Calendar
This is a metapost calendar, which I use to mark down appointments.
It prints one month per page, and can generate an entire year's
with one command.
To generate the next month's calendar:
mpost calendar
and the card will be written to bbcard.{number}, where {number} is
the month number. One drawback: some common metapost implementations
don't determine the month dynamically, but instead report the month
of compilation or the month of the last change to the code or something
like that. In that case, you must set theyear and themonth as indicated
below:
To generate a year's worth:
mpost '\theyear:=2003; themonth:=-1; input calendar'
To generate April 2003:
mpost '\theyear:=2003; themonth:=4; input calendar'
Those command-lines assume a recent Unix installation. On your
machine, metapost might be called mp rather than mpost, and the
single-quotes might not be necessary. calendar requires your installation
to be configured to use the font pplr8r (Palatino). It is not
suitable for use with the CM fonts.
I've included a few holidays, which I called brands for some reason
I don't recall. You can remove them or add more by setting the values
of the approriate element of the `brands' array. For instance:
brands[7][4] := "Independance Day";
sets the US independance day, which is July 4.
You are free to enhance this file or integrate it with other packages
if you like. If you do something splendid like adding support for
floating holidays, send them to me and I'll update the package on CTAN.
