Re: [vox-tech] latex: shaded box in picture environment

["Mark K. Kim" <lugodMAPS@cbreak.org>]

Try:

  \usepackage{eepic}
  ...
  \put(0,0)\shade\path(11,11)(40,11)(40,65)(11,65)(11,11)
  \end{picture}

But it only gives one shade of gray.  There might be some parameter you
can tweak to get more shades though.

BTW, since we just love pointing out things that came from UC Davis, just
wanted to mention that eepic was written by a guy from UC Davis in the
late 80's. =P
