# euflag This is the README.md file for the euflag LaTeX package v0.4 (2019-02-02) ##Summary %% This package implements a single command \euflag which reproduces the official flag of the European Union using just the built-in picture environment, with the _xcolor_ and _graphicx_ packages and the _amssymb_ font. %% The flag is reproduced at 1em high based on the current font size, so it can be scaled arbitrarily by changing the font size (see examples in ). %% \begingroup\centering\fontsize{230}{0}\selectfont\euflag\par\endgroup ##Normal installation If this package is distributed from CTAN, it should be in a zip file which allows it to be installed automatically by the TeX Live update manager _tlmgr_ and similar automated installers. If you are using automated package installation, no further action is required. ##TDS installation This package is also available as a `.tds.zip` file. TDS is the TeX Directory Structure, the standard layout for a modern TeX installation. This enables the package to be unzipped directly into your Personal TeX Directory (see below for what this is and how to create one on your system). * Install it on any TDS-compliant personal system (laptop, desktop, workstation, table, smartphone, PDA, etc) by unzipping it straight into your Personal TeX Directory (folder). This will put all the files into the right places, so you can start using them immediately. * If you haven't yet created a personal TeX directory, see below for details of what one is, and how to create it. * On a shared (multiuser) system like a server, unzip it into the $TEXMFLOCAL directory instead (see below), and run your TeX directory-indexing program (eg _texhash__mktexlsr_, etc) so that everyone can use it. * If you are using an old non-TDS-compliant system, see below under Manual Installation. ###Your Personal TeX Directory This is a directory (folder) on single-user systems where you should put all your local manual modifications (updates, and additions such as new or updated classes, packages, and fonts) that are _not_ handled automatically by the TeX Live update manager (_tlmgr_). The name and location are fixed:
Apple Mac OS X
`~/Library/texmf`
Unix and GNU/Linux
`~/texmf`
MS-Windows 95/XP
`C:\texmf`
MS-Windows 2007 and above
`Computer\System\YOURNAME\texmf`
Create that folder now if it does not already exist. Put (or unzip) all additions to your system that are not handled by _tlmgr_ into this directory, following _exactly_ the subdirectory structure that is used in your main TeX distribution (unzipping a TDS file does this for you). This is what enables LaTeX to find stuff automatically. > #### If you are a Windows user running _MiKTeX_ #### > When you create the folder, you must add it to _MiKTeX_'s list of supported folders. Run the _MiKTeX Maintenance/Settings_ program, select the `Roots` tab, and add the folder. You only have to do this once. > > Each time you add or remove software in your personal TeX folder, you _must_ also click on the `Update FNDB` button in the `General` tab. > Unix (Mac and GNU/Linux) users do not need to (indeed, should not) run their filename database indexer (_mktexlsr_ or _texhash_) for files put in your personal TeX directory. ##Installation on shared systems On multi-user systems (Unix-based), identify the shared local directory tree with the command kpsewhich -expand-var '$TEXMFLOCAL' This will give you the location of the shared `texmf` directory into which you must install these files. Do not forget to run the _texhash_ or _mktexlsr_ (filename indexer) program after installation, otherwise the files will not be found by LaTeX and nothing will work! ##Manual installation (non-TDS systems) To install this software manually, unzip the zip file into a temporary directory and move the class and/or package file[s] from the `tex/latex/euflag` directory to a location (directory/folder) where LaTeX will find it on your system. This is referred to in some documentation as “the TEXINPUTS directory”, although it may be called something else on your system. _It is your responsibility to know where this location is._ See the question in the TeX FAQ at http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=inst-wlcf for more information. If you do not know, or cannot find it, or do not have access to it, your TeX system may be out of date and need replacing. ##Last resort In an emergency, or as a last resort on unmanageable systems, it is possible simply to put the class and/or package file[s] into your current working directory (the same folder as your `.tex` file[s]). While this may work, it is not supported, and may lead to other resources (packages, fonts, images etc) not being found. ##Usage Make this the first line of your LaTeX document: \usepackage[options]{} (or other class or package if more than one is supplied). Read the documentation for the options available. The documentation is distributed as a PDF document in the zip file. You can also regenerate it by typesetting the `euflag.dtx` file with `xelatex` (and `biber` and _makeindex_) in the normal way. ##Bugs and TODO No outstanding reported bugs at the time of this version. ##Copyright The following statement is included in the source code: Transformed from euflag.xml by ClassPack db2dtx.xsl version 1.10 (2019-01-22) on Sunday 3 February 2019 at 21:19:20 euflag.sty is copyright © 2019 by Peter Flynn This work may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3 of this license or (at your option) any later version.
