Version 1.1, June 2004\\
(based on \texttt{egame.sty}, November 1997)
\end{center}


\section{Introduction}
{\tt egameps.sty} is a \LaTeX2e\ style file for drawing extensive games.  It
is intended to have the capability of drawing any extensive game.  It is not
very fast (probably because it is not written very efficiently, but possibly
simply because it needs to make a lot of computations).  The latest version is
available at \url{http://www.economics.utoronto.ca/osborne/latex/}.

The style requires the PSTricks package (available on CTAN; documented in
\emph{The \LaTeX\ Graphics Companion}) and a means of printing a Postscript
file (e.g.\ a Postscript printer, or a non-Postscript printer and the program
Ghostscript).  Because the style uses the PSTricks macros, it is incompatible
with \verb+pdftex+.  You may produce a pdf file by first creating a dvi file
normally, then using \verb+dvips+ to create a Postscript file, and finally
using Ghostscript to create a pdf file from the Postscript file.  (If your
operating system is DOS or Windows, you can automate this process in a batch
file.  If your text editor is sufficiently configurable, you will be able to
initiate the process with a single keystroke.)  Alternatively, you use the
\verb+pdftricks+ package to finesse the limitation of \verb+pdftex+; see
Section~\ref{s:pdftricks}.
\section{Installation}
\begin{itemize}
   \item Put \texttt{egameps.sty} in a directory from which \TeX\ reads input
files.  (In MiKTeX the directory might be something like
\url{\miktex\localtexmf\tex\latex\} or a subdirectory thereof.)
   \item Let \TeX\ know that \texttt{egameps} has arrived.  (In MiKTeX,
``refresh the filename database''.)
   \item Check that you have PSTricks.  If you do not, get it from CTAN.
   \item To use the package in a document, put the lines\newline
\indent\verb+\usepackage{pstricks}+\newline
\indent\verb+\usepackage{pstcol}+\newline
\indent\verb+\usepackage{egameps}+\newline
in the preamble.  To use the macro \verb+\ctmbarc+ you need to include also
the line\newline
\indent\verb+\usepackage{pst-3d}+
\end{itemize}
\section{Using the style}
To draw a game using the style, first break the game into components, each
consisting of a node together with the branches that emanate from it, the
names with which the actions are labeled, and the players' payoffs if the
nodes at the end of the branches are terminal.  To draw each component, calls
to two macros are needed.  First \verb+\putbranch+ is called, which sets the
position of the node and the slope and length of the branch(es), then either
\verb+\ib+, \verb+\iib+, or \verb+\iiib+.  The macro \verb+\ib+ draws a single
branch, while \verb+\iib+ and \verb+\iiib+ draw two and three branches
respectively.  If the node has more than three branches, calls to a
combination of these macros are needed.

A game is begun by a call of the type\newline
\indent\verb+\begin{egame}400,500)+\newline
which starts a \verb+pspicture+, with dimensions $(400,500)$ and the
unitlength equal to the default of 0.1mm, or\newline
\indent\verb+\begin{egame}(400,500)[1mm]+\newline
which starts a \verb+pspicture+, with dimensions $(400,500)$ and sets the
unitlength at 1mm.

The next section gives examples that illustrate many of the features of the
package.  Precise descriptions of the macros are given in
Section~\ref{s:descr}.
\section{Examples}
The game in Figure~\ref{f:one} is produced by the following code.

\section{Description of macros\label{s:descr}}
\verb+\begin{egame}(+\emph{width}\verb+,+\emph{height}%
{\tt )[}\emph{unitlength}\verb+]+\newline
\noindent begins an extensive game of width \emph{width} and height
\emph{height} and optionally sets the unitlength to be \emph{unitlength}
(default 0.1mm).  In the game, all distances are given as integers, which are
interpreted as multiples of the unitlength.  These integers should (probably)
be divisible by two, so that the integer arithmetic employed by \TeX\ doesn't
lose accuracy when numbers are divided by two.  I have tested the macros
thoroughly only with the default unitlength of 0.1mm; unless there is a
compelling reason to use some different unitlength, I suggest sticking to
0.1mm.  (\verb+\begin{egame}(w,h)+ starts a \verb+pspicture+ environment
(defined by PSTricks) of width {\tt w} and height {\tt h}.)

