##### Section G CTAN Edition

Welcome to the XML based and XSL generated version of The TeX Catalogue Online, Section G CTAN Edition. This is a listing of entries in the TeX Catalogue and may take a little time to load, but is hopefully worth it. Have a look at the Catalogue Preface for alternative ways of accessing the catalogue.

The TeX Catalogue Online is also available from any CTAN node or mirror, including the following. Pick one that is close to you. (The "search" link attempts to find a CTAN node that may be close to you, courtesy of Randy Kobes. Multiple clicks may find alternatives.)

search | aarnet | switch | cstug | dante | loria | tex | roma | riken | gust | rge | ctan

Icons associated with many entries in the catalogue allow you to:

- view the directory on CTAN
- view documentation (possibly many)
- view documentation in PDF format (requires the acroread plugin)
- jump to the package's home page
- download a gzip'd tar file from a nearby CTAN node (not supported by all nodes)

Other icons simply provide further information about the package:

This package combines the tools of the graphic, subfigure and float packages in a way that makes their use simpler and more robust.

These ensure that the \label command appears after the \caption command to avoid possible errors. The commands \graphfile and \graphfile have the additional advantage that the picture will be automatically centered along the horizontal direction.
