-\section{Les commandes / Orders}
-
-\subsection{Grille semilog / Semilog grid}
-\begin{itemize}
-\item \verb"\semilog{décade mini}{décade maxi}{ymini}{ymaxi}"
-\item \verb"\semilog*{décade mini}{décade maxi}{ymini}{ymaxi}"
-\end{itemize}
-
-
-
-Cette commande générique, étoilée ou non permet de tracer une grille semilog. La commande étoilée permet d'afficher une grille logarithmique plus précise (demi valeur).
-
-
-
-\begin{tkzexample}[latex=8cm,small]
-\begin{tikzpicture}[yscale=2/30,xscale=7/5]
-\semilog{-2}{3}{-20}{10}
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tkzexample}
-
-\begin{tkzexample}[latex=8cm,small]
-\begin{tikzpicture}[yscale=2/30,xscale=7/5]
-\semilog*{-2}{3}{-20}{10}
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tkzexample}
-
-L'amplitude des coordonnées de l'abcisse doit être donnée en décade, de $10^{décade mini}$ à $10^{decade maxi}$, l'ordonnée varie elle de $ymini$ à $ymaxi$.
-
-On utilisera les commandes d'échelles de tikz pour adapter les dimensions de la grille à celle de la page. Ainsi si on souhaite afficher un diagramme d'amplitude de 5 décades de $10^{-1}$ à $10^{4}$ sur 7~cm et 80~dB de -60 à 20~dB sur 3~cm, le diagramme de phase de $-180^\circ$ à $0^\circ$ sur 3~cm avec un pas vertical de $30^\circ$ en précisant les unités (figure~\ref{fig:semilog}):

-\end{scope}
-\end{tikzpicture}
-
-\end{tkzexample}
-
-\caption{Grille semilog}
-\label{fig:semilog}
-\end{figure}
-
-
-\subsection{Grille semilog sans graduation / grid without graduation}
-
-La commande \verb"\semilogNG{nbdec}{y}" permet de tracer des diagrammes semi log sans graduation, le premier paramètre est le nombre de décade, le second l'amplitude des ordonées.
-
-\begin{tkzexample}[latex=8cm,small]
-\begin{tikzpicture}[yscale=3/50,xscale=\textwidth/3cm]
-\semilogNG{3}{50}
-\end{tikzpicture}
-\end{tkzexample}
-
-\subsection{Paramètres de configuration des diagrammes / parameters}
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item \verb"\UnitedB" permet d'afficher les unités pour un diagramme d'amplitude
-\item \verb"\UniteDegre" permet d'afficher les unités pour un diagramme de phase,
-\item \verb"\OrdBode{pas}" permet de préciser le pas des graduations verticales (par défaut 10) du diagramme semilog,
-\item \verb"\Unitx{} " et \verb"\Unity{}"permettent de choisir directement les unités à afficher, à utiliser sous la forme \verb"\def\Unity{}"
-\end{itemize}
-
-Les styles de tracé par défaut sont définis à l'aide de la commande \verb"\tikzset" :
-\begin{itemize}
-\item \verb"Bode lines/.style={very thick, blue}": style par défaut des tracé de bode (amplitude et gain);
-\item \verb"asymp lines/.style={Bode lines,thin}": style, déduit du précédent, utilisable pour tracer les asymptotes;
-\item \verb"semilog lines/.style={thin, brown}": style par défaut de la grille semilog;
-\item \verb"semilog half lines/.style={semilog lines 2, dashed }": style par défaut des demi pas de la grille semilog;
-\item \verb"semilog label x/.style={semilog lines,below,font=\tiny}": style des labels de l'axe des abscisses de la grille semilog;
-\item \verb"semilog label y/.style={semilog lines,right,font=\tiny}": idem pour l'axe des ordonnées.
-\end{itemize}
-
-
-Vous pouvez, en modifiant ces styles agir les tracés par défaut.

