\section{Library \mylib{vignette}}\label{sec:vignette}%
\tcbset{external/prefix=external/vignette_}%
The library is loaded by a package option or inside the preamble by:
\begin{dispListing}
\tcbuselibrary{vignette}
\end{dispListing}
This also loads the \mylib{skins} library, see \zvref{sec:skins},
and the |fadings| library of \tikzname\ \cite{tantau:tikz_and_pgf}.


\subsection{Vignette Drawing}\label{subsec:vignettedrawing}

\begin{docCommand}[doc new=2016-04-22]{tcbvignette}{\marg{options}}
  In this context, a \emph{vignette} is a four part rectangular frame.
  It is constructed as several \tikzname\ paths and, therefore, can only be
  used inside a |tikzpicture| environment or inside \refEnv{tcolorbox} options.

  The \meta{options} control position, size and style settings of the vignette.
  Theses options have the common key path |/tcb/vig/| and are described in
  the following.

  The next examples show direct \refCom{tcbvignette} usage without
  a \refEnv{tcolorbox}.

\begin{dispExample*}{sbs,righthand width=3cm,center lower}
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \tcbvignette{}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{dispExample*}

\begin{dispExample*}{sbs,righthand width=3cm,center lower}
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \node[draw,fill=blue!15!white] (A) {Test};
  \tcbvignette{outside node=A,raised color=blue}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{dispExample*}

\begin{dispExample*}{sbs,righthand width=3cm,center lower}
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \node[draw,fill=blue!15!white] (A) {Another Test};
  \tcbvignette{size=3mm,outside node=A,
    north style=red,east style=yellow,
    south style=blue,west style=green}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{dispExample*}

\begin{dispExample*}{sbs,righthand width=3cm,center lower}
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \node[inner sep=3mm,fill=red!75] (A) {Test};
  \tcbvignette{over node=A,fade in}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{dispExample*}

\refCom{tcbvignette} can be used directly inside appropriate options keys
for \refEnv{tcolorbox}. Note that options like \refKey{/tcb/underlay} need
\refKey{/tcb/enhanced} or similar settings.

\begin{dispExample*}{sbs,righthand width=3cm,center lower}
\begin{tcolorbox}[enhanced,size=small,sharp corners,
  colback=green!10,colframe=green!50!black,
  boxrule=1mm,titlerule=0mm,
  title=My title,center title,fonttitle=\bfseries,
  underlay={\tcbvignette{size=1mm,inside node=frame,
      raised color=green!50!black}}]
    This is a tcolorbox.
\end{tcolorbox}
\end{dispExample*}

Mostly, convenient short cuts like \refKey{/tcb/underlay vignette} can
be used to add a \emph{vignette} to a \refEnv{tcolorbox}. Here, \refCom{tcbvignette}
is used internally.

\begin{dispExample*}{sbs,righthand width=3cm,center lower}
\begin{tcolorbox}[enhanced,size=small,sharp corners,
  colback=green!10,colframe=green!50!black,
  boxrule=1mm,titlerule=0mm,
  title=My title,center title,fonttitle=\bfseries,
  underlay vignette]
    This is a tcolorbox.
\end{tcolorbox}
\end{dispExample*}

\end{docCommand}

\end{vigTcbKey}


\begin{vigTcbKey}[][doc new=2016-05-24]{scope}{=\marg{style}}{no default, initially empty}
  The four \emph{vignette} parts are drawn inside a \tikzname\ |scope|
  environment which takes the given \meta{style} as option.
\begin{dispExample*}{sbs,righthand width=3cm,center lower}
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \tcbvignette{scope={transparency group,opacity=0.25}}

  \refKey{/tcb/vig/north style},
  \refKey{/tcb/vig/south style},
  \refKey{/tcb/vig/east style}, and

\begin{vigTcbKey}[][doc new=2016-04-22]{draw method}{=\docValue{direct}\textbar\docValue{clipped}}{no default, initially |direct|}
  Especially, if shadings or fadings are used, the drawn \emph{vignette}
  graphs are displayed sometimes not as perfect as expected. Glitches and
  imperfections are very dependent on the previewer software.
  The \refKey{/tcb/vig/draw method} intends to give a choice of alternative
  drawing methods.
  \begin{itemize}
  \item\docValue{direct}: The \emph{vignette} parts are drawn/filled
    by using a single \tikzname\ graph. This is the preferred (and default)
    method for solid color graphs.
  \item\docValue{clipped}: The \emph{vignette} parts are drawn somewhat
    oversized and are clipped to the intended region.
    In combination with shadings and fadings this seems to give a
    better/different optical result (depends on the previewer).
  \end{itemize}

