% FEATURES/USAGE
%
% This is an experimental package for use with pictex[wd].sty/.tex.
% It works with LaTeX2e as well as with Plain TeX or LaTeX2.09.
% It is "experimental" in that it has come from a mixture of knowing
% PiCTeX internals and guesses that surprisingly seem to work.
%
% PiCTeX's \plot, \circulararc and \ellipticalarc normally don't contribute to
% proper placement of the picture between text and margins, which may result
% in pictures overlapping with text or in uneven distances to text margins.
% You should find a file autodemo-.pdf nearby that illustrates how this may
% look.
%
% In such cases, the document author must use PiCTeX's \setplotarea to correct
% this manually, determining the "bounding box" (cf. documentation as indicated
% after \endinput below). PiCTeX's \put, on the opposite, normally DOES
% contribute to PiCTeX's automatical calculation of the boundaries.
%
% autoarea.sty tries to determine the bounding box even for lines and arcs
% automatically instead, so you can omit \setplotarea (at least for this
% purpose). You just have to load it (we hope) after pictex[wd].sty/.tex, by,
% e.g.,
%
% \usepackage{pictexwd,autoarea}
% or
% \input pictexwd
% \input autoarea.sty
%
% The package defines just three user commands \plottedat, \autoaccountingoff,
% and \autoaccountingon - which you perhaps won't need, just loading the
% package may suffice. The samples autodemo-.pdf and autodemo+.pdf nearby both
% were generated by omitting \setplotarea, the difference being that
% autodemo+.pdf profits from \usepackage{autoarea}, which may convince you
% that it's worth trying autoarea.
%
% \plottedat XMIN YMIN \plottedat XMAX YMAX may (otherwise) replace
% \setplotarea x from XMIN to XMAX, y from YMIN to YMAX
% A single "\plottedat ..." may suffice if other \put commands
% contribute to proper placement of the picture sufficiently already.
\expandafter %% ersatz-\newcommand if without LaTeX
\ifx \csname newcommand\endcsname \relax
\def\newcommand#1{\def#1} \fi
\newcommand{\plottedat}{\put {} at }
% (If the user doesn't want it, we still need it here!)
%
% Should a \plot or \circulararc command seem to produce more space than
% you want, put it between \autoaccountingoff and \autoaccountingon,
% then try \plottedat and \setplotarea if needed.
%
% Our trick will account for starting, ending, or corner points of curves.
% This may not suffice in general (e.g., with \setquadratic),
% then you still may need \plottedat or \setplotarea. Below \endinput you
% find more on CAVEATS etc.

CAVEATS
1. I won't try to find out whether autoarea.sty makes \setplotarea entirely
superfluous: will drawing a coordinate system work without \setplotarea?
2. Certainly it was not due to dullness that PiCTeX didn't provide autoarea's
feature originally. Around 1990, it was important to care for speed with PiCTeX
(and it may still be, I won't try complex examples).
Apart from up to four, line and arc commands are irrelevant for placing the
picture correctly. About the same holds for put commands, and that's why PiCTeX
has \accountingoff and \accountingon to ignore many of them. Our \autoaccountingoff
and \autoaccountingon serve the analoguous purpose for line and arc commands.
3. I don't know exactly how arc commands work, therefore I wouldn't be astonished
if the result still is not properly centered. Our trick is take account of some
points all of which an approximating curve must meet. Can that curve bend out of
the bounding rectangle of those points?

CHANGE HISTORY
v0.1 2008/02/14 Working, addressed compatibility with ArabTeX.
v0.2 2008/02/14a Moved compatibility to lorchpic.sty.
This one submitted to CTAN, soon kind of withdrawn.
v0.3 2008/04/19 Made generic, expanded prose.
2008/04/25 `Lueck', not `Lück', for UNIX etc.
2008/05/07 ersatz-\newcommand earlier, typo;
removed remarks on PiCTeX documentation.
2008/05/08 Added version numbers, corrected ersatz-\newcommand;
uploaded in pictex_may_2008.zip - in vain.
v0.3a 2008/08/12 typo fix "too text" -> "to text".

FORMER VERSION 2008/02/13 (ul, 2008/02/14):
I couldn't find a working redefinition of \circulararc
("Use of \ellipticalarc doesn't match its definition");
on the other hand its internals seem to the job all ready;
and my redefinition seemed to raise further difficulties.
Here's what I had tried before:
% \circulararc may do the trick for full circles (360 degree) only.
% CAVEAT: assumes that x and y units are the same.
% Otherwise or when something else goes wrong, put \circulararc between
% \autoaccountingarcoff and \autoaccountingarcon.
%
% These features come from the start if you load the present package.
