Subject: Speech bubbles
Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2011 17:12:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19573160-2D86-4494-BC67-318959776684@gmail.com> (raw)
Evening all:
Has anyone got a nicer \speechbubble definition up their sleeve?
Here is not-nice one, so you know the floor:
\define [1] \speechBubble
{\blank
\framed [width=.6\textwidth ,autowidth=force,align={flushleft}, background=color, backgroundcolor=darkblue,
foreground=color, foregroundcolor=white,
frame=off,corner=0,backgroundoffset=5pt,] {#1}
~~~ \tfd \startcolor[darkblue]{'} \stopcolor \tfa
\blank}
Called with things like:
\speechBubble {They could be above or below the frequency we can hear, so called infra-sound or ultra-sound, or the amplitude could be just too small: so not enough power in the radiating pathway for the detector to respond.}
I guess there are some people with xs metapost skills out there... But is there as simple way to get a nice curved pointer left or right from the bottom of that rounded rectangle frame?
