LaTeX Coffee Stains (2009)

Some earlier research on this topic:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;0903.3365" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;0903.3365</a><p>and<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;0812.3367" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;0812.3367</a>

Along similar lines, I&#x27;m a fan of the &quot;latex-therefore&quot; package: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;bgschiller&#x2F;latex-therefore" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;bgschiller&#x2F;latex-therefore</a>

I looked for something similar but with red wine instead of coffee for my PhD thesis. It didn&#x27;t exist so in the end I just used a scanned stain of red wine and the wallpaper package :).

This is right up there with \usepackage{amsmath} as a truly must-have package for any real scientific paper.

Excellent. I&#x27;ve been looking to write some papers in heptapod, and found that LaTeX was woefully not up to the task. This looks like a great starting point for future expansion; thanks!

This could create a whole digital market for food stains. Mac&amp;Cheese, soy sauce, pesto-drip,...... for those whose keyboard&#x2F;desk is also their &#x27;feeding station&#x27; could be huge. Seriously though - its clever and great to have some put their talent to something with humour instead of lets have the 57th variant of some js thingy. Well done.

Yes! This would go wonderfully with LobLib, the Lobster library:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;bae43&#x2F;LobLib&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;bae43&#x2F;LobLib&#x2F;</a>

Love it! Any thoughts on supporting different shades too? I like extra cream.

I&#x27;m wondering if these stains would still be realistic if made on a full black background, and an evenly colored background.

Slow load but eventually got through.<p>Here&#x27;s a direct link to the PDF with examples of the coffee stains provided:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;hanno-rein.de&#x2F;downloads&#x2F;coffee.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;hanno-rein.de&#x2F;downloads&#x2F;coffee.pdf</a>

Seems to be down for me.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;webcache.googleusercontent.com&#x2F;search?q=cache:93GWNN820H8J:hanno-rein.de&#x2F;archives&#x2F;349+&amp;cd=1&amp;hl=en&amp;ct=clnk&amp;gl=us" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;webcache.googleusercontent.com&#x2F;search?q=cache:93GWNN8...</a>

Can we have wine stains and blood stains too?

A must have.
