- The RUBIK bundle 2017/03/03
- - rubikcube package v4.0 -> macros and commands for typesetting
- - rubikrotation package v4.0 -> macros and Perl program for rotations
- - rubikpatterns package v4.0 -> macros and commands for typesetting
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The RUBIK bundle provides three complementary packages for documenting the
-Rubik cube (3x3x3) notation, configurations and for processing rotation sequences.
-The three packages are (a) the rubikcube package, (b) the rubikrotation package,
-and (c) the rubikpatterns package.
-
- (1) Rubikcube package
-
- The rubikcube package provides a collection of LaTeX commands
- and macros for typesetting Rubik cube configurations and rotation
- instructions using the PGF/TikZ graphic languages.
- (2) Rubikrotation package
-
- The rubikrotation package, is a dynamic extension to
- the rubikcube package. It consists of the Perl script
- rubikrotation.pl and style option rubikrotation.sty.
- The rubikrotation package implements rotation sequences and
- random scrambling of the Rubik cube on-the-fly, using the
- RubikRotation command. It returns the new Rubik state in a form
- which can then be typeset using commands from the rubikcube package.
-
- Since the RubikRotation command works by CALLing the
- Perl script rubikrotation.pl, it follows that the rubikrotation
- package requires (a) Perl to be installed, and (b) (Pdf/Lua)LaTeX needs
- to be run using the --shell-escape command-line switch (LuaLaTeX will
- require access to the recent shellesc package).
-
- (3) New features
-
- rubikcube:
- --- Improved documentation.
- --- Additional notation for middle slice rotations (`m' notation).
- --- Additional notation for whole cube rotations (`c' notation).
- --- Added Randelshofer notation (the `CMST' rotations).
- --- Two new \Draw.. commands which replace earlier (now deprecated
- but still supported) versions.
- --- Six new commands for showing and annotating rotation sequences.
- --- A new command for setting up a `solved' colour configuration.
- --- A new command for setting up a `starter cube' for which the whole
- cube is allocated the default grey colour.
-
- rubikrotation:
- --- better syntax checking
- --- 4 new macros SequenceInfo, SequenceName, SequenceShort, SequenceLong
-
- rubikpatterns:

+The RUBIK bundle (version 5) February 24, 2018
+
+rubikcube package : macros for typesetting 3x3x3 cubes
+rubiktwocube package : macros for typesetting 2x2x2 cubes
+rubikrotation package: macros Perl program for rotations
+rubikpatterns package: macros for typesetting
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+The RUBIK bundle provides four complementary packages for
+documenting the Rubik cube (3x3x3) and Twocube (2x2x2)
+notation and configurations, and for processing rotation
+sequences for both cubes. A Perl program which processes
+rotation sequences on the fly is also included. The four
+packages are:
+(a) the rubikcube (3x3x3) package,
+(b) the rubiktwocube (2x2x2) package (NEW),
+(c) the rubikrotation package,
+(d) the rubikpatterns package.
+
+
+ (1) rubikcube package (3x3x3 cubes)
+
+ The rubikcube package provides a collection of LaTeX
+ commands and macros for typesetting Rubik cube
+ configurations and rotation instructions using the
+ PGF/TikZ graphic languages.
+
+
+ (2) rubiktwocube package (2x2x2 cubes) NEW
+
+ The rubiktwocube package provides a collection of LaTeX
+ commands and macros for typesetting TwoCube configurations
+ and rotation instructions using the PGF/TikZ graphic
+ languages.
+
+
+ (3) rubikrotation package
+
+ The rubikrotation package, is a dynamic extension to the
+ rubikcube and rubiktwocube packages. It consists of the
+ Perl script rubikrotation.pl and style option
+ rubikrotation.sty. The rubikrotation package implements
+ rotation sequences and random scrambling of the Rubik cube
+ on-the-fly, using the RubikRotation command. It returns
+ the new Rubik state in a form which can then be typeset
+ using commands from the Rubik bundle.
+
+ Since the RubikRotation command works by CALLing the Perl
+ script rubikrotation.pl, it follows that the rubikrotation
+ package requires
+ (a) Perl to be installed, and
+ (b) (Pdf/Lua)LaTeX to be run using the --shell-escape
+ command-line switch (available from the shellesc package).
+
+
+ (4) rubikpatterns package
+
+ The RubikPatterns package is a small database of well-known
+ patterns and sequences in the form of named macros which
+ can be processed easily using the RubikRotation command.
+
+
+ (5) New features
+
+ rubikcube:
+ --- Improved documentation.
+ --- Minor improvements to log-file documentation.
+ --- New commands for drawing cube sidebars adjacent to
+ cube edges.
+ --- Two new commands for setting up WY (White opposite
+ Yellow) and WB (White opposite Blue) `starter grey
+ cubes'.
+ --- Bugfix for the \ShowSequence command (fixes a problem
+ of fonts not being contained appropriately).
+ --- Added some missing lower case rotation notation.
+ --- A new \NoSidebar command for disabling sidebars of a
+ specified colour (mainly for use with OLL displays).
+
+ rubiktwocube:
+ --- this is new package dealing with 2x2x2 cubes, having
+ similar functionality to the rubikcube package.
+
+ rubikrotation:
+ --- minor code improvements in Perl programme, and
+ improved syntax checking.
+ --- some minor bugfixes in Perl programme
+ (eg: a zero or missing integer with random keyword
+ now generates an error message).
+ --- added new keyword `cubesize' to hold cube size
+ ie either `three' or `two' to inform Perl programme
+ as to which sort of cube is being processed.
+
+ rubikpatterns:
+ --- (no change from v4).

-familiarity with the three complementary packages \textsc{rubikcube},
-\textsc{rubikrotation} and \textsc{rubikpatterns}. For~documentation see the files:

+the file will still run, but all the cubes will remain in the initial

+(\texttt{rubikexamples.tex}) in a separate directory and look at Figure~1;

+\subsection{3x3x3 vs 2x2x2 command names}
+The introduction of the \textsc{rubiktwocube} package (Rubik bundle v5)
+has necessitated a few command name changes in order to avoid confusion
+(see the \textsc{rubikcube} package documentation \S\,3.1 for details).
+Consequently, command names containing the word `\texttt{Rubik}' denote
+a 3x3x3 cube action; similarly those containing the word `\texttt{Two}'
+denote a 2x2x2 cube action.
\subsection{Environments}
-
When using the Rubik bundle one sometimes needs to be mindful of the various
\LaTeX\ environments in which Rubik commands are placed (e.g.,~the figure,
minipage and TikZ picture environments), since these environments restrict
the actions of commands they contain to the particular environment.
The \verb!\ShowCube! command is also relevant here, since it is a
minipage-wrapper for the TikZ picture environment. Only Rubik \verb!\Draw..!
-commands actually need to be inside a TikZ picture environment.

showing different stages during a sequence of rotations. Consequently

+
+We now look at how the \verb!\RubikRotation! command can be used to
+investigate cube patterns, which are typically shown only as a
+regular cube. For example, consider the following interesting sequence
+\linebreak\texttt{L' F' R' L U D R' D' L' B' U2 L' U' R L U' F2 R'}
+(Harris 2008, page~150), which is presented as a cube with orthogonal
+stripes (see figure~A). In order to show the pattern using the Rubik
+ bundle, it is often useful to first express the sequence as a macro.
+ In this particular case we need to adjust the Harris (2008) notation
+ slightly to make it compatible (ie, insert commas, change trailing
+ `primes' into a trailing `p'), give it a suitable name
+ (say, \verb![StripesOrtho]!), and, for completion, include the citation
+in an `infoblock' ($<$...$>$), as follows:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\newcommand{\StripesOrtho}{%
+ [StripesOrtho],Lp,Fp,Rp,L,U,D,Rp,Dp,Lp,Bp,U2,Lp,Up,R,L,Up,F2,Rp,<Harris 2008, p150>}
+\end{verbatim}
+We can now process it simply by using its macro-name as the argument for
+the \verb!\RubikRotation! command; for example, the following code displays
+it as figure~A.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\RubikCubeSolved
+\RubikRotation{\StripesOrtho}
+\ShowCube{2.6cm}{0.6}{\DrawRubikCubeRU}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+At first sight this looks like a nice example of orthogonal stripes,
+but if we look at all the faces by rendering the cube in a Semi-Flat
+(SF) view (using the command \verb!\DrawRubikCubeSF!)
+ ---see~figure~B--- this reveals that unfortunately only five faces
+actually have a center stripe.
+
+\bigskip
+

