It also contains commands for shadow, double and oval frames. -\end{quote} - -\tableofcontents - -\section{Fancy frames} - -"fancybox.sty" has five variants of \LaTeX's "\fbox" command: -\begin{quote}\raggedright -"\shadowbox", "\doublebox", "\ovalbox" (with "\thinlines") and "\Ovalbox" -(with "\thicklines"). -\end{quote} -Here are examples:\footnote{In this documentation, the default value of -"\fboxsep" has been changed from 3pt to 6pt.} -\begin{example} - \shadowbox{\large\bf New Glarus Birdwatch} -\end{example} -\begin{example} - \doublebox{\large\bf New Glarus Birdwatch} -\end{example} -\begin{example} - \ovalbox{\large\bf New Glarus Birdwatch} -\end{example} -\begin{example} - \Ovalbox{\large\bf New Glarus Birdwatch} -\end{example} - -The distance between the box and the frame is "\fboxsep", as with \LaTeX's -"\fbox" command. The commands use other parameters as well: -\begin{description} -\vitem"\shadowbox" The width of the frame is "\fboxrule" (the same as with -"\fbox"). The width of the shadow is "\shadowsize" (default: "4pt"). - -\vitem"\doublebox" The width of the inner frame is .75"\fboxrule", and the -width of the outer frame is 1.5"\fboxrule". The distance between the two -frames is 1.5"\fboxrule" plus .5pt. - -\vitem"\ovalbox" The width of the frame is set by the "\thinlines" -declaration. The diameter of the corner arcs is set with the "\cornersize" -command. -\begin{LVerbatim} - \cornersize{<num>} -\end{LVerbatim} -sets the diameter of the corners arcs to <num> times the lessor of the width -and height of the box. -\begin{LVerbatim} - \cornersize*{<dim>} -\end{LVerbatim} -sets the diameter of the corner arcs to <dim>. This is all approximate, -because \LaTeX\ has a limited range of arc sizes to choose from. The default -is -\begin{LVerbatim} - \cornersize{.5} -\end{LVerbatim} - -\vitem"\Ovalbox" This is like "\ovalbox", except that the width of the lines -is set by the "\thicklines" declaration. -\end{description} - -There are no analogs to \LaTeX's "\framebox" command, which has various -optional arguments not supported by "\fbox". You can get the exact same -functionality by putting the argument of the above framing commands in a -"\makebox". - -There is also a variant "\fancyoval" of \LaTeX's "\oval" picture object. The -difference is that "\oval" always makes the diameter of the corner arcs as -large as possible, and "\fancyoval" uses the "\cornersize" command to set the -diameter. - -\section{A short course on boxes} - -\begingroup\sloppy -The "\shadowbox", "\doublebox", "\ovalbox" and "\Ovalbox" commands described -in the previous section are examples of LR-box commands, meaning that their -argument is processed in LR mode. \LaTeX\ LR-box commands include "\mbox", -"\makebox", "\fbox", "\framebox", "\sbox" and "\savebox". All the PSTricks -commands whose argument is text are LR-box commands, including, e.g, the -framing, rotating, scaling and positioning commands, and some of the node -commands. Any rotation command is an LR-box command. - -\endgroup - -The purpose of the rest of this documentation is to provide answers to, and -solutions for, frequently asked questions about using LR-box commands with -\LaTeX. I will use "\fbox" for the leading example of a box framing -command,\footnote{In the examples using "\fbox", be aware that the default -value of "\fboxsep" has been changed in this documentation from 3pt to 6pt.} -and "\rotateleft" for the leading example of a box rotation command. -("fancybox.sty" does not contain a "\rotateleft" command, as this must be -implemented via "\special"'s, but there are numerous box-rotation style files -around.) However, most of what is said here applies to any LR-box command. - -In each LR-box command, the text is processed in restricted horizontal mode, -which is referred to as ``LR-mode'' in Lamport's {\em \LaTeX: User's Guide and -Reference Manual}. In restricted horizontal mode, the input, consisting of -regular characters and boxes, is made into one (long or short) line. There is -no line-breaking, nor can there be vertical mode material such as an entire -displayed equation. However, the fact that you can include another box means -that this isn't really a restriction. - -For one thing, alignment environments such as \LaTeX's "tabular" are just -boxes, and thus present no problem. Picture environments and the LR-box -commands themselves are also just boxes. Entire paragraphs or other vertical -mode material such as displayed equations can be nested in a "\parbox" or -"minipage". - -\section{Defining LR-box environments} - -To frame a "minipage", you have to write -\begin{LVerbatim} - \fbox{% - \begin{minipage}{3in} - blah - \end{minipage}} -\end{LVerbatim} -You might want to define an environment "fminipage" that frames its contents, -but you can't use -\begin{LVerbatim} - \newenvironment{fminipage}% - {\fbox{\begin{minipage}}% - {\end{minipage}}} -\end{LVerbatim} -because the braces are not balanced in the definition. - -"fancybox.sty" contains an "Sbox" environment that makes it easy to define -your own LR-box environments. It is a variant of \LaTeX's "\sbox" command that -saves the contents of the environment in a storage bin that can be retrieved -with the command "\TheSbox".\footnote{The difference between -\begin{LVerbatim} - \begin{Sbox} - blah - \end{Sbox} - \TheSbox -\end{LVerbatim} -and -\begin{LVerbatim} - \newsavebox{\mybox} - \sbox{\mybox}{blah} - \usebox{\mybox} -\end{LVerbatim} -is that "Sbox" saves the contents globally, and "\TheSbox" erases the contents -globally.