\section{The package pictochrono}
\subsection{Ideas}
The idea is to display a pictogram like "chronometer" to present times for exercises, for example.
The pictogram can be inserted inline with automatic height and vertical offset, or with a manual height and offset.
\subsection{Loading}
The package loads within the preamble, with \MontreCode{\textbackslash usepackage\{pictochrono\}}.
The only loaded packages are \MontreCode{simplekv}, \MontreCode{calc}, \MontreCode{simplekv}, \MontreCode{xstring}, \MontreCode{etoolbox} and \MontreCode{tikz} (with \MontreCode{calc} library).
\begin{codehigh}[language=latex/latex2,style/main=cyan!10,style/code=cyan!10]
\usepackage{pictochrono}
\end{codehigh}
\section{The command}
\subsection{Usage}
The command is \MontreCode{\textbackslash pictochrono}.
\begin{codehigh}[language=latex/latex2,style/main=cyan!10,style/code=cyan!10]
\pictochrono[keys]{duration}<v.align>
\end{codehigh}
\medskip
The optional keys are :
\begin{itemize}
\item the key \MontreCode{Height}:
\begin{itemize}
\item can use an automatic height, with \MontreCode{auto} (by default, global height of current font {\setlength\fboxsep{0.25pt}\fbox{\texttt{qB}}} + small vertical offset);
\item can specify a global height;
\item the \MontreCode{Strut} key can adjust characters box automatic height;
\end{itemize}
\item the key \MontreCode{Color} for the main color (\MontreCode{black} by default);
\item the key \MontreCode{ColTime} for the color of duration, if specified (\MontreCode{lightgray} by default);
\item the key \MontreCode{Delta} for the graduations of minutes (within \texttt{0/5/10/15/20/30}) (\MontreCode{5} by default);
\item the key \MontreCode{Offset} for manual vertical offset (\MontreCode{auto} by default);
\end{itemize}
\medskip
The mandatory argument, between \MontreCode{\{...\}}, is the duration to be displayed.
\medskip
The optional argument, between \MontreCode{<...>}, can specify a vertical alignment of the pictogram (within \texttt{vcenter/vbottom/vtop}, or empty for default positioning).
\subsection{Examples}
\begin{demohigh}[language=latex/latex2,style/main=cyan!10,style/code=cyan!10]
%automatic inline insertion (with an without 'Strut' key)
This is a test, with a \pictochrono{25} minutes chronometer, or (\pictochrono[Strut=()]{25}).
\end{demohigh}
\begin{demohigh}[language=latex/latex2,style/main=cyan!10,style/code=cyan!10]
%automatic inline insertion, with user colors.
{\Huge This is an other test, with a
\pictochrono[Delta=15,Color=blue,ColTime=red]{20} minutes chronometer.}
\end{demohigh}
\begin{demohigh}[language=latex/latex2,style/main=cyan!10,style/code=cyan!10]
%manual inline insertion, with manual offset.
This a \pictochrono[Height=3em,Offset=-0.75em]{45} minutes chronometer.
\end{demohigh}
\begin{demohigh}[language=latex/latex2,style/main=cyan!10,style/code=cyan!10]
%manual insertion
\pictochrono[Height=5cm,ColTime=teal]{33}
\end{demohigh}
\begin{demohigh}[language=latex/latex2,style/main=cyan!10,style/code=cyan!10]
%wihtin a tblr
\begin{tblr}{hlines,vlines,colspec={Q[m,c]Q[8cm,m,j]}}
