+% The package provides auxiliary styles helpful for drawing overlayed pictures in Beamer. These styles should be intended as extension of the previous work shown by user \href{http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/3751/daniel}{Daniel} of \href{http://tex.stackexchange.com}{TeX.SX} in \href{http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/55806/13304}{Mindmap tikzpicture in beamer (reveal step by step)}. 
+% \end{abstract}
+% \tableofcontents
+%\section{Introduction}
+% The aim of \aobstikz{} is to provide users simple tools to create overlayed-aware pictures for Beamer presentations. A set of new TikZ styles, grouped within a library, has been define on purpose.
+%
+% The library is proposed as extension of the previous work by user \href{http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/3751/daniel}{Daniel} on \href{www.tex-stackexchange.com}{TeX.SX}, illustrated in \href{http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/55806/13304}{Mindmap tikzpicture in beamer (reveal step by step)}. The very first version of the library has been implemented for answering the question \href{http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/84513/13304}{Highlighting in Beamer using TikZ nodes}: \aobstikz{} further extends and improves the original styles. 
+%
+% The main advantage of using the new styles is that they automatically prevent the so called \emph{jumping-effect} which occasionally happen with Beamer. 
+%
+% \section{The new styles}
+% The new styles can create overlays by altering the colors and the aspect of pictures' elements. 
+% Usually, to create an animation, the elements have to appear or disapper, the shading, the fill or the border color should change. To achieve this goal, three features have to be specified: the normal behavior, the modified behaviour and the moments in which the modified behaviour takes place. \aobstikz{} defines TikZ styles for these three features accordingly . For example, to alter the shape filling, it is possible to exploit:
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item \texttt{background default fill=<\textit{style}>}: the style used for default behaviour;
+% \item \texttt{background fill=<\textit{style}>}: the style used for the modified behaviour;
+% \item \texttt{fill on=<\textit{overlay specifications}>}: moments in which the modified behaviour is activated.
+% \end{itemize}
+% The new styles can alter the following TikZ properties:
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item \emph{fill};
+% \item \emph{draw};
+% \item \emph{filldraw};
+% \item \emph{text};
+% \item path aspect, including thickness, double line and pattern (solid, dashed, dotted, etc\ldots);
+% \item \emph{shade};
+% \item \emph{shadedraw}.
+% \end{itemize}
+% \DescribeMacro{draw}^^A
+% To alter the border color properties, the following options are available:
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item \texttt{background default draw=<\textit{style}>};
+% \item \texttt{background draw=<\textit{style}>};
+% \item \texttt{draw on=<\textit{overlay specifications}>}.
+% \end{itemize}
+% \DescribeMacro{filldraw}^^A
+% To alter the both filling and border color properties, the following options are available:
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item \texttt{background default filldraw=<\textit{\textcolor{orange}{border-col} filled by \textcolor{orange}{fill-col}}>};
+% \item \texttt{background filldraw=<\textit{\textcolor{orange}{border-col} filled by \textcolor{orange}{fill-col}}>};
+% \item \texttt{filldraw on=<\textit{overlay specifications}>}.
+% \end{itemize}
+% \DescribeMacro{text}^^A
+% To alter the \texttt{text} color properties, the following options are available:
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item \texttt{background default text=<\textit{style}>};
+% \item \texttt{background text=<\textit{style}>};
+% \item \texttt{text on=<\textit{overlay specifications}>}.
+% \end{itemize}
+% \DescribeMacro{path aspect}^^A
+% To alter the path aspect, the following options are available:
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item \texttt{background default aspect=<\textit{style}>};
+% \item \texttt{background aspect=<\textit{style}>};
+% \item \texttt{aspect on=<\textit{overlay specifications}>}.
+% \end{itemize}
+% \DescribeMacro{shade}^^A
+% To alter the shading properties, the following options are available:
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item \texttt{background default shade=<\textit{style}>};
+% \item \texttt{background shade=<\textit{style}>};
+% \item \texttt{shade on=<\textit{overlay specifications}>}.

+% \subsection{TikZ Library}
+% The core of the package is the TikZ library \texttt{overlay-beamer-styles}. The first style defined is \texttt{visible on} based on prior work by user \href{http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/3751/daniel}{Daniel} of \href{http://tex.stackexchange.com}{TeX.SX} in \href{http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/55806/13304}{Mindmap tikzpicture in beamer (reveal step by step)}. The original style has been enforced to make it working also in presence of opaque text.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\tikzset{
+    invisible/.style={opacity=0,text opacity=0},
+    visible on/.style={alt=#1{}{invisible}},
+    alt/.code args={<#1>#2#3}{%
+      \alt<#1>{\pgfkeysalso{#2}}{\pgfkeysalso{#3}} 
+    },
+}
+
+\tikzset{
+  background text/.style={text=#1},
+  background text/.default={black},
+  background default text/.style={
+    background text/.default={#1},
+  },
+  text on/.style={alt=#1{}{background text}},
+}
+
+\tikzset{
+  background fill/.style={fill=#1},
+  background fill/.default={white},
+  background default fill/.style={
+    background fill/.default={#1},
+  },
+  fill on/.style={alt=#1{}{background fill}},
+}
+
+\tikzset{
+  background draw/.style={draw=#1},
+  background draw/.default={white},
+  background default draw/.style={
+    background draw/.default={#1},
+  },
+  draw on/.style={alt=#1{}{background draw}}
+}
+
+\tikzset{
+  background filldraw/.style args={#1 filled by #2}{draw=#1, fill=#2},
+  background filldraw/.default=white filled by white,
+  background default filldraw/.style={
+    background filldraw/.default={#1},
+  },
+  filldraw on/.style={alt=#1{}{background filldraw}},
+}
+
+\tikzset{
+  background aspect/.style={#1},
+  background aspect/.default={white},
+  background default aspect/.style={
+    background aspect/.default={#1},
+  },
+  aspect on/.style={alt=#1{}{background aspect}},
+}
+
+\tikzset{
+  background shade/.style={#1},
+  background shade/.default={top color=white, bottom color=white},

+  shadedraw on/.style={alt=#1{}{background shadedraw}},
+}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% At this point, some comments are needed on the subsequent option \texttt{double disabled}. For the best of my knowledge, this is option is not implemented in PGF 2.10 either in PGF 3.0.0, but it is absolutely relevant to the scope of this library. Suppose you wish to alter a double path by removing in some moments its double property: without the following option, it would not be possible (at least without redrawing the path).

+% subsequent overlays

+\tikzset{visibility 1/.style={
+      background draw=red, draw on=<{1,4}>,

+%    \end{macrocode}
+% The following high-level style shows that the new styles can be combined to obtained more fine results. Specifically, rather than using a \textit{shadedraw} modification, the \texttt{visibility 4} style exploits separately \textit{shade} and \textit{draw} modifications to having them visible in different overlays.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