+\ShowCube{2.6cm}{0.6}{\DrawRubikCubeRU}
+\hspace{3cm}
+\cubenumber{B}
+\ShowCube{4cm}{0.4}{\DrawRubikCubeSF}
+
+\bigskip
+
+{\noindent}So the question is: can we improve on this and create a cube
+with a fully orthogonal pattern, by swapping the relevant red/yellow
+and blue/yellow edge cubies in the back layer? Since it is impossible
+to swap just two edge cubies within the same layer in a 3x3x3 cube
+without changing any other cubies, the answer is no. However, we are
+able to cycle cleanly three edge cubies within one face, and a single
+cycle could at least create the final stripe with only minimal collateral
+damage.
+
+For example, if we rotate the whole cube using the rotation denoted
+as \rr{Rcp} (= \verb!\rr{Rcp}!)\,\footnote{There are several equivalent
+notations for this: \rr{Rcp} $\equiv$ \rr{xp} $\equiv$ \rr{CRp};
+the c and C denote a whole cube rotation.} to bring the \textsc{back} face to
+the \textsc{up} position (as shown in figure~C), we can then cycle the three
+\textsc{up} edge cubies UL, UR, UF clockwise using the following
+`CycleThreeUpEdges' sequence:
+\begin{verbatim}
+\newcommand{\CycleThreeUpEdges}{F2,U,Rm,Up,Up,Lm,U,Fp2}
+\end{verbatim}
+We can combine these two actions using the command
+\verb!\RubikRotation{Rcp,\CycleThreeUpEdges}!, which will then align the
+three red facelets in the \textsc{up} face and form the final stripe
+(see figure~D).
+

+\hspace{3cm}
+\RubikRotation{\CycleThreeUpEdges}
+\cubenumber{D}
+\ShowCube{4cm}{0.4}\DrawRubikCubeSF
+
+\medskip
+
+The downside, of course, is that a yellow and a white facelet are also
+swapped in the top layer, but at least we now have a cube with six
+mutually adjacent orthogonal central stripes\,!

+\section{TwoCube examples (2x2x2)}
+
+\subsection{Commands \& notation}
+
+Regarding the 2x2x2 cube as a `TwoCube' (instead of a RubikCube) makes
+the 2x2x2 commands very intuitive (assuming you are familiar with the
+3x3x3 commands), since they are mostly obtained just by exchanging
+the word `Rubik' in 3x3x3 commands for the word `Two'. For example,
+
+\medskip
+
+\verb!3x3x3!\quad\hspace{1cm}$\rightarrow$\quad\hspace{1cm}\verb!2x2x2!
+
+\smallskip
+
+\verb!\RubikCubeSolvedWY! $\rightarrow$ \verb!\TwoCubeSolvedWY!
+
+\verb!\RubikRotation!\qquad\ $\rightarrow$ \quad\verb!\TwoRotation!
+
+\verb!\SaveRubikState!\qquad\ $\rightarrow$ \quad\verb!\SaveTwoState!
+
+\medskip
+
+Note that although the 2x2x2 cube does not have any middle slices, one can still
+ actually use the 3x3x3 commands \verb!\RubikRotation! and \verb!\SaveRubikState!
+ in the usual way (because the corner cubies are still processed in
+the usual way). However, in the interests of consistency
+both of these commands have equivalent `Two' versions: namely
+\verb!\TwoRotation! and \verb!\SaveTwoState!.
+
+Of course there are considerably fewer rotation codes and hieroglyphs
+associated with the TwoCube (since there are no middle slices), and
+their commands also mirror the 3x3x3 equivalents in the \textsc{rubikcube}
+package; i.e.,~\verb!Rubik! $\rightarrow$ \verb!Two! and
+\verb!r! $\rightarrow$ \verb!t!. Thus the changes associated with the
+four key commands can be summarised as follows :
+
+ \medskip
+
+ \verb!3x3x3! \hphantom{$\rightarrow$} \verb!2x2x2!
+
+ \smallskip
+
+ \verb!\rr{}! $\rightarrow$ \verb!\tr{}!
+
+ \verb!\rrh{}! $\rightarrow$ \verb!\trh{}!
+
+ \verb!\Rubik{}! $\rightarrow$ \verb!\Two{}!
+
+ \verb!\textRubik{}! $\rightarrow$ \verb!\textTwo{}!
+
+

+
+\bigskip
+

+\subsection{Visualising white-space}
+
+This example shows how the F version of the \verb!\ShowCube{}{}{}! command can be useful for revealing excess white space.
+
+
+
+ \bigskip
+
+\TwoCubeSolvedWB%
+\ShowCubeF{3cm}{0.6}{\DrawTwoCubeRU}%
+\quad\ShowCubeF{1.7cm}{0.6}{\DrawTwoFaceUS}%
+\hspace{1cm}

+\begin{verbatim}
+\TwoCubeSolvedWB%
+\ShowCubeF{3cm}{0.6}{\DrawTwoCubeRU}%
+\quad%
+\ShowCubeF{1.7cm}{0.5}{\DrawTwoFaceUS}%
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{minipage}
+
+
+\bigskip
+
+ Both images above have an F-box drawn around them (so we can see the
+ extent of any white space) using the F version of the \verb!\ShowCube!$\{\mbox{\textit{width}}\}\{\mbox{\textit{scale-factor}}\}\{\}$ command,
+ namely \verb!\ShowCubeF{}{}{}!. Clearly the \verb!3cm! width we have
+ used for the first cube above is too much, and so in the second pair
+ of images below we have reduced this width for the first image to
+ its correct value of \verb!1.6cm!, and have removed the F from the
+ \verb!\ShowCubeF! command accordingly.
+
+\bigskip
+
+\quad%
+\TwoCubeSolvedWB%
+\ShowCube{1.6cm}{0.6}{\DrawTwoCubeRU}%

+\quad%
+\ShowCube{1.7cm}{0.5}{\DrawTwoFaceUS}%
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{minipage}
+
+\bigskip
+
+Thus use of the F version of the the \verb!ShowCube! command allows
+the user to easily determine---by trial \& error---the correct minipage
+width for a particular cube.
+
+
+\pagebreak
+
+%-------------------
+\subsection{Flat and semi-flat formats}
+
+We can view the hidden faces of a cube using the semi-flat (SF) and
+flat (F) versions of the \verb!\DrawTwoCube..! command as follows.
+
+In the first figure we have also used the F version of the
+\verb!\ShowCube{}{}{}! command to reveal the size of the minipage
+which contains the image. Notice that since the 2D width of the side
+face (red) is approximately 1 unit, we can estimate that the total
+width of the image will be 6 + 1 = 7 units, and hence as we have
+specified a TikZ scale factor of 0.6, then the required width of
+the minipage is approximately $4.2$ ($= 7 \times 0.6$)
+---see Section~4.1 in the \textsc{rubikcube} package documentation
+for details).

+\subsection{Grey cube}
+
+
+A cube with all of the facelets coloured grey (a `grey' cube) can be
+useful as a starting state for instruction. Such a cube is generated
+by the command \verb!\TwoCubeGreyAll!.
+We can then allocate colours to those facelets demonstrating
+some feature of cube manipulation.
+ Here we are showing how to rotate the GWR corner cubie in the bottom layer
+ up into its `solved' position in the top layer. We also use two cube
+ sidebars to show the colours of the hidden facelets of the corner cubie.

+\subsection{Scrambled cube}
+
+In the following example we scramble the cube using 20 random rotations using

+for the \verb!\TwoRotation{}! command. We have also added a set of cube sidebars

A Rubik pattern is the configuration generated by a sequence of rotations
(or `moves') from some initial starting configuration (typically a `solved'
-configuration). For example, `sixspot' is a well known pattern generated from
-a solved Rubik cube by the rotation sequence \texttt{U,Dp,R,Lp,F,Bp,U,Dp}, as follows:

+ ## HISTORY
+ ##-------------------------------
+ ## v5.0 (25 February 2018)
##-------------------------------
- ## changes in v3.6 (January 2017)
- ## (1) included Jaap Rm and Rc notation
- ## (2) new sub for improved expansion of mod-4 multiples of rotations (Oct 2016)
- ## (3) restructured to facilitate processing arrays through the rotation sub
- ## (4) included option for an <info> block
- ## (5) included Randelshofer superset ENG 3x3 notation
- ## (6) implemented an `inverse' mode
- ## (7) improved syntax checking
- ## (8) used perltidy to polish the program layout
- ## (but only when making the pdf documentation-- see file rubikrotationPL.pdf)
- ## (9) included a lot of new subroutines
- ##--------------------------------
- ## changes in v3.2:
- ## 1) changed program, prog --> script
- ## 2) added leading ... to the comments written by the <writestate> sub
- ## (the ... code indicates that comments are written by the Perl script)
##
- ## 3) v3.2a added a \RubikSeqNEW{...} output line in the output file
- ## to facilitate typesetting the rotation sequence (works OK just now)
+ ## 4.2h (07 February 2018)
+ ## --- adjusted the no of leading dots for the gprint command
+ ## when writing the up, down,.. colour state to the log file
+ ## so as to make the array form a square block (ie easier to read)
+ ## (in MAIN)
##
- ## 4) v3.2c: added new commands:
- ## \RotationSequenceName{}
- ## \RotationSequenceClean{}
+ ## 4.2g
+ ## --- 29 October 2017 added syntax checking for (( )) /inside/ squarebrackets
+ ## (in SUB checksyntax)
+ ## --- 24 October 2017 changed {};--> (), in SequenceNameNew (in SUB writestate)
+ ## this repairs these chars back to their original state.
+ ## --- 22 October 2017 minor adjustments to syntax checking (in SUB checksyntax)
+ ## to allow some extra chars in the [name] and <info> blocks.
+ ## Ideally, we want to be able to use /any/ chars inside these infoblocks.
##
- ## 5) v3.2d: changed the returned command names (removed the Rotation part to keep it simple)
- ## \Sequence{} = orig seq + NO NAME
- ## \SequenceName{} = NAME only
- ## \SequenceClean{} = clean seq + NO NAME
+ ## 4.2f
+ ## --- 05 Oct 2017 bugfix: added a ShowSequence [\space] bug fix in SUB checksyntax
+ ## --- 04 Oct 2017 adjusted brackets < > error messages (lines 2643--2659)
+ ##
+ ## 4.2e: (29 Sept 2017)
+ ## --- added a ``Western'' notation filter (provisional \& works)
+ ##
+ ## 4.2d: (10 August 2017)
+ ## --- placed a checkstate() command inside the rotation keyword
+ ## and stopped TEX writing the keyword checkstate to the rubikstate.dat file
+ ##
+ ## 4.2c: (2 August 2017)
+ ## --- added new rubikkeyword "cubesize" to hold cube size (three or two)
+ ## so we can tell which sort of cube is being processed
+ ## We can use this to detect when using the TwoRotation command
+ ## (for the TWOcube) vs when using the RubikRotation command
+ ## (for the THREEcube); for eample with regard to random rotations
+ ## (see random SUB; see RubikTwoCube.sty)
+ ##
+ ## 4.2b: (1 Aug 2017)
+ ## --- Removed the random,0 option --> n=50 (random SUB)
+ ## a zero or missing integer now generates an error message.
##
- ## 6) v3.2e:(25 Sept 2016)
+ ## 4.2a: (28 July 2017)
+ ## --- bugfix: error if spaces in RubikRotation{random,n} string from LaTeX.
+ ## Fixed to accommodate spaces, and uppercase random (lines 366 -- 388 approx)
+ ##
+ ##-------------------------------
+ ## v4.0 (3 March 2017)

+ ##--------------------------------
+ ## changes in v3.2:
+ ## v3.2h: (2 Oct 2016)
+ ## improved the mod 4 routine using SUB rubikmod()
+ ## improved comments to log file re: rotation processing
+ ##
+ ## v3.2e:(25 Sept 2016)
## changed some command names: use short & long for the Rubik R2 --> R,R code
## (more intuitive than Clean)
## \Sequence{} --> SecquenceShort{}
## \SequenceClean{} --> SecquenceLong{}
## removed the [ and ] around [name] variable
##

+ ## since the ForEachX macro used by ShowSequence macro cannot handle an empty string

+ ## (CALLed by SUB quitprogram) just prior to closing down.

% \section{Command conventions}
% \label{sec:conventions}
%
+
%
% All \rubikcube\ package commands assume a 3x3x3 cube by default.
-% There are three primary command categories: (a)~\cmd{\Draw..} commands
-% (which must always be used \textit{inside} a TikZ picture environment),
-% (b)~`parameter-allocation' commands---e.g.,~\cmd{\RubikCubeSolved}---which can
-% be used either inside or outside a TikZ environment),
-% and (c)~commands which can be used in ordinary text
-% (e.g.,~|\rr{}| rotation commands).
+% Since all cubes are displayed or `drawn' using the TikZ picture environment,
+% it is useful (initially at least) to categorise commands with regard to this environment
+% (and also with regard to the \cmd{\ShowCube..} command since this
+% is simply a convenient wrapper for the TikZ picture environment).
+% On~this basis, we can distingush three conceptually useful categories, as follows:
+%
+% \begin{enumerate}
+%
+% \item \cmd{\Draw..} commands
+% (which must \textit{always} be used \textit{inside} a TikZ picture environment),
+%
+% \item `parameter-allocation' commands (which can be used either inside
+% or outside a TikZ environment); for example, \cmd{\RubikFace..} (for allocating
+% facelet colours), and
+%
+% \item commands which can be used in ordinary text; for example, |\rr{}| (for typesetting
+% certain rotation codes).
+%
+% \end{enumerate}
+% From a functional point of view, however, we can view the Rubik bundle commands as
+% splitting into the following groups:
+% \begin{enumerate}
%
+% \item those that allocate colour
+% to faces, facelets etc., ---these commands all start with \cmd{\Rubik} (for 3x3x3 cubes) or \cmd{\Two}
+% (for 2x2x2 cubes \footnote{Requires the \textsc{rubiktwocube} package}),
+%
+% \item those that % draw ---these commands all start with \cmd{\Draw},
+%
+% \item those that typeset rotation codes or hieroglyphs;
+% ---there are just four of these for 3x3x3 cubes (these commands

+% \label{sec:rubikandtwo}
+%
+% In order to try and keep commands intuitive\,\footnote{This is a tricky problem
+% given the large number of commands, so any feedback or ideas on how to avoid ambiguity,
+% including pruning or revising `bad' commands, is always welcome.}
+% we adopt the convention that
+% the word `Rubik' in a command reflects the fact that the command
+% relates to a 3x3x3 cube (i.e.,~a `Rubik' cube). Similarly, commands which relate
+% to a 2x2x2 cube (a `Two' cube) ---see the \textsc{rubiktwocube} package---
+% use instead the word `Two'.
+% For~example, the commands for drawing a 3x3x3 cube and a 2x2x2 cube from a RU viewpoint
+% are respectively \cmd{\DrawRubikCubeRU} and \cmd{\DrawTwoCubeRU}.
+%
+% Having packages now for both 3x3x3 and 2x2x2 cubes (v5) means we need to be more careful regarding
+% command names, and try to make commands (a)~as intuitive as possible, and (b)~use the
+% same command name format for equivalent 3x3x3 and 2x2x2 commands (as shown in the example above).
+%
+% In keeping with this approach, some commands have had to be renamed.
+% For~example, in this new version we have therefore renamed the
+% earlier \cmd{\DrawFace..} commands $\rightarrow$ \cmd{\DrawRubikFace..}

+%
+%
+% We suggest that the most convenient (and intuitive) approach for drawing
+% cubes or particular faces is to do it in stages, as follows
+% (all these steps are well illustrated in the examples file
+% \texttt{RubikExamples.pdf}):
+%\begin{itemize}
+% \item first, start by setting the colour state of the cube. This can be done using
+% either (a)~a \cmd{\RubikCubeSolved..} or \cmd{\RubikCubeGrey..} command
+% (for defining the whole cube), or (b)~using one or more \cmd{\RubikFace..}
+% commands (for defining parts of faces), or (c)~by imputting a file containing
+% a previously saved colour state\footnote{See the \textsc{rubikrotation} package documentation
+% for details of the \cmd{\SaveRubikState} command; see also the `SaveRubikState' example in the
+% file \texttt{RubikExamples.pdf}.}.
+%
+% \item second, use the \cmd{\RubikRotation}\ command to process a sequence of rotations
+% (remembering that this requires use of the \verb!--shell-escape! command-line option).
+% The \textsc{rubikpatterns} package is a small library of named rotation sequences.
+%
+% \item third, draw the image(s) using \cmd{\DrawRubikCube..} or
+% \cmd{\DrawRubikFace..} commands, plus any TikZ commands
+% (e.g.,~\cmd{\draw} and/or \cmd{\node}) in conjunction with the \cmd{\ShowCube} command.
+% Use the \cmd{\ShowCube} scale factor to adjust the size, and use the \cmd{\ShowCubeF}
+% command to reveal the extent of any \texttt{minipage} whitespace.
+%
+% \item fourth, spacing between graphic elements can be influenced by adjusting either
+% (a)~horizontal whitespace as set by the \cmd{\ShowCube} command, or (b)~using standard
+% \TeX\ spacing commands, e.g.,~\cmd{\quad}, \cmd{\qquad}, \cmd{\hspace..} etc.
+%
+% \item finally, give some thought to using a trailing \verb!%! in commands which are
+% broken across multiple lines (see Section~\ref{sec:trailingpercent}).
+%
+%\end{itemize}
+% With this approach the internal colour state
+% will be updated and processed correctly by all subsequent
+% \cmd{\Draw..} or \cmd{\RubikRotation}\ commands.
+% Note that exchanging the word `\texttt{Rubik}' for the word `\texttt{Two}' in a command will
+% generate the equivalent TwoCube version of the command (see Section~\ref{sec:rubikandtwo}).