} -For example, here is a framed minipage: -\begin{LVerbatim} - \begin{Sbox} - \begin{minipage}{3in} - blah - \end{minipage} - \end{Sbox} - \fbox{\TheSbox} -\end{LVerbatim} -and here is an "fminipage" environment that works: -\begin{example**} - \newenvironment{fminipage}% - {\begin{Sbox}\begin{minipage}}% - {\end{minipage}\end{Sbox}\fbox{\TheSbox}} -\end{example**} -Let's see that it really works: -\begin{example} - \begin{fminipage}{2in} - Since the former doesn't use braces to delimit - the contents of the box, $\ldots$ - \end{fminipage} -\end{example} - - -\section{Math} - -In-line math, or pieces of a displayed equation (as opposed to a whole -equation), are horizontal mode material, but most LR-box commands switch out -of math mode when they occur in math mode. Thus, you have to explicitly switch -back in to math mode when desired.\footnote{This is {\em not} true for the -PSTricks LR-box commands.} -For example: -\begin{example} - $x + y = \fbox{$\Omega$}$ -\end{example} - -You also have to explicitly write -\begin{quote} - "\scriptstyle", "\scriptscriptstyle" or "\displaystyle" -\end{quote} -if you want one of these special math styles. For example, here I will frame -an equation, but not the equation number: -\begin{example*} - \begin{equation} - \fbox{$\displaystyle - \int_{\Omega_0} \zeta(\omega) d\omega - \geq \bar{r}$} - \end{equation} -\end{example*} - -Entire displayed equations or "eqnarray" environments work differently because -they are vertical mode material. Thus, they have to go inside a "\parbox" or -"minipage". E.g., -\begin{example*} - \newlength{\mylength} - \[ - \setlength{\fboxsep}{15pt} - \setlength{\mylength}{\linewidth} - \addtolength{\mylength}{-2\fboxsep} - \addtolength{\mylength}{-2\fboxrule} - \fbox{% - \parbox{\mylength}{ - \setlength{\abovedisplayskip}{0pt} - \setlength{\belowdisplayskip}{0pt} - \begin{equation} - x + y = z - \end{equation}}} - \] -\end{example*} -The outer "\[" "\]" are just used to display the boxed equation, rather than -actually switch into math mode. Note how I set the width of the "\parbox" so -that the displayed box would exactly have width "\linewidth".\footnote{That is -what "\mylength" is for. It is better to define a single scratch length that -you reuse rather than creating a new one each time.} - - I also set the display skips to "0pt" and increased the size of "\fboxsep" so -that I would have the same distance all around between the equation and the -frame. - -This is again a mouthful, and so I might instead define:\footnote{The reason -for using "\minipage" instead of "\begin{minipage}", and so on, is that with -AmS-\LaTeX, "\begin" and "\end" cannot appear in the definition of a new -equation environment.} -\begin{example**} - \newenvironment{FramedEqn}% - {\setlength{\fboxsep}{15pt} - \setlength{\mylength}{\linewidth}% - \addtolength{\mylength}{-2\fboxsep}% - \addtolength{\mylength}{-2\fboxrule}% - \Sbox - \minipage{\mylength}% - \setlength{\abovedisplayskip}{0pt}% - \setlength{\belowdisplayskip}{0pt}% - \equation}% - {\endequation\endminipage\endSbox - \[\fbox{\TheSbox}\]} -\end{example**} -"fancybox.sty" doesn't bother defining any such environments, because there -are too many possible designs. But let's see if the one above works: -\begin{example*} - \begin{FramedEqn} - \Rightarrow P\sim\xi(P_\gamma)- \frac{1}{3} - \end{FramedEqn} -\end{example*} - -"fancybox.sty" contains a "Beqnarray" environment, which is like the -"eqnarray" environment but it is not vertical mode material. Instead, it -produces a box just large enough to hold all the equations. For example: -\begin{example} - \fbox{% - \begin{Beqnarray*} - x & = & y\\ - y & > & x \\ - \int_4^5 f(x)dx & = & \sum_{i\in F} x_i - \end{Beqnarray*}} -\end{example} -The unstarred version produces standard equation numbers on the right (even -with the "leqno" style option and AmS-\LaTeX). It might not work with special -equation numbering macros. - - -\section{Floats}\label{floats} - -A common mistake is to put a whole "table", "figure" or other float -environment inside an LR-box command. Instead, you should put everything that -is {\em inside} the environment (including the "\caption", if you want that -boxed too) inside a "minipage" of the desired width, and then put the -"minipage" inside the LR-box command. - -For example: -\begin{example*} - \begin{table}[h] - \begin{center} - \fbox{% - \begin{minipage}{.8\textwidth} - \begin{center} - \begin{tabular}{rl} - foo & bar - \end{tabular} - \end{center} - \caption{A table of foo and bar.} - \end{minipage}} - \end{center} - \end{table} -\end{example*} -Note how I had to use "center" twice: once to center the framed box, and again -to center the stuff inside the box. - -That is a mouthful, and so I might define a "FramedTable" environment like the -following, which sets the size of the "minipage" so that the framed box is -exactly the width of the page (no need for the first "center" environment this -time): -\begin{example**} - \newenvironment{FramedTable}% - {\begin{table}[h] - \begin{Sbox}% - \setlength{\mylength}{\textwidth}% - \addtolength{\mylength}{-2\fboxsep}% - \addtolength{\mylength}{-2\fboxrule}% - \begin{minipage}{\mylength}}% - {\end{minipage}\end{Sbox}\fbox{\TheSbox}\end{table}}% -\end{example**} -Now let's see if it works: -\begin{example*} - \begin{FramedTable} - \begin{center} - \begin{tabular}{rl} - foo & bar - \end{tabular} - \end{center} - \caption{A table of foo and bar.