Shape Up! book update

bd100 · December 13, 2019, 5:25am

The online book Shape Up! has been updated with improved grid lines and embedded fonts. It is hosted here at
https://online-go.com/docs/other-go-resources

The content is unchanged, it just looks nicer to print and read. It is now around 12M in size.

(The update process involved using pdfseparate to split into pages, Inkscape to automatically convert each page to SVG, then a gawk script to search/replace for stroke width and fonts, then Inkscape again to convert back to PDF with embedded fonts, then pdftk to recombine.)

Hmm, time for me to have another stab at it! It’s been at least a year and I appreciate shape more now.

Awesome, @bd100, looks MUCH better now, THANKS!

This looks like exactly the sort of thing I need to improve my own ‘horrific’ lack of shape skills.

Thanks for making this update. The formatting looks much better!

Does anyone know is it possible to get book sources in LaTeX?
I’m starting a translation project to Ukrainian language (at least partial, for 5-10 kyus level), and it would be great to use good quality diagrams, not screenshots.
