Quick Start
\documentclass{article} \usepackage[frame,coords]{eigo} % Enable enhanced borders and coordinates \begin{document} % Customize colors if desired \eigocustomonecolor{255,0,255} % Bright magenta \eigocustomtwocolor{0,255,255} % Cyan % Set up a position \blackstones{d4,k10,q16} \whitestones{d16,k4,q4} \customonestones{d10} % Use custom color % Show the full board with enhanced borders \showfullgoban % Show just a corner \showgoban[a1,j10] % Add numbered sequence with color alternation \autoblackfirst[1]{e4,f5,g6} % Show the result \showgoban[e4] \end{document}
Color Customization
NEW FEATURE: Full control over all stone colors:
% Customize standard colors \eigoblackcolor{50,50,50} % Dark gray instead of black \eigowhitecolor{240,240,240} % Off-white instead of pure white \eigoredcolor{180,0,0} % Deep red \eigobluecolor{0,0,180} % Deep blue \eigogreencolor{0,120,0} % Dark green % Customize additional colors \eigocustomonecolor{128,0,128} % Purple (default) \eigocustomtwocolor{255,165,0} % Orange (default) % Use all colors in your diagrams \blackstones{d4} \whitestones{d5} \redstones{e4} \bluestones{e5} \greenstones{f4} \customonestones{f5} \customtwostones{g4}
Package Options
color/bw: Enable/disable colored stones and backgroundsframe/noframe: Show/hide enhanced board frame and backgroundcoords/nocoords: Show/hide coordinate labelsdebug: Enable debug output with detailed logging
Example: \usepackage[frame,coords,color]{eigo}
Board Sizes
Supports boards from 2×2 to 25×25 with extended size options:
\gobansize{19}- Standard 19×19 board\gobansize{13}- 13×13 board\gobansize{9}- 9×9 board
Extended size presets with validation:
\tinygoban- 4mm per intersection (for overviews)\smallgoban- 6mm per intersection\normalgoban- 8mm per intersection (default)\largegoban- 12mm per intersection\hugegoban- 16mm per intersection\massivegoban- 20mm per intersection (maximum practical)
The package automatically validates sizes and issues warnings for very small (<2mm) or very large (>20mm) unit sizes.
Enhanced Features
Border Display
When using \eigoframe with full board display:
- Thick 2pt borders around the complete board
- Colored background in color mode
- Appearance suitable for publication
- Automatic detection of full vs partial board display
Advanced Automatic Numbering
- Skip positions: Use
-in position lists to skip numbering while maintaining sequence - Alternating colors:
\autoblackfirst[1]{d4,d5,-,e5}(skips d5, continues with correct numbers) - Monochrome sequences:
\blackn[1]{d4,e4,f4}creates sequence 1,3,5 - Flexible starting numbers: Begin sequences at any number
Size Information Commands
\theeigountisize % Get current unit size \eigosizeinfo % Display current size information
Multiple Boards
Use \usegoban{n} to work with board number n, each with independent color settings:
\usegoban{1} \eigoblackcolor{0,0,0} % Standard black for main line \blackstones{d4,k10} \usegoban{2} \eigoblackcolor{100,100,100} % Gray for variation \blackstones{d4,k10,q16}

Advanced Examples
Publication-Quality Problem Diagram
\usepackage[frame,coords]{eigo} \cleargoban \eigoframe % Enable borders \blackstones{f3,g3,h3,g4,h4,g5} \whitestones{f4,f5,g6,h5,h6} \gobansymbol{f6}{A} \gobansymbol{h7}{B} \showgoban[e2,j8] % Show with enhanced border
Multi-Color Game Analysis
\eigoblackcolor{0,0,0} % Black for actual moves \eigoredcolor{200,0,0} % Red for good moves \eigobluecolor{0,0,200} % Blue for questionable moves \eigocustomonecolor{0,150,0} % Green for best moves \blackstones{d4,k10} % Actual game \redstones{d10} % Good alternative \bluestones{q4} % Questionable move \customonestones{k4} % Best move
Variation Tree with Color Coding
% Main line (Board 1) \usegoban{1} \eigoblackcolor{0,0,0} \blackstones{d4,q16,d16,q4} % Variation A (Board 2) \usegoban{2} \eigoblackcolor{100,0,0} % Slightly red tint \blackstones{d4,q16,d16} \customonestones[1]{q3} % Variation move in custom color % Variation B (Board 3) \usegoban{3} \eigoblackcolor{0,0,100} % Slightly blue tint \blackstones{d4,q16,d16} \customtwostones[1]{o17} % Different variation
Troubleshooting
Color Issues
- Colors not changing: Ensure color commands are called before stone placement
- Custom colors reverting: Color changes affect only subsequent stone placements
- Colors too similar: Use high contrast RGB values for clarity
Display Issues
- Borders not showing: Enable frame mode with
\eigoframeand use full board display - Board too small/large: Use size validation - package warns about extreme sizes
- Coordinates misaligned: Adjust
\eigocoorddistance{0.7}as needed
Debug Mode
Enable comprehensive debugging:
\usepackage[debug]{eigo}
Provides detailed console output about position parsing, color changes, size validation, and rendering decisions.
