Introduction

This is not a LaTeX package but a collection of libraries for PGF and TikZ;

• ext.arrows provides “Centered” arrow tips.
• ext.arrows-plus allows to place bended tips along a path.
• ext.calendar-plus extends the calendar library with more tests, week numbers and a few goodies.
• ext.layers allows to put nodes etc on a separate layer without having to use pgfonlayer.
• ext.nodes extends the functionalities around nodes.
• ext.node-families uses the AUX file to sync the sizes of nodes.
  • ext.node-families.shapes.geometric
• ext.paths.arcto uses \pgfpatharcto to construct an arc to a point.
• ext.paths.ortho provides orthogonal path operations -|-, |-|, r-rl, r-lr, r-du and r-ud.
• ext.paths.timer adds timers to rectangle, parabola, sin and cos.
• ext.patterns.images allows images to be used as a path‘s pattern.
• ext.positioning-plus adds more ways to position nodes in reference to each other.
• ext.scalepicture scales a TikZ picture to the desired dimensions.
• ext.topaths.arcthrough installs a to path that expects a third point that defines an arc.
• ext.transformations.mirror adds transformations that reflect on arbitrary lines.
• ext.misc which includes
  • the PGFKeys library ext.pgfkeys-plus and
  • the PGFFor extension pgffor-ext.
• Shapes:
  • ext.shapes.circlearrow
  • ext.shapes.circlecrosssplit
  • ext.shapes.heatmark
  • ext.shapes.rectangleroundedcorners
  • ext.shapes.superellipse
  • ext.shapes.uncenteredrectangle

These were developed in response to questions on tex.stackexchange.com or texwelt.de.