\subsection{Generic Fading Settings}\label{subsec:vignettefading}

The |fadings| library of \tikzname\ \cite{tantau:tikz_and_pgf} is loaded
automatically by the \mylib{vignette} library.
Amongst others, the fadings
\docFading{west},
\docFading{east},
\docFading{north}, and
\docFading{south} are defined inside the |fadings| library.

The \mylib{vignette} library adds some more fadings called
\docFading{semi west},
\docFading{semi east},
\docFading{semi north}, and
\docFading{semi south}.
These fadings are much \emph{weaker} than the normal fadings.

\begin{dispExample*}{sbs,righthand width=3cm,center lower}
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \fill [black!20] (0,0) rectangle (1,1);

\subsection{Vignette as Underlay}\label{subsec:vignetteunderlay}

\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2016-04-22]{underlay vignette}{\colOpt{=\marg{options}}}{style, no default}
  This puts a \refCom{tcbvignette} with the given \meta{options}
  as \refKey{/tcb/underlay} to a \refEnv{tcolorbox}.
  The dimensions of the \emph{vignette} are matched to the dimensions of
  the \refEnv{tcolorbox}. For example, \refKey{/tcb/leftrule} is used as
  \refKey{/tcb/vig/west size}. Also, \refKey{/tcb/colframe} is used as
  \refKey{/tcb/vig/raised color}.

  For a \refKey{/tcb/breakable} tcolorbox, the \emph{vignette} is also
  been broken.
  Alternatively, \refCom{tcbvignette} could be used directly inside
  an \refKey{/tcb/underlay} with appropriate settings.

\begin{dispExample*}{sbs,righthand width=3cm,center lower}

  This is a special style derived from \refKey{/tcb/underlay vignette},
  where the frame color is shaded to create a soft raised frame impression.

\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2016-04-22]{underlay raised fading vignette}{\colOpt{=\marg{options}}}{style, no default}
  This style gives a similar effect as \refKey{/tcb/underlay raised shading vignette},
  but a path fading is used here. Different optical impression are very
  previewer-dependent.
\begin{dispExample*}{sbs,righthand width=3cm,center lower}

\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2016-04-22]{underlay shade in vignette}{\colOpt{=\marg{options}}}{style, no default}
  This is a special style derived from \refKey{/tcb/underlay vignette},
  where the frame color is shaded into the interior color.
\begin{dispExample*}{sbs,righthand width=3cm,center lower}
\begin{tcolorbox}[enhanced,sharp corners,frame hidden,

\subsection{Vignette as Finish}\label{subsec:vignettefinish}


\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2016-04-22]{finish vignette}{\colOpt{=\marg{options}}}{style, no default}
  This puts a \refCom{tcbvignette} with the given \meta{options}
  as \refKey{/tcb/finish} to a \refEnv{tcolorbox}.
  The default style settings create a raised frame impression by
  drawing black and white color parts with reduced opacity.

\begin{dispExample*}{sbs,righthand width=3cm,center lower}
\begin{tcolorbox}[enhanced,size=small,
  colback=green!10,colframe=green!50!black,
  boxrule=0.5mm,titlerule=0mm,

  This puts a \refCom{tcbvignette} with the given \meta{options}

  The default style settings create a soft raised frame impression by
  drawing fading black and white color parts.

\begin{docTcbKey}[][doc new=2016-04-22]{finish fading vignette}{\colOpt{=\marg{options}}}{style, no default}
  This puts a \refCom{tcbvignette} with the given \meta{options}
  as \refKey{/tcb/finish} to a \refEnv{tcolorbox}.
  The default style settings fade the box into white from inside to outside.
  Note that \refKey{/tcb/vig/over node} is used here.
  \refKey{/tcb/vig/over node offset} can be adapted to overlap the box
  more or less. The fade color can be set using
  \refKey{/tcb/vig/base color}.