} - \end{FramedTable} -\end{example*} - -The most common reason to want to rotate an entire float, caption and all, is -to put it on a page by itself in landscape mode, centered both horizontally -and vertically. Compared to the table framing we did above, we just have to -replace "\fbox" by our box rotation command (e.g., "\rotateleft" or whatever), -set the width of the minipage to "\textheight" (if you want to use the full -size of the page), and use the float position specifier "[p]". "fancybox.sty" -contains an environment, -\begin{LVerbatim} - \begin{landfloat}{<float>}{<rotation command>} - ... - \end{landfloat} -\end{LVerbatim} -that automates this. It has two arguments: the name of the floating -environment, and your rotation command. For example, if "\rotateleft{foo}" -rotates "foo" by 90 degrees, and you want a landscape mode "table", then try -\begin{LVerbatim} - \begin{landfloat}{table}{\rotateleft} - ... - \end{landfloat} -\end{LVerbatim} -If the whole document is in landscape mode, then "landfloat" gives you a -portrait-mode float---good for a table that is too tall to fit in landscape -mode. - -If you don't add a caption to a float, it doesn't matter much what floating -environment you use (e.g., "table", "figure" or whatever). Thus, you can put -anything in a landscape float. For example, suppose I have a very wide -equation. Then I can write: -\begin{LVerbatim} - \begin{landfloat}{table}{\rotateleft} - \begin{equation} - ... - \end{equation} - \end{landfloat} -\end{LVerbatim} -"fancybox.sty" defines a generic caption, "\GenericCaption", that doesn't -affect the numbering of floats, doesn't make an entry in a list of floats, and -doesn't add anything to the argument you give. I could have used this if I -wanted to add a caption to the previous example. - -\section{Center, flushleft and flushright} - -There are two ways to box a "center", "flushleft" or "flushright" environment. -If you have long lines and you want \TeX\ to do the line breaking, then put -the environment inside a "minipage".\footnote{List and other such environments -work best inside a "minipage" environment rather than a "\parbox".} If you -have short lines and you want the frame to adjust itself to the size of the -longest line, then use "fancybox.sty"'s -\begin{quote} - "Bcenter", "Bflushleft" or "Bflushright" -\end{quote} -environment instead. - -These are basically just "tabular" environments with a single column, and so -each line should end with "\\", or "\\["<dim>"]" to insert extra space, and -the text on each line must be balanced. Also, each line is sitting in its own -group, and so, e.g., if you want to change the font for the whole environment, -you should do this before the environment rather than after. -Like the "tabular" environment, the box that is produced has the baseline at -the center, unless you include an optional argument "[t]" to align the box -with the top line or "[b]" to align the box with the bottom line. - -For example: -\begin{example} - \setlength{\fboxsep}{10pt}% - \fbox{% - \begin{Bcenter} - Love of life\\ - and other short stories\\ - by Policarpa Salabarrieta - \end{Bcenter}} -\end{example} -Compare this with: -\begin{example} - \setlength{\fboxsep}{10pt}% - \fbox{% - \begin{minipage}{6cm} - \begin{center} - Love of life and other short stories - by Policarpa Salabarrieta - \end{center} - \end{minipage}} -\end{example} - -In either case, if we want the resulting framed box centered, we have to -include it inside another "center" environment. - -Here is another example: -\begin{example} - My list: \fbox{% - \begin{Bflushleft}[b] - Galanga root\\ - Coconut\\ - Tempeh - \end{Bflushleft}} -\end{example} - - -\section{Lists} - -There are again two ways to box a list environment such as -\begin{quote} - "itemize", "enumerate" or "description". -\end{quote} -You can put it in a "minipage" of pre-determined size and let \TeX\ do the -line breaking, or you can use -\begin{quote} - "Bitemize", "Benumerate" or "Bdescription" -\end{quote} -instead, and let the box adjust to the size of the longest line. - -For example. -\begin{example} - \fbox{% - \begin{Bitemize} - \item Groceries - \item Clean hamster cages - \item Pick up Peter - \end{Bitemize}} -\end{example} - - Most of the usual list parameters are irrelevant except for "\itemsep" and -"\labelsep". These environments are also based on the "tabular" environment, -and so each item should be balanced text. You can't write "\vspace{4pt}" -either, but you can insert an extra amount of space before an item by writing -"\item(4pt)" (or "\item(4pt)[label]" if you have a label). Also, you can break -lines within an item using "\\" or "\\[<dim>]". For example: -\begin{example} - \fbox{% - \begin{Bdescription} - \item[David] Groceries - \item[Eli] Hamster cages\\ - Surreal numbers - \item(3pt)[Doris] Pick up Peter - \end{Bdescription}} -\end{example} - -These environments also have an optional argument, "[t]" to align the box with -the top line, and "[b]" to align the box with the bottom line. -\begin{example} - To do: - \fbox{\setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}% - \begin{Benumerate}[t] - \item Groceries - \item Hamster cages - \item Pick up Peter - \end{Benumerate}} -\end{example} - -There is also a generic "\Blist" command that is analogous to \LaTeX's -"\list". It has the same two obligatory arguments, plus a third optional -"[t]" or "[b]" argument for changing the alignment. - -\section{Superimposing boxes} - -The command -\begin{LVerbatim} - \boxput*(<x>,<y>){<LR stuff1>}{<LR stuff2>} -\end{LVerbatim} -puts <LR stuff1> either behind (the default) or in front of (with the "*") <LR -stuff2>.