Package `xcolor' by Dr. Uwe Kern
(xcolor at ukern dot de)
v2.06 (2005/10/15)
`xcolor' provides easy driver-independent access to several kinds of
colors, tints, shades, tones, and mixes of arbitrary colors by means of
color expressions like \color{red!50!green!20!blue}.
It allows to select a document-wide target color model and offers tools
for automatic color schemes, conversion between nine color models,
alternating table row colors, color blending and masking, and color
separation.
Installation instructions
=========================
Extract all package files:
`latex xcolor.ins'
Put the generated files to their respective locations
within the TeX installation:
*.sty -> /tex/latex/xcolor/
*.def -> /tex/latex/xcolor/
*.pro -> /dvips/xcolor/
Create the documentation:
`latex xcolor.dtx'
`latex xcolor.dtx'
`makeindex -s gind.ist xcolor.idx'
`latex xcolor.dtx'
`latex xcolor.dtx'
Run the test files (N=1,2,...):
`latex xcolorN.tex'
`latex xcolorN.tex'
Notes
=====
- `xcolor1.tex' should run with both LaTeX and pdfLaTeX, it yields a
50-page document with several systematic color conversion examples
- `xcolor2.tex' is a 3-page `pstricks' example document that won't run
with pdfLaTeX
- `xcolor3.tex' is a 1-page example for demonstrating the logging
facilities
- `xcolor4.tex' is a 1-page driver test file;
uncomment the relevant code line in the header and run it with the
appropriate program, e.g., `latex xcolor4' or any other processor;
apply any desired post-processing like dvips, dvipdfm, etc.
- If the file `xcolor.ins' is missing, run `latex xcolor.dtx' once
and quit the LaTeX compiler as soon as the first error message
appears.