-\subsection{Tracé des diagrammes / Drawing bode graph}
-
-Les commandes de tracés nécessitent que gnuplot (\url{http://www.gnuplot.info/}) soit installé et utilisable par votre distribution \LaTeX.
-
-Trois commandes permettent de tracer les diagrammes d'amplitude et de phase (figure~\ref{fig:utilBodeGraph}).
-\begin{itemize}
-\item \verb"\BodeGraph[Options]{domain}{fonction}" pour le diagramme d'amplitude et de phase;
-\item \verb"\BodeGraph*[Options]{domain}{fonction}{[options]{texte}}" réalise le tracé et ajoute le texte avec les options précisées à l'extrémité.
-\item \verb"\BodePoint[Options]{liste}{fonction}" place les points de la liste sur le diagramme;
-\end{itemize}
-avec
-\begin{itemize}
-\item \verb"domain" le domaine du tracé précisé en puissance de 10, ainsi pour tracer une fonction de $10^{-2}$~rad/s à $10^{2}$~rad/s on notera le domaine \verb"-2:2";
-\item \verb"fonction" la fonction à tracé écrite avec la syntaxe gnuplot.
-\item \verb"options" par défaut les options suivantes \verb"[samples=50, thick, blue]" sont appliquées, toutes les options de tracé de tikz et de gnuplot peuvent être utilisées et substituent à celle par défaut, on notera principalement
-\begin{itemize}
-\item spécifiques à tikz
-\begin{itemize}
-\item la couleur, [red], [blue], \dots
-\item l'épaisseur [thin], [thick], \dots
-\item le style [dotted] [dashed], \dots
-\end{itemize}
-\item spécifiques à gnuplot
-\begin{itemize}
-\item le nombre de points [samples=xxx]
-\item l'identifiant du fichier créé [id=nomdufichier], il est à noter que tikz, sauvegarde au premier appel de gnuplot la table des valeurs et que si celle-ci est inchangée lors d'une compilation ultérieure, tikz réutilise la table précédemment sauvée. il est donc important pour minimiser le temps de compilation de préciser un id différent pour chaque courbe, par défaut les macros sauvegardent les graphes dans des fichiers différents (incrémentation d'un compteur), il n'est donc utile de nommer la courbe que si vous souhaitez la retrouver.
-\item le répertoire de sauvegarde des tables de données [prefix=repertoire/] (par défaut \verb"prefix=gnuplot/\jobname"). Cette configuration par défaut est réglé par un style défini à l'aide de \\ \verb"\tikzset" : \verb"gnuplot def/.style={samples=50,id=\arabic{idGnuplot},prefix=gnuplot/\jobname }".
-\end{itemize}
-\item pour les autres options, consulter la documentation de tikz.
-\end{itemize}
-\item styles prédéfinis: plusieurs styles sont prédéfinis à l'aide de la commande \verb"\tikzset", voir plus haut, la description des styles.
-\end{itemize}
-
-
-
-Ainsi pour tracer le diagramme d'amplitude de la fonction du premier ordre, $H(s) =\dfrac{3}{1+0.3\cdot s}$ entre $10^{-2}$~rad/s et $10^{2}$~rad/s sur une grille semi logarithmique, on utilise la séquence de commandes ci-dessous.

-
-\subsection{Fonctions de transfert élémentaires}
-
-Les fonctions de base pour tracer les diagrammes de Bode des systèmes du premier, du second ordre, et l'intégration, sont directement implémentées dans le package ainsi que les diagrammes asymptotiques de ces même fonctions.
-
-Ces fonctions ne peuvent être utilisées qu'avec les commandes de tracé:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item \verb"\BodeGraph[Options]{domaine}{fonction}";
-\item \verb"\BodeGraph*[Options]{domaine}{fonction}";
-\end{itemize}
-
-Le tracé des asymptotes présente un défaut à la cassure, cela est du à la finesse du tracé avec gnuplot, pour améliorer ce tracé, il est possible d'utiliser l'option \verb"const plot" qui permet de tracer des créneaux et d'augmenter le nombre de points à calculer \verb"samples=xxx" et mais cela risque d'accroître le temps de compilation.
-
-
-\subsubsection{Premier ordre}
-
-Deux commandes implémentent les formules permettant le tracé des diagrammes d'amplitude et de phase par gnuplot de la fonction du premier ordre $H_1(s)=\dfrac{K}{1+\tau\cdot s}$ et deux autres les diagrammes asymptotiques (figure~\ref{fig:premierordre}):
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item \verb"\POAmp{K}{tau}" pour le diagramme d'amplitude, avec \verb"K" le gain \verb"tau" la constante de temps;
-\item \verb"\POAmpAsymp{K}{tau}" pour le diagramme asymptotique d'amplitude;
-\item \verb"\POArg{K}{tau}" pour le diagramme de phase;
-\item \verb"\POArgAsymp{K}{tau}" pour le diagramme asymptotique de phase.
-\end{itemize}
-
-Remarque : la donnée, \verb"{K}" n'est pas utile pour tracer le diagramme de phase, il est juste maintenu pour faciliter l'écriture de la fonction par copie directe de la commande de tracer du module.

-\begin{itemize}
-\item \verb"\SOAmp{K}{z}{Wn}" pour le diagramme d'amplitude, avec \verb"K" le gain, \verb"z" le coefficient d'amortissement et \verb"Wn" la pulsation propre;
-\item \verb"\SOAmpAsymp{K}{z}{Wn}" pour le diagramme asymptotique d'amplitude;
-\item \verb"\SOArg{K}{z}{Wn}" pour le diagramme de phase;

