3 Usage
To make the poker package available within a LATEX document you have to add
\usepackage{poker}
to the preamble. Then you can change the options used with thecommand
\setkeys{poker}{option=value[,option=value]}
anywhere within the document.
3.1 Inline cards
To print inline cards you just need to call the macro associated with the card you want.
\As\tenh\sevd\sevc\Qd
creates the cardsA♠ 10r
7q
7♣
Qq .
They are coded by their value and suit. Use this table to select the value
Ace King Queen Jack 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2A K Q J ten nine eig sev six five four tre two
and the next to select the letter for the suit:
Spade Heart Diamond Clubs h d c
You can influence the display of the inline cards with the optionsinline andcolorset.
Option Values Descriptioninline symbol uses simple symbols to depict cards
boxed draws rounded boxes around the symbolscard * draws simplified cards with value and suit stacked vertically
colorset 2c * suits in red and black colors4c suits in black/red/blue/green colorsgs grayscaled suitsbw black/white and outlined suits
*: default
3.2 Floating cards
To insert floating cards you begin with an environment in which the cards are placed.
\begin{cards}
\end{cards}
4
The code for floating cards is very similar to the inline cards, you just need to add the prefixcrd to each macro. Thus the code
\begin{cards}
\crdAs\crdtenh\crdsevd\crdsevc\crdQd
\end{cards}
gives us the output shown in fig. 1.

3.2.1 Options
Here we have a lot of options available to change the appearance of the cards. They areexplained in table 1.
Since thepeek option modifies thecorners setting which in turn resetspeek, it is advis-able to first declare thecorners option and then use thepeek option if necessary.
The same applies to theframebg andbackcolor options modifying thecolorset option.
3.2.2 Advanced constructs
There are several commands available for the advanced placement of cards.
\begin{cards}
\crdpair{\crdKs}{\crdtenh}%
\crdflop{\crdsevd}{\crdsevc}{\crdQd}%
\crdKc\crdKd%
\end{cards}