\footnote{You will only notice the difference between "\boxput" and -"\boxput*" if you are using color implemented by "\special"'s} The resulting -box has the dimensions of <LR stuff2>. - -The coordinates "(<x>,<y>)" determine where the center of <LR stuff1> is -positioned. For example, "(0,0)" puts it at the center of <LR stuff2>, "(0,1)" -puts it at the center-top, and "(-1,-1)" puts it in the bottom-left corner. - -More generally, the origin of the coordinate system is at the center of <LR -stuff2>, one unit in the vertical direction is half the vertical size of <LR -stuff2>, and one unit in the horizontal direction is half the width of <LR -stuff2>. Thus, <x> and <y> should always be numbers (without units such as -"pt" or "cm"), with one exception: If <y> is "b" or "B", <LR stuff1> is -positioned vertically at the baseline of <LR stuff2>. "(<x>,<y>)" is -optional---the default is "(0,0)". - -Except for the funny coordinate system, "\boxput" is like the "\put" command -in a "picture". In particular, you can use "\makebox" in <LR stuff1> to -fine-tune the positioning, and <LR-stuff1> can contain a "picture" -environment. - -You might use "\boxput" to put a ``water mark'' in the background of a box, or -to put a label next to a box, when you don't want this label to take up any -space. Here is a lazy example: -\begin{example} - \boxput{\makebox(0,0){\Huge Censored!}}{\parbox{3in}{% - The origin of the coordinate system is at the center of - {\em LR stuff2}, and one unit in the x-direction - is half the width of {\em LR stuff2}.}} -\end{example} - -This would be a lot more interesting using PSTricks, with ``Censored!'' in the -foreground, rotated 30 degrees, and red: -\begin{LVerbatim} - \boxput*{\rput{30}{\Huge\red Censored}}{\parbox{3in}{% - blah blah}} -\end{LVerbatim} - -Here is another example using PSTricks: -\begin{LVerbatim} - \newcommand{\titledframe}[2]{% - \boxput*(0,1){\psframebox*{#1}}% - {\psframebox[framesep=12pt]{#2}}} -\end{LVerbatim} -\newcommand{\titledframe}[2]{% - \boxput*(0,1){#1}% - {\fboxsep=12pt \fbox{#2}}} -The following example illustrated roughly how it works, but ``My title'' does -not blot out the frame behind it because this documentation does not use -PSTricks. \begin{example} - \titledframe{My title}{% - \parbox{2in}{The title is superimposed - on the top part of the frame.}} -\end{example} - -\section{Framing a whole page} - -The commands -\begin{LVerbatim} - \fancyput*(<x>,<y>){<LR stuff>} - \thisfancyput*(<x>,<y>){<LR stuff>} -\end{LVerbatim} -are pretty much like "\put" commands in a \LaTeX\ picture environment whose -origin is 1 inch down and to the right from the top left corner of the -page.\footnote{Don't blame me for \TeX's peculiar 1 inch margins.} The only -differences are that (i) that any LR-mode material is permitted (including -\LaTeX\ "picture" environment, of course), (ii) the coordinate is optional -"(0pt,0pt)" is substituted by default), and (iii) if the coordinate is -included, you {\em must} specify the units. - -"\thisfancyput" affects only the current page, and is a global declaration -(analogous to "\thispagestyle"). - -If you include the optional "*", then the command adds to, rather than -replaces, other things that have been inserted with "\fancyput" or -"\thisfancyput". - -These commands are particularly useful for framing a page, because you can get -a frame that is, e.g., 1 inch from each side of the physical page without -having to worry about what margins you are using for the document. Here is an -example: -\begin{example*} - \thisfancyput(3.25in,-4.5in){% - \setlength{\unitlength}{1in}\fancyoval(7,9.5)} -\end{example*} -You could also use "\fancyput" to add some kind of ``watermark'' or background -image (e.g., a light gray ``DRAFT''). - -There are other commands that directly frame or in some other way box the page -of text: -\begin{LVerbatim} - \fancypage{<cmds1>}{<cmds2>} - \thisfancypage{<cmds1>}{<cmds2>} -\end{LVerbatim} - -Each finished page, before adding the headers and footers, (and thus having -width and height "\textwidth" and "\textheight", is boxed with -\begin{LVerbatim} - <cmds1>{<pagebox>} -\end{LVerbatim} -Thus, <cmds1> should be, or should end with, a command whose argument can be a -box, such as "\fbox" or "\rotateleft". - -Then the headers and footers are added, using the new width of the page, and -this is boxed with -\begin{LVerbatim} - <cmds2>{<pagebox>} -\end{LVerbatim} -The same rules apply to <cmds2> as to <cmds1>. - -Here is an example: -\begin{example*} - \thisfancypage{% - \setlength{\fboxsep}{8pt}% - \setlength{\shadowsize}{8pt}% - \shadowbox}{} -\end{example*} - -{\bf Warning:} The commands described in this section change \LaTeX's output -routine, and may not work with document styles that do the same. Also, bad -arguments can cause serious errors with uninformative error messages. - -\section{Switching to landscape mode midstream} - -The most common reason to switch to landscape mode midstream is to rotate a -float, such as a table or figure. This was discussed in Section \ref{floats}. - -If you want to rotate one or more pages, without rotating the headers and -footers, use the -\begin{LVerbatim} - \begin{LandScape}{<cmd>} - ... - \end{LandScape} -\end{LVerbatim} -environment. <cmd> should be the command for rotating the page 90 degrees to -the left or right. (E.g., "\rotateleft", or "\rotate[l]".) - -If you want to rotate the headers, footers and margins as well, use the -\begin{LVerbatim} - \begin{Landscape}{<paperwidth>}{<paperheight>}{<cmd>} - ... - \end{Landscape} -\end{LVerbatim} -environment (the small "s" makes the