-\section{Diagramme de Black}
-
-
-\subsection{Lieu de Black}
-
- Trois commandes (et 3 étoilées) et permettent de tracer et commenter le lieu de Black d'une fonction (figure~\ref{fig:diagblack}).
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item \verb"\BlackGraph[options de trace]{domaine}{fonction argument,fonction module}"
-\begin{itemize}
-\item \verb"{domaine}", c'est le domaine de tracé au sens de GnuPlot, il est conseillé de définir le domaine décade (entière ou non) comme \verb"{-1:3}", GnuPlot va tracer la fonction pour $\omega$ compris entre $10^{-1}$ et $10^{3}$.
-\item \verb"{argument,module}", la fonction à tracer doit être définie par la \verb"fonction argument" qui retourne l'argument en $~^\circ$ et la \verb"fonction module" qui retourne le module en dB. On peut bien sur utiliser les fonctions définies au dessus pour les diagrammes de Bode pour ces fonctions.
-\item \verb"[options de trace]", toutes les options tikz pour tracer des fonctions gnuplot.
-\end{itemize}
-\item \verb"\BlackGraph*[options de trace]{domaine}{fonction argument,fonction module}{[options]{texte}}" cette commande permet de rajouter commentaire (nom, référence, équation) à l'extrémité d'un tracé. Les paramètres sont identiques, se rajoute uniquement \verb"{[options]{texte}}"
-\begin{itemize}
-\item \verb"[options]", ce sont les options d'écriture du texte (couleur, position,...),
-\item \verb"{texte}", le texte à écrire entre parenthèses;
-\end{itemize}
-\item \verb"\BlackPoint[options]{liste pulsations}{fonction argument,fonction module}" cette commande permet de tracer et noter des points particuliers du graphe, la valeur de la pulsation est placée à coté (droite par défaut).
-\begin{itemize}
-\item \verb"[options]" options de tracé (couleur, id, prefix,\dots),
-\item \verb"{liste pulsations}" pulsations en rad/s séparées par une virgule,
-\item \verb"{fonction argument,fonction module}" identique à \verb"\BlackGraph"
-\end{itemize}
-
-\item \verb"\BlackPoint*[options]{liste pulsations}{fonction argument,fonction module}" la version étoilée de la commande précédente permet de choisir la position de chaque texte, comme l'exemple \verb"{1/right,10/left,150/above right,....)"
-
-\item \verb"\BlackText[options]{pulsation/pos/texte}{fonction argument,fonction module}" cette commande permet de positionner un \verb"texte" par rapport à la courbe définie par \verb"{fonction argument,fonction module}" le texte étant positionné à la pulsation \verb"pulsation", le paramètre \verb"pos" permet de préciser la position du texte (\verb"right", \verb"above", \verb"below left", \dots). Le point est nommé \verb"NBlack"
-
-\item \verb"\BlackText*[options]{pulsation/pos/texte}{fonction argument,fonction module}" cette commande est identique à la précédente mais ne dessine pas de points.
-\end{itemize}
-
-\subsubsection{styles par défaut}
-
-Le tracé du diagramme de Black, de la grille et de l'abaque de Black-Nichols utilise plusieurs styles que vous pouvez modifier, avec la commande \verb"\tikzset".
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item \verb"Black lines/.style={very thick, blue}": style par défaut du tracé du lieu de Black;
-\item \verb"Black grid/.style={ultra thin,brown!50}": Style par défaut de la grille (commande \verb"\BlackGrid");
-\item \verb"Black label points/.style={font=\tiny}": style par défaut du label des points marqués (commandes \verb"\BlackPoint" et \verb"\BlackText");
-\item \verb"Black label axes/.style={Black grid, font=\tiny}" style par défaut des axes du diagrame;
-\item \verb"Black abaque mag/.style={gray,ultra thin,dashed,smooth}": style par défaut des contours isogains;
-\item \verb"Black abaque phase/.style={gray,ultra thin,smooth}": style par défaut des contours isoarguments;
-\item \verb"ref points/.style={circle,draw, black, opacity=0.7,fill, minimum size= 2pt, inner sep=0}": style utilisé pour marquer les points sur le diagramme.
-\end{itemize}
-
-
-
-\subsection{Grille et abaque de Black-Nichols}
-
-\subsubsection{grille}
-Une grille peut aussi être ajoutée avec la commande \verb"\BlackGrid" qui dessine une grille dont le pas horizontal est définie par la variable \verb"\valgridBx" (par défaut $45^\circ$ que l'on change si on le souhaite par \verb"\def\valgridBx{10}", le pas vertical est lui défini par \verb"\valgridBy" (par défaut 10~dB ). Cette commande dessine aussi le point critique (-$180^\circ$ ,0~dB) et gradue les axes. La commande étoilée \verb"\BlackGrid*" , ne dessine que la grille.
-
-\subsubsection{Abaque de Black-Nichols}
-
-\verb"\AbaqueBlack" permet de tracer les courbes isomodule et isoargument de l'abaque de Black-Nichols (figure~\ref{fig:AbaqueBlack}).
-
-
-Les seules valeurs possibles pour ces courbes de gain et d'argument sont les suivantes:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item isomodule, gain en dB: -30, -25, -20, -15, -12, -10, -8, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, -0.5, -0.2, 0, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 2.3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10;
-\item isoargument, en $~^\circ$: 359, 357, 354, 350, 345, 340, 330, 315, 300, 285, 270, 255, 240 , 225, 210,195, 190, 170,165, 150, 135, 120, 105, 90, 75, 60, 45, 30, 20, 15, 10, 6, 3, 1.
-\end{itemize}
-
-Deux autres commandes permettent de limiter l'affichage à quelques courbes:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item \verb"\IsoModule[listedB]" cette commande permet de tracer uniquement les courbes d'amplitude de la liste \verb"listedB", par défaut, toutes les courbes sont dessinées.
-\item \verb"\IsoArgument[listedeg]", cette commande permet de tracer uniquement les courbes d'amplitude de la liste \verb"listedeg", par défaut, toutes les courbes sont tracées.
-\end{itemize}
-
-Le style des courbes tracées est modifiable à l'aide des deux commandes:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item \verb"\StyleIsoM[couleur,épaisseur, ...]" pour les courbes isomodules.
-\item \verb"\StyleIsoA[couleur,épaisseur, ...]" pour les courbes isoarguments.
-\end{itemize}
-
-Ces deux commandes se rajoutent aux options de style défini par défaut.
-
-Remarque: pour ne pas trop ralentir la compilation, les courbes sont pré-calculées. Elles sont définies dans les deux fichiers isom.txt et isoa.txt (respectivement pour le module et l'argument). Si vous souhaitez ajouter de nouvelles courbes, il faut les ajouter dans ces fichiers en respectant la syntaxe.