Permissible values:
\begin{description}
\item[\emph{width}, \emph{height}] Any pair of integers.  (You need to
calculate these numbers.)
\item[\emph{unitlength}] Any dimension.  Default: 0.1mm.
\end{description}

\vspace{4mm}

\noindent\verb+\end{egame}+\newline
\noindent ends an extensive game.

\noindent\verb+\putbranch(+\emph{x-coord}\verb+,+\emph{y-coord}{\tt
)(}\emph{h-incr},\emph{v-incr}{\tt
)[}\emph{direction}\verb+]{+\emph{length}\verb+}+\newline
\noindent sets up the parameters for a branch at the point
$($\emph{x-coord}$,$\emph{y-coord}$)$, with direction parameter
$($\emph{h-incr}$,$\emph{v-incr}$)$, optional direction \emph{direction}, and
length \emph{length}.  Note that this macro merely sets up the parameters for
a call to \verb+\ib+ (one branch), \verb+\iib+ (two branches), \verb+\iiib+
(three branches), or \verb+\ctmb+ (continuum of branches); it does not draw
anything.  The way in which the direction parameter
$($\emph{h-incr}$,$\emph{v-incr}$)$ is interpreted depends on whether
\verb+\ib+, \verb+\iib+, or \verb+\iiib+ is used to draw the branches.  The
\emph{length} is the horizontal distance between the ends of one of the
branches to be drawn, unless \emph{h-incr} is 0, in which case \emph{length}
is the vertical distance between the ends of one of the branches.

Permissible values:
\begin{description}
\item[$($\emph{x-coord}$,$\emph{y-coord}$)$] Any pair of integers.
\item[$($\emph{h-incr}$,$\emph{v-incr}$)$] Any pair of integers except
\verb+(0,0)+.
\item[\emph{direction}] {\tt d} (down), {\tt u} (up), {\tt r} (right), or {\tt
l} (left); default {\tt d}.  (The direction can be changed also globally, by
specifying \verb+\egdirection{+\emph{direction}\verb+}+ before the call to
\verb+\putbranch+.)
\item[\emph{length}] Any positive integer.
\end{description}

\vspace{4mm}

\noindent\verb+\ib[+\emph{branchstyle}\verb+]{+\emph{player-name}\verb+}[+%
\emph{player-label-position}\verb+]{+\emph{action-label}\verb+}+\newline
\verb+[+\emph{action-label-position}\verb+][+\emph{payoffs}{\tt ]}\newline
\noindent puts a single branch with the parameters of the preceding call to
\verb+\putbranch+, optionally using the PSTricks style \emph{branchstyle},
assigns it the player name \emph{player-name}, optionally positions the player
label relative to the node according to \emph{player-label-position}, labels
the action \emph{action-label}, optionally positions the label according to
\emph{player-label-position}, and optionally adds the payoffs \emph{payoffs}. 
A single optional argument at the end is interpreted as follows: if its value
is \verb+o+ (outside), \verb+i+ (inside), or \verb+c+ (centered), it
determines the position of the action label; otherwise, it is a payoff label. 
If there are two optional arguments, the first must be \verb+o+ (outside),
\verb+i+ (inside), or \verb+c+ (centered), determining the position of the
action label, and the second is a payoff label.  (If you do not want an
optional positioning argument and you want your payoff label to be ``o'',
``i'', or ``c'', here's a workaround: put the label in an \verb+hbox+, as in
\verb+\hbox{o}+.  (Note that you do not need to do this if your payoff label
is \verb+$o$+, etc.---only if it is just ``o''.)

The first branch in any {\tt egame} is taken to be the initial branch of the
game; its beginning node is indicated by \verb+\eginode+, the default of which
is a small circle.  Subsequent branches are taken to be noninitial, and are
indicated by \verb+\egnode+, the default value of which is a small disk.  To
force a node to be initial, specify \verb+\initialtrue+ before it; to force a
node to be noninitial, specify \verb+\initialfalse+ before it.  To change the
appearance of nodes, see Section~\ref{s:params}.

