For % instance if the set |dpc| is to have the keyword |scale| then I % would define.\\ % | \define@key{dpc}{scale}{scale ({\tt\string#1})\\}|\\ % The first argument of |\define@key| is the set of keywords being % used, the second is the keyword, and the third is the function to % call. This function will be given as |#1| the \meta{value} specified % by the user. % % Normally it is an error to omit the `=\meta{value}' however if an % optional \meta{value} is supplied when the keyword is defined, then % just the keyword need be supplied.\\ % |\define@key{dpc}{clip}[true]{...}|\\ % For `|clip|' you can go `|clip = true|' or `|clip = false|' or % just `|clip|', which is the same as `|clip = true|' % % To use these keywords, just call `|\setkeys|' with a comma % separated list of settings, each of the form % \meta{key}=\meta{value}, or just \meta{key}. Any white space around % the `|=|' and `|,|' is ignored. % % As the \meta{key} is passed as a macro argument, if it consists % entirely of a |{ }| group, the outer braces are stripped off. Thus % |,key=foo,| and |key=,{foo},| are equivalent. This fact enables one to % `hide' any commas or equals signs that must appear in the value. i.e.\ % in |foo={1,2,3},bar=4|, |foo| gets the value |1,2,3|, the comma after % |1| does not terminate the keyval pair, as it is `hidden' by the % braces. % % Empty entries, with nothing between the commas, are silently ignored. % This means that it is not an error to have a comma after the last % term, or before the first. % % \section{Example} % % We may extend the examples above to give a `fake' graphics % inclusion macro, with a syntax similar to that used in the psfig % macros. % % \makeatletter % \def\dpcgraphics{\@ifnextchar[\@dpcgraphics{\@dpcgraphics[]}} % % |\dpcgraphics| has one optional argument which is passed through % |\setkeys|, and one mandatory argument, the filename.

Except for the last, they must all be given a value if % used. % % Note how in the following, any white space arround |=| or |,| is % ignored, as are the `empty' arguments caused by extra commas. Note % also that each macro receives {\em exactly\/} the tokens that you % specify as arguments, no premature expansion is done. % % \begin{verbatim} % \def\dpcgraphics{\@ifnextchar[\@dpcgraphics{\@dpcgraphics[]}} % \def\@dpcgraphics[#1]#2{{\setkeys{dpc}{#1}INPUT: #2}} % % \define@key{dpc}{scale}{scale ({\tt\string#1\relax})\\} % \define@key{dpc}{clip}[true]{clip ({\tt\string#1\relax})\\} % \end{verbatim} % % \begin{minipage}{.4\textwidth} % \begin{verbatim} % \def\scalemacro{9} % \dpcgraphics % [ height =4in, , % width = 3in, % scale = \scalemacro, % bb = 20 20 300 400 , % clip, % ]{aaa} % \end{verbatim} % \end{minipage} % \hfill % \begin{minipage}{.4\textwidth} % \def\scalemacro{9} %\dpcgraphics % [ height =4in, , % width = 3in, % scale = \scalemacro , % bb = 20 20 300 400 , % clip , % ]{aaa} % \end{minipage} % % % \section{The Internal Interface} % A declaration of the form:\\ % |\define@key{family}{key}{...}|\\ % Defines a macro |\KV@prefix@key| with one argument. When used in a % keyval list, the macro receives the value as its argument. % % A declaration of the form:\\ % |\define@key{family}{key}[default]{...}|\\ % Defines a macro |\KV@family@key| as above, however it also defines the % macro |\KV@family@key@default| as a macro with no arguments, and % definition\\ % |\KV@family@key{default}|. % % Thus if macros are defined using |\define@key|, the use of a key with % no value \ldots|,foo,|\ldots\ is always equivalent to the use of the % key with some value, \ldots|,foo=default,|\ldots. However a package % writer may wish that the `default' behaviour for some key is not % directly equivalent to using that key with a value. (In particular, as % pointed out to me by Timothy Van Zandt, you may wish to omit error % checking on the default value as you know it is correct.) In these % cases one simply needs to define the two macros % |\KV@|\meta{family}|@key| and |\KV@|\meta{family}|@key@default| % directly using |\def| (or |\newcommand|). I do not supply a user % interface for this type of definition, but it is supported in the % sense that I will try to ensure that any future upgrades of this % package do not break styles making use of these `low level' % definitions. % % \StopEventually{} % % \section{The Macros} % % From version~1.05, all `internal' macros associated to keys have names % of the form:\\ % |\KV@|\meta{family}|@|\meta{key} or % |\KV@|\meta{family}|@|\meta{key}|@|\meta{default} % % \begin{macrocode} %<*package> %<*!plain> \ProvidesPackage{keyval}[1994/02/01 v1.06 (DPC)] \wlog{Package: keyval \csname ver@keyval.sty\endcsname} % % \end{macrocode} % % \begin{macro}{\setkeys} % The top level macro. |#2| should be a comma separated values of the % form \meta{key} |=| \meta{value} or just simply \meta{key}. % The macro associated with this key in the `family' |#1| is called with % argument \meta{value}.
