- Extract the parameters for TeX's \parshape command and for \shapepar (defined in the shapepar package).
- Construct frames for use with the flowfram package.
- Pictures can be saved in FlowframTk's native open binary format
(JDR)
or native open ascii format (AJR) or can be exported as:
- a pgfpicture environment for use in LaTeX documents with the pgf package
- a LaTeX2e package based on the flowfram package
- an encapsulated postscript (EPS) file
- a PNG image file
- a scalable vector graphics (SVG) image file
- Alternative text can be specified to use when exporting to a LaTeX file (e.g. if the text contains symbols or if it should be set in maths mode).
- Mappings can be used to specify what LaTeX font declarations should be used when exporting to a LaTeX file.
- Accompanying Applications:
- jdrview
- A lightweight jdr/ajr image viewer
- jdrutils

MakeGlossariesGUI
MakeGlossariesGUI is a Java GUI alternative to the makeglossaries Perl script supplied by the glossaries package. It can also be used as a diagnostic tool when there are problems with the document glossaries.
Note that if you are opting to use MakeGlossariesGUI because you don't want to install Perl, then you are limiting yourself to makeindex as xindy also requires Perl. See also Incorporating makeglossaries or makeglossaries-lite or bib2gls into the document build.
