+\section{Introduction}
+
+This package, \texttt{aeb\_tilebg}, is a simple application
+of established packages \textsf{graphicx}, \textsf{multido} and
+\pkg{web}.
+
+Download your favorite tiled background swatch from the Internet or create one yourself,
+convert it to an \texttt{.eps} or a \texttt{.pdf} format (depending
+if you use \textsf{distiller} or \textsf{pdftex}), place that image
+in the same folder as your source document. Anywhere in your
+document, use the command \verb!\setTileBgGraphic! to bring in your
+tiled background using the \textsf{graphicx} package; for example,
+\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small,commandchars=!()]
+\setTileBgGraphic[scale=.5]{!meta(graphics_file)}
+\end{Verbatim}
+The \textsf{multido} package places these images in the background,
+starting from the upper-left corner (the lower left corner if the
+\texttt{uselltiling} option is taken) going across and down
+(respectively, going across and up), one row at a time. The \pkg{web}
+package is used to manage the graphical template created.
+
+During the development of this package, I Googled ``backgrounds'',
+``tiled backgrounds'' and ``math tiled backgrounds'' and found,
+amongst many, the following links
+\begin{quote}
+\url{http://www.patswebgraphics.com/tiled.html}\\
+\url{http://www.rhiossampler.com/Backgrounds/TBGIndex.htm}\\
+\url{http://www.backgroundcity.com/}\\
+\url{http://www.wou.edu/~burtonl/mathart/mathart.html}
+\end{quote}
+I downloaded a few of the swatches and used them during the testing
+phase. The mathematical tiles of last the URL listed above are
+particularly interesting.
+
+\section{Alternate package name: \texorpdfstring{\protect\pkg{aeb-tilebg}}{aeb-tilebg}}
+
+This package is listed on CTAN as \pkg{aeb-tilebg}, there is now a `dummy' package by
+that name that loads \pkg{aeb\_tilebg} with the specified options.
+
+\section{The Preamble and Package Options}
+
+In the preamble, place the \textsf{aeb\_tilebg} package like so
+\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small,commandchars=!()]
+\usepackage[!meta(options)]{aeb_tilebg}
+\end{Verbatim}
+This must be placed after the introduction of the web package. A
+typical preamble might be
+\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small,commandchars=!()]
+\documentclass{article}
+\usepackage[!meta(driver),tight,designiv,usetemplates]{web}
+\usepackage[!meta(options)]{aeb_tilebg}
+\end{Verbatim}
+where \meta{driver} can be \texttt{dvipsone}, \texttt{dvips} or
+\texttt{pdftex} (which include the \textsf{lualatex} application) and
+\texttt{xetex}. Only the \texttt{usetemplates} option and the driver type
+are required options here, the others are optional.\footnote{The \textsf{web} package
+automatically detects \textsf{pdftex} and \textsf{xetex} so they need not be specified.}
+
+The options of the \textsf{aeb\_tilebg} package are as follows:
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item \texttt{uselltiling}: When the package tiles a background, it
+begins in the upper left corner, goes across the row from left to
+right, then moves downward to the next row. This is the default
+behavior. The algorithm uses the multido command and floating point
+arithmetic; there may be some round off that leaves the tiles not
+quite contiguous, though I haven't observed this myself. If the
+upper-left starting point does not give satisfactory results, try
+using \texttt{uselltiling}, this option causes \textsf{aeb\_tilebg}
+to begin tiling in the lower-left corner; tiling moves left-to-right
+and upward. This uses a faster, more accurate algorithm of multido
+and should be superior and give the contiguous tiling you want.
+\item \texttt{draft}: Tiling slows down {\LaTeX} compilation and
+obscures the text content as viewed in the previewer; therefore, use
+the \texttt{draft} to suppress tiling during the content development
+phase of the document. Remove the option to build the final
+document.
+\item \texttt{ignoreforpaper}: The default behavior of
+\textsf{aeb\_tilebg} is to automatically remove the tiling when the
+\texttt{forpaper} option of the \pkg{web} package is selected. To
+ignore this default ``forpaper'' behavior, select the
+\texttt{ignoreforpaper} option; then, even if the \texttt{forpaper}
+option is used, tiling of the document will occur.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\section{The Commands}
+
+There are only a few commands of this package, which we list and
+discuss in this section.
