A. Purpose The 'tkz-tab' package is built on top of PGF and its associated front-end, TikZ and is a (La)TeX-friendly drawing package. The aim is to provide some useful macros to build tables showing variations of functions as they are used in France. These macros may be used by only LaTeX TeX users. The documentation is in French. B. Features -- works with utf8 and pdflatex -- provides 'help' option, -- allows to draw tables of variations with a "forbidden zone", -- allows to use TikZ. C. Licence You may freely use and distribute this package under the terms of lppl and/or gpl. Read file TKZdoc-tab.pdf.pdf in the doc directory, for the complete documentation D. Contents of the folder (encoding utf8) -- README (this file) -- inputs: tkz-tab.sty -- doc: TKZdoc-tab.pdf, tkz-doc.cls, tkzexample.sty, doctab.ist, TKZdoc-tab-adapt.tex TKZdoc-tab-examples.tex, TKZdoc-tab-images.tex, TKZdoc-tab-init.tex, TKZdoc-tab-install.tex, TKZdoc-tab-main.tex TKZdoc-tab-sign.tex, TKZdoc-tab-slope.tex, TKZdoc-tab-tangente.tex, TKZdoc-tab-tv.tex, TKZdoc-tab-valeurs.tex, TKZdoc-tab-variation.tex var-latin1.tex ( example with latin1) var-latin1.pdf sign-latin1.tex( example with latin1) sign-latin1.pdf tkz-doc.cls is a class (beta version) to make the documentation. You need also the tkzexample.sty package (beta version) and KOMA-Script 2009/01/24 v3.02b to compile the documentation. E. Installation If you need to install it by yourself, a TDS compliant zip archive is provided (tkz-tab.zip). Just download that file, and unpack it in your TDS directory (~/texmf for Unix-like systems). If you only need to use 'tkz-tab.sty' then you have to copy 'tkz-tab.sty' into '~/texmf/tex/latex'. If you want also to compile the documentation then you need to copy tkz-doc.cls and tkzexample.sty in the same folder and you need to use pdf(e)tex. With MiKTeX, copy folder 'tkz-tab.sty' into 'C:\texmf\tex\latex', then run 'MiKTeX Options'. In the 'File name database' section, click on 'Refresh now'. F. The author of the 'tkz-tab.sty' package is Alain Matthes. -- Alain Matthes, February, 24th, 2009
