Note that there are many ways to draw correct Karnaugh maps\footnote{E.g., a four-variable Karnaugh map can be drawn in 384 different and correct ways} and this packages creates only one version. There are more packages and examples that produce Karnaugh maps. A highly recommendable package is written by Andreas W. Wieland\footnote{See \url{http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/karnaugh}}. However, this package creates maps that are frequently found in dutch textbooks\footnote{E.g. Digitale Techniek, A.P. Thijssen} but not in American textbooks. \section{Overview} \label{sec:overview} After \cmdinvoke{usepackage}{askmaps}, four new commands are loaded to draw Karnaugh maps using the picture environment: \begin{table}[H] \begin{tabular}{p{2cm}p{10cm}} \cs{askmapii} & draws a two-variable Karnaugh map \\ \cs{askmapiii} & draws a three-variable Karnaugh map \\ \cs{askmapiv} & draws a four-variable Karnaugh map \\ \cs{askmapv} & draws a five-variable Karnaugh map \\ \end{tabular} \end{table} These commands have five parameters which have the same meaning for each commands. This will be explained in section \ref{sec:outline}. As can be seen later on, much of the parameters can include typesetting commands such as coloring and math notation. The new dimension \cs{askmapunitlength} is available and specifies the length of the squares. It defaults to 1 cm (about 0.4 in) which is a good value for 12 pt font size. The global definitions \cs{askmapsversion} and \cs{askmapsdate} will render to the current version and date respectively. The command \cs{askmap} provides drop-in replacement for the \cs{karnaughmap} command available in the \Package{kvdocs} package (although it is not really a package) and internally calls one of the four commands, but there are some drawbacks on using this command. \newpage \section{Outline} \label{sec:outline} All four functions take the form \cs{askmap\{\#1\}\{\#2\}\{\#3\}\{\#4\}\{\#5\}} where \texttt{} is one of \texttt{ii}, \texttt{iii}, \texttt{iv} or \texttt{v} and the parameters \texttt{\#1} to \texttt{\#5} have the following meaning: \begin{itemize} \itemsep0pt %\labelsep0pt \item[\texttt{\#1}] is the function output variable. \item[\texttt{\#2}] is a list of function input variables. \item[\texttt{\#3}] contains a list op options, see table below. \item[\texttt{\#4}] is a list of function values. \item[\texttt{\#5}] can be used to display user defined picture commands. \end{itemize} If a parameter contains fewer elements than needed, you will get empty spaces in the Karnaugh map. If a parameter contains more elements than needed, all elements in excess are not printed. In both situations, you will not be notified.\newline The third parameter contains a list of options as explained below. \begin{itemize} \itemsep0pt \item[\texttt{i}] index numbers are printed in the lower left corner of each square. \item[\texttt{I}] no index numbers are printed (default). \item[\texttt{f}] function output variable is printed at the upper right corner of the Karnaugh map together with a small line extending from the square to the function name (default). \item[\texttt{F}] no function output variable is printed. \item[\texttt{b}] bit combinations of the function input variables are printed on top of the columns and at the right of the the rows (default). \item[\texttt{B}] bit combinations are not printed. \item[\texttt{c}] shortcut for \texttt{ifb}. \item[\texttt{C}] shortcut for \texttt{IFB}. \end{itemize} Options are evaluated from left to right, so a combination of \texttt{iI} will yield in no index numbers being printed. Please note that macros are not expanded to a list of tokens but to one token.\newline If you look at American style Karnaugh maps, you will see that the function output variable usually isn't printed with the map, but is printed below the map (if it is printed at all). This behavior can be simulated by using the \texttt{F} option, in which case the first parameter (the function output variable) may be left unused. \section{Use} \label{sec:use} Let's say we have the following truth table for a function S with two variables a and b and the function values 1, 0, 1 and 1 respectively. \begin{table}[H] \centering \caption{Truth table} \begin{tabular}{cc|c} \hline a & b & S \\ \hline 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{table} Using the command \begin{verbatim} \askmapii{S}{ab}{i}{1011}{} \end{verbatim} will produce the