+
+To specify the graphics file that is to be tiled, use the
+\cs{setTileBgGraphic}, the central command of this package:
+\bVerb\takeMeasure{\string\setTileBgGraphic[\meta{key\_values}]\darg{\meta{filename}}}%
+\begin{dCmd}[commandchars=!()]{\bxSize}
+\setTileBgGraphic[!meta(key_values)]{!meta(filename)}
+\end{dCmd}
+\endgroup
+\PD The two parameters are passed to the \cs{includegraphics}
+command of the \textsf{graphicx} package, consequently, their descriptions are
+the same: the \texttt{\ameta{filename}} is the base name of the graphics
+file and \texttt{\ameta{key\_values}} are any options of the
+\cs{includegraphics} command desired. The package automatically
+inserts the \texttt{hiresbb} option of \cs{includegraphics} to get a
+better fit of the tiles; specifying this option, therefore, is not
+needed.
+
+\CmdLoc This command can be placed in the preamble to tile beginning
+at the first page, or anywhere in the body of the document to tile
+the current page, and all pages thereafter. The tile graphic can be
+changed freely, just by specifying a new graphics file in the
+\cs{setTileBgGraphic} command.
+
+Below is an example of usage:
+\bVerb\takeMeasure{\string\setTileBgGraphic[scale=.5]\darg{IndianBlanket}}%
+\begin{dCmd*}[commandchars=!()]{\bxSize}
+\setTileBgGraphic[scale=.5]{IndianBlanket}
+\end{dCmd*}
+\eVerb
+The \texttt{scale} option re-scales the graphics by a factor given
+as its value. This option is often used to set the size of the
+tile, appropriate to the screen size. Other useful options are
+\texttt{width} and \texttt{height}.
+
+You can disable and enable tiling using the following two commands:%
+\bVerb\takeMeasure{\string\disableTiling\quad\string\enableTiling}%
+\begin{dCmd}[commandchars=!()]{\bxSize}
+\disableTiling!quad\enableTiling
+\end{dCmd}
+\eVerb
+When you execute \cs{enableTiling}, the graphic tile currently
+defined will be used. You can change the tiling as well
+
+You can disable tiling by using the \verb!\disableTiling! command then\dots
+\bVerb\takeMeasure{\string\setTileBgGraphic[scale=.2]\darg{tmfpurple\_50}}%
+\begin{dCmd*}[commandchars=!()]{\bxSize}
+\disableTiling
+...
+\enableTiling
+\setTileBgGraphic[scale=.2]{tmfpurple_50}
+\end{dCmd*}
+\eVerb
+For \texttt{multido}, the number of iterations must be specified in
+advance. The \textsf{aeb\_tilebg} package uses \cs{multidostop} to
+break out of a \texttt{multido} loop early. By default it is set at
+10, but can be changed through the \cs{maxiterations}
+command,\footnote{It may become necessary to increase this number if
+you decide to have a lot of tiles per page (increasing the size of
+your file, I might add) or if you use the \texttt{ignoreforpaper}
+command, where you are now trying to tile a larger area than
+typically is done for the screen.}%
+\bVerb\takeMeasure{\string\maxiterations\darg{\meta{number}}}%
+\begin{dCmd}[commandchars=!()]{\bxSize}
+\maxiterations{!meta(number)}
+\end{dCmd}
+\eVerb
+here, the parameter \meta{number} is the maximum number of iterations to
+be performed by the (nested) \texttt{multido}'s that tile the background.
+The default is \verb!\maxiterations{10}!.
+
+\exSrc{tilebg_tst} The file \texttt{tilebg\_tst.tex} is the demo file
+for the above series of commands.
+
+\newtopic The tiling algorithm automatically determines how many
+rows and columns you need to completely cover the background. This,
+of course, leads to partial tiles appearing in the background. In
+most cases this is not a problem; however, if you are particularly
+picky, you want only complete tiles to appear, no partials please.
+To accomplish this wonder feat of magic, use the
+\cs{autosetScreensizeWithMargins} command.%
+\bVerb\takeMeasure{\small\string\autosetScreensizeWithMargins\darg{\meta{n\_rows}}%
+\darg{\meta{n\_cols}}\darg{\meta{lm}}\darg{\meta{rm}}\darg{\meta{tm}}\darg{\meta{bm}}}%
+\begin{dCmd}[fontsize=\small,commandchars={!()}]{\bxSize}
+\autosetScreensizeWithMargins{!meta(n_rows)}{!meta(n_cols)}{!meta(lm)}{!meta(rm)}{!meta(tm)}{!meta(bm)}
+\end{dCmd}
+\endgroup
+\PD The command has six parameters, as listed below and described
+briefly.