-% These commands \cmd{\DrawFlat..}\marg{x}\marg{y} draw a `flat' (square)
-% representation of the current state of a specified face such that its
-% bottom left corner is positioned at ($x$, $y$).
-% They are designed to supplement the \cmd{\DrawRubikCube...} commands and
-% allow hidden faces to be represented.
-% Each command (except \cmd{\DrawFlatFront}) takes two arguments,
-% namely the X-coordinate and Y-coordinate of the bottom left
-% corner of the face. This ($x$,$y$) pair allows the user to position
-% the face.
-%
-% Note that the Y-argument set for the \cmd{\DrawFlatLeft}
-% and \cmd{\DrawFlatRight} commands is not currently actioned
-% (see Section~\ref{sec:drawflatxcommands}).
-% This is because both the \textsc{left} and \textsc{right} faces, as used by the
-% \cmd{\DrawRubikCubeSF} (Semi-Flat) command which incorporates the RU
-% view, require only Y=0. It is anticipated that this (x,y) facility
-% will be fully extended to the left and right forms in a later version.
-%
-% Note also that the \cmd{\DrawFlatFront} command currently takes \textit{no}
-% arguments, since by definition the bottom left corner of this face is
-% always at (0,0), and there seems to be no reason (just now) for
-% this face to have the (x,y) facility.

%
-% \subsection{LayerFace}
-% \label{sec:layerface}
-%
-% While a cube has faces and layers, a layer has a face (the face you are looking
-% at or drawing) and four sides (consisting of the nine side facelets of the
-% associated cubies).
-% The two `Layer' commands described here are intended for drawing final layer
-% configurations from `scratch' without any prior configuration information.
-%
-% Typically, we might wish to show the yellow face in
-% the \textsc{up} position, with or without the associated side faces of the
-% cubies of this layer.
-% Of course, if we already know the rotation history from some initial configuration,
-% it would be much simpler just to invoke the \cmd{\RubikRotation} command and then use the
-% \cmd{\DrawFlatUpSide} command (see Section~\ref{sec:flatcommands}).
-%
+% In the next example we use the \cmd{\DrawRubikFaceUpSide} command to
+% draw the \textsc{up}~face and all its sidebars in a cube having
+% a `solved' WY (White opposite Yellow) configuration.
%
-% \DescribeMacro{\DrawRubikLayerFace}
-% \DescribeMacro{\DrawRubikLayerFaceAll}
-% These two LayerFace commands draw a simple 3x3 face and allocate colours

+% \newline \cmd{\DrawRubikFaceRS} $\equiv$ \cmd{\DrawRubikFaceRightSide}, etc.

-%
-% \DescribeMacro{\DrawRubikLayerSideXYp}
-% LayerSide commands draw the associated side colours of
-% the layer as small rectangular sidebars.
-% The LayerSide command adopts a three-letter XYp \textbf{position} notation
-% where the XY pair define the location (X:[Left \verb!|! Middle \verb!|! Right];
-% Y:[Top \verb!|! Middle \verb!|! Bottom]) of a particular cubie in the layer face,
-% as depicted in Figure~\ref{fig:facenotation}.

-% \end{figure}
-%
-% Since corner cubies have two side faces, the `p' parameter
-% (p:[x\verb!|!y]) is required to denote the directional `position' of
-% the cubie side-face relative to the cubicle XY position
-% (x indicates adjacent along the x-axis, and y indicates adjacent along the y-axis).
-% Since edge cubies have only one side face, the `p' parameter is optional
-% (for consistency), since it is not strictly necessary.
-%
-% \medskip\noindent\textbf{Commands}: \
-% Various different LayerSide commands are available: those for
-% drawing a single colour side bar, and others for facilitating
-% drawing all 12 side bars.
-% For~example, \textit{either} of the following commands
%
-% \begin{quote}
-%\begin{verbatim}

-% \DrawRubikLayerSideT{}{}{}
-% \DrawRubikLayerSideB{}{}{}
-% \DrawRubikLayerSideL{}{}{}
-% \DrawRubikLayerSideR{}{}{}
-%\end{verbatim}
-% \end{quote}
-% where the T and B forms require the colour parameters to be in left-right
-% horizontal order (e.g.,~left, middle, right),
-% while the L and R forms require the colour parameters to be in top-down
-% vertical order (e.g.,~top, middle, bottom).
-% Note that this means that the colour parameters of the L and R commands
-% can (if required) then be positioned intuitively (vertically) as follows:
-% \begin{quote}
-%\begin{verbatim}
-% \DrawRubikLayerSideL{}
-% {}
-% {}
-%\end{verbatim}
-% \end{quote}
-% Extending this idea, the L and R forms are combined in the LR command,
-% which takes six colour arguments ordered in left-right pairs,
-% \begin{quote}
-%\begin{verbatim}
-% \DrawRubikLayerSideLR{}{} {}{} {}{}

+% Its action can be localised by placing the command inside an environment
+% (e.g.,~inside the \verb!\ShowCube! environment).
+% Alternatively, the action of this command can be disabled simply by writing it with an empty
+% argument, e.g.,~\verb!\NoSidebar{}!.
+%
+% This command is designed to facilitate the drawing of so-called
+% OLL (Orientate Last Layer) configurations,
+% which are typically rendered using the yellow face.
+%
+% For~example, the following figure uses the \verb!\DrawRubikFaceUpSide! command to
+% draw the commonly encountered OLL configuration known as the `yellow cross'
+% (the remaining four yellow facelets associated with this layer are shown as sidebars).
+% In this example, we first define the colours for the whole cube (grey), and then
+% redefine the colours for the \textsc{up}~face and its four adjacent faces.
+% Finally we draw the \textsc{up}~face and sidebars; we also show an alternative
+% way of writing the facelet colour codes (ie without using the curly brackets).

+% \subsection[Drawing Sidebars (Cube)]{Cube sidebars \& DrawRubikCubeSidebar commands}
+% \label{sec:sidebarscube}
+%
+%
+%
+%
+% Cube sidebars are drawn adjacent to cube edges which are
+% defined by the two faces forming the edge.
+% Thus the BR (Back-Right) sidebar is placed adjacent to the
+% edge formed by the \textsc{back} and \textsc{right} faces.
+%
+% Since the cube orientation (view direction; RU, RD, LU, LD)
+% determines which sidebars are visible, the command for drawing
+% the sidebar (\texttt{DrawRubikCubeSidebar..}) also needs to
+% incorporate the view direction. The command takes
+% two mandatory arguments: the first is the pair of face codes defining the edge (XX);
+% the second is the view direction, as follows:
+% \begin{quote}
+% \cmd{\DrawRubikCubeSidebarXX}\marg{view direction}
+%
+% \textsc{example:} \verb!\DrawRubikCubeSidebarRB{LD}!
+% \end{quote}
+% Note that the pair of face codes are order \textit{independent},
+% and hence can be written in any order, which makes remembering the commands very easy.
+%
+% Note also that at present commands are only available for the
+% eight sidebars which are parallel to X,Y axes, as these seem
+% to be the most useful.
+%
+% In the following example, we input a previously saved cube state
+% (in the file \texttt{cubestate-A.tex}) and draw the cube and the
+% four main sidebars (BR, BD, FL, FU) visible from the RD view direction.

