graphics bundle is the documentation on the recommended LaTeX2e
graphics package, which includes information on how to use colours
in the output.
These packages control the visual appearance and formatting of LaTeX documents. Many of them are described in the book []The LaTeX http://cseng.awl.com/bookdetail.qry?ISBN=0-201-54199-8&ptype=0 Companion and they are grouped here in accordance with the headings defined there.

of aligning things in columns.
mdwmath.sty
http://rphibm1.uni-regensburg.de/cluster/software/tex/doc/latex/mdwtools/mdwmath.dvi
