huffman

This METAPOST package allows to draw binary Huffman trees from two arrays : a string one, and a value one. It is based on METAOBJ package which provides many tools to build trees in general.

This package is in beta version, do not hesitate to report bugs, as well as requests for improvement.

Installation

huffman is on the ctan and can be installed via the package manager of your distribution https://www.ctan.org/pkg/mpchess.

With TeX live under Linux or MacOS

To install huffman with TeX live, you will have to create the directory texmf directory in your home.

Once this is done, huffman will be loaded with the classic

input huffman

These two systems are unknown to the author of MPchess, so we refer to their documentation to add local packages: http://docs.miktex.org/manual/localadditions.html