+% \DescribeMacro{\DrawRubikFlatRight}
+% \DescribeMacro{\DrawRubikFlatFront}
+% \DescribeMacro{\DrawRubikFlatBack}
+% The \cmd{\DrawRubikFlat..}\marg{x}\marg{y} commands draw a `flat' square
+% representation of a specified face, located such that its
+% bottom left corner is positioned at ($x,y$).
+% Each command (except \cmd{\DrawRubikFlatFront}) takes two arguments,
+% namely the X-coordinate and Y-coordinate of the bottom left
+% corner of the face. This ($x,y$) pair allows the user to position
+% the face (see Section~\ref{sec:codedrawrubikflatcommands} for the code).
+%
+% These commands are designed to supplement the \cmd{\DrawRubikCube...} commands and
+% allow hidden faces to be represented.
+%
+% Note also that the \cmd{\DrawRubikFlatFront} command currently takes \textit{no}
+% arguments, since by definition the bottom left corner of this face is
+% always at (0,0), and there seems to be no reason (just now) for
+% this face to have the ($x,y$) facility.
+%
+% \textsc{usage}:\ The following example uses the command \verb!\DrawRubikFlatBack{4}{1}! to
+% append the \textsc{back} face to the side of a 3D cube. Note that since
+% the coordinates of the bottom/back/right corner of the cube rendered by the
+% command \cmd{\DrawRubikCubeRU} is (4,1)
+% (see Section~\ref{sec:coordinates}), we can position the
+% lower/left corner of the \textsc{back} face at this point using the command
+% \verb!\DrawRubikFlatBack{4}{1}! as follows:

+% \label{sec:deprecated}
+%
+%
+% The \cmd{\DrawRubikLayerFace..} and \cmd{\DrawRubikLayerSide..}
+% are now deprecated; they were found to be
+% confusing since (a)~they both drew faces \textit{and} took colour arguments
+% for facelets, and (b)~they did not update the internal colour state of a
+% cube or face---i.e.,~their colouring was simply a local `painting' action
+% without memory.
+% They have both been superseded by the more versatile
+% \cmd{\DrawRubikFace..}\ commands (see Section~\ref{sec:drawrubikfacecommands}).
+%
+% The \cmd{\RubikSide..} commands are also deprecated, since they duplicated
+% some of the function of the \cmd{\RubikFace..}\ commands.
+%
+% The earlier \cmd{\DrawFace..}\ (v4) and \cmd{\DrawFlat..}\ (v3) commands
+% are also deprecated since they lacked the Rubik or Two keyword
+% (see Sections~\ref{sec:rubikandtwo} and \ref{sec:drawrubikfacecommands}).

+% An important feature of the |\ForEachX| command is that it expands its third argument
+% (the list of elements), since this allows the list of elements to be presented as

+% Note that it is not straightforward to place the separator (|#1|) \textit{only between}

+% the |ForEachX| command processes each element in exactly the
+% same way---i.e.,~a comma after the first element (good) means there will be a comma after
+% the final element (bad).
+%
+% We solve this problem by using the |\ifthenelse| command to allow the first element
+% to be processed differently from all the remaining elements. This is because it is easy
+% for \TeX\ to identify the first element of a sequence, but very difficult for it to
+% identify the final element since we generally don't know the number of elements beforehand.
+% Consequently we identify the first element (using the |\xcount|) variable (see above),

-% Internal commands.
-% Full length face SideBars are really multiple instances of
-% single facelet bars,
-% each of which is drawn using one of four internal SideBar
-% commands---one for each of the sides which we shall
-% call Top, Bottom, Left, Right.
-% Each SideBar command takes two arguments: one for facelet position
-% \marg{$ 1 \mid 2 \mid 3$} and one for
-% the colour-code \marg{$ R \mid O \mid Y \mid G \mid B \mid W \mid X $}.
-%
-% \textsc{example}: the following command allocates a colour to a single
-% facelet sidebar on the Left of a Rubik face:
+% There are four \cmd{\side@barX} commands, each with a trailing letter code X, which indicates the
+% position of the sidebar relative to the square face displayed,
+% namely either T (Top), B (Bottom), L (Left) or R (Right)
+% ---see Figure~\ref{fig:facenotation}.
+
+% \cmd{\side@barL}\marg{position-number}\marg{facelet location-code}.
+% Each \cmd{\side@barX} command takes two arguments:
+% The first argument is a number (distance) \marg{$ 1 \mid 2 \mid 3$}
+% from the relevant axis depending on whether it is a vertical or horizontal sidebar
+% (e.g.,~1 = first bar (nearest the origin); 2 = second bar,
+% 3 = third bar).
+%
+% The second argument is the facelet location-code expressed as a command
+% (e.g.,~\cmd{\Lrt}, \cmd{\Dlb} etc. Note that the facelet location
+% uses a three letter code: the first (capital) letter (U, D, L, R, F, B) denotes the \textsc{face};
+% the second (lower-case) letter (l,m,r) is the `x' position in the 3x3 matrix;
+% the third (lower-case) letter (t,m,b) is the `y' position ---see Figure~\ref{fig:facenotation}.
+%
+% \textsc{example}: the following command draws a small single Right sidebar,
+% in the middle position (no.~2), with the colour
+% allocated to the Rlt facelet (left top facelet in the \textsc{right} face.
% \begin{quote}
-% \cmd{\side@barL}\marg{facelet-position}\marg{colour-code}
+% \verb!\side@barR{2}{\Rlt}!
% \end{quote}
-% There are three facelet positions on each of the four sides
-% of a face, and these
-% are numbered 1 to 3 starting from the bottom left corner (1,1).
-% The SideBar command also implements the set (or default)
-% Length (\cmd{\bl}), Width (\cmd{\bw}) and Separation (\cmd{\bs})
+% Notice that we use the command \cmd{\Rlt} as the argument; this is because
+% the command is defined as: \verb!\def{\Rlt}{#1}!, and hence the command gets replaced by the
+% colour-code currently allocated to this particular facelet.
+%
+% There are three small rectangular sidebars on each of the four sides
+% of a 3x3 square face, and these are embedded in a coordinate system with origin
+% at the bottom left corner (0,0) of the square face (see Figure~\ref{fig:facenotation}).
+%
+% The \cmd{\side@bar..} command also implements the set (or default)
+% RubikSidebarLength \cmd{\bl}, RubikSidebarWidth \cmd{\bw}
+% and RubikSidebarSep \cmd{\bs} (separation)
% values mentioned above. \cmd{\blh} = Half \cmd{\bl} = \cmd{\bl}/2.
% Note that the TikZ \cmd{\pgfmathsetmacro} commands (which do the maths)
-% must be inside the TeX sidebar command in order to work.
-% The start point of the TikZ \cmd{\draw} command for each bar rectangle
-% is bottom Left corner of the bar =(\cmd{\dx},\cmd{\dy})

+% This idea was suggested by Robert Ma\v{r}\'{\i}k (May 2017) ---see Section~\ref{sec:nosidebar}.

+% inside the \cmd{\side@bar..} commands (see below)

+% \subsection{Sidebars (Cube)}
+% \label{sec:sidebarscubecode}
+%
+%
+% In order to position sidebars adjacent to a Rubik Cube (ie in 3D)
+% requires that we first make some new \cmd{\side@bar..}
+% commands for drawing sidebars adjacent to the \textsc{back} face of the cube
+% (we have already made the macros for the front
+% face sidebars---see Section~\ref{sec:sidebarcode}).
+% Furthermore, these new macros need to be tailored to each of the
+% four standard cube viewing directions RU, LU, RD, LD.
+%
+% Finally, the USER commands for drawing these sidebars need
+% to accommodate (a)~some code for identifying each set of sidebars,
+% and (b)~the viewing direction. So, for example, a USER command for
+% drawing the sidebars associated with the cube edge formed
+% by the \textsc{right} face and the \textsc{back} face
+% (lets define this as the RB sidebar) as viewed from the RU direction,
+% might be something like \cmd{\DrawRubikCubeSidebarRBRU}.
+% Since this is not particularly user-friendly,
+% we can improve on this slightly for the USER by
+% (a)~defining the sidebar as \texttt{SidebarRB}, and
+% (b)~appending the view direction in a curly bracket, say as \verb!{RU}!.
+% This allows a more intuitive command structure for the USER,
+% as follows: \verb!\DrawRubikCubeSidebarRB{RU}!.
+% We then use the \cmd{\@join} command to append the string \verb!RU! to the string
+% \verb!DrawRubicCubeSidebarRB! forming the (internal)
+% command \cmd{\DrawRubicCubeSidebarRBRU}.
+%
+% In the following we will group the code according to to the view
+% direction (RU, LU, RD, LD).
+%

+% argument `B', i.e.~$\rightarrow$ \rr{Bwp} (see Section~\ref{sec:coderotationBwp}).
+% Users are then able to access this glyph by typing the command \verb!\rrBwp!, or,
+% more intuitively, \verb!\rr{Bwp}!
+% (see also \verb!\@join! detailed in Section~\ref{sec:cmdsusingjoin}).
+%
+% The \cmd{\@xyz..} commands are used to generate the
% x, y, z, u, d, l, r, f, b commands and their associated prime rotation commands.
+% The commands \verb!\@xyzhbdfl! and \verb!\@xyzbdflRubik! relate to the
+% axis rotations denoted as b, d, f, l; since these four letters have long upstrokes
+% they require special fine-tuning for vertical position.
+%
% The \cmd{\@SquareLetter} command is used to form the separate square hieroglyph form
% used for rotations with no visible representation from the front
% (e.g.,~B.., Fs, Fsp, Fa, Fap, S, Sp, Sf, Sfp, Sb, Sbp).
+% Note that the TikZ `thick' line code = 0.8pt (used in \cmd{\@SquareLetter}).
% The \cmd{\@hRubik} is the vertical shift used to raise the box carrying the rotation
% rotation-code in \cmd{\Rubik..} commands not visible from the front.