-\section{Diagramme de Nyquist}
-
-Le package permet aussi de tracer le diagramme de Nyquist (figure~\ref{fig:diagnyq}) d'une fonction linéaire, le tracé est réalisé à partir de la description polaire de la fonction de transfert $H(i\cdot _omega)=\|{H(i\cdot \omega)}\|\cdot e^{\arg\left(H(i\cdot \omega)\right)}$. Cela permet de tracer le diagramme de Nyquist à partir des définitions précédentes du module et de l'argument.

-\item \verb"\NyquistText{options]{pulsation/pos/text}{Module en dB}{Argument en degre}" cette commande permet de positionner un \verb"texte" par rapport à la courbe définie par \verb"{fonction argument,fonction module}" le texte étant positionné à la pulsation \verb"pulsation", le paramètre \verb"pos" permet de préciser la position du texte (\verb"right", \verb"above", \verb"below left", \dots). Le point est nommé \verb"NNyquist".
-
-\item \verb"\NyquistText*{options]{pulsation/pos/text}{Module en dB}{Argument en degre}" commande identique à la précédente mais le point n'est pas dessiné.
-\end{itemize}
-
-
-Un grille peut être ajoutée au tracé par la commande \verb"\NyquistGrid", par défaut le pas de la grille est de 1 mais peut être réglé avec les deux variables \verb"\valgridNx" et \verb"\valgridNx". La commande étoilée trace la grille seule sans graduation, la commande simple trace en plus le cercle unitaire, le point critique (-1,0).
-
-\subsubsection{Styles par défaut}
-
-Comme pour le diagramme de Black, des styles par défaut sont proposés:
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item \verb"Nyquist lines/.style={very thick, blue}": style pour le tracé du lieu de Nyquist;
-\item \verb"Nyquist grid/.style={ultra thin,brown}": style de la grille;
-\item \verb"Nyquist label axes/.style={Nyquist grid,font=\tiny}":style utilisé pour les axes;
-\item \verb"Nyquist label points/.style={font=\tiny}", style utilisé pour les points
-\item \verb"ref points/.style={circle,draw, black, opacity=0.7,fill, minimum size= 2pt, inner sep=0}": style utilisé pour marquer les points sur le diagramme.
-\end{itemize}
-
-
-\subsection{Quelques exemples de tracé de lieu de Nyquist}
-
-Sur l'exemple figure~\ref{fig:diagnyq} sont représentées les fonctions suivantes:
-\begin{multicols}{2}
-\begin{itemize}
-\item $H_1(p)=\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{2\cdot 0.1}{1500}\cdot p +\dfrac{p^2}{1500^2}}$,
-\item $H_2(p)=\dfrac{5}{1+\dfrac{2\cdot 0.2}{150}\cdot p +\dfrac{p^2}{150^2}}$,
-\item $H_3(p)=\dfrac{5}{1+3\cdot p}$,
-\item $H_4(p)=\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{2\cdot 0.1}{1500}\cdot p +\dfrac{p^2}{1500^2}} \cdot \dfrac{0.43\cdot\left(1+0.0009\cdot p\right)^2}{0.0009\cdot p}$

