%
% \begin{abstract}
% Since version 1.40 \pdfTeX\ supports several color stacks.
% This package uses them to fix color problems in
% package \xpackage{parcolumns}.
% \end{abstract}
%
% \tableofcontents
%
% \section{Usage}
%
% \begin{quote}
% |\usepackage{pdfcolparcolumns}|
% \end{quote}
% The package \xpackage{pdfcolparcolumns} loads package \xpackage{parcolums}
% \cite{parcolumns}. If color stacks are available then the
% macros of \xpackage{parcolumns} are patched to add support
% for color stacks.
%
% \subsection{Option \xoption{rulebetweencolor}}
%
% Package \xpackage{pdfcolparcolumns} also fixes the color for the
% rule between columns (if \xoption{rulebetween} is set).
% Default color is \cs{normalcolor}. But this can be changed by using
% option \xoption{rulebetweencolor}. It takes a color specification
% as value. If the value is empty, then the default (\cs{normalcolor})
% is used.
% Examples:
% \begin{quote}
%   |rulebetweencolor=blue|,\\
%   |rulebetweencolor={red}|,\\
%   |rulebetweencolor={}|, \textit{\% \cs{normalcolor} is used}\\
%   |rulebetweencolor=[rgb]{1,0,.5}| \textit{\% see below}
% \end{quote}
% If used inside the optional argument of environment \textsf{parcolumns}
% and the value contains an optional argument, then whole value
% must be put in curly braces:
%\begin{quote}
%\begin{verbatim}
%\begin{parcolumns}[
%  rulebetween,
%  rulebetweencolor={[rgb]{1,0,.5}},
%]{2}
%  ...
%\end{parcolumns}
%\end{verbatim}
%\end{quote}
% This option \xoption{rulebetweencolor} can also be set using
% \cs{setkeys}:
%\begin{quote}
%\begin{verbatim}
%\setkeys{parcolumns}{rulebetweencolor=green}
%\end{verbatim}
%\end{quote}
%
% \subsection{Future}
%
% Currently package \xpackage{parcolumns} does not seem to be
% maintained. Nevertheless if there will be a new version that
% adds support for color stacks, then this package may become
% obsolete.

%
% \subsection{Load packages}
%
% \subsubsection{Package \xpackage{parcolumns}}
%
%    Currently package \xpackage{parcolumns} does not define options.
%    Thus it is just a precaution that the options of
%    package \xpackage{pdfcolparcolumns} are passed to
%    package \xpackage{parcolumns}.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareOption*{%
  \PassoptionsToPackage{\CurrentOption}{parcolumns}%

% \subsubsection{Package \xpackage{pdfcol}}
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\RequirePackage{pdfcol}[2007/09/09]
\ifpdfcolAvailable
\else
  \PackageInfo{pdfcolparcolumns}{%
    Loading aborted, because color stacks are not available%
  }%

% \subsubsection{Package \xpackage{infwarerr}}
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\RequirePackage{infwarerr}[2007/09/09]
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \subsection{Color stack macros}
%
%    \begin{macro}{\pcpc@MaxStack}
%    Macro \cs{pcpc@MaxStack} holds the highest number of
%    allocated stacks.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\global\chardef\pcpc@MaxStack=\z@
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}
%    \begin{macro}{\pcpc@InitStacks}
%    Macro \cs{pcpc@InitStacks} takes the number of columns
%    as argument and ensures that there are enough color
%    stacks for all columns.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\pcpc@InitStacks#1{%
  \ifnum#1>\pcpc@MaxStack
    \begingroup
      \count@\pcpc@MaxStack
      \loop
        \advance\count@\@ne
        \pdfcolInitStack{pcpc@\the\count@}%
      \ifnum#1>\count@
      \repeat
      \global\chardef\pcpc@MaxStack=\count@
    \endgroup
  \fi
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}
%
%    \begin{macro}{\pcpc@SwitchStack}
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\pcpc@SwitchStack#1{%
  \pdfcolSwitchStack{pcpc@\number#1}%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}
%
%    \begin{macro}{\pcpc@SetCurrent}
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\pcpc@SetCurrent#1{%
  \pdfcolSetCurrent{pcpc@\number#1}%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}
%
% \subsection{Patches}
%
%     Now the color stack macros are patched into the macros
%     of package \xpackage{parcolumns}.
%
% \subsubsection{Init stacks}
%
%    \cs{pcpc@InitStacks} should go into the definition of
%    environment |parcolumns|. \cs{pc@alloccolumns} is executed
%    there and nowhere else, thus we hook into it.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\g@addto@macro\pc@alloccolumns{%
  \pcpc@InitStacks\pc@columncount
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \subsubsection{Switch stack}
%
%    \cs{pcpc@SwitchStack} should be called by marco \cs{colchunk@}.
%    However it is easier to patch \cs{pc@setcolumnwidth} that
%    is executed in \cs{colchunk@} only.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\g@addto@macro\pc@setcolumnwidth{%
  \pcpc@SwitchStack\pc@columnctr
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \subsubsection{Set current stack color}
%
%    \cs{pcpc@SetCurrent} is set at the begin of each line.
%    It must be inserted into \cs{pc@placeboxes}. Unhappily
%    there is no easy way. Therefore we check and
%    redefine \cs{pc@placeboxes}.

