorites are
"Table with slashed boxes", "Division
by writing"and "Trigonometric functions",although
I don't use Trigonometric macro after I began
to use "WinTpic" . ( It is a software
for Windows which enables us to place tpic
special commands with GUI.)
You can distribute or modify the macro in
any way you like. However, if you change
any of the macro, don't distribute it. Please
report any bugs and , if any , enhancements
too.
I guess this macro is very unique except
"the two big flamed boxes". Because,
these macros are very specialized for
high school math in Japan.Therefore, I'm
afraid they are useless to others except
Japanese math teachers. However,they're so
specialized that you may appreciate the uniqueness
of this macro, with a exotic flavor. Thus,
I hope you enjoy this macro and be prepared
to get surprised by how much TeX can do.