-\end{itemize}
-\end{multicols}

+\begin{abstract}
+\OsciPackage{} is a PSTricks package to draw easily
+oscilloscope screen shots. Three channels can be used to represent the most common
+signals (damped or not): namely sinusoidal ($y=A\exp (-\lambda t)\sin
+(\frac{2\pi}{T}t+m\cdot\sin(\frac{2\pi}{T_m}t)+\phi) + c$), rectangular, triangular,
+dog's tooth (left and right oriented). The third channel allows you to add, to
+subtract or to multiply the two other signals. \textsc{Lissajous} diagrams (XY-mode)
+can also be obtained.
+\end{abstract}
+
+\vfill
+Thanks to Denis Girou for his most valuable
+help and his encouragements.
+\newpage
+
+\section{Introduction}
+
+\OsciPackage{} offers a unique macro with few parameters to interact on it (it is
+the same approach as in Denis \textsc{Girou}'s \textbf{`pst-poly'} package).
+\par
+The syntax is simply: \fbox{\cs{Oscillo}\texttt{[optional\_parameters]}}.
+\par
+\textbf{As for a real oscilloscope, it is important to choose the correct sensivity
+for each channel in relation to the amplitude of the signal. If you did the wrong
+choice, you will get bad-looking curves.}
+\par
+The style of the curves can be customized using the standard PSTricks parameters.
+
+\section{Usage}
+
+\subsection{Parameters}
+
+\setlist[description]{font=\normalfont\ttfamily}%
+
+
+There are thirty specific parameters defined to change the way the screen shots are
+drawn.
+Henceforth, the signals represented on channels A, B and C will be called `SignalA',
+`SignalB' and `SignalC'.
+\begin{description}
+
+\item[\texttt{period1} (real):] period $T_1$ (in ms) of SignalA (\emph{default:~20}).
+
+\item[\texttt{period2} (real):] period $T_2$ (in ms) of SignalB (\emph{default:~20}).
+
+\item[\texttt{amplitude1} (real):] amplitude $A_1$ (in V) of SignalA (\emph{default:~2}).
+
+\item[\texttt{amplitude2} (real):] amplitude $A_2$ (in V) of SignalB
+(\emph{default:~0 -- no signal}).
+
+\item[\texttt{periodmodulation1} (real):] period $T_{m1}$ (in ms) of SignalA
+(\emph{default:~100}).
+
+\item[\texttt{periodmodulation2} (real):] period $T_{m2}$ (in ms) of SignalB
+(\emph{default:~100}).
+
+\item[\texttt{freqmod1} (real):] modulation factor $m_1$ of SignalA (\emph{default:~0}).
+
+\item[\texttt{freqmod2} (real):] modulation factor $m_2$ of SignalB (\emph{default:~0}).
+
+\item[\texttt{phase1} (real):] phase $\phi_1$ (in deg) of SignalA (\emph{default:~0}).
+
+\item[\texttt{phase2} (real):] phase $\phi_2$ (in deg) of SignalB (\emph{default:~0}).
+
+\item[\texttt{CC1} (real):] continuous component $c_1$ (in V) of SignalA (\emph{default:~0}).
+
+\item[\texttt{CC2} (real):] continuous component $c_2$ (in V) of SignalB (\emph{default:~0}).
+
+\item[\texttt{damping1} (real):] damping $\lambda_1$ of SignalA
+(\emph{default:~0 -- no damping}).
+
+\item[\texttt{damping2} (real):] damping $\lambda_2$ of SignalB
+(\emph{default:~0 -- no damping}).
+
+\item[\texttt{wave1}:] type of the SignalA chosen between \cs{SinusA}, \cs{RectangleA},
+\cs{TriangleA}, \cs{LDogToothA}, \cs{RDogToothA} (\emph{default: \cs{SinusA}}).
+
+\item[\texttt{wave2}:] type of the SignalB chosen between \cs{SinusB}, \cs{RectangleB},
+\cs{TriangleB}, \cs{LDogToothB}, \cs{RDogToothB} (\emph{default: \cs{SinusB}}).
+
+\item[\texttt{timediv} (real):] scale (in ms) of the time axis (\emph{default:~5}).
+
+\item[\texttt{Lissajous} (boolean):] switch to XY-mode (true) or not (false)
+(\emph{default: false}).
+
+\item[\texttt{sensivity1} (real):] scale (in V) of the channel A vertical axis
+(\emph{default:~1}).
+
+\item[\texttt{sensivity2} (real):] scale (in V) of the channel B vertical axis
+(\emph{default:~1}).
+
+\item[\texttt{plotstyle1}:] determines what kind of plot you will get for
+channel A (\emph{default: GreenContA}). Note that you can customize the plotstyle
+using the \cs{newpsstyle} macro (see below for examples).
+
+\item[\texttt{plotstyle2}:] determines what kind of plot you will get for
+channel B (\emph{default: BlueContB}). Same remark as above.
+
+\item[\texttt{plotstyle3}:] determines what kind of plot you will get for
+XY-mode (\emph{default: RedContLissajous}). Same remark as above.
+
+\item[\texttt{plotstyle4}:] determines what kind of plot you will get for
+add, sub or mul operation (third channel) (\emph{default: MagentaContAddSub}). Same
+remark as above.
+
+\item[\texttt{combine} (boolean):] if true allows to draw combination of SignalA
+and SignalB on channel C (namely addition, subtraction or multiplication)
+(\emph{default: false -- no signal}). See next item.
+
+\item[\texttt{operation}:] determines what kind of operation will be applied to
+SignalA and SignalB to get SignalC. The valid parameters are add, sub and mul
+(\emph{default: \cs{relax} -- no operation}).
+
+\item[\texttt{Fourier} (integer):] see below (Section \ref{Rectangular})
+(\emph{default:~100}).
+
+\item[\texttt{offset1} (real):] offset $c'_1$ (in V) of SignalA (\emph{default:~0}).
+
+\item[\texttt{offset2} (real):] offset $c'_2$ (in V) of SignalB (\emph{default:~0}).
+
+\item[\texttt{offset3} (real):] offset $c'_2$ (in V) of SignalC (\emph{default:~0}).
+
+
+\end{description}
+
+\subsection{Rectangular, triangular and dog's tooth signals\label{Rectangular}}
+
+The parameter \texttt{Fourier} controls the precision of the Fourier transform used to
+draw rectangular, triangular and dog's tooth signals. The number of terms is fixed to
+100 by default in order to minimize the computation time. But you can give
+\texttt{Fourier} any value you want.
+\par
+Note that those signals can also be damped using the \texttt{damping1} and
+\texttt{damping2} parameters. By default, there is no damping ($\lambda=1$).
+
+\subsection{\OsciPackage{} and \LaTeX}
+
+\OsciPackage{} defines colors that may interact with the \textbf{`color'} package.
+You should then use the \textbf{`pst-col'} package and load \OsciPackage{} this way:
+\begin{Verbatim}
+\usepackage{pstricks,pst-osci}
+\end{Verbatim}
+
+\subsection{Reducing the size of the Oscilloscope}
+
+The oscilloscope is put inside a 10\,cm square \texttt{pspicture} environment. There
+are two ways to reduce the size of the box, depending on the fonts you use.
+
+\subsubsection{Using PostScript fonts}
+
+We recommend that solution because it allows you to treat fonts like any other
+PostScript object. As a matter of fact, you can, for instance, put your \cs{Oscillo}
+macro inside a PSTricks \cs{psscalebox}. It is very simple and offers good results.
+However, pay attention to the fact that, if you are using non-PS fonts, the result
+will look ugly!
+
+\subsubsection{Using non-PostScript fonts}
+
+If you use non-PS fonts and if you want to reduce the size of the Oscilloscope, you
+should type something like:
+\begin{Verbatim}
+{\psset{unit=0.5}\footnotesize\Oscillo}
+\end{Verbatim}
+
+\section{Examples}
+
+\subsection{Basic examples}
+
+\subsubsection{The \cs{Oscillo} macro, default parameters}
+\begin{LTXexample}[pos=r,width=0.5\linewidth]
+\psscalebox{0.5}{\Oscillo}
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+
+
+\textbf{In order to minimize the size of the file, all the oscilloscopes are drawn
+scaled $\frac{1}{2}$. This reduced scale is not represented.}
+
+\makeatletter
+\let\Oldpst@Oscillo\pst@Oscillo
+\def\pst@Oscillo[#1]{\psscalebox{0.5}{\Oldpst@Oscillo[#1]}}
+\makeatother
+
+
+If you only want to see SignalA then set \texttt{offset2} in order to have
+$\texttt{offset2}\in ]-\infty,-4\times \texttt{sensivity2}[
+\cup]4\times\texttt{sensivity2},+\infty[$:
+
+\lstset{explpreset={pos=b,width=\linewidth,rframe=}}
+
+\subsubsection{SignalB invisible}
+\begin{LTXexample}[pos=r,width=0.5\linewidth]
+\psscalebox{0.5}{\Oscillo[offset2=5]}
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+
+\subsubsection{The importance of sensivity}
+Let's have a look at Channel A:

