_figchild: Figures for Creating Children's Activities_

This package was created with the aim of facilitating the work of Elementary School teachers who need to create colorful and attractive activities for their students. It is a product of the Computational Mathematics discipline offered at the Federal University of Viçosa – Campus UFV – Florestal by professor Fernando de Souza Bastos. At the time, professor Fernando was a faculty member at the UFV Florestal campus. Currently, he is a professor in the Department of Statistics at the UFV main campus in Viçosa. The package makes use of the TikZ and xcolor packages and others.

**Current version:** v3.1.2

## Changes in this version

### What's New in This Version

* **Full TikZ Options Support:**
  All TikZ options can now be applied directly by including them inside square brackets after the figure command (e.g., `\fcAbajourA[scale=0.5, rotate=45]`). This makes it easier to customize figures while maintaining compatibility with standard TikZ syntax.

* **Corrections and Enhancements:**
  Several figures have been revised and corrected to improve visual accuracy and consistency.

* **Greater Flexibility:**
  This version increases the overall versatility of the package, allowing users to seamlessly integrate figures with various TikZ styles and transformations.

* **Backward Compatibility:**
  All previously available figure commands and options remain fully functional, ensuring a smooth update process for existing documents.

* **Improved Documentation:**
  The updated documentation now includes detailed examples and explanations for advanced usage.

* **Compatibility fixes:**
  Optional TikZ arguments are applied only once to each figure, global TikZ defaults are no longer changed, and figure macros no longer introduce unintended surrounding spaces.
