+\maketitle
+
+\begin{abstract}
+The \texttt{weekschedule} class provides a simple and flexible way to create
+professional weekly schedule calendars in LaTeX. It supports customizable time
+ranges, multiple event classes with color coding, and various display options
+including 12-hour and 24-hour time formats. The class uses TikZ for rendering,
+producing high-quality vector graphics suitable for both screen viewing and
+printing.

+\newpage
+
+\section{Introduction}
+
+The \texttt{weekschedule} class is designed to create clean, professional
+weekly schedule calendars. It automatically handles layout, time formatting,
+and event placement, allowing you to focus on your schedule content rather
+than formatting details.
+
+\subsection{Requirements}
+
+The class requires the following packages, which are automatically loaded:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \texttt{geometry} (for page layout)
+\item \texttt{tikz} (for drawing the schedule)
+\item \texttt{xcolor} (for color definitions)
+\item \texttt{pgfmath} (for mathematical calculations)
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsection{Installation}
+
+Place the \texttt{weekschedule.cls} file in the same directory as your
+document, or in your local TeX tree. No additional installation steps are
+required.
+
+\section{Quick Start}
+
+Here is a minimal example to get you started:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\documentclass{weekschedule}
+
+\scheduletitle{My Weekly Schedule}
+\timefrom{8:00}
+\timeto{17:00}
+\twelvehourtime
+
+\eventclass{Work}{255,200,200}
+\event{Work}{Meeting}{Monday}{9:00}{10:00}
+
+\begin{document}
+\printschedule
+\end{document}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+This creates a simple schedule with one event on Monday from 9:00 to 10:00.
+
+\section{Command Reference}
+
+\subsection{Basic Configuration}
+
+\DescribeMacro{\scheduletitle}
+Sets the title that appears at the top of the schedule.
+\begin{verbatim}
+\scheduletitle{Weekly Schedule - Spring 2026}
+\end{verbatim}
+Default: \texttt{Weekly Schedule}
+
+\DescribeMacro{\scheduleauthor}
+Sets the author name that appears below the title (optional).
+\begin{verbatim}
+\scheduleauthor{Douglas B. Rumbaugh}
+\end{verbatim}
+Default: empty (no author displayed)
+
+\DescribeMacro{\timefrom}
+Sets the start time for the schedule display. The time should be in
+\texttt{HH:MM} format (24-hour format).
+\begin{verbatim}
+\timefrom{8:00}
+\end{verbatim}
+Default: \texttt{8:00}
+
+\DescribeMacro{\timeto}
+Sets the end time for the schedule display. The time should be in
+\texttt{HH:MM} format (24-hour format).
+\begin{verbatim}
+\timeto{18:00}
+\end{verbatim}
+Default: \texttt{18:00}
+
+\subsection{Time Format}
+
+\DescribeMacro{\twelvehourtime}
+\DescribeMacro{\twentyfourhourtime}
+These commands control how times are displayed in the schedule.
+\begin{verbatim}
+\twelvehourtime % Display as 9:00 AM, 2:00 PM, etc.
+\twentyfourhourtime % Display as 9:00, 14:00, etc.
+\end{verbatim}
+Default: 12-hour format
+
+\subsection{Week Configuration}
+
+\DescribeMacro{\weekworkweek}
+\DescribeMacro{\weekfullsunday}
+\DescribeMacro{\weekfullmonday}
+These commands control which days of the week are displayed.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\weekworkweek % Monday through Friday (default)
+\weekfullsunday % Sunday through Saturday (Sunday first)
+\weekfullmonday % Monday through Sunday (Monday first)
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Default: work week (Monday--Friday)
+
+\subsection{Minute Lines}
+
+\DescribeMacro{\minutelinesoff}
+\DescribeMacro{\minutelinesthirty}
+\DescribeMacro{\minutelinesfifteen}
+These commands control the display of dashed lines between hours.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\minutelinesoff % No minute lines (default)
+\minutelinesthirty % Half-hour lines (e.g., 9:30, 10:30)
+\minutelinesfifteen % Quarter-hour lines (e.g., 9:15, 9:30, 9:45)
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Default: no minute lines
+
+\subsection{Event Classes}
+
+\DescribeMacro{\eventclass}
+Defines an event class with a name and RGB color. Event classes are used to
+categorize events and appear in the legend.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\eventclass{ClassName}{R,G,B}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The color is specified as three comma-separated RGB values (0--255).
