% package file for gcard package: typeset four ``panels'' on a single
% sheet so that sheet can be folded twice to produce a greeting card.
% Uses \rotatebox command from the graphicx package to invert two 
% of the panels, and the textpos package to place all four panels on 
% the page.

% Set default values for margins.  These are the apparent margins after
% the card has been folded.  The user should set these four to taste.
% All four panels use the same margins.
% Here, edge and gutter are set the same, as are top and bottom; that's
% not required, and it's okay to use 4 different values.

% Define environments for four panels.  The two outside ones (frontcover and
% backcover) need to be rotated.
% These environments place the user's material vertically centered in a minipage
% of width \panelwidth and height \panelheight.