difference) to rotate the pages left -(counterclockwise), and use the "Landscape*" environment (same arguments) to -rotate the pages right (clockwise). The three arguments are the width of the -paper, the height of the paper, and the rotation command you are using. For -example, if I have a portrait mode document using the US 8.5in by 11in paper, -and if "\rotateleft{foo}" rotates "foo" 90 degrees counterclockwise, then I -can write -\begin{LVerbatim} - \begin{Landscape}{8.5in}{11in}{\rotateleft} -\end{LVerbatim} - -You can use "\LandScape", "\Landscape" and "\Landscape*", rather then the -"LandScape", "Landscape" and "Landscape*" environments, if you want the rest -of the document to be in landscape mode. - -If your document is being printed in landscape mode, then these environments -switch to portrait mode. - -For example, suppose I have a landscape mode document, and I want to switch to -portrait mode for the rest of the document, rotating the pages to the -``right'' with "\rotateright". Then I would write -\begin{LVerbatim} - \Landscape*{11in}{8.5in}{\rotateright} -\end{LVerbatim} - -These environments switch the text width and height, leaving the margins -exactly as they were before. It is quite possible that you want to make other -changes to the page parameters after switching to landscape mode, but as -Lamport points out the \LaTeX\ {\em User's Guide and Reference Manual}, this -generally doesn't work right in the middle of the document. "fancybox.sty" has -a command "\UsePageParameters" which gets around this. It should be used right -after you change the page parameters (and the page parameter changes should -come right after the beginning of the landscape environment, or "\clearpage"). - -{\bf Warning:} The commands and environments described in this section change -\LaTeX's output routine, and may not work with document styles that do the -same. Also, bad arguments can cause serious errors with uninformative error -messages. - -\section{Verbatim} - -If you try to frame some verbatim text by typing -\begin{LVerbatim} - \fbox{% - \begin{minipage}{5cm} - \begin{verbatim} - \My \Program \Listing - if { foo } { bar } fi - \end{verbatim} - \end{minipage}} -\end{LVerbatim} -you will get nonsense at best. This is because the argument to "\fbox" is read -before the "\begin{verbatim}" is processed. But then it is too late for \TeX\ -to go back and interpret the contents of the verbatim environment literally -rather than as special \TeX\ commands and characters. - -One solution is to use the "Sbox" environment: -\begin{example} - \begin{Sbox} - \begin{minipage}{5cm} - \begin{verbatim} - \My \Program \Listing - if { foo } { bar } fi - \end{verbatim} - \end{minipage} - \end{Sbox} - \setlength{\fboxsep}{8pt} - \fbox{\TheSbox} -\end{example} - -"fancybox.sty" also contains a command that ``fixes'' \LaTeX's LR-box commands -for use with verbatim text: -\begin{LVerbatim} - \VerbBox{<cmd>}{<LR stuff>} -\end{LVerbatim} -This is like -\begin{LVerbatim} - <cmd>{<LR stuff>} -\end{LVerbatim} -but <LR stuff> can contain verbatim text.\footnote{Or other tricks that -involve "\catcode" changes, as occurs with some foreign language macros.} For -example: -\begin{example} - \VerbBox{\fbox}{\verb+\foo{bar}+} -\end{example} - -For footnotes, put the command "\VerbatimFootnotes" in the preamble, and then -you can use verbatim commands or environments in the argument of "\footnote". -This is an optional feature because it might conflict with somebody else's -modification of the footnote system. - -If you try to define your own framed verbatim environment with -\begin{LVerbatim} - \newenvironment{FramedVerb}% - {\begin{Sbox}\begin{minipage}{5in}\begin{verbatim}} - {\end{verbatim}\end{minipage}\end{Sbox} - \setlength{\fboxsep}{8pt}\fbox{\TheSbox}} -\end{LVerbatim} -and then type -\begin{LVerbatim} - \begin{FramedVerb} - if { foo } { bar } fi - \end{FramedVerb} -\end{LVerbatim} -you will again run into trouble because after the "\begin{verbatim}", \LaTeX\ -is searching for the literal string "\end{verbatim}" as the end of the -verbatim text. It just skips right over the "\end{FramedVerb}" and may well -continue to the end of the file or until it throws up. - -"fancybox.sty" contains some verbatim environments that get around this -problem and that have other advantages for LR-boxing verbatim listings, when -compared to the standard \LaTeX\ "verbatim" environment. Admittedly, many of -their special features have nothing to do with boxes. - -Here are the basic verbatim environments: -\begin{description} - \vitem"Verbatim" Works pretty much like \LaTeX's "verbatim". - \vitem"LVerbatim" Like "Verbatim", but "list" rather than "trivlist" is used -to display the listing, and so it is indented from the left margin. (This is -what I am using for verbatim listings in this document.) - \vitem"BVerbatim[<pos>]" Produces a box with the same width as the longest -verbatim line. The baseline is in the center, unless you include the optional -argument "[t]" for alignment with the top line or "[b]" for alignment with the -bottom line. - \vitem"VerbatimOut{<file>}" Writes the verbatim text to <file>. - \vitem"SaveVerbatim{<cmd>}" Saves the verbatim text as <cmd>. <cmd> is -defined globally, without checking whether <cmd> is already defined. Use -obviously innocuous names like "\MyTemp". -\end{description} - -{\bf Important:} For any of these verbatim environments, or new verbatim -environments you define yourself (see below), nothing should come after -"\begin{Verbatim}" or before "\end{Verbatim}" on the same line --- not even -spaces!