\title{\bf The shadowtext package \\ \bigskip \normalfont\small Version 0.3}
\author{Y. Zwols (yz2198@columbia.edu)}

\parskip=8pt
\section{Usage}
The shadowtext package introduces a new command, namely the {\tt $\backslash$shadowtext} command. This is a box
that adds a shadow behind text. Its usage is simple. The following code and its output illustrates the usage.
\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\begin{multicols*}{2}
{\footnotesize
\begin{verbatim}
\shadowtext{This is a shadowtext}
\end{verbatim}}
\shadowtext{This is a shadowtext}
\end{multicols*}
\end{minipage}
\section{Changing the position of the shadow}
The position of the shadow consists of two components: a horizontal offset and a vertical offset.
The package offers two ways of changing the position of the shadow. The first and easiest way of
changing the position is by using the {\tt $\backslash$setshadowoffset} command. This commands
sets the horizontal and vertical offset simultaneously. For example:
\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\begin{multicols*}{2}
{\footnotesize
\begin{verbatim}
\shadowoffset{2pt}
\shadowtext{This is a shadowtext}
\end{verbatim}}
\shadowoffset{2pt}
\shadowtext{This is a shadowtext}
\end{multicols*}
\end{minipage}
Alternatively, one may use the commands {\tt shadowoffsetx} and {\tt shadowoffsety} to independently change
the horizontal and vertical offset. For example:
\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\begin{multicols*}{2}
{\footnotesize
\begin{verbatim}
\shadowoffsetx{1pt}
\shadowoffsety{4pt}
\shadowtext{This is a shadow text}
\end{verbatim}}
\shadowoffsetx{1pt}
\shadowoffsety{4pt}
\shadowtext{This is a shadow text}\\
\phantom{}
\end{multicols*}
\end{minipage}
\section{Changing the color of the shadow}
The color of the shadow may be changed by using the {\tt shadowcolor} and {\tt shadowrgb} commands.\footnote{Internally, the
package uses the {\tt $\backslash$color} command from the color package to set its color}
The {\tt shadowcolor} command takes as an argument the name of a color, whereas {\tt shadowrgb} takes a comma-separated list of red, green, blue
values. For example, the following code adds a blueish shadow using {\tt $\backslash$shadowcolor}:
\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\begin{multicols*}{2}
{\footnotesize
\begin{verbatim}
\shadowoffset{2pt}
\shadowcolor{blue!40!white}
\shadowtext{This is a shadow text}
\end{verbatim}}
\shadowoffset{2pt}
\shadowcolor{blue!40!white}
\shadowtext{This is a shadow text}\\
\phantom{}
\end{multicols*}
\end{minipage}
The following code produces a red shadow using {\tt $\backslash$shadowrgb}:
\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\begin{multicols*}{2}
{\footnotesize
\begin{verbatim}
\shadowoffset{2pt}
\shadowrgb{1.0, 0.5, 0.5}
\shadowtext{This is a shadow text}
\end{verbatim}}
\shadowoffset{2pt}
\shadowrgb{1.0, 0.5, 0.5}
\shadowtext{This is a shadow text}\\
\phantom{}
\end{multicols*}
\end{minipage}
\section{More examples}
The following code illustrates how to use shadowtext in more interesting settings:
\definecolor{navy}{rgb}{0,0,0.5}
\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\begin{multicols*}{2}
{\footnotesize
\begin{verbatim}
\definecolor{navy}{rgb}{0,0,0.5}
\shadowrgb{0.8, 0.8, 1}
\shadowoffset{1pt}
\shadowtext{
\color{navy}
\fontsize{16}{16}\selectfont
Large!}
\end{verbatim}}
\color{navy}
\shadowrgb{0.8, 0.8, 1}
\shadowoffset{2pt}
\shadowtext{\fontsize{16}{16}\selectfont \textbf{Large!}}\\
\phantom{}\\

\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\begin{multicols*}{2}
{\footnotesize
\begin{verbatim}
\shadowoffset{1pt}
\color{black}
\shadowtext{%
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
\hline
1 & 2 \\
3 & 4 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
}
\end{verbatim}}
\shadowoffset{1pt}
\shadowtext{
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
\hline
1 & 2 \\
3 & 4 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
}
\phantom{}\\

\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\begin{multicols*}{2}
{\footnotesize
\begin{verbatim}
\shadowoffset{1pt}
\shadowtext{$\sqrt{2\pi}e^{-n}$}
\end{verbatim}}
\shadowoffset{1pt}
\shadowtext{$\sqrt{2\pi}e^{-n}$}\\
