Environments, commands and keys defined by this package are links (both in the code and in the text). Klicking on them will get you to their explanation in \cref{documentation}. \Cref{motivation} gives a motivation why this package is useful. There is a list of related packages in \cref{used-packages,other-packages}. Package names link to the rather short description in that list. \subsection{Table} \label{table} Use the \env{tableobject} environment for inserting tables. Pass caption and label as keyword arguments. You can't mess up the order of caption and label and you get a warning if you forget to specify them. You don't need two environments (one for the float, one for the table---`tableobject` can do both). \pkg{booktabs} (and \pkg{array}) are loaded automatically (if not disabled, see \cref{package-options}). \begin{examplecode} \documentclass{article} \usepackage{easyfloats} \objectset{warn no label=false} \begin{document} \begin{tableobject}{caption=Some catcodes, env=tabular}{cl} \toprule Catcode & Meaning \\ \midrule 0 & Escape Character \\ 1 & Begin Group \\ 2 & End Group \\ \vdots & \quad \vdots \\ \bottomrule \end{tableobject} \end{document} \end{examplecode} You can reduce typing effort even further by using the `table head` key, see \cref{longtable}. \subsection{Graphic} \label{graphic} Use the \cmd{\includegraphicobject} command to insert a graphic. It is a wrapper around \pkg{graphicx}' `\includegraphics` command taking the same arguments. No need for a surrounding `figure` environment. I have extended the allowed optional keyword argument to also accept caption, label and more. `details` are appended to the caption below the figure but not in the list of figures. Select with the \pkgoptn{graphicx} or \pkgoptn{graphbox} package options whether you want to use the commonly used \pkg{graphicx} package or it's extension \pkg{graphbox}. \begin{examplecode} \documentclass{article} \usepackage{easyfloats} \usepackage{hyperref} \objectset[figure]{graphic width=.8\linewidth} \begin{document} \includegraphicobject[% label = lion, caption = CTAN lion drawing by Duane Bibby, details = Thanks to \href{https://ctan.org/lion/files}{www.ctan.org}., ]{graphics/ctan_lion} \listoffigures \end{document} \end{examplecode} If you omit \key{caption} or `label` the file name is used. See `auto label`, `auto caption`, `auto label strip path` and `auto caption strip path`. \subsection{Subobjects} \label{subobjects-2} Use the \env{subobject} environment to combine two (or more) subobjects to one big object. The `contains subobjects` option causes the `env` option to be applied to the subobjects instead of the containing object. Changing the `subobject linewidth` is usually not necessary but in this example the tables fill only a small part of the width so they are too far apart from each other if each is centered on `.5\linewidth`. Pay attention to *not* insert an empty line between the subobjects, otherwise they will be placed below each other instead of side by side. If you want them to be placed below each other you can use the `ver` option. `\captionsetup` is explained in the \pkg{caption} package documentation~\autocite{caption}. \begin{examplecode} \documentclass{article} \usepackage{easyfloats} \objectset[table]{env=tabular} \captionsetup[sub]{list=true} \begin{document} \begin{tableobject}{contains subobjects, caption = Two test tables, label = tabs abc 123, subobject linewidth = .25\linewidth, } \begin{subobject}{caption=Abc \& 123}{rl} \toprule abc & 123 \\ de & 45 \\ f & 6 \\ \bottomrule \end{subobject} \begin{subobject}{caption=123 \& abc}{lr} \toprule 123 & abc \\ 45 & de \\ 6 & f \\ \bottomrule \end{subobject} \end{tableobject} \end{document} \end{examplecode} \subsection{Longtable} \label{longtable} If you are undecided whether to use floating `tabular`s or \env{longtable}s which can break across pages you can use the following approach. Changing between them is as easy as changing `env=longtable` to `env=tabular` once. The table head and foot are set by the key `table head` and are by default formatted with the \pkg{booktabs} package. (If you don't like this you can change the definition of `table head` with `table head style`.) The column specification cannot be given as a separate argument (like in the example above) but must be set with the `arg` key because otherwise the column specification would be after the table head. \begin{examplecode} \documentclass{article} \usepackage[longtable]{easyfloats} \usepackage{siunitx} \newcommand\pminfty{\multicolumn1r{$\pm\infty$}} \objectset[table]{env=longtable} \begin{document} \begin{tableobject}{% caption = Trigonometric functions, label = trifun, arg = { S[table-format=2.0, table-space-text-post=\si{\degree}] <{\si{\degree}} !\quad *2{S[table-format=+1.2]} S[table-format=+4.2] }, table head = \multicolumn1{c!\quad}{$x$} & $\sin x$ & $\cos x$ & $\tan x$, } 0 & 0.00 & 1.00 & 0.00 \\ 5 & 0.09 & 1.00 & 0.09 \\ 10 & 0.17 & 0.98 & 0.18 \\ 15 & 0.26 & 0.97 & 0.27 \\ 20 & 0.34 & 0.94 & 0.36 \\ 25 & 0.42 & 0.91 & 0.47 \\ 30 & 0.50 & 0.87 & 0.58 \\ 35 & 0.57 & 0.82 & 0.70 \\ 40 & 0.64 & 0.77 & 0.84 \\ 45 & 0.71 & 0.71 & 1.00 \\ 50 & 0.77 & 0.64 & 1.19 \\ 55 & 0.82 & 0.57 & 1.43 \\ 60 & 0.87 & 0.50 & 1.73 \\ 65 & 0.91 & 0.42 & 2.14 \\ 70 & 0.94 & 0.34 & 2.75 \\ 75 & 0.97 & 0.26 & 3.73 \\ 80 & 0.98 & 0.17 & 5.67 \\ 85 & 1.00 & 0.09 & 11.43 \\ 90 & 1.00 & 0.00 & \pminfty \\ \end{tableobject} \begin{tableobject}{% caption = Squared trigonometric functions, label = trifun2, arg = { S[table-format=2.0, table-space-text-post=\si{\degree}] <{\si{\degree}} !\quad *2{S[table-format=+1.2]} S[table-format=+4.2] }, table head = \multicolumn1{c!\quad}{$x$} & {$\sin^2 x$} & {$\cos^2 x$} & {$\tan^2 x$}, } 0 & 0.00 & 1.00 & 0.00 \\ 5 & 0.01 & 0.99 & 0.01 \\ 10 & 0.03 & 0.97 & 0.03 \\ 15 & 0.07 & 0.93 & 0.07 \\ 20 & 0.12 & 0.88 & 0.13 \\ 25 & 0.18 & 0.82 & 0.22 \\ 30 & 0.25 & 0.75 & 0.33 \\ 35 & 0.33 & 0.67 & 0.49 \\ 40 & 0.41 & 0.59 & 0.70 \\ 45 & 0.50 & 0.50 & 1.00 \\ 50 & 0.59 & 0.41 & 1.42 \\ 55 & 0.67 & 0.33 & 2.04 \\ 60 & 0.75 & 0.25 & 3.00 \\ 65 & 0.82 & 0.18 & 4.60 \\ 70 & 0.88 & 0.12 & 7.55 \\ 75 & 0.93 & 0.07 & 13.93 \\ 80 & 0.97 & 0.03 & 32.16 \\ 85 & 0.99 & 0.01 & 130.65 \\ 90 & 1.00 & 0.00 & \pminfty \\ \end{tableobject} \begin{tableobject}{% caption = Cubed trigonometric functions, label = trifun3, arg = { S[table-format=2.0, table-space-text-post=\si{\degree}] <{\si{\degree}} !\quad *2{S[table-format=+1.2]} S[table-format=+4.2] }, table head = \multicolumn1{c!\quad}{$x$} & {$\sin^3 x$} & {$\cos^3 x$} & {$\tan^3 x$}, } 0 & 0.00 & 1.00 & 0.00 \\ 5 & 0.00 & 0.99 & 0.00 \\ 10 & 0.01 & 0.96 & 0.01 \\ 15 & 0.02 & 0.90 & 0.02 \\ 20 & 0.04 & 0.83 & 0.05 \\ 25 & 0.08 & 0.74 & 0.10 \\ 30 & 0.12 & 0.65 & 0.19 \\ 35 & 0.19 & 0.55 & 0.34 \\ 40 & 0.27 & 0.45 & 0.59 \\ 45 & 0.35 & 0.35 & 1.00 \\ 50 & 0.45 & 0.27 & 1.69 \\ 55 & 0.55 & 0.19 & 2.91 \\ 60 & 0.65 & 0.13 & 5.20 \\ 65 & 0.74 & 0.08 & 9.86 \\ 70 & 0.83 & 0.04 & 20.74 \\ 75 & 0.90 & 0.02 & 51.98 \\ 80 & 0.96 & 0.01 & 182.41 \\ 85 & 0.99 & 0.00 & 1493.29 \\ 90 & 1.00 & 0.00 & \pminfty \\ \end{tableobject} \end{document} \end{examplecode} \subsection{Local definitions in tables} \label{local-definitions-in-tables} If you want to define a command locally for one table you cannot put it's definition in the first cell because each cell is a separate group (meaning that the definition will be forgotten at