Permissible values:
\begin{description}
\item[\emph{branchstyle}] Any PSTricks linestyle (e.g.\ \verb+linecolor=red+,
\verb+linestyle=dashed+, \verb+linewidth=2pt+, \verb+doubleline=true+).

Default: \verb+linecolor=black+, \verb+linestyle=solid+,
\verb+linewidth=0.8pt+.
\item[\emph{player-name}] Any character string.
\item[\emph{player-label-position}] Either \verb+o+ (centered over the node),
or
\begin{itemize}
   \item If the direction of the branch (as specified either by
\verb+\egdirection+ or by an optional argument of \verb+\putbranch+) is {\tt
d} or {\tt u}, either {\tt l} (above/below and to the left) and {\tt r}
(above/below and to the right).
   \item If the direction of the branch is {\tt r} or {\tt l}, either {\tt u}
(to the left/right and up) and {\tt d} (to the left/right and down). 
\end{itemize}
Default: is to center the label above for \verb+\egdirection+=\verb+d+, below
for \verb+\egdirection+=\verb+u+, to the left of the node for
\verb+\egdirection+=\verb+r+, or to the right of the node for
\verb+\egdirection+=\verb+l+.
\item[\emph{action-label}] Any character string.
\item[\emph{action-label-position}] \verb+o+ (outside), \verb+i+ (inside), or
\verb+c+ (centered on branch).

Default: \verb+o+.  (For more on action label positioning, see
Section~\ref{s:alp}.)
\item[\emph{payoffs}] Any character string.
\end{description}

Examples:
\begin{verbatim}
\putbranch(0,100)(2,-1){200}
\ib{1}{$x$}
\end{verbatim}
$$\begin{egame}(200,180)
\putbranch(0,140)(2,-1){200}
\ib{1}{$x$}
\psline{<->}(0,0)(200,0)
\rput*(100,0){200}
\end{egame}$$

Note that in the following example the \verb+1+ in the direction pair
\verb+(0,1)+ is interpreted as sending the branch down, given that the
\verb+\egdirection+ is \verb+d+.  (That is, once you specify the
\verb+\egdirection+ (or leave it at the default \verb+d+) you do not need to
worry about getting the sign of the \emph{v-incr} correct (if the direction is
\verb+d+ or \verb+u+) or the sign of the \emph{h-incr} correct (if the
direction is \verb+l+ or \verb+r+).

\begin{verbatim}
\putbranch(0,100)(0,1){100}
\ib[linecolor=gray]{1}[l]{$x$}[c]
\end{verbatim}
$$\begin{egame}(100,140)
\putbranch(0,100)(0,1){100}
\ib[linecolor=gray]{1}[l]{$x$}[c]
\psline{<->}(80,0)(80,100)
\rput*(80,50){100}
\end{egame}$$

\begin{verbatim}
\initialfalse
\putbranch(0,40)(1,1)[u]{100}
\ib{1}{$x$}[$0,2$]
\end{verbatim}
$$\begin{egame}(100,180)
\initialfalse
\putbranch(0,40)(1,1)[u]{100}
\ib{1}{$x$}[$0,2$]
\end{egame}$$

Notice that the optional direction specifier {\tt u} in \verb+\putbranch+
affects not only the direction of the branch (which is determined by the
argument {\tt (1,1)}), but also the placement of the player label relative to
the starting node.

\begin{verbatim}
\initialfalse
\putbranch(0,100)(1,1){100}
\ib{1}[l]{$x$}[i][$0,2$]
\end{verbatim}
$$\begin{egame}(100,180)

