-This is a modified version of the manual for the \sty{flowfram}
-package. It is intended to illustrated what can be done. See the
-full manual (ffuserguide.pdf) for
-a comprehensive description, as this may now be out of date. The commands used to define the frames for
-this document are shown in Figure~\ref{fig:thisdoc}.
-If the columns are very narrow, it may be better to
-use \cmdname{raggedright}, otherwise \TeX\ may have a
-problem working out the line breaks.
-
-\section{Introduction}
-
-The \sty{flowfram} package is designed to enable you to create
-frames in a document such that the
-contents of the \env{document} environment flow from one
-frame to the next in the order that they were defined.
-This is useful for creating posters
-or magazines or any other form of document that does not
-conform to the standard one or two column layout.
-
-\section{Setting up Frames}
-
-The \sty{flowfram} package provides three types of frame:
-{flow frames}, {static
-frames} and {dynamic frames}.
-
-\subsection{Flow Frames}
-
-The flow frame is the principle type of frame.
-The text of the \env{document} environment will flow from
-one frame to the next in order of definition. Each
-flow frame has an associated width, height,
-position on the page, and optionally a border.
-
-It is recommended that all the flow frames in a document
-have the same width, otherwise problems may occur
-when a paragraph spans to flow frames of unequal
-widths. This is because \TeX's output routine does not
-register the change in \cmdname{hsize} until it reaches
-a paragraph break. If it is absolutely necessary for
-flow frames to have unequal widths, judicious use of
-\cmdname{framebreak} is required.
-
-\subsection{Static Frames}
-
-A static frame is a rectangular area in which text neither
-flows into, nor flows out of. The contents must be set
-explicitly, and once set, the contents of the static frame will
-remain the same on each page until it is explicitly
-changed. Thus, a static frame can be used, for example, to make
-a company logo appear in the same place on every page.
-
-\subsection{Dynamic Frames}
-
-A dynamic frame is similar to a static frame, but its contents
-are re-typeset on each page. (A static frame stores its
-contents in a savebox, whereas a dynamic frame stores its
-contents in a macro).
-
-\section{Frame Attributes}
-\label{sec:modattr}
-
-Once you have defined the {flow frames}, {static frames} and
-{dynamic frames}, their attributes can be changed.
-The three types of frame mostly have the
-same set of attributes, but some are specific to a certain type.
-The available attributes are as follows
-(\textsuperscript{\textbf{F}} indicates the key is
-only available for {flow frames},
-\textsuperscript{\textbf{S}} indicates the key is only available
-for {static frames}
-and \textsuperscript{\textbf{D}} indicates the key
-is only available for {dynamic frames}):
-
-\begin{description}
-\item[width=\meta{length}] The width of the frame.
-
-\item[height=\meta{length}] The height of the frame.
-
-\item[x=\meta{length}] The x-coordinate of the frame.
-
-\item[y=\meta{length}] The y-coordinate of the frame.
-
-\item[border=\meta{style}] The style of the border around the
-frame, this can take the values: \texttt{none} (no border),
-\texttt{plain} (plain border) or the name of a \LaTeX\
-frame making command without the preceding backslash.
-The value \texttt{fbox} is equivalent to \texttt{plain}.
-
-\item[offset=\meta{offset}] The border offset, if it is a
-user-defined border. This is the distance from the outer
-edge of the left hand border to the left edge of the
-bounding box of the text inside the border. The \sty{flowfram}
-package is able to compute the border for
-known frame making commands.
-If you define your own frame making command, you may need to
-specify the offset explicitly, or the frames
-may end up shifted to the right or left.
-
-\item[bordercolor=\meta{colour}] The colour of the border
-if you are using a standard frame making command.
-The colour can either be specified as, e.g.\ \texttt{green},
-or including the colour model, e.g. \verb/[rgb]{0,1,0}/.
-
-\item[textcolor=\meta{colour}] The text colour for that
-frame. Again, the colour can either be specified as,
-e.g.\ \texttt{green}, or including the colour model,
-e.g. \verb/[rgb]{0,1,0}/.
-
-\item[pages=\meta{page list}] The {list of
-pages} for which the frame
-should appear. This can either have the values: \texttt{all},
-\texttt{even}, \texttt{odd} or \texttt{none} (the latter
-removes the frame from that point on---useful if you
-have multiple pages with the same number), or it can be a
-comma-separated list of single pages, or
-{page ranges}.
-
-\item[margin=\meta{side}\textsuperscript{F}] The side of
-the flow frame that its corresponding margin should go on. This
-can take the values \texttt{left} or \texttt{right}.