% \section{Installation}
%
% \subsection{Download}
%
% \paragraph{Package.} This package is available on
% CTAN\footnote{\CTANpkg{pdfcolparcolumns}}:
% \begin{description}
% \item[\CTAN{macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/pdfcolparcolumns.dtx}] The source file.
% \item[\CTAN{macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/pdfcolparcolumns.pdf}] Documentation.
% \end{description}
%
%
% \paragraph{Bundle.} All the packages of the bundle `oberdiek'
% are also available in a TDS compliant ZIP archive. There
% the packages are already unpacked and the documentation files
% are generated. The files and directories obey the TDS standard.
% \begin{description}
% \item[\CTANinstall{install/macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek.tds.zip}]
% \end{description}
% \emph{TDS} refers to the standard ``A Directory Structure
% for \TeX\ Files'' (\CTANpkg{tds}). Directories
% with \xfile{texmf} in their name are usually organized this way.
%
% \subsection{Bundle installation}
%
% \paragraph{Unpacking.} Unpack the \xfile{oberdiek.tds.zip} in the
% TDS tree (also known as \xfile{texmf} tree) of your choice.
% Example (linux):
% \begin{quote}
%   |unzip oberdiek.tds.zip -d ~/texmf|
% \end{quote}
%
% \subsection{Package installation}
%
% \paragraph{Unpacking.} The \xfile{.dtx} file is a self-extracting
% \docstrip\ archive. The files are extracted by running the
% \xfile{.dtx} through \plainTeX:
% \begin{quote}
%   \verb|tex pdfcolparcolumns.dtx|
% \end{quote}
%
% \paragraph{TDS.} Now the different files must be moved into
% the different directories in your installation TDS tree
% (also known as \xfile{texmf} tree):

% If you have a \xfile{docstrip.cfg} that configures and enables \docstrip's
% TDS installing feature, then some files can already be in the right
% place, see the documentation of \docstrip.
%
% \subsection{Refresh file name databases}
%
% If your \TeX~distribution
% (\TeX\,Live, \mikTeX, \dots) relies on file name databases, you must refresh
% these. For example, \TeX\,Live\ users run \verb|texhash| or
% \verb|mktexlsr|.
%
% \subsection{Some details for the interested}
%
% \paragraph{Unpacking with \LaTeX.}
% The \xfile{.dtx} chooses its action depending on the format:
% \begin{description}
% \item[\plainTeX:] Run \docstrip\ and extract the files.
% \item[\LaTeX:] Generate the documentation.
% \end{description}
% If you insist on using \LaTeX\ for \docstrip\ (really,
% \docstrip\ does not need \LaTeX), then inform the autodetect routine
% about your intention:
% \begin{quote}
%   \verb|latex \let\install=y\input{pdfcolparcolumns.dtx}|
% \end{quote}
% Do not forget to quote the argument according to the demands
% of your shell.
%
% \paragraph{Generating the documentation.}
% You can use both the \xfile{.dtx} or the \xfile{.drv} to generate
% the documentation. The process can be configured by the
% configuration file \xfile{ltxdoc.cfg}. For instance, put this
% line into this file, if you want to have A4 as paper format:
% \begin{quote}
%   \verb|\PassOptionsToClass{a4paper}{article}|
% \end{quote}
% An example follows how to generate the
% documentation with pdf\LaTeX:
% \begin{quote}
%\begin{verbatim}
%pdflatex pdfcolparcolumns.dtx
%makeindex -s gind.ist pdfcolparcolumns.idx
%pdflatex pdfcolparcolumns.dtx
%makeindex -s gind.ist pdfcolparcolumns.idx
%pdflatex pdfcolparcolumns.dtx
%\end{verbatim}