\verb+{+\emph{action-label2}\verb+}[+\emph{action-label-position}\verb+][+%
\emph{payoffs1}%
\verb+][+\emph{payoffs2}{\tt ]}\newline
\noindent puts two branches with the parameters of the preceding call to
\verb+\putbranch+, optionally using the PSTricks style \emph{branchstyle1} for
the left or upper branch and the style \emph{branchstyle2} for the other
branch (or \emph{branchstyle1} for both branches, if there is only one
optional argument), assigns it the player name \emph{player-name}, optionally
positions the player label relative to the node according to
\emph{player-label-position}, labels the left/upper action with
\emph{action-label1} and the right/lower action with \emph{action-label2},
optionally using the position \emph{action-label-position}, and optionally
adds payoffs \emph{payoffs1} and \emph{payoffs2}.  The signs of the direction
parameters $($\emph{h-incr}$,$\emph{v-incr}$)$ in the preceding
\verb+\putbranch+ call are ignored; the directions of the branches is
determined by the direction of the branch (as specified either by
\verb+\egdirection+ or by the optional argument of \verb+\putbranch+).  If,
for example, the direction is {\tt d}, then one branch goes down and to the
left and the other goes down and to the right.

The first branch in any {\tt egame} is taken to be the initial branch of the
game; its beginning node is indicated by \verb+\eginode+.  Subsequent branches
are taken to be non-initial, and are indicated by \verb+\egnode+.  To force a
node to be initial, specify \verb+\initialtrue+ before it; to force a node to
be noninitial, specify \verb+\initialfalse+ before it.

Permissible values:
\begin{description}
\item[\emph{style1}, \emph{style2}] Any PSTricks line styles; see \verb+\ib+. 
If there is only one style present, it is applied to both branches.  If there
are two styles, the first is applied to the right hand branch and the second
to the left hand branch if the game direction is up or down, and the first is
applied to the lower branch and the second to the upper branch if the game
direction is left or right.
\item[\emph{player-name}] Any character string.
\item[\emph{player-label-position}] Either \verb+o+ (centered over the node),
or
\begin{itemize}
   \item If the direction of the branch (as specified either by
\verb+\egdirection+ or by an optional argument of \verb+\putbranch+) is {\tt
d} or {\tt u}, either {\tt l} (above/below and to the left) and {\tt r}
(above/below and to the right).
   \item If the direction of the branch is {\tt r} or {\tt l}, either {\tt u}
(to the left/right and up) and {\tt d} (to the left/right and down). 
\end{itemize}
Default: is to center the label above for \verb+\egdirection+=\verb+d+, below
for \verb+\egdirection+=\verb+u+, to the left of the node for
\verb+\egdirection+=\verb+r+, or to the right of the node for
\verb+\egdirection+=\verb+l+.
\item[\emph{action-label1} and \emph{action-label2}] Any character strings.
\item[\emph{action-label-position}] \verb+o+ (outside), \verb+i+ (inside), or
\verb+c+ (centered).  Default: \verb+o+.
\item[\emph{payoffs1} and \emph{payoffs2}] Any character strings.

Permissible values:

\emph{This macro requires the package} \verb+pst-3d+ \emph{to be loaded after}
\verb+pstricks+\emph{.  In the preamble to your document, include the line}
\verb+\include{pst-3d}+.  (\verb+\pstricks+ itself includes the needed macro,
but its definition appears to differ from the one in \verb+pst-3d+, which is 
the definition \verb+\ctmbarc+ needs.)

The line drawn by the macro is the intersection of (\emph{i})~a circle
centered at the start of the branch with radius equal to a half of the
distance to the following node and (\emph{ii})~the triangle defined by the
starting node and the two following nodes.  For some parameter values, this
line is not a full arc---see the last example.

The options are the same as those for \verb+\ctmb+.  The style of the arc is
controlled by the parameters \verb+\egarclinestyle+ (possible values
\verb+solid+, \verb+dashed+, \verb+dotted+, and \verb+none+; default
\verb+solid+), \verb+\egarclinewidth+ (any dimension; default \verb+0.6pt+),

\section{Positioning action labels}\label{s:alp}
The following algorithm is used to position an action label.  The ``reference
point'' for a branch is its midpoint.  An action label is surrounded by a box
(which may be colored and bordered by a line), from which it is separated by
\verb+\egactionboxsep+, then this box is surrounded by another box, from which
it is separated by \verb+\egactionlabelsep+.  Then, for example, for a label
positioned above a downward-sloping branch, the bottom left-hand corner of the
outer box is placed at the reference point, as in Figure~\ref{f:al}.  For a
label positioned above a horizontal branch, the bottom center of the outer box
is placed at the reference point.
\begin{figure}[htb]
\hspace*{\fill}
\begin{egame}(400,200)[0.2mm]

\end{egame}
\hspace*{\fill}
\caption[]{The position of an action label above a downward-sloping
branch.}\label{f:al}
\end{figure}

This algorithm is not perfect.  (Note that it is not continuous in the slope
of the branch.)  The positions of labels may need fine tuning, which may be
achieved by setting either \verb+\egalhshift+ or \verb+\egalvshift+ or both to
be nonzero (each is an integer, interpreted as a multiple of the unitlength).