% - \footnote{If you need to allow something to come before "\end{Verbatim}", -then you have two options: - \begin{itemize} - \item Put the command "\AltGetVerbatim" in the preamble. This switches to a -scheme where anything preceding "\end{Verbatim}" is simply ignored. This can -cause problems if you do really weird things with active characters or other -commands within the verbatim environment (e.g., active conditionals that are -not balanced within a line of verbatim text), but in this case you are -probably a good enough hacker to use the next option. - \item "\EndVerbatimTokens" is a token register that you can set to the -tokens that should precede "\end{Verbatim}" on the same line, with their -verbatim "\catcode"'s. - \end{itemize}} -If you put something after "\begin{Verbatim}" on the same line, it is simply -ignored. However, if you put something after "\end{Verbatim}" on the same -line, or if you misspell "\end{Verbatim}", you will get an error such as -\begin{LVerbatim} - ! File ended while scanning use of \Verbatim. -\end{LVerbatim} -and the document will end at that point. - -You can define new verbatim environments using "\newenvironment". You just -have to start the definition with -\begin{LVerbatim} - \VerbatimEnvironment -\end{LVerbatim} - For example, here is the framed verbatim environment we tried earlier: -\begin{example**} - \newenvironment{FramedVerb}% - {\VerbatimEnvironment - \begin{Sbox}\begin{minipage}{5cm}\begin{Verbatim}}% - {\end{Verbatim}\end{minipage}\end{Sbox} - \setlength{\fboxsep}{8pt}\fbox{\TheSbox}} -\end{example**} -Let's give it a try: -\begin{example} - \begin{FramedVerb} - if { foo } { bar } fi - \end{FramedVerb} -\end{example} - -Here are three commands for inputting a whole file verbatim. The file must end -with a new line. -\begin{description} - \vitem"\VerbatimInput{<file>}" Like "\Verbatim". - \vitem"\LVerbatimInput{<file>}" Like "\LVerbatim". - \vitem"\BVerbatimInput[<pos>]{<file>}" Like "\BVerbatim". -\end{description} - -Here are three commands for making use of verbatim text that has been saved to -a command: -\begin{description} - \vitem"\UseVerbatim{<cmd>}" Like "\Verbatim". - \vitem"\LUseVerbatim{<cmd>}" Like "\LVerbatim". - \vitem"\BUseVerbatim[<pos>]{<cmd>}" Like "\BVerbatim". -\end{description} -The "SaveVerbatim" environment and the "\UseVerbatim" commands are useful for -including verbatim text in the argument of "\marginpar", "\fbox" and other -commands. For example, here is another way to define the "FramedVerb" -environment: -\begin{LVerbatim} - \newenvironment{FramedVerb}% - {\VerbatimEnvironment - \begin{SaveVerbatim}{\MyTemp}}% - {\end{SaveVerbatim}% - \setlength{\fboxsep}{8pt}% - \fbox{\begin{minipage}{5cm}\UseVerbatim{\MyTemp} - \end{minipage}}} -\end{LVerbatim} - -Here are some verbatim commands for short-pieces of (in-line) verbatim text: -\begin{description} - \vitem"\Verb<char> <literal> <char>" \ \\ - Like \LaTeX's "\verb" command, but it will complain if it encounters a new -line in <literal>.\footnote{Be careful that your word processing does not -insert one for you.} For example: -\begin{example*} - "\begin{quote} - The main use for the \Verb+SaveVerbatim+ - environment and the \Verb+\UseVerbatim+ - commands is to include $\ldots$ - "\end{quote} -\end{example*} - \vitem"\UseVerb{<cmd>}" Like "\UseVerbatim", but without any particular -formatting. It is intended for including short pieces of literal text saved -with "\SaveVerb" (below).\footnote{But it can also be used for multiple lines -saved with the "SaveVerbatim" environment if you want to do the formatting -yourself. E.g., try this in a tabbing environment with "\VerbatimTab" -appropriately defined.} - \vitem"\SaveVerb[<whatever>]{<cmd>}<char> <literal> <char>"\ \\ - This is like "\Verb", but it saves <literal> as <cmd>, and then returns to -the optional argument <whatever>. Like the "SaveVerbatim" environment, it -defines <cmd> globally without checking whether <cmd> is already defined. -Without the optional argument, the most common use is for including verbatim -text in a "\marginpar", "\section" or other command argument. - - The optional argument can be used for special tricks. For example, all the -listings of commands in this documentation use "\vitem" in a "description" -environment, where "\vitem" is defined by:\footnote{The braces enclosing the -optional argument of "\SaveVerb" prevent the "]" inside the argument from -being mistaken for the end of the argument.} -\begin{LVerbatim} - \newcommand{\vitem}% - {\SaveVerb[{\item[\UseVerb{\MyTemp}]}]{\MyTemp}} -\end{LVerbatim} -Whereas -\begin{LVerbatim} - \item[\Verb"\foo"] -\end{LVerbatim} -would not work because after "\item" reads its argument it is too late to -interpret "\foo" literally, -\begin{LVerbatim} - \vitem"foo" -\end{LVerbatim} -does work because it is equivalent to -\begin{LVerbatim} - \SaveVerb{\MyTemp}"foo"\item[\UseVerb{\MyTemp}] -\end{LVerbatim} -\end{description} - - -These environments and commands use various parameters that make it easy to -customize their behavior. However, until you want to find the need for such -customization, you might as well ignore the rest of this section. - -Internally, "fancybox.sty" separates the reading and formatting of verbatim -text. Most of the environments and commands perform both functions, but -"SaveVerbatim" and "\SaveVerb" only read the text, while "UseVerbatim" (and -company) and "\UseVerb" only format the text. "VerbatimOut" gets special -treatment. The parameters that apply to each class of verbatim environment