Hi!
I read the PGF user guide (/usr/share/doc/pgf/pgfuserguide.pdf.gz)
and I think I found some typos.
I point them out here, so that they can be fixed and/or forwarded
to upstream.
Here we go!
In _How to Specify a Point_
---------------------------
Yields a point that is the rth fraction between p1 and p2,
the 2 in "p2" should be a subscript, but it's not
Image the rectangle whose corners are <first point> and second <second point>
the word "second" is repeated twice, I think it shouldn't
Probably s/Image/Imagine/
In _Stroking and Filling_
-------------------------
The example for \pgffill wrongly uses \pgfstroke instead
of, well, \pdffill
Strokes the current path, the closes the current path,
s/the closes/then closes/
In _Image Inclusion_
--------------------
In \pdfdeclareimage example, I fail to see any difference between
image1 and image3 (apart from the image name...).
The maks must have
that the maks must be
s/maks/mask/
In _Placing Lab els on Lines_
-----------------------------
The example code for \pgflabel seems to produce something different
from what is shown.
The orthogonal offset for the circle should be 5pt, instead of 1pt.
Moreover the orthogonal offset for the "Hi!" text should be something
like 20pt, I think.
The same holds for the \pgfputlabelrotated example code.
after having translated are rotated
s/are/and/
In _Shadings_
-------------
Declares an radial shading.
s/an/a/
In _Placing Lab els on No de Connections_
-----------------------------------------
Description of \pgfnodelabel seems to differ from the corresponding
usage in the example: in the former there is {<fraction>}, in the
latter there is [0.5] and [0.75].
By experimenting I found that the example is correct, while the
description is wrong...
Hence, the description should say [<fraction>]
The same problem seems to affect the \pgfnodelabelrotated description.
In _Extended Color Support_
---------------------------
whether there exists an image named foo.!50!white!25!black.
s/foo.!50!white!25!black/foo.!25!black!25!white/
