Introduction

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

ext.arrows provides additional arrow tips.
- Many of the standard arrows.meta library's get “Centered” and “Untipped” alternative.
- Furthermore, the arrow tips ext_Hug Cap for connecting circles neatly and ext_Loop are provided.
ext.arrows-plus allows to place arrow tips along a path.
These can either be placed via pics along a path operation (ext/arrow, ext/softpath arrows and ext/softpath arrow) or via keys ( ext/arc arrows and ext/softpath arrows) along a previous arc or any path segment. All except the ext/arrow key support the bending of arrow tips.

The \arrow command of the decorations.markings library has alternatives \arrow* and \arrow** for shifting and shifting/bending.

ext.calendar-plus extends the calendar library with more tests, week numbers and a few goodies.
- The already defined keys day xshift, day yshift, month xshift and month yshift are now proper value-keys and can be accessed wtithout having to use an @-riddled macro name.
- The if key is nestable.
- Via the pgfcalendar-ext package more conditionals are available, also week numbering according to ISO 8601 is supported.
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.
