This document illustrates the possible variations in displaying playing cards 
available in the \LaTeX\ \LPack{pst-poker} package.

\LPack{pst-poker} is based on the package \LPack{poker} from Olaf Encke.

\section{Ibtroduction}

\LPack{pst-poker} itself loads the following packages:

\begin{verbatim}
\RequirePackage{pstricks,pst-blur,multido}
\RequirePackage{graphicx}
\RequirePackage[tiling]{pst-fill}
\end{verbatim}

If you want to pass some optional arguments to one or more of these packages you have
to use the macro \Lcs{PassOptionsToPackage} \emph{before} loading \LPack{pst-poker}.
The best way is before the document class.
 For example

\begin{verbatim}
\PassOptionsToPackage{graphicx}{xetex}
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pst-poker}
[...]
\end{verbatim}



\section{Inline Poker symbols}

There are several possible styles for inline cards. The default way is as small cards, i.e. 
{\Ac{} \Kh{} \Qd{} \Js{} \tenc}. They can also be displayed as simple symbols 
{\psset{inline=symbol}\Ac{} \Kh{} \Qd{} \Js{} \tenc} or as boxed symbols {\psset{inline=boxed}\Ac{} \Kh{} \Qd{} \Js{} \tenc}. 
A card back {\crdback[inline=symbol,backcolor=green]} is available, too.


It is also possible to variate the used colorset. In addition to the standard red/black colors, a 
four color set {\psset{inline=card,colorset=4c}\Ac\Kh\Qd\Js\tenc} as often used in online 
poker can be chosen. When colors are not desired, i.e. for printing purposes, the possible 
alternatives are a grayscale version {\psset{inline=symbol,colorset=gs}\Ac{} \Kh{} \Qd{} \Js{}\tenc} or 
complete black/white {\psset{inline=boxed,colorset=bw}\Ac{} \Kh{} \Qd{} \Js{} \tenc} with outlined red symbols.

%\psset{inline=card,colorset=2c}
\section{Poker cards}

The big cards offer a lot of options for design. The default design looks like this.
%\psset{cpr=7,framebg=beige}
\begin{center}
\crdAs
\crdtenh
\crdsevd
\crdsevc
\crdQd
\end{center}

The most basic variation is the \textsf{size} set by \Lkeyword{unit}.

\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t]
\crdAs
\psset{unit=1.1}
\crdtenh
\psset{unit=1.2}
\crdsevd
\psset{unit=1.3}
\crdsevc
\psset{unit=1.4}
\crdQd
\end{LTXexample}

As with the inline cards we can choose the \Lkeyword{colorset}.





\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t]
\psset{framebg=beige}
\crdAs
\crdtenh
\crdsevd
\crdsevc
\crdQd\\
\psset{colorset=4c}
\crdAs
\crdtenh
\crdsevd
\crdsevc
\crdQd\\
\psset{colorset=gs}
\crdAs
\crdtenh
\crdsevd
\crdsevc
\crdQd\\
\psset{colorset=bw}
\crdAs
\crdtenh
\crdsevd
\crdsevc
\crdQd
\end{LTXexample}

The \textsf{frame background} can be varied separately by the optional
argument \Lkeyword{framebg}, either with predefined colors as shown here or by using a selfdefined color.

\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t]
\psset{colorset=2c}
\psset{framebg=beige}\crdAs
\psset{framebg=white}\crdtenh
\psset{framebg=blue}\crdsevd
\psset{framebg=yellow}\crdsevc
\psset{framebg=beige}\crdQd
\end{LTXexample}

It is also possible to place indices in all \textbf{four corners} or use \textbf{peek indices}.

\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t]
\psset{corners=2}\crdAs
\psset{corners=4}\crdtenh
\psset{peek=right}\crdsevd
\psset{peek=both}\crdsevc
\psset{corners=2,peek=left}\crdQd
\end{LTXexample}


Besides the \textbf{jumbo indices} a \textbf{regular index} can be used. All other options remain available.
\psset{index=regular}

\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t]
\psset{corners=2}\crdAs
\psset{corners=4,framebg=blue}\crdtenh
\psset{peek=right,framebg=beige,colorset=bw}\crdsevd
\psset{peek=both,colorset=4c}\crdsevc
\psset{corners=2,peek=left,colorset=2c}\crdQd
\end{LTXexample}





The \Lkeyword{crdshadow} of the cards can be shown blurred, solid or deactivated.

\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t]
\psset{index=jumbo,corners=2,colorset=4c}
\psset{crdshadow=blurred}\crdAs
\psset{crdshadow=solid}\crdtenh
\psset{crdshadow=solid,colorset=bw}\crdsevd
\psset{crdshadow=none,colorset=bw}\crdsevc
\psset{crdshadow=none,colorset=4c}\crdQd
\end{LTXexample}


\textbf{Card backs} are also available in various styles and customizable in color.