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item \meta{n\_rows}: number of rows
+\item \meta{n\_cols}: number of columns
+\item \meta{lm}: length of left margin
+\item \meta{rm}: length of right margin
+\item \meta{tm}: length of top margin
+\item \meta{bm}: length of bottom margin
+\end{enumerate}
+\Important This command, which sets the screen dimensions of the
+document, can be used only in the preamble. When using this command,
+do not specify a design argument for the \pkg{web} package,\footnote{This is
+referring to the \pkg{web} options of
+\texttt{designi}--\texttt{designvii}.} and don't use either the
+\cs{margins} or \cs{screensize} commands of \pkg{web} as these two
+commands are used by \cs{autosetScreensizeWithMargins}.
+
+An example of usage is\setbox\webtempboxi\hbox{\ttfamily\string\autosetScreensizeWithMargins\{7\}\{5\}\{.25in\}\{.25in\}\{24pt\}\{.25in\}}%
+\begin{dCmd*}{\wd\webtempboxi+2\fboxsep}
+\setTileBgGraphic[scale=.25]{bike_10}
+\autosetScreensizeWithMargins{7}{5}{.25in}{.25in}{24pt}{.25in}
+\end{dCmd*}
+The last four parameters are typical margin settings for the \pkg{web}
+package.
+
+\exSrc{tilebg_tst_auto} \texttt{tilebg\_tst\_auto.tex} is the demo file
+for the \cs{autosetScreensizeWithMargins} command.
+
+\section{Reducing the file size}
+
+Tiling the background increases the file size of the document. I believe
+pdftex and xetex can reuse a graphics file to reduce the file size, and
+does a decent job.
+
+\subsection{Tiling using the \textsf{graphicxsp} package}
+
+One approach to reducing file size is to embed your tile graphic once and
+use and reuse it without significantly increasing file size. How is this
+done? Using the \textsf{graphicxsp} package.
+
+We outline the method through example. In the preamble, we have,
+\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small,commandchars=!()]
+\usepackage[tight,designiv,usetemplates]{web}
+\usepackage{graphicxsp}
+\usepackage{aeb_tilebg}
+
+\embedEPS[transparencyGroup]{bike}{tile/bike_10}
+\setTileBgGraphic[name=bike,
+ transparency={/ca .3},scale=.25]{tile/bike_10}
+%\autosetScreensizeWithMargins{7}{5}{.25in}{.25in}{24pt}{.25in}
+\end{Verbatim}
+You can optionally set the dimensions of the page to exactly 7 rows and 5
+columns. With \textsf{graphicxsp}, you embed the graphic using
+\cs{embedEPS} and give it a name, \texttt{bike} in this example. In the
+optional argument of \cs{setTileBgGraphic} we pass that name using the
+\meta{name} key and pass some transparency settings as well. See the
+documentation of \texttt{graphicxsp} for more information.
+
+\exSrc{tilebg_tst_sp} \texttt{tilebg\_test\_sp.tex} is the test file for
+demonstrating this method. Acrobat Distiller is required as the PDF
+creator.
+
+\subsection{Tiling using \textsf{graphicxsp} and layers}
+
+One criticism of a background or tiled background is that it is really not
+desired when the document is printed. However, if you put the background
+in layers and set the layers never to print, the problem is solved. To use
+layers, the \texttt{uselayers} option of the \textsf{aeb\_pro} package
+must be used (with Distiller as the PDF creator). To get the tiles to
+appear in their a layer (all in the same layer), use the
+\textsf{aeb\_tilebg} \cs{placeTilesinLayers} command.
+\bVerb\takeMeasure{\string\placeTilesinLayers[\meta{name}]\darg{\meta{KV-pairs}}}%
+\begin{dCmd}[commandchars={!()}]{\bxSize}
+\placeTilesinLayers[!meta(name)]{!meta(KV-pairs)}
+\end{dCmd}
+\eVerb
+The \meta{name} argument is the name of the layer, the default is
+\texttt{tileBG}. The \meta{KV-pairs} argument consists of key-value pairs
+that are recognized by the \cs{xBld} command of {\AEBP}, refer to the
+documentation of \cs{xBld} in the {\AEBP} manual.