\verb+\egalhshift+ and \verb+\egalvshift+ must be set between
\verb+\putbranch+ and \verb+\ib+, \verb+\iib+, \verb+\iiib+, or \verb+\ctmb+. 
(They are set to zero by \verb+\putbranch+.)

If \verb+\egalhshift+ is nonzero and \verb+\egalvshift+ is not, the reference
point for the action label on the single branch in \verb+\ib+, of the
\emph{right-hand} branch for directions \verb+d+ and \verb+u+ and of both
branches for directions \verb+r+ and \verb+l+ in \verb+\iib+, and for the
outer branches of \verb+\iiib+, is moved horizontally by this amount and is
moved vertically to maintain the same separation from the branch.  (That is,
the action label slides parallel to the branch; it moves horizontally by the
amount \verb+\egalhshift+.)  The reference point of the label on the symmetric
branch is moved symmetrically.  (Note that the label on the middle branch of
\verb+\iiib+ is not moved.  If you want to move it, you need to write separate
calls to \verb+\iib+ and \verb+\ib+.)

Similarly, if \verb+\egalvshift+ is nonzero and \verb+\egalhshift+ is not, the
reference point for the action label is moved vertically by this amount and is
moved horizontally to maintain the same separation from the branch.  After a
branch is drawn, \verb+\egalhshift+ and \verb+\egalvshift+ are reset to zero.

Note that the same effect can be acheived with either \verb+\egalhshift+ or
\verb+\egalvshift+.  The two methods are provided simply because in some cases
 a vertical shift might be more natural to specify, whereas in other cases a
horizontal shift might be more natural to specify.

If \emph{both} \verb+\egalhshift+ and \verb+\egalvshift+ are nonzero, the
reference point is moved horizontally by \verb+\egalhshift+ and vertically by
\verb+\egalvshift+.

Examples:

\verb+\egdirection{d}+
\verb+\egalhshift=40+
$$\begin{egame}(100,280)
\putbranch(50,240)(2,-1)[d]{200}
\egalhshift=40
\iib{1}{$A$}{$B$}[$1,1$][$2,2$]
\end{egame}$$

\verb+\egalhshift=-40+
$$\begin{egame}(100,280)
\putbranch(50,240)(2,-1)[d]{200}
\egalhshift=-40
\iib{1}{$A$}{$B$}[$1,1$][$2,2$]
\end{egame}$$

\verb+\egalhshift=40\egalvshift=40+
$$\begin{egame}(100,280)
\putbranch(50,240)(2,-1)[d]{200}
\egalhshift=40\egalvshift=40
\iib{1}{$A$}{$B$}[$1,1$][$2,2$]
\end{egame}$$

\verb+\egdirection{u}\egalhshift=60+
$$\begin{egame}(100,280)
\putbranch(40,140)(2,-1)[r]{200}
\egalhshift=60

\end{egame}$$
\section{Arrows}
Branches can have arrows either at the end or in the middle, by setting 

\verb+\renewcommand{\egarrowstyle}{e}+

\noindent (for arrows at the end), or

\verb+\renewcommand{\egarrowstyle}{m}+

\noindent (for arrows in the middle).  The positioning of arrows in the middle
is not ideal: the \emph{tip} of the arrow is placed in the middle of the
branch, while ideally the \emph{middle} of the arrow should be there.  I can't
see any easy way to improve the placement.

The style of the arrows can be controlled with PSTricks' various parameters
(as described, for example, in the \LaTeX\ Graphics Companion).