\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t]
\psset{crdshadow=blurred,colorset=4c}
\crdback[backcolor=blue]
\crdback[backcolor=red]
\crdback[back=simple, backcolor=green]
\crdback[back=simple, backcolor=orange, crdshadow=none]

\crdback[colorset=2c, back=suits,backcolor=blue]
\crdback[colorset=bw, back=suits,backcolor=red]
\crdback[back=spades, backcolor=black]
\crdback[back=spades, backcolor=orange, crdshadow=blurred]
\end{LTXexample}
%\psset{back=fournier,backcolor=blue}\crdback
%\psset{back=fournier,backcolor=red}\crdback


\section{Usage}
To make the poker package available within a \LaTeX\ document you have to add
\begin{verbatim}
 \usepackage{pst-poker}
\end{verbatim}
to the preamble. Then you can change the options used with the command
\begin{verbatim}
 \psset{option=value[,option=value]}
\end{verbatim}
anywhere within the document.

\subsection{Inline cards}
To print inline cards you just need to call the macro associated with the card you want.
\begin{verbatim}
 \As\tenh\sevd\sevc\Qd
\end{verbatim}
creates the cards \As\tenh\sevd\sevc\Qd.

They are coded by their value and suit. Use this table to select the value

\small
\bigskip
\begin{tabular}{c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c}
Ace & King & Queen & Jack & 10 & 9 & 8 & 7 & 6 & 5 & 4 & 3 & 2\\\hline
\texttt{A} & \texttt{K} & \texttt{Q} & \texttt{J} & \texttt{ten} & \texttt{nine} & \texttt{eig} & \texttt{sev} & \texttt{six} & \texttt{five} & \texttt{four} & \texttt{tre} & \texttt{two}\\
\end{tabular}

\normalsize
and the next to select the letter for the suit:

\bigskip
\begin{tabular}{c|c|c|c}
Spade & Heart & Diamond & Club\\\hline
\texttt{s} & \texttt{h} & \texttt{d} & \texttt{c}\\
\end{tabular}

You can influence the display of the inline cards with the options \texttt{inline} and \texttt{colorset}.

\begin{tabular}{lll}
 Option & Values & Description \\\hline
\texttt{inline} & \texttt{symbol} & uses simple symbols to depict cards\\
& \texttt{boxed} & draws rounded boxes around the symbols\\
& \texttt{card} * & draws simplified cards with value and suit stacked vertically\\\hline
\texttt{colorset} & \texttt{2c} * & suits in red and black colors\\
& \texttt{4c} & suits in black/red/blue/green colors\\
& \texttt{gs} & grayscaled suits\\
& \texttt{bw} & black/white and outlined suits\\\hline
*: default\\
\end{tabular}


\subsubsection{Options}
Here we have a lot of options available to change the appearance of the cards. They are explained in table \ref{tab-opts}.

Since the \texttt{peek} option modifies the \texttt{corners} setting which in turn resets \texttt{peek}, it is advisable to first declare the \texttt{corners} option and then use the \texttt{peek} option if necessary.

The same applies to the \texttt{framebg} and \texttt{backcolor} options modifying the \texttt{colorset} option.

\begin{table}[!htb]
\centering
\caption{Options for cards using the \texttt{cards} environment}\label{tab-opts}
\begin{tabular}{lll}
 Option & Values & Description \\\hline
%\texttt{cpr} & \texttt{\#} (*\texttt{7})& specifies the number of cards per row to be displayed \\\hline
\texttt{index} & \texttt{jumbo} *& jumbo size indices\\
& \texttt{regular} & regular size indices\\\hline
\texttt{corners} & \texttt{2} *& indices in upper left and lower right corners\\
& \texttt{4} & indices in all four corners\\\hline
\texttt{peek} & \texttt{right} & add peek indices to right corners\\
& \texttt{left} & add peek indices to left corners\\
& \texttt{both} & add peek indices to all corners\\\hline
\texttt{colorset} & \texttt{2c} * & suits in red and black colors\\
& \texttt{4c} & suits in black/red/blue/green colors\\
& \texttt{gs} & grayscaled suits\\
& \texttt{bw} & black/white and outlined suits\\\hline
\texttt{framebg} & \texttt{beige} *& color choices for inner frame background\\
& \texttt{blue} & \\
& \texttt{white} & \\
& \texttt{yellow} & \\
& $<$\texttt{user}$>$ & user defined color\\\hline
\texttt{back} & \texttt{simple} *& diamond/squares styled card back\\
& \texttt{suits} & suits in ellipse on net background\\
& \texttt{spades} & spades filled background\\\hline
\texttt{backcolor} & \texttt{blue} *& color choices of main background elements\\
& \texttt{red} & \\
& \texttt{green} & \\
& \texttt{orange} & \\
& $<$\texttt{user}$>$ & user defined color\\\hline
\texttt{crdshadow} & \texttt{blurred} *& gradient shadow\\
& \texttt{solid} & solid black shadow\\
& \texttt{none} & no shadow\\\hline
*: default\\
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

\subsubsection{Advanced constructs}
There are several commands available for the advanced placement of cards.
\begin{verbatim}
  \crdpair{\crdKs}{\crdtenh}%
  \crdflop{\crdsevd}{\crdsevc}{\crdQd}%
  \crdKc\crdKd%
\end{verbatim}

\begin{center}
  \crdpair{\crdKs}{\crdtenh}%
  \crdflop{\crdsevd}{\crdsevc}{\crdQd}%
  \crdKc\crdKd%
\end{center}