or -command is listed in Table \ref{verbtable}. - -\begin{table} -\begin{center} -\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{0} -\setlength{\tabcolsep}{7pt} -\newcommand{\vs}{& \\[\tabcolsep]} -\newcommand{\VS}{\\ \vs \hline \vs} -\begin{tabular}{|l|l|} -\hline \vs -{\em Where} & {\em What} -\\ \vs \hline -\hline \vs - \begin{Bflushleft} - Environments\\ - that format - \end{Bflushleft} -& - \begin{Bflushleft} - "\VerbatimSpace"\\ - "\VerbatimTab"\\ - "\VerbatimFont"\\ - "\VerbatimFuzz"\\ - "\EveryVerbatimLine"\\ - "\EveryVerbatim"\\ - "\ThisVerb" - \end{Bflushleft} -\VS - \begin{Bflushleft} - Environments\\ - that read - \end{Bflushleft} -& - \begin{Bflushleft} - "\EveryVerbatimCodes"\\ - "\ThisVerbCodes" - \end{Bflushleft} -\VS - \begin{Bflushleft} - "\Verb" and\\ - "\UseVerb" - \end{Bflushleft} -& - \begin{Bflushleft} - "\VerbSpace"\\ - "\VerbTab"\\ - "\VerbFont"\\ - "\EveryVerb"\\ - "\ThisVerb" - \end{Bflushleft} -\VS - \begin{Bflushleft} - "\Verb" and\\ - "\SaveVerb" - \end{Bflushleft} -& - \begin{Bflushleft} - "\EveryVerbCodes"\\ - "\ThisVerbCodes" - \end{Bflushleft} -\VS - \begin{Bflushleft} - "VerbatimOut" - \end{Bflushleft} -& - \begin{Bflushleft} - "\EveryVerbOutCodes"\\ - "\ThisVerbCodes"\\ - "\EveryVerbOutLine"\\ - "\ThisVerb" - \end{Bflushleft} -\\ \vs \hline -\end{tabular} -\caption{Parameters for the verbatim environments and -commands.\label{verbtable}} -\end{center} -\end{table} - -All the parameters, including "\VerbatimFuzz", are ordinary commands, and -should be changed with "\renewcommand". - -Here is a description of each of the parameters for environments that format -the verbatim text: -\begin{description} - \vitem"\VerbatimSpace" The insertion text for spaces. The default is "\ ", -which produces a blank space. Change it to "\ttspace" to get \ttspace. - \vitem"\VerbatimTab" The insertion text for tabs. The default is -\begin{LVerbatim} - \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ -\end{LVerbatim} - \vitem"\VerbatimFont" The font to use for verbatim text. The default is -"\tt" - \vitem"\VerbatimFuzz" This is the amount by which lines can be too long in a -"Verbatim" or "LVerbatim" environment before you get overfull "\hbox" -warnings. This threshold is usually .1pt, but the default definition of -"\VerbatimFuzz" is "2pt" because verbatim lines won't break and are therefore -often too long. - \vitem"\EveryVerbatimLine" This is inserted at the beginning of each line of -verbatim environments or verbatim files. By default it does nothing. I like to -indent each line in the verbatim environment in the input file by 2 spaces, so -I define -\begin{LVerbatim} - \renewcommand{\EveryVerbatimLine}[2]{} -\end{LVerbatim} -to eat those spaces. (But I have to remember to put in two spaces or space -markers for blank lines too.) You might also use it to number the lines. For -example: -\begin{example} - \newcounter{VerbLineNo} - \renewcommand{\EveryVerbatimLine}% - {\makebox[10pt][r]{% - \stepcounter{VerbLineNo}% - \tiny\rm\arabic{VerbLineNo}}% - \hspace{10pt}} - \renewcommand{\EveryVerbatim}% - {\setcounter{VerbLineNo}{0}} - \begin{SaveVerbatim}{\MyTemp} - \setlength{\fboxsep}{15pt} - \setlength{\mylength}{\linewidth} - \end{SaveVerbatim} - \fbox{\BUseVerbatim{\MyTemp}} -\end{example} - \vitem"\EveryVerbatim" Whatever else you want to say before formatting the -verbatim text. By default, it does nothing. - \vitem"\ThisVerb" This is executed before any of the commands above, and -then its value is cleared. Use this to customize a single verbatim formatting -environment. -\end{description} - -Here is a description of the parameters for environments that read the -verbatim text: -\begin{description} - \vitem"\EveryVerbatimCodes" This command is inserted just before reading the -verbatim text. Use it to play with "\catcode"'s (see the {\em \TeX book}). For -example, I might type -\begin{LVerbatim} - \renewcommand{\EveryVerbatimCodes}{\catcode`\"=14} -\end{LVerbatim} -if I want to use \Verb+"+ as a comment character in verbatim text.% -%% The use of SaveVerbatim and \SaveVerb is not necessary here because -%% \VerbatimFootnotes is in effect. This is just a test. -\begin{SaveVerbatim}{\MyTemp} - \def\MyQuote{"} % \MyQuote is now the character ", - \def\temp{\Verb"} % in case I need it. - \catcode`\"=13 % Now " is like a command. - \let"\temp % Now "foo" is like \Verb"foo" - \def\do{\noexpand\do\noexpand} % Now " can be used in verbatim - \edef\dospecials{\dospecials\do\"} % environments anyway. -\end{SaveVerbatim}\SaveVerb{\Foo}+"+\SaveVerb{\FFoo}+\Verb"foo"+% -\footnote{Here is another "\catcode" trick. We make \UseVerb{\Foo} a short -verbatim command, so that we can say \UseVerb{\Foo foo\Foo} instead of -\UseVerb{\FFoo}: -\LUseVerbatim{\MyTemp}} - \vitem"\ThisVerbCodes" This command is executed before "\EveryVerbCodes", -and then it is cleared. Use this to fool with the "\catcode"`s of a single -verbatim environment. -\end{description} - -The parameters for "\Verb", "\UseVerb" and "\SaveVerb" and the "VerbatimOut" -environment are analogous to the similar commands for other environments. - -Here is an example of the use of "\ThisVerb" to define a variant of "\Verb" -that uses \ttspace\ to mark spaces: -\begin{LVerbatim} - \newcommand{\SVerb}{% - \renewcommand{\ThisVerb}% - {\renewcommand{\VerbatimSpace}{\ttspace}}% - \Verb} -\end{LVerbatim} - -Finally, without further comment, here are the definitions of the "example" -and "example*" environments that were used for the examples in this document: -{\renewcommand{\EveryVerbatimLine}{}\LVerbatimInput{\jobname.ex1}} - -\section{Changes} -\raggedright - -\paragraph*{Version 0.9, November 23, 1992} First release. - -\paragraph*{Version 0.91, November 25, 1992} -\begin{enumerate} - \item "\shadowsize" is now a length, to be set with "\setlength" or -"\addtolength". - \item "\fancypage" split into "\fancypage" and "\fancyput" -\end{enumerate} - -\paragraph*{Version 0.92, December 20, 1992} -\begin{enumerate} - \item New "\boxput" command for superimposing boxes. - \item New "\VerbatimFootnotes" command. - \item New "\VerbBox" command for verbatim boxes. - \item New "Sbox" environment.