+% \section{Introduction}
+%
+% The \rubiktwocube\ package (part of the \textsc{rubik} `bundle') provides a
+% collection of \LaTeX\ commands
+% and macros for typesetting Rubik 2x2x2 cube configurations using the
+% PGF/TikZ graphic languages.
+% This package is a minor extension of the \textsc{rubikcube} package, and users are
+% therefore assumed to be familiar with both the \textsc{rubikcube} and \textsc{rubikrotation}
+% packages. For examples of use see the file \texttt{rubikexamples.pdf}.
+%
+%
+% \subsection{Requirements}
+%
+% The \rubiktwocube\ package requires the TikZ package (since it makes
+% use of the TikZ picture environment), and also the
+% \textsc{rubikcube} package.
+%
+% For full functionality the complementary packages \textsc{rubikrotation} and
+% \textsc{rubikpatterns} also need to be loaded.
+% Note that the \textsc{rubikrotation} package requires Perl to be installed.
+% See the `Installation' section in the \textsc{rubikcube} package documentation
+% (\texttt{rubikcube.pdf}) for more details.

+%
+%
+% \section{Installation}
+%
+% The Rubik bundle consists of the four packages \textsc{rubikcube}, \textsc{rubikrotation},
+% \textsc{rubikpatterns} and \textsc{rubiktwocube}.
+%
+% Here we describe only the installation of the \textsc{rubiktwocube} package,
+% which consists of the following files:
+%\begin{verbatim}
+% rubiktwocube.ins
+% rubiktwocube.dtx
+% rubiktwocube.pdf --documentation of the rubiktwocube package
+% rubiktwo-doc-figA.pdf
+%\end{verbatim}
+% Before installing the \textsc{rubiktwocube} package make sure the following packages
+% are already installed (TikZ graphics system and the \textsc{rubikcube} package).
+%
+%
+% \subsection{\texttt{rubiktwocube.sty}}
+%
+% The style option \texttt{rubiktwocube.sty} is generated by running (pdf)\LaTeX\ on
+% the file \texttt{rubiktwocube.ins} as follows:
+%\begin{verbatim}
+% pdflatex rubiktwocube.ins
+%\end{verbatim}
+%
+%
+% \subsection{\texttt{rubiktwocube.pdf}}
+%
+% The documentation file (\texttt{rubiktwocube.pdf}) is then generated using the following
+% steps\,\footnote{Several pdflatex runs are required, since the documentation includes
+% an index as well as hyperef links (the package \texttt{hypdoc}
+% is used). Prior to the first run it is
+% a good idea to delete any relevant \texttt{.toc}, \texttt{.aux}, \texttt{.out} files.}:
+%\begin{verbatim}
+% pdflatex rubiktwocube.dtx
+% pdflatex rubiktwocube.dtx
+% makeindex -s gind.ist rubiktwocube
+% makeindex -s gglo.ist -o rubiktwocube.gls rubiktwocube.glo
+% pdflatex rubiktwocube.dtx
+% pdflatex rubiktwocube.dtx
+%\end{verbatim}
+%
+%
+% \subsection{Placing the files}
+%
+% Place the files either in the local working directory, or where your system
+% will find them. For a Linux system with a standard \TeX\ Directory Structure (TDS), then:
+%
+%\medskip
+%{\noindent}*.sty $\rightarrow$
+% \texttt{/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/rubik/}
+%{\newline}*.pdf $\rightarrow$ \texttt{/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/doc/rubik/}
+%
+% \medskip
+% {\noindent}Finally, (depending on your system) update the \TeX\ file database.
+% For~example, on a Linux system one uses the \texttt{texhash} command.
+%
+%
+% \subsection{Usage}
+%
+% Load the package by using the command \cmd{\usepackage\{rubiktwocube\}}.
+% Note that the \rubiktwocube\ package requires the TikZ package, and so always load TikZ
+% before \rubiktwocube\ as follows:
+% \begin{quote}
+%\begin{verbatim}
+% \usepackage{tikz}
+% \usepackage{rubikcube,rubikrotation,rubikpatterns,rubiktwocube}
+%\end{verbatim}
+% \end{quote}
+%
+%
+%
+% \subsection{\texttt{rubikexamples.pdf}}
+%
+% The Rubik bundle includes a `RubikExamples' file (\texttt{rubikexamples.pdf})
+% as well as associated \texttt{.sh} (Linux) and \texttt{.bat} (Microsoft) batch
+% files which can be used to facilitate processing the source file (\texttt{rubikexamples.tex}).
+% See the `Installation' section in the \textsc{rubikcube} package documentation
+% (\texttt{rubikcube.pdf}) for details regarding processing the examples source file.
+%
+%
+%
+% \pagebreak
+%
+% \section{Command conventions}
+% \label{sec:conventions}
+%
+% The examples given in the file \texttt{rubikexamples.pdf} present a good overview of
+% the commands and how to use them.
+%
+%
+%
+% \subsection[Keywords Two and Rubik]{The keywords Two and Rubik in commands}
+%
+% In order to try and keep commands intuitive\,\footnote{This is a tricky problem
+% given the large number of commands, so any feedback or ideas on how to avoid ambiguity,
+% including pruning or revising `bad' commands, is always welcome.}
+% we adopt the convention that the word `Two' in a command reflects the fact that
+% the command relates to a 2x2x2 cube (a `Two' cube). Similarly, commands which relate
+% to a 3x3x3 cube (a `Rubik' cube) ---see the \textsc{rubikcube} package---
+% use instead the word `Rubik'.
+%
+%
+%
+% It is assumed that users are familiar with the \textsc{rubikcube}
+% and \textsc{rubikrotation} packages, since virtually all \rubiktwocube\
+% commands mirror the Rubik (3x3x3) cube commands, such that the word `Rubik'
+% is replaced by the word `Two' (exceptions are highlighted).
+% For example, the commands for drawing a 2x2x2 cube and a 3x3x3 cube from a RU viewpoint
+% are respectively \cmd{\DrawTwoCubeRU} and \cmd{\DrawRubikCubeRU}.
+% The examples given in the file \texttt{rubikexamples.pdf} present a good overview of
+% the commands and how to use them.
+%
+% For more detailed information see (a)~the `code' section (Section~\ref{sec:thecode}),
+% or (b)~see the equivalent 3x3x3 commands in the \textsc{rubikcube} package.