-
-\item[clear=\meta{boolean}\textsuperscript{S}] If this value
-is set, the static frame will be cleared at the start of the
-next page.
-
-\item[style=\meta{cmd}\textsuperscript{D}] This should be
-the name of a command \emph{without} the preceding backslash,
-to be applied to the contents of the specified dynamic frame.
-The command may either be a declaration, for example \verb/style=large/
-which will set the contents of all the dynamic frames in a
-large font, or it can be a command that takes a single argument,
-for example \verb/style=textbf/
-which will make the text for all the dynamic frames come out in
-bold. To unset a style, do \verb/style=none/.
-
-\end{description}
-
-\section{Miscellaneous}
-
-\subsection{Page Layout}
-
-The \sty{flowfram} package has the package option \texttt{draft}
-which will draw the {bounding boxes} for
-each frame defined. At the bottom right of each
-bounding box (except for the bounding box denoting the
-typeblock), a marker will be shown to indictate the type
-of frame, its IDN and its IDL.
-
-You can see the layout for the current page (irrespective of
-whether or not the \texttt{draft} option has been set) using
-the command:\newline
-\cmdname{flowframeshowlayout}
-
-The headers and footers will appear as usual (but will not
-be shown in draft mode), according to the format given by
-\cmdname{pagestyle}.
-
-\subsection{Frame Stacking Order}
-
-The material on each page is placed in the following order:
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item Each static frame defined for that page in ascending
-order of IDN.
-
-\item Each flow frame defined for that page in ascending
-order of IDN.
-
-\item Each dynamic frame defined for that page in ascending
-order of IDN.
-
-\item {Bounding boxes} if the \texttt{draft}
-package option has been used.
-\end{enumerate}
-
-This ordering can be used to determine if you want something
-to overlay or underlay everything else on the page.
-
-\subsection{Prematurely Ending a Flow Frame}
-
-You can force text to move immediately to the next defined
-flow frame using one of the standard \LaTeX\ page breaking commands
-which work in an analogous way to the way they
-work in standard two column mode.
-
-The command \cmdname{framebreak} is provided for situations
-where a paragraph spans two flow frames
-of different widths, as \TeX's output routine does not
-adjust to the new value of \cmdname{hsize} until the last
-paragraph of the previous frame has ended. As a
-result, the end of the paragraph at the beginning of the new
-flow frame retains the width of the previous flow frame.
-
-If you want to start a new page, rather than simply move to the
-next frame, use the command\newline
-\cmdname{finishthispage}.
-
-\subsection{Floats}
-
-Since floats (such as figures and tables) can only go in
-{flow frames}, this package provides
-the additional environments:
-\env{staticfigure} and
-\env{statictable} which can be used in static frames
-and dynamic frames. Unlike their \env{figure} and
-\env{table} counterparts, they are fixed in place, and
-so do not take an optional placement specifier. The
-\cmdname{caption} and \cmdname{label} commands can
-be used within \env{staticfigure} and \env{statictable} as
-usual.
-
-The standard \env{figure} and \env{table} commands will
-behave as usual in the flow frames, but their starred versions,
-\env{figure*} and \env{table*} behave no differently
-from \env{figure} and \env{table}.
-
-\subsection{Global Values}
-
-The following macros can be changed using \cmdname{renewcommand}:
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item \cmdname{setffdraftcolor}
-
-This sets the colour of the bounding box
-when it is displayed in draft mode.
-
-\item
-\cmdname{setffdrafttypeblockcolor}
-
-This sets the colour of
-the bounding box of the typeblock when it is displayed
-in draft mode.
-
-\item \cmdname{fflabelfont}
-
-This sets the font size for the bounding box markers in
-draft mode.
-
-\end{itemize}
-
-The following are lengths, which can be changed using
-\cmdname{setlength}:
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item \cmdname{fflabelsep}
-
-This is the distance from the right hand side of the
-bounding box at which to place the bounding box marker.
-
-\item \cmdname{flowframesep}
-
-This is the gap between the text of the frame and
-its border, for the standard border types.
-
-\item \cmdname{flowframerule}
-
-This is the width of the frame's border, if using
-a border given by a frame making command that uses \cmdname{fboxsep}
-to set its border width.
-
-\item \cmdname{columnsep}
-
-This is the horizontal distance between flow frames when using one of the
-\cmdname{Ncolumn} type of commands
-
-\item \cmdname{vcolumnsep}
-
-This is the vertical distance between the flow frames and the static or
-dynamic frame when using one of the \cmdname{Ncolumntop} type of commands.
-\end{itemize}
