The pack­age pro­vides an en­vi­ron­ment for coloured and framed text boxes with a head­ing line. Op­tion­ally, such a box may be split in an up­per and a lower part; thus the pack­age may be used for the set­ting of LaTeX ex­am­ples where one part of the box dis­plays the source code and the other part shows the out­put. Another com­mon use case is the set­ting of the­o­rems. The pack­age sup­ports sav­ing and reuse of source code and text parts.

Fancy a cool dodecahedron calendar for your desk? Create one with LaTeX in seconds! This example of the folding library was originally published in the TeXample gallery at http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/foldable-dodecahedron-with-calendar/.

This is a direct copy of the codes in section 2.9 of the pgfgantt package documentation (See page 45) except the color setting. Alone with this one, this examples shows how to make Gantt charts for project planning in LaTeX with the pgfgantt package. They are from the package documentation. The pgfgantt package provides many useful macros for generating the calendar for the Gantt chart for either absolute or relative dates. It also provides macros for grouping and linking tasks, and for full control over the styling of the chart.

pgf-pie is a LaTeX package for drawing pie charts (and some interesting variants on pie charts) with the PGF/TikZ graphics package. The examples in this document are from the pgf-pie manual, version 0.2. The source code for pgf-pie is available at http://code.google.com/p/pgf-pie/.

The code samples here are taken from the tikz-feynman and feynmf package documentations. Compile with LuaLaTeX to get the most out of tikz-feynman.

This package provides an essential feature to LaTeX that has been missing for too long. It adds a coffee stain to your documents. A lot of time can be saved by printing stains directly on the page rather than adding it manually. You can choose from four different stain types.

It was bound to happen. Now besides coffee stains, you can also add wine stains to your LaTeX document! wine.sty is actually Hanno Rein's coffee4.sty, with all the 'coffee' replaced by 'wine' in the code, and replaced colour definitions.

A drawing in TikZ. The first picture draws an impossible brick, which induces an optical illusion similar to that triggered by Escher's impossible cube. The second picture draws a Penrose triangle, another similar optical illusion.
