GrafCet2 Package

With this package sequential function charts can be created following the GRAFCET norm (IEC 60 848). While there are more modern norms for creating SFC diagrams, I have to create GRAFCETs quiet a lot, so I created this package. The old grafcet Package doesn't fit more modern approaches and its documentation is completely in French. So I decided to recreate all needed functionality by stealing the code base of the tikz-sfc package and to include the additional shapes needed to create complete GRAFCETs. This means that most of its documentation applies for this package as well.

The package is a work in progress. It does work in its current state, but I plan on changing some behaviour as well as adding some more features, if I can find the time.

Plans

  • allowing for use of \not{} in transitions and conditions
  • converting this from a package to a tikz-liabry (same as sfc
  • polishing the tikz-key backend, so that less nesting is needed (no idea how though)
  • adding an easy way to create parallel junctions
  • adding documentation

Usage

To use the package, just download the grafcet2.sty file and place it next to your project (or in a folder that's on TEXINPUTS).

Then you can load the package as you would expect:

\usepackage{grafcet2}

The commands work very similar to the tikz-sfc package, so most of its documentation applies. But it's probably easiest if you just look at the example.