+% \section{The code}
+% \label{sec:thecode}
+%
+% All the 2x2x2 code here is essentially a cut-down version of the
+% 3x3x3 code (\textsc{rubikcube} package); i.e.,~we have mostly just
+% removed the 3x3x3 code relating to middle columns and rows, exchanged the
+% word `Rubik' for the word `Two' in command names, and refashioned some of the commands
+% involved in writing the temporary file \texttt{rubikstate.dat}.
+% We assume that users are familiar with the \textsc{rubikcube} and
+% \textsc{rubikrotation} package documentation.
+%
+% In order to avoid much repetition, we describe here only the
+% essential details for understanding the relatively minor changes made in order to
+% transform the earlier 3x3x3 \textsc{rubikcube} package code into
+% working 2x2x2 code. In the following, the various instances of the
+% heading `\textsc{changes:}' imply that more extensive details will be found
+% with the equivalent `Rubik' commands in the \textsc{rubikcube} or \textsc{rubikrotation}
+% package documentation.
+%
+% Relatively few 2x2x2 square hieroglyphs are required; some needed
+% reformulating from their 3x3x3 cousins, ie those associated
+% with \texttt{L,\,Lp,\,R,\,Rp,\,U,\,Up,\,D,\,Dp}.
+% The axis rotations and the rotations \texttt{F,\,Fp,\,B,\,Bp} simply required
+% renaming; for~example, as a `TwoRotationHieroglyph' (\cmd{\trh..}) instead of
+% the 3x3x3 `RubikRotationHieroglyph (\cmd{\rrh..}).
+%
+%
+%
+%
+% \subsection{Package heading}
+%
+% The `RTC' in the following refers to the package name RubikTwoCube.
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+%<*rubiktwocube>
+\def\RTCfileversion{5.0}%
+\def\RTCfiledate{2018/02/25}% February 25, 2018
+\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
+\ProvidesPackage{rubiktwocube}[\RTCfiledate\space (v\RTCfileversion)]
+% \end{macrocode}
+% The package requires TikZ (we use the pgfmathsetmacro command)
+% ---so we load it if not already loaded.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\@ifpackageloaded{tikz}{}{%
+ \typeout{---rubiktwocube requires the TikZ package.}%
+ \RequirePackage{tikz}}%
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+%
+%
+% {\noindent}The package requires \texttt{rubikcube.sty}. However \texttt{rubikcube.sty}
+% is not automatically loaded (for the moment at least) since this makes it difficult
+% to errorcheck new versions, so we just write a message.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\@ifpackageloaded{rubikcube}{}{%
+ \typeout{---rubiktwocube requires the rubikcube package.}%
+ }%
+\@ifpackageloaded{rubikrotation}{}{%
+ \typeout{---rubiktwocube requires the rubikrotation package.}%
+ }%
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\rubiktwocube}
+% First we create a suitable logo
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\newcommand{\rubiktwocube}{\textsc{rubiktwocube}}%
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+%
+%
+%
+% \subsection{Saving the Two-cube state}
+% \label{sec:codesavingtwostate}
+%
+% Note that this package writes this state data to the same `output' file
+% (\texttt{rubikstate.dat}) as used by the 3x3x3 \textsc{rubikrotation} package,
+% since there is no need to change this (since the TwoCube corners will be processed in
+% exactly the same way as for 3x3x3 cube corners).
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\@printTWOstate}
+% This internal command writes the TwoCube state data to
+% the `output' file \texttt{rubikstate.dat}, and is used by the \cmd{\TwoRotation} command
+% (see also \textsc{rubikrotation} package documentation Sections on \textit{save rubikstate}
+% and \textit{general overview} for further details).
+% The file \texttt{rubikstate.dat} is read by the Perl script, and represents
+% the state on which the \cmd{\TwoRotation} command acts.
+%
+% \textsc{changes}: Since this is a TwoCube all the non-corner facelets
+% (ie those in middle rows \& columns) are filled with X (grey).
+% We have also introduced a new line in the output file (\texttt{rubikstate.dat})
+% namely \texttt{cubesize,two} which is used to inform the Perl program that we
+% are dealing with a TwoCube.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\newcommand{\@printTWOstate}{%
+ \@print{cubesize,two}%
+ \@print{\space \space up,\Ult,\Umt,\Urt,\Ulm,\Umm,\Urm,\Ulb,\Umb,\Urb}%
+ \@print{down,\Dlt,\Dmt,\Drt,\Dlm,\Dmm,\Drm,\Dlb,\Dmb,\Drb}%
+ \@print{left,\Llt,\Lmt,\Lrt,\Llm,\Lmm,\Lrm,\Llb,\Lmb,\Lrb}%
+ \@print{right,\Rlt,\Rmt,\Rrt,\Rlm,\Rmm,\Rrm,\Rlb,\Rmb,\Rrb}%
+ \@print{front,\Flt,\Fmt,\Frt,\Flm,\Fmm,\Frm,\Flb,\Fmb,\Frb}%
+ \@print{back,\Blt,\Bmt,\Brt,\Blm,\Bmm,\Brm,\Blb,\Bmb,\Brb}%
+}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+%
+%
+%
+% \subsection{SaveTwoState command}
+% \label{sec:codesavetwostate}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\SaveTwoState}
+% We create a TwoCube version of the existing \cmd{\SaveRubikState} command
+% (\textsc{rubikrotation} package), simply for symmetry and convenience.
+% This command is identical to the `Rubik' version, and will require
+% the \textsc{rubikrotation} package to be loaded already (as does the following
+% \cmd{\TwoRotation} command.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\newcommand{\SaveTwoState}{\SaveRubikState}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+%
+%
+%
+% \subsection{TwoRotation command}
+% \label{sec:codetworotation}
+%
+% Note that this command writes the data to the same file
+% (\texttt{rubikstate.dat}) as that output by the equivalent 3x3x3
+% \cmd{\RubikRotation} command, since there is no need to change this.
+%
+% Note that although the system works perfectly well even if we just continue to use the
+% 3x3x3 \cmd{\RubikRotation} command, it was felt appropriate to implement a special
+% TwoCube version of this command, since this allows the Perl script to be aware
+% (via the \texttt{cubesize,two} line written to the \texttt{rubikstate.dat} file)
+% which sort of cube it is dealing with, and hence allows the option for the program to
+% adjust its action accordingly (for example, with regard to the randomisation procedure
+% which is different for different cubes).
+%
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\TwoRotation}
+% The \cmd{\TwoRotation}\oarg{integer}\marg{comma separated sequence}
+% command (a)~writes the current TwoCube state to the file \texttt{rubikstate.dat},
+% (b)~writes the rotation sequence (either once or multiple times depending
+% on the value of the optional integer argument), and then (c)~CALLs the
+% Perl script \texttt{rubikrotation.pl}. It~also writes comments to the
+% data file and also to the log file.
+%
+% The way we allow the user to (optionally) process the main argument multiple
+% times is simply by writing the associated output command multiple
+% times to the output data-file. Consequently, we require the \cmd{\TwoRotation}
+% command to allow a square-bracket optional
+% argument (a non-negative integer) to specify the number of such repeats.
+%
+% \textsc{2x2x2 changes}: (1)~We have replaced `Rubik' by `Two' in the command-name
+% (2)~we use the command \cmd{\@printTWOstate} (see above) to write the current state data,
+% (3)~the \texttt{RTC} in the fileversion and filedate names denotes `RubikTwoCube'.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\newcommand{\TwoRotation}[2][1]{%
+ \typeout{---TeX process}%
+ \typeout{---script = TwoRotation cmd (rubiktwocube.sty)%
+ v\RTCfileversion\space (\RTCfiledate)}%
+ \typeout{---NEW rotation command}%
+ \typeout{---command = TwoRotation[#1]{#2}}%
+ \typeout{---writing current TWOcube state to file rubikstate.dat}%
+ \@openstatefile% open data file
+ \@print{\@comment filename: rubikstate.dat}%

+ \input{rubikstateNEW.dat}%
+ \typeout{-----------------------------------------}%
+ }
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+% As usual we require the \texttt{--shell-escape} command-line option to be used.
+% This is provided by the \textsf{shellesc} package, and is equivalent
+% to \cmd{\immediate}\cmd{\write18}.
+% In the future we may need to replace the \verb!\immediate\write18! with \verb!\ShellEscape!
+% ---see the \textsf{shellesc} package documentation.

+% \subsection{Sidebars (Face)}
+% \label{sec:sidebarsfacecode}
+%
+%
+% Making sidebar macros for a TwoCube (converting the 3x3x3x versions
+% to the 2x2x2 versions).
+% {\newline} (1) change name $\rightarrow$ \verb!TWOside@barX!
+% {\newline} (2) change the value \verb!(3 + \bs)! $\rightarrow$ \verb!(2 + \tbs)!
+% (as only two squares on a side).
+% {\newline} (3) change the Sidebar length parameter names by adding a \cmd{\t} prefix
+% to distinguish the TwoCube parameters from those of the RubikCube. Thus we change
+% the Rubik names (\cmd{\dx}, \cmd{\dy}, \cmd{\bw}, \cmd{\bl}, \cmd{\blh}, \cmd{\bs})
+% to their equivalent Two names (\cmd{\tdx}, \cmd{\tdy}, \cmd{\tbw}, \cmd{\tbl},
+% \cmd{\tblh}, \cmd{\tbs}).
+%
+% The coordinates of the bottom left corner of a TwoSidebar are (\cmd{\tdx}, \cmd{\tdy}).
+% The other parameters are width (\cmd{\tbw}), length (\cmd{\tbl}),
+% half length (\cmd{\tblh}), separation (\cmd{\tbs}).
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\TwoSidebarWidth}
+% \begin{macro}{\TwoSidebarLength}
+% \begin{macro}{\TwoSidebarSep}
+% These commands set the width, length and separation of the Sidebars.
+% Each takes a single scalar argument (no units).
+% \newline\textsc{usage}: \cmd{\TwoSidebarWidth}\marg{0.5}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\newcommand{\TwoSidebarWidth}[1]{\pgfmathsetmacro{\tbw}{#1}}
+\newcommand{\TwoSidebarLength}[1]{\pgfmathsetmacro{\tbl}{#1}}
+\newcommand{\TwoSidebarSep}[1]{\pgfmathsetmacro{\tbs}{#1}}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% We first set some default values. We have set the Sidebar
+% width and separation to 2/3 those of the Rubik 3x3x3 values
+% (so that when a 3x3x3 cube and a 2x2x2 cube
+% are scaled to be the same size, then the Sidebar width and sep will be the same)
+% These also seem to look good generally as well.
+% Of course, users can adjust these as they wish anyway. Any new values will
+% will of course act globally unless constrained (either by using curley brackets, or
+% by writing them into a \TeX\ environment).
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\TwoSidebarWidth{0.2}
+\TwoSidebarLength{1.0}
+\TwoSidebarSep{0.2}
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\NoSidebar}
+% This command \cmd{\NoSidebar}\marg{colour code} (defined in the \textsc{rubikcube} package)
+% defines the colour for which sidebars should \textit{not} be drawn
+% (particularly useful when drawing OLL configurations).
+% This idea was suggested by Robert Ma\v{r}\'{\i}k (May 2017).
+% {\newline}The principle is that we let the command \cmd{\NoSidebar} define a face colour,
+% and then we use the \verb!\ifthenelse{\equal{#2}{\no@sidebar}}{}{...}! structure to either
+% (a)~draw all sidebars as usual (if \cmd{\NoSidebar} is undefined),
+% or (b)~draw all sidebars \textit{except} those having the \cmd{\NoSidebar} colour
+% (if \cmd{\NoSidebar} colour = \verb!#2!).
+% \newline\textsc{usage}: \verb!\NoSidebar{X}! \ If this command in \textit{not} inside
+% an environment, then its action will continue until it is cancelled (undefined)
+% as follows: \verb!\NoSidebar{}!.
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% \medskip
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\TWOside@barL}
+% \begin{macro}{\TWOside@barR}
+% \begin{macro}{\TWOside@barT}
+% \begin{macro}{\TWOside@barB}
+
+% These commands \cmd{\TWOside@barX}\marg{position no}\marg{facelet location} (where
+% X is one of L~(Left), R~(Right), T~(Top), B~(Bottom), which denote the side of the
+% 2x2 square representing a face), draw a single small bar in a position (1, or 2),
+% having the colour of a specified facelet. The integers 1, 2 denote the facelet number
+% (measured from the grid origin = bottom left corner of the face)
+% adjacent to which the bar is positioned.
+%
+% These macros are used in the various `Sidebar' commands which draw pairs of