the end of the cell). Instead I provide the `exec` key whose value is executed inside of the object but before `env`. If you want to tinker around with catcodes keep in mind that arguments are always read entirely before expansion and execution. The \eTeX\ primitive `\scantokens` can be useful to define active characters. If you are unfamiliar with how \TeX\ processes a file you can read up on it in \mycite[section~1]{texbytopic}. \begin{examplecode} \documentclass{article} \usepackage{easyfloats} \usepackage[table]{xcolor} % avoid Warning: Font shape `OMS/cmtt/m/n' undefined \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} % fontenc T1 causes unclean/pixelated font on some systems % and trouble with copying ligatures from pdf => change font % lmodern is relatively close to the default font but unmaintained \usepackage{lmodern} \colorlet{rowbg}{gray!50} \newcommand\charsym[1]{\texttt{#1}} \newcommand\charname[1]{$\langle$#1$\rangle$} \begin{document} \begin{tableobject}{% caption = Category Codes, details = Highlighted catcodes have no tokens., label = catcodes, env = tabular, arg = cll, table head = Catcode & Meaning & Characters, exec = {% \catcode`* = \active \scantokens{\def*{\rowcolor{rowbg}}}% \catcode`= = \the\catcode`&% \catcode`, = \the\catcode`&% }, } * 0 = Escape character, \charsym\textbackslash \\ 1 = Begin grouping, \charsym\{ \\ 2 = End grouping, \charsym\} \\ 3 = Math shift, \charsym\$ \\ 4 = Alignment tab, \charsym\& \\ * 5 = End of line, \charname{return} \\ 6 = Parameter, \charsym\# \\ 7 = Superscript, \charsym\^ \\ 8 = Subscript, \charsym\_ \\ * 9 = Ignored character, \charname{null} \\ 10 = Space, \charname{space} and \charname{tab} \\ 11 = Letter, \charsym{a}--\charsym{z} and \charsym{A}--\charsym{Z} \\ 12 = Other, other characters \\ % "In plain TeX this is only the tie character ~" % TeX by Topic, page 30 13 = Active character, \charsym{\string~} \\ * 14 = Comment character, \charsym\% \\ * 15 = Invalid character, \charname{delete} \\ \end{tableobject} \end{document} \end{examplecode} \subsection{New object style~\slash\ `tikzobject`} \label{new-object-style-tikzobject} You can easily define new object environments. For more information see \cref{new-object-styles-and-types}. \begin{examplecode} \documentclass{article} \usepackage{easyfloats} \usepackage{tikz} \NewObjectStyle{tikz}{type=figure, env=tikzpicture} % I am not using `arg=[3D]` so that I can still pass an optional argument to tikz3dobject \NewObjectStyle{tikz3d}{type=figure, env=tikzpicture, exec=\tikzset{3D}} \tikzset{ 3D/.style = { x = {(-3.85mm, -3.85mm)}, y = {(1cm, 0cm)}, z = {(0cm, 1cm)}, }, } \objectset{warn no label=false} \begin{document} \begin{tikzobject}{caption=2D coordinate system} \newcommand\n{5} \newcommand\w{.075} \draw[->] (0,0) -- ++(\n,0); \draw[->] (0,0) -- ++(0,\n); \foreach \i in {1,...,\n-1} { \draw (\i,0) +(0,\w) -- +(0,-\w); \draw (0,\i) +(\w,0) -- +(-\w,0); } \end{tikzobject} \begin{tikz3dobject}{caption=3D coordinate system} \newcommand\n{5} \newcommand\w{.075} \draw[->] (0,0,0) -- ++(\n,0,0); \draw[->] (0,0,0) -- ++(0,\n,0); \draw[->] (0,0,0) -- ++(0,0,\n); \foreach \i in {1,...,\n-1} { \draw (\i,0,0) +(0,\w,0) -- +(0,-\w,0); \draw (0,\i,0) +(\w,0,0) -- +(-\w,0,0); \draw (0,0,\i) +(0,\w,0) -- +(0,-\w,0); } \end{tikz3dobject} \end{document} \end{examplecode} \subsection{Nonfloating objects} \label{nonfloating-objects} If your professor absolutely won't allow floating objects you can easily disable them globally (for all objects based on the \env{object} environment defined by this package which is internally used by \env{tableobject} and \cmd{\includegraphicobject}). \begin{examplecode} \objectset{placement=H} \end{examplecode}
