This is the README file for 'xwatermark' package, version 1.4. This package puts user-specified watermarks (graphics and arbitrary texts) on select pages of documents. It is more general than the packages 'draftwatermark' by Sergio Callegari (2006), 'watermark' by Alexander Rozhenko (2004), and 'draftmark' by Ahmed Musa (2009). The advantages of xwatermark over these packages include: the user can specify the watermark and color, the watermark position and orientation, the page(s) (all pages, odd pages, even pages, a particular page number, and a range of pages) on which the watermark should appear, and all the options are passed directly to package instead of being defined by macros. It extends the functionality of the 'draftmark' package to permit the direct use of graphic watermarks. There is also the macro \watermarksetup, which can be used to dynamically specify watermark properties for each page or range of pages. With the 'xcolor' package (loaded by this package), all colors and those defined within the user document can be passed to this package.