\section{Suggestions}
It seems hard to proceed without first drawing the game on a piece of paper,
at least roughly.  Be sure to allow enough space under (in the case of a
downward-pointing game) the terminal nodes---put the nodes that precede the
terminal nodes high enough that the bottom of the payoffs will be at height 0.
 Similarly, specify the height of the game so that the label for the initial
player does not poke out the top.  If parts of your game poke out of the frame
defined by the size you specify for your \verb+egame+, \TeX\ will not warn
you, but the spacing above and/or below your game will not be right.  (If you
specify the height to be too small, for example, the top of your game may
overlap the text above it.)

You can float your game in a figure (as I have done in the examples above), or
you can put it in the text.  (For example, you may use
\verb+$$\begin{egame}...+ \verb+\end{egame}$$+).  Putting it in the text has
the disadvantage that if it's big and happens to start at the bottom of a page
then you may get a lot of white space if it doesn't fit on the page.
\section{Enhancements}
It would be nice to have a graphical interface, like that in \LaTeX CAD\@. 
I'm not capable of writing one.

It would be nice also if the macros could calculate the dimensions of the
whole game, so the the user does not have to specify them in the
\verb+\begin{game}+ call.  To make this change looks like a tough project to
me.

The label-positioning algorithm could be enhanced, as discussed in
Section~\ref{s:alp}.

\section{Appendix: using pdftricks with pdftex to create a pdf
file}\label{s:pdftricks}
If you want to create a pdf file from your \LaTeX\ file and do not want to
take the dvi $\rightarrow$ ps $\rightarrow$ pdf route, you may use
\verb+pdftricks+.  Eric Gartzke reports that the following input produces the
expected output.  (See his comments for the limitations of this method.)  If
you find a better solution, please let me know.

\begin{verbatim}\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\usepackage{pstricks}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{pstcol}
\usepackage{pst-plot}
\usepackage{pst-tree}
\usepackage{pst-eps}
\usepackage{multido}
\usepackage{pst-node}

\usepackage{egameps}

\newtheorem{hypothesis}{Hypothesis}

Postscript commands need to be separated from other commands.
pdftricks literally stops the compiling of the TeX file to run
postscript/dvi in the background, generating separate small
TeX files and pdf files of each figure.  Notice that egameps 
is called last.  This seems to make a considerable
difference.  Here is an example of a simple egame tree.

\begin{pdfpic}
\begin{figure}[htb]
\hspace*{\fill}
\begin{egame}(600,1250)
\renewcommand{\egarrowstyle}{e}
\renewcommand{\egnode}{\pscircle*{8}}
\putbranch(200,1200)(0,1){150} \ib{$N$}[r]{$~k_{i},~k_{j}$}
\renewcommand{\egarrowstyle}{}
\putbranch(200,1050)(1,1){200} \egdirection{d}
\iib{$i$}[l]{$\begin{array}{c}Status\\Quo\end{array}$}{$Challenge$}[$b_{
i},~1+b_{j}$][]
\putbranch(400,850)(1,1){200}
\iib{$~j$}[r]{$Reject$}{$Accept$}[][$\begin{array}{c}1-
d+b_{i},\\d+b_{j}\end{array}$]
\putbranch(200,650)(1,1){200}
\iib{$i$}[l]{$\begin{array}{c}Back\\Down\end{array}$}{$Persist$}[$\begin
{array}{c}-a_{i},\\1\end{array}$][]
\putbranch(400,450)(1,1){200}
\iib{$j$}[r]{$Fight$}{$Acquiesce$}[$\begin{array}{c}p-k_{i},\\1-p-
k_{j}\end{array}$][$\begin{array}{c}1-d,\\d\end{array}$]
\end{egame}
\setcounter{figure}{1}
\hspace*{\fill} \caption[]{Selection Game
\label{figure:selection}}
\end{figure}
\end{pdfpic}

Again, the figure is isolated from the rest of the TeX file by
pdftricks commands.  Also, the regular LaTeX numbering of 
figures is interfered with, so I adjust with a \setcounter 
command.  Finally, the \label and \reference commands do not 
work, so one must simply number the figures in the text.
\end{verbatim}
