Download your favorite tiled background swatch from the Internet, 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} \setTileBgGraphic[scale=.75]{./brewtile1} \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 up (respectively, going across and down), one row at a time. The web package is used to manage the graphical template created. \newpage \setTileBgGraphic[scale=.5]{./math-bkgrd} Inserting a second file will create a new tiled background, like so \begin{verbatim} \setTileBgGraphic[scale=.5]{./math-bkgrd} \end{verbatim} \newpage \disableTiling You can disable tiling by using the \verb!\disableTiling! command then\dots \newpage \enableTiling \setTileBgGraphic[scale=.5]{./IndianBlanket} Re-enable it later by using \verb!\enableTiling!, possibly with a new tile graphic, as on this page \begin{verbatim} \enableTiling \setTileBgGraphic[scale=.5]{./IndianBlanket} \end{verbatim} Very swave! \end{document}
