What does the notation usepackage[table,xcdraw]{xcolor} mean? Which package arguments into which?












3















I saw an argument in a file that displayed:



usepackage[table,xcdraw]{xcolor}


I am a bit confused what is getting parsed into which. It seems that the material in are usually options for xcolor. But in this case they are packages. What does this mean exactly?






tables color

          That's correct.




          But in this case they are packages.





          • I'm not aware of LaTeX packages called table or xcdraw.



          • The option table instructs LaTeX to load the colortbl package in a way that maximizes its compatibility with the xcolor package. Aside: It's a mistake to load the xcolor and colortbl packages independently.



            For more information, see Table 1 in the user guide of the xcolor package.



          • Quoting from p. 23 of the package's user guide: If the option xcdraw is set, PostScript commands will be used to draw frames and color boxes if the dvips driver is set, while PDF code will be used if the document is compiled with pdftex or dvipdfm. The opposite of xcdraw is noxcdraw; it's the default. If noxcdraw is in effect, driver-independent code is used to draw frames and color boxes.

            It seems that the material in are usually options for xcolor.




            That's correct.




            But in this case they are packages.





            • I'm not aware of LaTeX packages called table or xcdraw.



            • The option table instructs LaTeX to load the colortbl package in a way that maximizes its compatibility with the xcolor package. Aside: It's a mistake to load the xcolor and colortbl packages independently.



              For more information, see Table 1 in the user guide of the xcolor package.



            • Quoting from p. 23 of the package's user guide: If the option xcdraw is set, PostScript commands will be used to draw frames and color boxes if the dvips driver is set, while PDF code will be used if the document is compiled with pdftex or dvipdfm. The opposite of xcdraw is noxcdraw; it's the default. If noxcdraw is in effect, driver-independent code is used to draw frames and color boxes.

                    ASUS Zenbook UX433/UX333 — Configure Touchpad-embedded numpad on Linux

                    Image
                    0 1 I have an ASUS Zenbook UX433,on which ASUS decided to innovate by embedding a Numpad inside the touchpad (see picture 1). Toggling between classic touchpad mode and numpad (also turns the touchpad LEDs on) can be done through the golden button in the top-right corner of the touchpad. However, on my Manjaro arch Linux config, this behavior does not work by default and I can only use the touchpad, no numpad. Has anyone been able to configure the numpad to work on Linux, or have any idea how this could be achieved? EDIT1: I have had a look at the official Windows drivers for the UX433FA TouchPad, but was not able to make anything of it. I tried installing them on Linux using tools like NDISWrapper, but they do not detect the TouchPad/Numpad hardware, and my understanding of drivers is too limited.
