The mdframed package

Examples for framemethod=TikZ

In this document I collect various examples for framemethod=TikZ. Some presented

examples are more or less exorbitant.

1 Loading
In the preamble only the package mdframed width the option framemethod=TikZ is loaded. All other
modifications will be done by \mdfdefinestyle or \mdfsetup.
Note
Every \global inside the examples is necessary to work with my own created environment
tltxmdfexample*.

2 Examples
All examples have the following settings:

\mdfsetup{skipabove=\topskip,skipbelow=\topskip}

An \textit{inhomogeneous linear} differential equation has the form
\begin{align}
L[v ] = f,
\end{align}
where $L$ is a linear differential operator, $v$ is the dependent
variable, and $f$ is a given non−zero function of the independent
variables alone.
