This document illustrates the possible variations in displaying playing cards available
in the LATEX pst-poker package.
pst-poker is based on the package poker from Olaf Encke (http://web.mit.edu/
foley/games/Arcadia/sr/poker/pokersty).

pst-poker itself loads the following packages:
\RequirePackage{pstricks,pst-blur,multido}
\RequirePackage{graphicx}
\RequirePackage[tiling]{pst-fill}
If you want to pass some optional arguments to one or more of these packages you have to use the
macro \PassOptionsToPackage before loading pst-poker. The best way is before the document
class. For example
\PassOptionsToPackage{graphicx}{xetex}
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pst-poker}
[...]
2 Inline Poker symbols
There are several possible styles for inline cards. The default way is as small cards, i.e. A♣
Kr
J♠
10♣ .
They can also be displayed as simple symbols A♣ Kr Qq J♠ 10♣ or as boxed symbols A ♣ K r
Q q J ♠ 10 ♣ . A card back is available, too.
It is also possible to variate the used colorset. In addition to the standard red/black colors, a four
color set A♣Kr
J♠
10♣ as often used in online poker can be chosen. When colors are not desired, i.e. for
printing purposes, the possible alternatives are a grayscale version A♣ Kr Qq J♠10♣ or complete
black/white A ♣ K ♥ Q ♦ J ♠ 10 ♣ with outlined red symbols.
3 Poker cards
The big cards offer a lot of options for design. The default design looks like this.

4 Usage 8
4 Usage
To make the poker package available within a LATEX document you have to add
\usepackage{pst-poker}
to the preamble. Then you can change the options used with the command
\psset{option=value[,option=value]}
anywhere within the document.
4.1 Inline cards
To print inline cards you just need to call the macro associated with the card you want.
\As\tenh\sevd\sevc\Qd
creates the cards A♠
10r
7q
7♣Qq
.
They are coded by their value and suit. Use this table to select the value
Ace King Queen Jack 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2
A K Q J ten nine eig sev six five four tre two
and the next to select the letter for the suit:
Spade Heart Diamond Club
s h d c
You can influence the display of the inline cards with the options inline and colorset.
Option Values Description
inline symbol uses simple symbols to depict cards
boxed draws rounded boxes around the symbols
card * draws simplified cards with value and suit stacked vertically
colorset 2c * suits in red and black colors
4c suits in black/red/blue/green colors
gs grayscaled suits
bw black/white and outlined suits
*: default
Options
Here we have a lot of options available to change the appearance of the cards. They are explained
in table 1.
Since the peek option modifies the corners setting which in turn resets peek, it is advisable to
first declare the corners option and then use the peek option if necessary.
The same applies to the framebg and backcolor options modifying the colorset option.
Advanced constructs
There are several commands available for the advanced placement of cards.
\crdpair{\crdKs}{\crdtenh}%
\crdflop{\crdsevd}{\crdsevc}{\crdQd}%
\crdKc\crdKd%