two-variable Karnaugh map as presented in figure~\ref{fig:askmapii}. \begin{figure}[h] \centering \askmapunitlength=0.88cm \askmapii{S}{ab}{i}{1011}{}% \caption{Karnaughmap for two variables} \label{fig:askmapii} \end{figure} As you can see, the function output variable is printed top right of the Karnaugh map, with a small line from the variable to the top right square. The most significant function input variable is printed on the top left just above the small line extending from the top left square. The least significant function input variable is printed just below that line. The bit combinations for the most significant function input variable is printed on top of the columns, the bit combinations of the least significant function input variable is printed on the left of the rows. You can see how the function values are placed in the squares by observing the small index numbers in the lower left corners of the squares. \medskip The command \begin{verbatim} \askmapiii{S}{abc}{}{10110110}{} \end{verbatim} will produce a three-variable Karnaugh map as presented in figure~\ref{fig:askmapiii}. In this case, the index numbers are not printed. \begin{figure}[H] \centering \askmapunitlength=0.88cm \askmapiii{S}{abc}{}{10110110}{}% \caption{Karnaugh map for three variables} \label{fig:askmapiii} \end{figure} Let's draw a Karnaugh map for a logic function with four inputs and one output. The output will become logic 1 if three or four inputs are logic 1, otherwise the output is logic 0. (Of course you can set up a truth table first; this is left as an exercise to the reader). The command \begin{verbatim} \askmapiv{S}{abcd}{}{0000000100010111}{} \end{verbatim} will produce a four-variable Karnaugh map for the given logic function and is presented in figure~\ref{fig:askmapiv}. \begin{figure}[H] \centering \askmapunitlength=0.88cm \askmapiv{S}{abdc}{}{0000000100010111}{} \caption{Karnaugh map for four variables} \label{fig:askmapiv} \end{figure} Using the command \begin{verbatim} \askmapv{S}{abcde}{}{00101101010010111011110011101011}{} \end{verbatim} will produce a five-variable Karnaugh map as shown in figure \ref{fig:askmapv}. \begin{figure}[H] \centering \askmapunitlength=0.88cm \askmapv{S}{abcde}{}{00101101010010111011110011101011}{} \caption{Karnaugh map for five variables} \label{fig:askmapv} \end{figure} Of course you can do a lot more with the parameters of the commands. You can use inline math to produce sophisticated variable names, you can use coloring for the function values. However, please note that the second and fourth parameter act as a list of tokens, so you have to use braces to separate the tokens in the lists if they consists of multiple characters. A list of tokens such as \begin{verbatim} {abcd} \end{verbatim} will yield a, b, c and d as separate tokens, but \begin{verbatim} {$m_{0}$$m_{1}$$m_{0}$$m_{1}$} \end{verbatim} will not work. You have to write \begin{verbatim} {{$m_{0}$}{$m_{1}$}{$m_{0}$}{$m_{1}$}} \end{verbatim} The fifth parameter can be used to supply user created picture commands such as dashed rectangles of ovals to emphasize the simplifications in the function. Note that the origin of the picture (0,0) is at the lower left corner of the lower left square. Section \ref{sec:examples} shows some examples. \bigskip The size of the indexes is scriptsize, the size of the bit combinations on the edges of the Karnaugh maps is footnotesize. All other text is in normalsize. Note that there are no commands to change the font sizes in the Karnaugh diagrams. The command \cs{askmap} provides a drop-in replacement for the command \cs{karnaughmap} from the Karnaugh package. The command \begin{verbatim} \askmap{4}{F}{abcd}{0100101010100011}{} \end{verbatim} produces the Karnaugh map in figure \ref{fig:askmap}. \begin{figure}[H] \centering \askmapunitlength=0.88cm \askmap{4}{F}{abcd}{0100101010100011}{} \caption{Karnaugh map using drop-in replacement} \label{fig:askmap} \end{figure} Only Karnaugh maps of two to five variables are supported, any other number will trigger a warning. Please note that the \cs{kvindex}, \cs{kvindexsize} and \cs{kvcontentsize} commands are not supported. \medskip %% The next lines are commented out by default.

It uses a lot of picture primitives for drawing the maps. The package uses three macros for processing variable-length parameters, which were completely reused from the karnaugh package. \lstinputlisting{askmaps.sty} \end{document}
