  ## Accessories

  - EasyTimeline tool, a front-end that invokes ploticus.
  - diffs for "Makefile_api" to create sharedlib on MacOS X contributed by Dieter Fiebelkorn (25 Aug '03)
  - libplg documentation for the underlying API that ploticus uses for drawing to X11, PostScript, etc. Also some examples that use libplg. (15 Aug '03)
  - Perl interface to the ploticus API contributed by Dan Sully (28 Jul '03)
  - fdbfonts.tar.gz several fdb fonts for use with SWF.
  - A patch allowing pl to be compiled with a new GD version that reintroduces gif support along with later GD features such as Freetype font support, etc. The patch was tested with libgd with gif support gd-2.0.12gif.tar.gz but probably works with any version of libgd newer than 1.8.4. The ploticus API is not supported by this patch. Contributed by Lukas Zimmermann, 12 Apr 2003. (The GIF-enabled libgd is at http://www.rime.com.au/gd/)
  - Python interface. A wrapper for the libploticus library that provides an interface for making ploticus calls using Python. Received 29 Jan 2003.
  - psencodings.tar.gz contributed by Artur Zaprzala (zybi@talex.pl). A simple script (AWK+Python) that generates Latin2 encoding table for postscript files using pstables.h from Freetype. It will also work for any other 8-bit encoding supported by Python. Received 28 Jan 2003.
  - dates.patch A patch contributed by Stephen Deken (stephen@flamewar.org) that enhances date processing, supports additional date formats, etc. Received 26 Jun 2002.
  - nicehatching.tar.gz A patch contributed by Scott McPeak that implements additional crosshatch patterns (diagonal) for shading bar graphs. Includes a general purpose vector package.
