graphics-cfg
Provides default configuration files that automatically set up the correct drivers for color and graphics handling in LaTeX documents.
Overview
Streamlines the setup of essential LaTeX graphics and color functionality by providing pre-configured driver settings that work across different TeX engines and output formats.
- Includes default configuration files (color.cfg and graphics.cfg) that handle driver selection automatically.
- Ensures compatibility between different TeX engines, particularly managing the transition between pdfTeX and LuaTeX.
- Eliminates the need for manual driver specification in most common document scenarios.
- Particularly important for document portability and consistent behavior across different LaTeX installations.
Getting Started
The graphics-cfg package provides configuration files for the LaTeX color and graphics packages. You don't need to load it directly as it's automatically loaded by the graphics or color packages:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx} % or \usepackage{color}
The appropriate driver configuration will be selected automatically based on the LaTeX engine you're using, including special handling for LuaTeX versions 0.87 and newer.
