This is pgf-PeriodicTable, version 2.1.0 (2024/02/14).

The purpose of this package is to provide the Periodic Table of Elements in
a simple way. It relies on pgf/TikZ to offer a full or partial periodic table with
a variety of options and displaying the desired data for all the 118
elements. It can be done in different languages: English, French, German,
Portuguese (from Portugal and from Brazil), Spanish, Italian and translations
by user contributions (currently Dutch).
____________________________________________________________

Just typeset \pgfPT to get a Periodic Table of Elements or \pgfPT[<options list>]
to do it at your custom way.
____________________________________________________________

** Requirements: TikZ and fontenc (pdfLaTeX) or fontspec (XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX) packages.
** Installation: unpack everything in a directory in the TeX search path and refresh the TeX database.
** Usage: just place \usepackage{pgf-PeriodicTable} in the preamble.
** Contact the author: Hugo Gomes (hugo.parelho@gmail.com)
