New CTAN package: pst-diffraction

[CTAN Announcements]

Herbert Voss has submitted another new pstricks package:

> The authors of the package are Manuel Luque and Herbert Vo\ss
> 
> This package allows to draw the diffraction patterns for different
> geometric forms of apertures for monochromatic light.
> The aperture stops can have rectangular, circular
> or triangular openings.
> The options available are the dimensions of the aperture
> under consideration and of the particular optical
> setting, e.g. the radius in case of an circular opening.
> Moreover one can choose the wavelength
> of the light (the associated color will be given
> automatically by the package).
> There are three commands, for rectangular, circular and
> triangular openings respectively:
> 
> \psdiffractionRectangle[settings]
> \psdiffractionCircular[settings]
> \psdiffractionTriangle[settings]
> 
> The documentation is available in english, french, and german.

i've installed the package and updated the catalogue.  users may view
the catalogue entry at

  http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/pst-diffraction.html

or browse the package directory at

  http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-diffraction/

(note that the documentation files are rather painfully large, and thus
the zip of that directory is also pretty huge.)

thank you, herbert and manuel, for the new package.
