\section{Basic Usage}

The \verb|\abacus| command takes the number of columns and a list of bead positions.

\subsection{Simple Abacus}

A 5-column abacus with beads at positions 0, 2, 4, 6, 8:

\begin{center}
\abacus{5}{0,2,4,6,8}
\end{center}

\subsection{Different Configurations}

3 columns, beads at positions 1, 3, 5:

\begin{center}
\abacus{3}{1,3,5}
\end{center}

\section{Using fabacus (Friendly Syntax)}

The \verb|\fabacus| command uses \texttt{b} to mark bead positions:

\begin{center}
\fabacus{bnn,nbn,nnb}
\end{center}

This creates a diagonal pattern (b = bead, n = no bead).

\section{Styling Options}

\subsection{Colored Beads}

\begin{center}
\abacus[bead_body_colour=blue]{4}{0,1,2,3}
\end{center}

\subsection{With Position Markers}

Show empty positions where beads could go:

\begin{center}
\abacus[positions=true, max_position=12]{4}{1,5,9}
\end{center}

\subsection{Scaled}

Larger scale:

\begin{center}
\abacus[scale=1.5]{3}{0,1,2}
\end{center}

\subsection{With Runner Labels}

\begin{center}
\abacus[runner_label_switch=true]{5}{0,6,12,18,24}
\end{center}

\subsection{Different Bead Colors}

Red beads with white labels:

\begin{center}
\abacus[bead_body_colour=red, bead_label_colour=white]{4}{0,5,10,15}
\end{center}

\subsection{No Shading (Flat Style)}

\begin{center}
\abacus[shade=false, bead_body_colour=orange]{3}{0,1,2}
\end{center}

\subsection{With Border}

\begin{center}
\abacus[bead_border_switch=true, bead_border_colour=darkgray]{4}{0,1,2,3}
\end{center}

\section{Inline Usage}

Abacuses can be used inline: \abacus[scale=0.5]{3}{0,1,2} like this.

\section{Combined Options}

\begin{center}
\abacus[
  scale=1.2,
  bead_body_colour=purple,
  bead_label_switch=true,
  bead_label_colour=white,
  runner_label_switch=true,
  positions=true,
  max_position=20
]{5}{0,6,7,13,19}
\end{center}
