Need help

Error message: I can't find file pgflibrarytikzcalendar.code.tex

I installed the put the pgf directory to /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/

and also in /usr/share/texfm/tex/generic but it did not work.

I am using Fedora10 if it is important. Thank you

Really nice!

But is there any way of changing the language? I would like this with Norwegian names of the months.

Hi Hedinn

you can manually change month name by adding the option 'month text=\textcolor{red}{name}' in the command calendar for each face :

face 1={ \calendar [month text=\textcolor{red}{Januar}, dates=\the\year-01-01 to \the\year-01-last];}, face 2={ \calendar [month text=\textcolor{red}{Februar},dates=\the\year-02-01 to \the\year-02-last];},

...

Looks quite cool! I'm going to print one.

P.S. Thanks to Bastien. English is not the only language in the world.

You can also replace month names while keeping the original format:

face 1={ \calendar [month text=\bfseries\textcolor{red}{Enero} \%y0, dates=2011-01-01 to 2011-01-last];}, face 2={ \calendar [month text=\bfseries\textcolor{red}{Febrero} \%y0, dates=2011-02-01 to 2011-02-last];}, face 3={ \calendar [month text=\bfseries\textcolor{red}{Marzo} \%y0, dates=2011-03-01 to 2011-03-last];}, and so on...
