\centerline{\textbf{\LARGE Some Examples for the \lcd\ package.\footnote{The
source of this example file is part of \texttt{lcd.dtx}.}}}

As seen in the headline and here, the \lcd\ package calculates the size for
LCD-text in normal text (\verb|\textLCD|) automaticly. It works for all
fontsizes:

\begin{center}
{\tiny MM M \lcd\ M MM tiny}\hfill{\Huge Huge MM M \lcd\ M MM}

{\scriptsize MM M \lcd\ M MM scriptsize}\hfill{\huge huge MM M \lcd\ M MM}

{\footnotesize MM M \lcd\ M MM footnotesize}\hfill{\LARGE LARGE MM M \lcd\ M MM}

{\small MM M \lcd\ M MM small}\hfill{\Large Large MM M \lcd\ M MM}

{\normalsize MM M \lcd\ M MM normalsize}\hfill{\large large MM M \lcd\ M MM}
\end{center}

Now let's have some colored
\LCDcolors{darkgreen}{lightgreen}\textLCD[0]{8}|LCD-text|.
Here first the colors where set with
\verb|\LCDcolors{darkgreen}{lightgreen}|\footnote{The color names where
defined with \texttt{\bs definecolor} from the \textsf{color} package in the
preamble.}
and then the LCD-text where done with \verb+\textLCD[0]{8}|LCD-text|+.
To invert the LCD, just exchange the
\LCDcolors{lightgreen}{darkgreen}\textLCD[0]{6}|colors|
(\verb|\LCDcolors{lightgreen}{darkgreen}|).

\begin{minipage}[t]{.5\textwidth}
Now some seperate LCD representations.  But first let's  change the colors
to some not as ugly. The LCD was generated with
\begin{verbatim}
\LCD{4}{18}|LCD representation|
           |made with the LCD |
           |package for LaTeX |
           |04.01.2004 {clock} 18:23|
\end{verbatim}
\end{minipage}
\hspace{\fill}
\begin{minipage}[t]{.46\textwidth}
\mbox{}

\LCDcolors{darkblue}{lightblue}%
\LCD{4}{18}|LCD representation|
           |made with the LCD |
           |package for LaTeX |
           |04.01.2004 {clock} 18:23|
\end{minipage}

The \verb|{clock}| is a so called multi-letter character. It generates the
clock symbol.

As you can see, there is a black colored frame around it. The frame color
can be changed with the optional first argument of \verb|\LCDcolors|
(\verb|\LCDcolors[red]|\ldots; left part of figure 1). And
with \verb|\LCDnoframe| you can disable frames (reenabled with
\verb|\LCDframe|; right part of figure 1).
Of course \verb|\LCD| works within a figure environment.

\begin{figure}[h]