+\quad
+% Good sensivity choice
+\psscalebox{0.5}{\Oscillo[offset2=5,amplitude1=5,sensivity1=2]}
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+Now, let's have two signals on Channel A and B. By default, the two signals have the
+same period and the same phase:
+
+\begin{LTXexample}
+% Different amplitude
+\psscalebox{0.5}{\Oscillo[amplitude1=3,amplitude2=1.5]}
+\quad
+% Different period
+\psscalebox{0.5}{\Oscillo[amplitude1=3,amplitude2=1.5,period2=50]}

+\quad
+\psscalebox{0.5}{\Oscillo[amplitude1=2,phase1=90,amplitude2=3.8,period1=25,
+ period2=50,phase2=10,plotstyle1=GreenDash]}
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+\subsection{Channel C: operations}
+
+Note that \texttt{offset1} and \texttt{offset2} are \textbf{not} taken into account in
+the operations when the \texttt{combine} parameter is set to true.
+

-\maketitle
-\section {Présentation}
-J'ai trouvé ce package magnifique de puissance et de simplicité mais les couleurs employées ne passant pas à l'impression noir et blanc j'ai ajouté une option qui emploie des nuances de gris pour palier à ce problème.
-\section {Utilisation}
-\subsection {En préambule}
-\verb+\usepackage{pst-osci}+
-
-Remarque: \verb+\usepackage{pstcol}+ n'est pas utilisable.
-\subsection {Commande}
-\verb+\Oscillo[options éventuelles]+
-
-\subsection{Compilation}
-Sous MacOSX j'utilise \emph{altpdflatex} ce qui doit correspondre à \emph{latex+dvips+ps2pdf}.
-\subsection {Nouvelle option}
-\verb+AllColor+ qui par defaut est à \verb+true+ mais qui lorsqu'on la met à \verb+false+ permet d'obtenir des oscillogrammes qui passent mieux à l'impression.

-Je reprends les exemples du document \emph{pst-osci.pdf} de Manuel \textsc{Luque} et Christophe \textsc{Jorssen}\footnote{Les auteurs du package \emph{pst-osci}} pour m'assurer qu'ils fonctionnent tels quels puis en rajoutant \verb+AllColor=false+. La taille est réduite à 50 \% grâce à \verb+\psscalebox {0.5}{ }+.

