Oval Box with Coloured Frame

Post by amy »

Hi I am trying to make a poster for my fourth year dissertation project and have used box environments for the environment using

Code: Select all

\newcommand\cBOX[4]{\begin{center}\fcolorbox{#4}{#3}{%
 \begin{minipage}{#1\columnwidth}#2\end{minipage}}\end{center}\vfill}
is it possible to change the boxes so that the frames have oval edges? I have the fancy box package but this appears to only have black frames.
Thanks.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

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
