This package provides a set of high-quality icons for use in notes for tabletop role-playing games.
The icons are meant to be used in the body text, but they can also be used in other contexts such
as graphics or diagrams. The package comes in two variants, one based on the l3draw
package and one
based on PGF/TikZ.
As of version 1.4.0, an l3draw
variant of the rpgicons
package exists which is loaded by default.
The l3draw
package does not provide the same variety of styles as TikZ does.
The PGF veriant of the rpgicons
package provides the icons as TikZ shapes. Since the commands to
typeset the icons use tikzpicture
environments, these commands should not be used inside another
tikzpicture
. However, because the package defines the icons as TikZ shapes, it is possible to
use the icons in tikzpicture
environments directly. Apart from that, as of version 1.1.0, the
package provides a way to define custom commands to typeset the icons as boxed material which is
safe to use in a tikzpicture context. As of version 1.3.1, the package provides an additional way
to use the icons as TikZ pics.
The rpgicons
package is installed by copying the relevant .sty
file into the working or texmf
directory. The package is loaded by calling \usepackage{rpgicons}
in the preamble of the document.
To load the PGF variant, the package can be loaded with the option pgf
. The l3draw
variant is
loaded per default. The PGF or l3draw
variants can be loaded directly via
\usepackage{rpgicons-pgf}
or\usepackage{rpgicons-l3}
.
