Post by Martin SaloisPost by Geoff OstrinHows does one colour an \hrule command?
\usepackage{color}
\begingroup\color{#1}\hrule\endgroup%
Thankyou for the replies. I see that this works, but within the
package I am using it does not seem to nest. I am using proof.sty,
this enables me to make proof trees of the form
A B
-----
C
When I dig into this package I find the following:
\setbox\ResultBox=\vbox{
\moveright \UpperAdjust \box\@UpperPart
\nointerlineskip \kern\inferLineSkip
\moveright \RuleAdjust \vbox{\hrule width\RuleWidth}\relax
\nointerlineskip \kern\inferLineSkip
\moveright \LowerAdjust \box\@LowerPart }\relax
This is the only place where \hrule appears and I know that it draws
the appropriate line. I can colour this line, but when I nest the
command being defined so that I can have a tree as follows:
A
---
B C
------
D
I cannot obtain the rules in different colours, it seems to always
default to black. Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance,
Geoff.
ps: here is the style package proof.sty....

% Usage:
% In \documentstyle, specify an optional style `proof', say,

%
% The following macros are available:
%
% In all the following macros, all the arguments such as
% <Lowers> and <Uppers> are processed in math mode.
%
% \infer<Lower><Uppers>
% draws an inference.
%
% Use & in <Uppers> to delimit upper formulae.
% <Uppers> consists more than 0 formulae.
%
% \infer returns \hbox{ ... } or \vbox{ ... } and
% sets \@LeftOffset and \@RightOffset globally.
%
% \infer[<Label>]<Lower><Uppers>
% draws an inference labeled with <Label>.
%
% \infer*<Lower><Uppers>
% draws a many step deduction.
%
% \infer*[<Label>]<Lower><Uppers>
% draws a many step deduction labeled with <Label>.
%
% \deduce<Lower><Uppers>
% draws an inference without a rule.
%
% \deduce[<Proof>]<Lower><Uppers>
% draws a many step deduction with a proof name.
%
% Example:
% If you want to write
% B C
% -----
% A D
% ----------
% E
% use
% \infer{E}{
% A
% &
% \infer{D}{B & C}