-\section{Introduction}
-
-\OsciPackage{} offers a unique macro with few parameters to interact on it (it is
-the same approach as in Denis \textsc{Girou}'s \textbf{`pst-poly'} package).
-\par
-The syntax is simply: \fbox{\cs{Oscillo}\texttt{[optional\_parameters]}}.
-\par
-\textbf{As for a real oscilloscope, it is important to choose the correct sensivity
-for each channel in relation to the amplitude of the signal. If you did the wrong
-choice, you will get bad-looking curves.}
-\par
-The style of the curves can be customized using the standard PSTricks parameters.
-
-\section{Usage}
-
-\subsection{Parameters}
-
-There are thirty specific parameters defined to change the way the screen shots are
-drawn.
-\par
-Henceforth, the signals represented on channels A, B and C will be called `SignalA',
-`SignalB' and `SignalC'.
-\begin{description}

-\subsection{Rectangular, triangular and dog's tooth signals\label{Rectangular}}
-
-The parameter \HLTTc{Fourier} controls the precision of the Fourier transform used to
-draw rectangular, triangular and dog's tooth signals. The number of terms is fixed to
-100 by default in order to minimize the computation time. But you can give
-\HLTTc{Fourier} any value you want.
-\par
-Note that those signals can also be damped using the \HLTTc{damping1} and
-\HLTTc{damping2} parameters. By default, there is no damping ($\lambda=1$).
-
-\subsection{\OsciPackage{} and \LaTeX}
-
-\OsciPackage{} defines colors that may interact with the \textbf{`color'} package.
-You should then use the \textbf{`pst-col'} package and load \OsciPackage{} this way:
-\begin{Verbatim}
- \usepackage{pstcol,pst-osci}
-\end{Verbatim}
-
-\subsection{Reducing the size of the Oscilloscope}
-
-The oscilloscope is put inside a 10\,cm square \HLTTc{pspicture} environment. There
-are two ways to reduce the size of the box, depending on the fonts you use.
-
-\subsubsection{Using PostScript fonts}
-
-We recommend that solution because it allows you to treat fonts like any other
-PostScript object. As a matter of fact, you can, for instance, put your \cs{Oscillo}
-macro inside a PSTricks \cs{psscalebox}. It is very simple and offers good results.
-However, pay attention to the fact that, if you are using non-PS fonts, the result
-will look ugly!
-
-\subsubsection{Using non-PostScript fonts}
-
-If you use non-PS fonts and if you want to reduce the size of the Oscilloscope, you
-should type something like:
-\begin{Verbatim}
- {\psset{unit=0.5}\footnotesize\Oscillo}
-\end{Verbatim}
-
-\section{Examples}
-
-\subsection{Basic examples}
-

-\par
-If you only want to see SignalA then set \HLTTc{offset2} in order to have
-$\HLTTc{offset2}\in ]-\infty,-4\times \HLTTc{sensivity2}[ \cup
-]4\times\HLTTc{sensivity2},+\infty[$:
-
-\begin{SideBySideExample}[label=SignalB invisible, xrightmargin=5.5cm]
- \Oscillo[offset2=/HLCBWz(5)]
-\end{SideBySideExample}
-
-Let's have a look at Channel A:
-
-\begin{CenterExample}[label=The importance of sensivity]

- % Good sensivity choice
- \hfill
- \psscalebox{0.5}{\Oscillo[offset2=5,amplitude1=5,/HLCBWz(sensivity1)=2]}
-\end{CenterExample}
-
-Now, let's have two signals on Channel A and B. By default, the two signals have the
-same period and the same phase:
-
-\begin{CenterExample}

+## README for derivative package v1.31 dated 2023-11-04
The package provides a set of commands `\NewDerivative`, `\NewDifferential` etc. that can be used to define a derivative or a differential operator, respectively. The package have already defined several derivatives and differentials:
- `\odv` Ordinary derivative
- `\pdv` Partial derivative
- - `\fdv` Functional derivtive
+ - `\fdv` Functional derivative
- `\mdv` Material derivative
- `\adv` Average rate of change
- `\jdv` Jacobian
- `\odif` Shorthand for ordinary derivative
- `\pdif` Shorthand for partial derivative
- - `\fdif` Shorthand for functonal derivative
+ - `\fdif` Shorthand for functional derivative
- `\mdif` Shorthand for material derivative or general differential operator
- `\adif` Difference

