Go Typesetting

   

This section should include all resources related with typesetting Go boards using different tools. It is especially dedicated with publicly available tools to typeset Go boards and games in LaTeX.

  • [ext] psgoThe PSGO package provides functionality to draw Go diagrams with LaTeX. It is built on top of the PSTricks package. As PSTricks is included in the standard LaTeX distribution, this should not be a portability problem. (Homepage does not work anymore, but you an get psgo from CTAN)
  • GoDiag is a extension module for [ext] Lout (a Postscript-based typesetting system comparable to LaTeX) to create Go diagrams. It uses a markup language similar to the one used here on Sensei's Library.
  • [ext] Alpine Fonts provides a set of truetype fonts for many games, including Go. These are NOT free. This is not an endorsement, and I'm not even a customer. It's just something I ran across at one point. - Remillard
  • [ext] sgf2dg is a rewrite of sgf2tex. It produces diagrams in TeX, ASCII, PDF, PostScript?, Tk, ...
  • [ext] sgf2tex provides a program to convert an SGF file into a TeX/LaTeX representation. It comes with its own go fonts, which can be converted to Type 1 (postscript) fonts using [ext] mftrace. Using the Type 1 fonts, pretty go documents can be created in PDF format (using [ext] PDFlatex). - pwaldron?
  • [ext] GoSVG converts XML representations of Go diagrams into [ext] SVG. SGF can be converted to XML using Jago.
  • Adam? has a tool to convert SGF to printable diagrams.
  • gofigs freeware go diagram program
  • [ext] igo LaTeX package for nice typesetting

(REQ) I would really like the go fonts by Daniel Bump in Type1 version. However I am too lazy and dull to convert it myself. I would be very glad if somebody sends me the fonts. Tia --tasuki
