Bicolor character

Post by primu2002 »

Hi All.

I would like to have a character 'w' that is half green, half red.

Has anybody a clue for this issue?

Bye!

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

There is a suggestion with tikz:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{tikz}
\newcommand\grletter[1]{%
  \tikz[baseline=(l.base),inner sep=0pt,outer sep=0pt]{
    \node[green](l){\phantom{#1}};
    \begin{scope}
      \clip(l.south)rectangle(l.north west);\node[green]at(l){#1};
    \end{scope}
    \begin{scope}
      \clip(l.south)rectangle(l.north east);\node[red]at(l){#1};
    \end{scope}
  }%
}
\begin{document}
Text \grletter{w} Text \grletter{p}
\end{document}
