# The `ocgx2` LaTeX Package

© 2015--`\today`, Alexander Grahn

https://github.com/agrahn/ocgx2

## Introduction

This package serves as a drop-in replacement for the already existing packages
`ocgx` by Paul Gaborit and `ocg-p` by Werner Moshammer for the creation of PDF
Layers.

It re-implements the functionality of the `ocg`, `ocgx` and `ocg-p` packages and
adds support for all known engines and back-ends including:

- LaTeX ⇒ dvips ⇒ ps2pdf/Distiller
- (Xe)LaTeX ⇒ (x)dvipdfmx
- pdfLaTeX, LuaLaTeX

Also, it adds some features, improvements and bug fixes, such as package
options, remembering option settings of re-opened OCGs, correct behaviour of
layer switching links that were themselves placed on layers, correct listing
of (nested) OCGs in the layers tab of PDF viewers, compatibility with the
`animate` and `media9` packages, a re-implementation of **`hyperref`**'s
**`ocgcolorlink`** option.

To enable dvipdfmx support, pass `dvipdfmx` globally as a class option.

----

*New features:*

+ layers extending across **page breaks**
+ grouping layers into **Radio Button Groups**
+ re-implementing `hyperref`'s `ocgcolorlinks` option

for creating OCG coloured links, which are printed on paper in the default
text colour and which can, unlike the original `hyperref` implementation,
extend over **line** and **page breaks**. Moreover, with pdfLaTeX/LuaLaTeX, OCG
coloured links can be **nested**.

Coloured OCG links are enabled with

````latex
\usepackage{hyperref} % do NOT set [ocgcolorlinks] here!
\usepackage[ocgcolorlinks]{ocgx2}
````

----

`ocgx2` uses code from file `tikzlibraryocgx.code.tex` by P. Gaborit to enable
TikZ styles for creating PDF Layers and clickable layer switching links in the
`tikzpicture` context.

Just say:
````latex
\usepackage[tikz]{ocgx2}
````
instead of
````latex
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{ocgx}
````
to enable these TikZ styles and read the `ocgx` documentation about their usage:
````
texdoc ocgx
````
The `/tikz/ocg/opts=<ocg options>` parameter adds to the list in section "How to
add TikZ scopes into OCGs" in the `ocgx` manual. It allows passing `ocg`
environment options (see below) to the TikZ scope.

## Usage

````latex
\usepackage[<options>]{ocgx2}

\begin{ocg}[<options>]{<layer name>}{<layer id>}{<initial visibility>}
  ... material to be put on a PDF layer ...
\end{ocg}
````
With `<initial visibility>` = `( on | true | 1 )  |  ( off | false | 0 )`

and `<options>`:
````
viewocg = always | never | ifvisible
printocg =  always | never | ifvisible
exportocg =  always | never | ifvisible
listintoolbar= always | never | iffirstuse

showingui
radiobtngrp = <group name>
tikz
ocgcolorlinks
````
**not in** `ocgx`, `ocg-p`:

* `showingui` (same as `listintoolbar`)
* `radiobtngrp = <group name>` (string; environment-only option)
* `tikz`  (package-only option, see above)
* `ocgcolorlinks`  (package-only option, see above)

Package options have global scope. Environment options override package options
locally.

Layers can be added to one or several Radio Button Groups using the new option
`radiobtngrp`. From all layers within a Radio Button Group only one can be
enabled at a time. Enabling a layer, e. g. in the Layers tab of the PDF viewer,
automatically hides the previously visible layer.  Option `radiobtngrp` can
be used repeatedly for the same OCG in order to add the layer to more than one
Radio Button Group.

`ocg` environments can be nested and span multiple pages.

See the `ocg-p` manual about the environment usage and the meaning of the
remaining options:
````
texdoc ocg-p
````

----

Clickable links for switching PDF layer visibility are created with:
````latex
\switchocg{<layer IDs to toggle, space separated>}{<link text>}
\showocg{<layer IDs to switch ON, space separated>}{<link text>}
\hideocg{<layer IDs to switch OFF, space separated>}{<link text>}
\actionsocg{<IDs to toggle>}{<IDs to switch ON>}{<IDs to switch OFF>}{<link text>}
````
For details about their usage, read the `ocgx` package manual:
````
texdoc ocgx
````
For compatibility with the `ocg-p` package, the following commands have
been provided:
````latex
\toggleocgs[triggerocg=...]{<layer IDs to toggle, space separated>}{<link text>}
\showocgs[triggerocg=...]{<layer IDs to switch ON, space separated>}{<link text>}
\hideocgs[triggerocg=...]{<layer IDs to switch OFF, space separated>}{<link text>}
\setocgs[triggerocg=...]{<IDs to toggle>}{<IDs to switch ON>}{<IDs to switch OFF>}{<link text>}
````
See the `ocg-p` package manual for the meaning of `triggerocg=...`.

----

Breakable OCG coloured links work best with normal text as link text. If the
link text is mixed with graphical content, such as from external files or
inline graphics (e. g. TikZ) and even `\fbox`-ed text, these graphical parts
must be enclosed in
````latex
\ocglinkprotect{...}
````

For example:
````latex
\href{http://ctan.org}{Visit me on \ocglinkprotect{\includegraphics{ctan-lion}}!}
````

Alternatively, the whole link can be placed inside
````latex
\hypersetup{breaklinks=false}...\hypersetup{breaklinks=true}
````
to temporarily disable breakable links.