+
+We outline the method through example. In the preamble, we have,
+\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small,commandchars=!()]
+\usepackage[
+ graphicxsp,uselayers,
+ web={tight,designiv,usetemplates}
+]{aeb_pro}
+\usepackage{aeb_tilebg}
+\embedEPS[transparencyGroup]{bike}{tile/bike_10}
+\placeTilesinLayers{initState=on,print=never}
+\setTileBgGraphic[name=bike,
+ transparency={/ca .3},scale=.25]{tile/bike_10}
+\end{Verbatim}
+This is pretty much the same as the previous example, except \textsf{aeb\_pro}
+is used with the \texttt{uselayers} option.
+
+\exSrc{tilebg_tst_layers}\texttt{tilebg\_tst\_layers.tex} is the test file for
+demonstrating this method. Acrobat Distiller is required as the PDF
+creator, the \texttt{Standard\_transparency.joboptions}, which ships with \pkg{aeb\_pro},
+is required to distill this file so it has a transparent background.
+
+\begin{comment}
+\subsection{Using Acrobat Pro}
+
+The key to this technique is to use the
+\texttt{addWatermarkFromFile()} JavaScript method for Acrobat. For
+convenience, it is suggested that the \texttt{aeb\_pro} package be
+used to make this technique straightforward. The preamble might look
+like the following:
+\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small]
+\documentclass{article}
+\usepackage[
+ web={tight,usetemplates}
+]{aeb_pro}
+\usepackage{aeb_tilebg}
+\end{Verbatim}
+
+The steps are as follows:
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item Open the file \texttt{tilebg\_blank.tex}. This is a simple
+ file that produces one (or more) page(s). Set the design
+ parameter of \Web, as desired, or, remove the design option, set
+ your own screen size, or let \cs{autosetScreensizeWithMargins}
+ set the size by using, as described above (using a graphic tile
+ of your choice).
+ \item Compile the file, distill, and save the \texttt{.pdf} with a name
+ of your choice.
+ \item Now, in your document, the one that uses
+ \texttt{aeb\_pro}, insert the \texttt{docassembly} environment
+ in the preamble:
+\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small]
+\begin{docassembly}
+\addWatermarkFromFile({
+ bOnTop:false,
+ cDIPath:"/C/acrotex/aeb_tilebg/bike_bg.pdf"
+});
+\executeSave();
+\end{docassembly}
+\end{Verbatim}
+ \item If you are not using \cs{autosetScreensizeWithMargins},
+ in the preamble, set up the file without any tiling by executing
+ \cs{disableTiling}. If you are using the command
+ \cs{autosetScreensizeWithMargins}, the screen size must be set
+ up to match the screen size of your background template;
+ in this case, your preamble should read something like this
+\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small]
+\setTileBgGraphic[scale=.25]{tile/bike_10}
+\autosetScreensizeWithMargins{7}{5}{.25in}{.25in}{24pt}{.25in}
+\disableTiling
+\end{Verbatim}
+\item Compile and distill, the Acrobat JavaScript retrieves your
+background template embeds it in the PDF document, and uses and
+reuses the graphic on each of the specified pages.
+\end{enumerate}
+\exSrc{tilebg_tst_pro} See the files \texttt{tilebg\_blank.tex} and
+\texttt{tilebg\_tst\_pro.tex} for an example.
+\end{comment}
+
+\subsection{Comparison of file sizes}
+
+We build and noted the file size of one of the test files under various
+conditions.
+\begin{flushleft}
+\hspace*{\amtIndent}\begin{tabular}{llll}
+\textbf{Driver}&\textbf{graphicx}&\textbf{graphicxsp}&\textbf{Reduced Size PDF}\\

+\texttt{pdftex}&62KB&--&--\\
+\texttt{xetex}&27KB&--&--
+\end{tabular}
+\end{flushleft}
+Using the standard graphics package \texttt{graphicx}, \texttt{dvips} does
+the worst with \texttt{xetex} doing best. For \texttt{dvips}, with the
+test file uses \texttt{graphicxsp}, the file size is reduced to
+\texttt{43KB}, and reduced further when the Reduced Size PDF operation is
+performed by Acrobat, accessed through the menu
+\texttt{File\;>\;Save\;As\;Other\;>\;Reduced\;Size\;PDF}.\footnote{The user-interface is often redesigned, this is the location
+for Acrobat~11.}