+Examples:
+\begin{verbatim}
+\eventclass{Courses}{173,216,230} % Light blue
+\eventclass{Meetings}{255,218,185} % Peach
+\eventclass{OfficeHours}{144,238,144} % Light green
+\eventclass{Personal}{221,160,221} % Light purple
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\subsection{Events}
+
+\DescribeMacro{\event}
+Adds an event to the schedule.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\event{ClassName}{Event Name}{Days}{Start}{End}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\begin{description}
+\item[\texttt{ClassName}] The name of the event class (must be defined with
+ \texttt{\textbackslash eventclass} first).
+\item[\texttt{Event Name}] The text to display in the event box.
+\item[\texttt{Days}] Comma-separated list of days: \texttt{Monday},
+ \texttt{Tuesday}, \texttt{Wednesday}, \texttt{Thursday}, \texttt{Friday},
+ \texttt{Saturday}, \texttt{Sunday}. Days must match the capitalization
+ exactly.
+\item[\texttt{Start}] Start time in \texttt{HH:MM} format (24-hour).
+\item[\texttt{End}] End time in \texttt{HH:MM} format (24-hour).
+\end{description}
+
+Examples:
+\begin{verbatim}
+\event{Courses}{MATH 220 01}{Tuesday,Thursday}{9:00}{10:30}
+\event{Meetings}{Faculty Meeting}{Monday}{10:00}{10:30}
+\event{OfficeHours}{Office Hours}{Tuesday,Thursday}{13:00}{14:30}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\subsection{Layout Customization}
+
+\DescribeMacro{\setpadding}
+This command allows fine-tuning of the padding around events in the schedule.
+It accepts a dimension in centimeters.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\setpadding{0.08} % Padding around events (default: 0.08cm)
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Note: The day column width and hour row height are automatically calculated
+based on the page width and number of days displayed, so they cannot be
+manually overridden.
+
+\subsection{Generating the Schedule}
+
+\DescribeMacro{\printschedule}
+This command must be called within the \texttt{document} environment to
+render the schedule. It draws the grid, places all events, and displays the
+legend.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\begin{document}
+\printschedule
+\end{document}
+\end{verbatim}
+

+
+\section{Notes and Tips}
+
+\subsection{Time Format}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Times are always specified in 24-hour format when using
+ \texttt{\textbackslash timefrom}, \texttt{\textbackslash timeto}, and
+ \texttt{\textbackslash event}, regardless of the display format setting.
+\item The display format (12-hour vs. 24-hour) only affects how times appear
+ in the schedule labels, not how you specify them.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsection{Day Names}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Day names are case-sensitive and must match exactly: \texttt{Monday},
+ \texttt{Tuesday}, \texttt{Wednesday}, \texttt{Thursday}, \texttt{Friday},
+ \texttt{Saturday}, \texttt{Sunday}.
+\item When using \texttt{\textbackslash weekfullsunday} or
+ \texttt{\textbackslash weekfullmonday}, you can include weekends in your
+ events.
+\item Days in the \texttt{\textbackslash event} command can be listed in any
+ order.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsection{Event Placement}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Events that extend beyond the time range specified by
+ \texttt{\textbackslash timefrom} and \texttt{\textbackslash timeto} are
+ automatically clipped to the visible range.
+\item Events are drawn with rounded corners and padding for a clean
+ appearance.
+\item Long event names will be automatically wrapped within the event box.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsection{Layout}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item The document is automatically set to landscape orientation.
+\item The schedule automatically adjusts column widths based on the number of
+ days displayed.
+\item The class uses a minimal page style (no page numbers or headers).
+\end{itemize}
+
+\section{Technical Details}
+
+\subsection{Class Options}
+The class is based on the \texttt{article} class with landscape orientation
+and 11pt font size. These are hardcoded and cannot be changed via class
+options.
+
+\subsection{Internal Commands}
+All internal commands use the \texttt{@} prefix and should not be called
+directly by users. The class uses TikZ for all drawing operations and PGF
+mathematics for layout calculations.
+