And if nothing work, ask for help on the PSTricks mailing list, -hopping that somebody on the list has the same configuration than you... - -3.3 - Test of the installation - -The file doc/test-pst.tex allow you to test all your installation and the -various components of PSTricks. It is the concatenation of most of the -examples of the PSTricks chapter of "The LaTeX Graphics Companion". -You must take care (mainly if you are "normally" a user of plain TeX only, -that it require LaTeX and some packages of it distribution (namely `calc', -`ifthen' and `graphicx'). It also require the `random' and `subfigure' -packages, which can be found on CTAN or the TeXLive cdrom - see the README -file of the doc subdirectory). - -3.4 - Known pitfalls - - a - To use the standard `color' package (which is available both -for plain TeX and LaTeX) with PSTricks, you must load the `pstcol' extra -package written by David Carlisle, which interface the two packages, -loading them in the right order, and overriding some small parts of PSTricks -to allow it to use the `color' package system for specifying color. -We strongly recommend that you use the `color' package today. - - b - Don't try to load the `color' package if you use `pst-all' -(it is already loaded in the correct order). - - c - If needed, preferably load the `graphics' / `graphicx' package -after PSTricks, and in this case use the `graphics' syntax of \scalebox -(not the one described in the PSTricks documentation). - - d - If you load `graphics' / `graphicx' before PSTricks, you must use -the PSTricks syntax of \scalebox in all cases (not the one described -in the `grfguide' document). - - e - We have rename some package files for consistency. But the reference -documentation in obsolete/doc subdirectory still refer to the old names. -So, take care that `pst2eps' is now `pst-eps', `charpath' is now `pst-char', -`gradient' is now `pst-grad', `textpath' is now `pst-text' and `pstree' is -now `pst-tree'. - - -4 - Contents - -------- - -4.1 - Subdirectories - -The distribution contain the following subdirectories: - -contrib : various contributions -doc : documentations (up to date ones - the obsolete/doc subdirectory - contain the reference documentation for the version 0.93a and - the additional old Beta material, which is still necessary to use...) -dvips : PostScript header files -generic : TeX generic sources -latex : LaTeX wrappers -obsolete: documentation and sources for the version 0.93a and the - additional old Beta material - -4.2 - PSTricks core files - -The generic subdirectory contain the core files of PSTricks (and the latex -subdirectory contain the corresponding wrapper files). By alphabetic order: - -multido : loop facility for Generic TeX (in fact independant of PSTricks) -pst-3d : 3d projections -pst-char: stroking and filling character paths -pst-coil: coils and zigzags -pst-eps : conversion of PSTricks graphics to EPS files -pst-fill: fillings and tilings -pst-grad: gradients -pst-node: nodes and node connections -pst-plot: plots -pst-text: texts along a path -pst-tree: trees - -In addition, there is a LaTeX package `pst-all' in the latex subdirectory, -which loads all of the PSTricks components, plus `pstcol', in one go -(`pstcol' require also a color.cfg file defined; make sure you do _not_ load -the `color' package by itself). The only reason for _not_ using this is that -it uses extra memory for facilities you might not need. - - -5 - Documentation - ------------- - -There is NOT a complete up to date _reference_ documentation for PSTricks 97. -You must still refer to the reference documentation of the version 0.93a and -the additional old Beta material, available in the obsolete/doc subdirectory -(it was put in the "obsolete" subdirectory to clearly show that it is not up -to date nor supported by actual mainteners). Take care to notice what has -changed in additional old Beta documents (betadoc?.ps files) comparing to the -ones for 0.93a version (pst-usr?.ps files). - -Denis Girou maintain a list of known errors in both version 0.93a and -additional old Beta documentations, in obsolete/doc/pst-doc.err - -A large chapter of "The LaTeX Graphics Companion", by Goossens, Rahtz and -Mittelbach, Addison Wesley 1997, is dedicated to PSTricks, and this -currently forms the only systematic description of the integration of -the basic PSTricks and the beta additions of 1993. The source of all examples -from that book is also on CTAN/info/lgc and most of them in the doc/lgc -subdirectory of the PST97 distribution. - -There is also a supporting set of Web pages, actually maintained -by Denis Girou, on http://www.tug.org/applications/PSTricks with various -pointers and examples classified by categories. - -And there is also a mailing list devoted to discussions on PSTricks usage. -The informations to subscribe to this list and to consult the archives can -be found on the Web page. - --- -Denis Girou and Sebastian Rahtz (updated May 5, 1999) |