+%
+% Only 2 bars on each side for a TwoCube.
+% Change from 3x3x3: we remove the middle cols \& row sections
+% change name DrawRubikLayerSide --> DrawTwoLayerSide
+%
+% RWDN 16 Feb 2018
+% v5: removed many (duplicated and unnecessary) macros, and replaced them
+% with these TwoFace.. macros using just the basic \cmd{\TWOside@bar..} macros
+% for drawing small single bars.
+%
+% These new macros draw a specified face (using the ..Flat.. commands)
+% as well as all the associated sidebars.
+% Note we continue to use the key-word `Side' here to indicate we are
+% drawing all the sidebars, since we are drawing a face.
+% (only for 3D cubes do we use the word `SidebarXX' for denoting a particular
+% Sidebar to be drawn etc.)

+% \subsection{Sidebars (Cube)}
+% \label{sec:sidebarscubecode}
+%
+%
+% In order to position sidebars adjacent to a TwoCube (ie in 3D)
+% requires that we first make some new \cmd{\TWOside@bar..}
+% commands which draw sidebars adjacent to the \textsc{back} face
+% (we have already made the macros for the front
+% face sidebars---see Section~\ref{sec:sidebarsfacecode}).
+% Furthermore, these new macros need to be tailored to each of the
+% four standard cube viewing directions RU, LU, RD, LD.
+%
+% Finally, the USER commands for drawing these sidebars need
+% to accommodate (a)~some code for identifying each set of sidebars,
+% and (b)~the viewing direction. So, for example, a USER command for
+% drawing the sidebars associated with the cube edge formed
+% by the \textsc{right} face and the \textsc{back} face
+% (lets define this as the RB sidebar) as viewed from the RU direction,
+% might be something like \cmd{\DrawTwoCubeSidebarRBRU}.
+% Since this is not particularly user-friendly,
+% we can improve on this slightly for the USER by
+% (a)~defining the sidebar as \texttt{SidebarRB}, and
+% (b)~appending the view direction in a curly bracket, say as \verb!{RU}!.
+% This allows a more intuitive command structure for the USER,
+% as follows: \verb!\DrawTwoCubeSidebarRB{RU}!.
+% We then use the \cmd{\@join} command to append the string \verb!RU! to the string
+% \verb!DrawTwoCubeSidebarRB! forming the (internal)
+% command \cmd{\DrawTwoCubeSidebarRBRU}.
+%
+% In the following we will group the development according to to the view direction.
+%
+%
+%
+% \subsubsection{Sidebars: RU view}
+%
+% \subsubsection*{Right-Back vert sidebar (RU view)}
+%
+% Need to write a new \cmd{\TWOside@barR..} command
+% (see Section~\ref{sec:sidebarsfacecode}).
+% This draws only a single small bar.
+% Each of the two small bars has a numbered position (1,2);
+% (dx,dy) = bottom Left corner of single bar
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\newcommand{\TWOside@barRbackRU}[2]{%
+ %% #1 = cubie possn no, #2 = colour
+ %% tdx --> tdx + (2/3)

+ \ifthenelse{\equal{#2}{\no@sidebar}}{}{%
+ \pgfmathsetmacro{\tblh}{\tbl*(0.5)}%

+ -- (\tdx+\tbw,\tdy+\tbl) -- (\tdx+\tbw,\tdy) -- cycle;%
+}}

+% Now make the RB (RightBack) vertical sidebar command;
+% ie bar~1 is at the bottom; bar~2 is at the top.
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\newcommand{\DrawTwoCubeSidebarRBRU}{%
+ \TWOside@barRbackRU{2}{\Blt}%

+% \subsection{\hspace{3mm}Hieroglyphs}
+% \label{sec:codehieroglyphs}
+%
+% Not many changes to make (from rubikcube sty). In general we try to
+% keep things fairly intuitive by changing Rubik $\rightarrow$ Two,
+% and changing r $\rightarrow$ t.
+% Note that since this package uses a lot of commands defined in the
+% \texttt{rubikcube} package, eg the `join' utility and the rubikfont,
+% consequently rubikcube sty needs to be loaded when running this package.
+%
+% We only need to make significant changes to the
+% following hieroglyphs: L,R,U,D,Lp,Rp,Up,Dp.
+%
+% Unchanged are: axis rotations (eg Rc) and letter rotations (eg B),
+% so these hieroglyphs just need newdefs making for them;
+% eg trF $\leftarrow$ rrF, etc
+%
+% We need to rename some of the `square' furniture associated with the L,R,U,D etc face
+% rotation hieroglyphs: for example, the D heiroglyph requires the following:
+%{\newline} change rr $\rightarrow$ tr
+%{\newline} change SquareD $\rightarrow$ SquaretD
+%{\newline} change RubikD $\rightarrow$ TwoD
+%{\newline} change textRubikD $\rightarrow$ textTwoD
+%
+% For a TWOcube we only need to make two lines in a square;
+% ie we want to shift the top line down/sideways
+% and shift the bottom line up/sideways by
+% an amount which makes the final position = 1/3 of the square.
+% Since the top and bottom lines (and also the left and right lines)
+% are at 0.25 unit,
+% then the extra distance = 0.25/3 = 0.0833;
+% so for horiz lines we add/subtract @ty, and
+% for vertical lines we add/subtract @tx.
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\@tx}
+% \begin{macro}{\@ty}
+%\begin{macrocode}
+\pgfmathsetmacro{\@tx}{0.0833}
+\pgfmathsetmacro{\@ty}{0.0833}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% We continue to use the rubikfont.
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\@tr}
+% \begin{macro}{\@trp}
+% \begin{macrocode}

+\newcommand{\@trp}[1]{{\@rubikfont #1\@rubikprime}}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% We need to rename the basic `join' commands: ie change Rubik $\rightarrow$ Two, and
+% change r $\rightarrow$ t, as follows:
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\tr}
+% \begin{macro}{\trh}
+% \begin{macro}{\Two}
+% \begin{macro}{\textTwo}
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\newcommand*{\tr}[1]{\@join{\tr}{#1}}
+\newcommand*{\trh}[1]{\@join{\trh}{#1}}
+\newcommand*{\Two}[1]{\@join{\Two}{#1}}

+%
+%
+% \subsubsection{\hspace{3mm}Rotation D}
+% \label{sec:coderotationD}
+%
+% We need to rename some of the items as follows:
+%{\newline} change rr $\rightarrow$ tr
+%{\newline} change SquareD $\rightarrow$ SquaretD
+%{\newline} change RubikD $\rightarrow$ TwoD
+%{\newline} change textRubikD $\rightarrow$ textTwoD
+%

+% These commands all draw forms which denote the D rotation.
+%
+% Feb 2017 (RWDN): \ added the \cmd{\@tlen} length to the \cmd{\trhD} command to improve the
+% spacing between two `arrow' square hieroglyphs; and also removed the terminal \cmd{\,}
+% space. The same changes were made to all the `arrow' hieroglyphs.
