I have been trying to have a border for a whole page I am trying to write in LaTeX and I have used the following two lines:
\thisfancyput(3.25in,-4.5in){%
\setlength{\unitlength}{1in}\fancyoval(8.2,10.5)}
from the package fancybox
. It worked well, but I keep getting the warning:
myDocument.tex:70:\oval, \circle, or \line size unavailable on input line 118.
My questions now are:
- How may I get rid of this warning?
- How to thicken the border line?
- How to change its color?
Here is my Latex file

The
\fancyoval
macro offancybox
is responsible for the warning. Its origin is an attempt at overriding a limitation in the\oval
macro ofpicture
mode.However, quarter circles can have only a maximum radius, with the standard
picture
mode, and this usage of\fancyoval
computes a radius bigger than available. Nowadays,pict2e
makes\fancyoval
less good than\oval
that also has an extended syntax (check the documentation). So my advice is to forget about\fancyoval
and use\oval
directly.You can also change the color and the line thickness, for instance with
Change the thickess and color to suit.
