Notes
- 1.
The \multiput ( x, y ) ( \(\Delta \) x, \(\Delta \) y ) { n } { } command can be used for drawing the same figure n times, say equidistant parallel lines, starting the first one at (x, y) and incrementing (x, y) each time by (\(\Delta \mathtt{x,}\,\Delta \mathtt{y}\)) for the subsequent figures.
- 2.
The \parbox[ ]{ }{ } command splits its textual argument over multiple lines, if the size of the box is not sufficient to hold the entire texts in a single line.
