This project creates PDFs from Vit Brunners (github repository)
Tsumego Collections using psgo
(ctan).
I am very thankful to Vit Brunner for the work he did on his Tsumego Collections (website).
These collections were created using
sgf2dg (cpan).
They depend on a certain font, that my printer does not support.
Instead of getting the fonts working,
I decided to recreate the books using psgo, which uses tikz to draw the
go boards (go/baduk/weiqi game)
directly.
This allowed me to change the Collections typesettings to my needs,
leading to a version of the Collections for double sided printing (long edge flip) on A4 paper to produce an A5 booklet.
In short: I had a fun weekend using Haskell, Makefiles and LaTeX. But I don't expect this to be of much use to anyone else.
You will need (at least) the following tools:
ghcmakelatexpdflatexdvipdf(akadvips)
You will also need to install
psgo
from http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/pstricks/contrib/psgo/.
Simply copy the psgo.sty file into this repository.
After taking care of all dependencies type make all on a console in the repository's directory.
This may take some time and will place the resulting PDFs in the pdf directory
which will be created if it does not exist.