+\section{Introduction}
+The \xpackage{quran} package provides several macros for
+typesetting the whole or any parts of the holy Quran based on its popular divisions. That package also develops
+commands for some translations of the holy Quran including German, Engilsh, and Persian.
+Some people asked me to include the other translations into the \xpackage{quran} package,
+but because of some technical issues I decided to create new packages for other translations.
+One of these variations is \xpackage{quran-en} including several English translations of the holy Quran
+provided by \url{tanzil.net}, i.e. \emph{``ahmedali''}, \emph{``ahmedraza''}, \emph{``arberry''}, \emph{``daryabadi''}, \emph{``hilali''}, \emph{``itani''}, \emph{``maududi''}, \emph{``mubarakpuri''}, \emph{``pickthall''}, \emph{``qarai''}, \emph{``qaribullah''}, \emph{``sahih''}, \emph{``sarwar''}, \emph{``shakir''}, \emph{``wahiduddin''}, and \emph{``yusufali''}.
+
+
+\section{Loading The Package}
+The package will be loaded in the ordinary way
+\cs{usepackage[option]\{quran-en\}}.
+After loading the package, it writes some information about itself to the
+terminal and to the log file, too. The information is something like:
+
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=BashInputStyle, language=tex, escapechar={|}]
+Package: quran-id |\quranendate| v|\quranenversion|
+English translation extension to the quran package.
+\end{lstlisting}
+\end{quote}
+
+
+\section{Options of The Package}\label{sec:qurantypesetting}
+There are several options by the names of \xoption{ahmedali}, \xoption{ahmedraza}, \xoption{arberry}, \xoption{daryabadi}, \xoption{hilali}, \xoption{itani}, \xoption{maududi}, \xoption{mubarakpuri}, \xoption{pickthall}, \xoption{qarai}, \xoption{qaribullah}, \xoption{sahih}, \xoption{sarwar}, \xoption{shakir}, \xoption{wahiduddin}, and \xoption{yusufali}.%
+%
+\foreach\x in {ahmedali,ahmedraza,arberry,daryabadi,hilali,itani,maududi,mubarakpuri,pickthall,qarai,qaribullah,sahih,sarwar,shakir,wahiduddin,yusufali,all}{%
+\marginpar{\xoption{\x}\smallskip}%
+}
+%
+If you pass any combinations of these options, you will be enabled to typeset these translations in a way
+that the \xpackage{quran} package does.
+There is also \xoption{all} option which loads all English translations provided by the \xpackage{quran-en} package.
+The package loads \xoption{ahmedali} option by default.
+
+This package is completely built on top of the \xpackage{quran} package, therefore you can pass every options
+defined in that package to the \xpackage{quran-en} package.
+
+\section{Differences between \xpackage{quran} and \xpackage{quran-en}}
+At first glance, \xpackage{quran-en} offers all functionalities of \xpackage{quran}. Therefore,
+both packages are the same in this manner except one difference. The \xpackage{quran-en} extends the \xpackage{quran}
+by adding 16 other English translations, namely `ahmedali', `ahmedraza', `arberry', `daryabadi', `hilali', `itani', `maududi', `mubarakpuri', `pickthall', `qarai', `qaribullah', `sahih', `sarwar', `shakir', `wahiduddin', and `yusufali'. All English translations
+provided by the package are shown in table~\ref{tab:idtrans}.
+
+\begin{table}[!htbp]
+\centering
+\begin{tabular}{|c|l|c|}
+ \toprule
+ order & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{translator} & option's name \\\midrule
+ 1 & Ahmed Ali & ahmedali \\
+ 2 & Ahmed Raza Khan & ahmedraza \\
+ 3 & A. J. Arberry & arberry \\
+ 4 & Abdul Majid Daryabadi & daryabadi \\
+ 5 & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali and Muhammad Muhsin Khan & hilali \\
+ 6 & Talal Itani & itani \\
+ 7 & Abul Ala Maududi & maududi \\
+ 8 & Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri & mubarakpuri \\
+ 9 & Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall & pickthall \\
+ 10 & Ali Quli Qarai & qarai \\
+ 11 & Hasan al-Fatih Qaribullah and Ahmad Darwish & qaribullah \\
+ 12 & Saheeh International & sahih \\
+ 13 & Muhammad Sarwar & sarwar \\
+ 14 & Mohammad Habib Shakir & shakir \\
+ 15 & Wahiduddin Khan & wahiduddin \\
+ 16 & Abdullah Yusuf Ali & yusufali \\
+ \bottomrule
+\end{tabular}
+ \caption{English translations used in the package and their option's names}
+ \label{tab:idtrans}
+\end{table}
+
+\subsection{How to Change the Current English Translation}
+ The \xpackage{quran-en} package uses ahmedali's translation by default.
+ The following macro could be used to change the default English translation.
+ \begin{declcs}{enSetTrans}\marg{index}
+ \end{declcs}
+ The \meta{index} could be an integer or a name; both ``order'' and ``option's name''
+ shown in Table~\ref{tab:idtrans} are appliable. Both \cs{enSetTrans\{2\}} and \cs{enSetTrans\{ahmedraza\}}, for example,
+ have the same effect.
+
+\subsection{How to Get the Name of Current Indonesian Translation}
+ \begin{declcs}{idGetTrans}
+ \end{declcs}
+ The above macro returns the name of current Indonesian translation, i.e. one of ``ahmedali'', ``ahmedraza'', ``arberry'', ``daryabadi'', ``hilali'', ``itani'', ``maududi'', ``mubarakpuri'', ``pickthall'', ``qarai'', ``qaribullah'', ``sahih'', ``sarwar'', ``shakir'', ``wahiduddin'', or ``yusufali''.
+
+
+\subsection{How to Typeset the Indonesian Translation}
+ It's completely similar to the \xpackage{quran} package.
+ All the following macros are usable.

+\qt@newcmd\qurantrans@en@mmmcclxxxv{%

By and by, they became so degraded that disgrace and humiliation, misery and wretchedness were stamped upon them and they incurred Allah's wrath.

+\qt@newcmd\qurantrans@en@lxxv{%
