-BXeepic Package
-===============
-
-LaTeX: Reimplementation of epic/eepic features using pict2e engine
-
-The eepic package (authored by Conrad Kwok) is one of packages to
-provide small-size extention to the picture environment of LaTeX
-(and epic package) and employs the tpic drawing feature of DVI-wares.
-Back in 1990--2000 the use of epic + eepic was widespread because
-many of the legacy DVI-wares (dvips, dvipdfmx, etc.) support tpic
-(and thus eepic extension). But pdfTeX engine has never supported
-tpic. As consequence, the use of epic + eepic was gradually replaced
-by pict2e as pdfTeX became more popular.
-
-In most cases drawings using epic + eepic are easily converted to
-pict2e ones, but there are features that eepic supports but pict2e
-does not --- e.g. ellipsis, dashed line. The present package provides
-almost full features of epic + eepic implemented on pict2e engines.
-Thus one can make epic + eepic drawings work on pdfTeX; moreover,
-one can use eepic and pict2e in the same document.
-
-### Installation
-
- - `*.sty`, `*.def` → $TEXMF/tex/latex/bxeepic
-
-### Usage
-
-Load this package after loading pict2e.
-
- \usepackage[<pict2e options>]{pict2e}
- \usepackage{bxeepic}
-
-If pict2e is not yet loaded in loading bxeepic then it is loaded
-automatically, and in this case every option given to bxeepic will
-be passed to pict2e.
-
- \usepackage[<pict2e options>]{bxeepic}
-
-This package provides all commands of epic and eepic packages, except
-the following:
-
- - Shading: `\blacken`, `\whiten`, `\shade`, `\texture`, `\filltype`
- - Dashed line with dotted dashes: the second optional argument of
- `\dashline` is ignored.
- - Dotted line with user-defined dots: the optional argument of
- `\dottedline` is ignored.
-
-### Notice
-
- - When behavior of a command differs btween eepic and epic, then
- that of eepic is adopted.
- - When behavior of a command differs btween pict2e and eepic, then
- that of pict2e is adopted.
- - However, `\arc` command can be used either in pict2e or eepic
- syntax; when it looks like `\arc{...}{...}{...}` then eepic syntax
- is assumed.
- - When bxeepic is loaded, both epic and eepic packages are marked
- as ‘already-loaded’; so one can load bxeepic earlily and then
- the packages that rely on epic and eepic will work happily.
