    Introduction

\begin{quote}\parskip6pt
This is the original application that I had envisioned for the
\textsf{GraphicxBox} package; using a graphical background behind a
\cs{parbox} with an interesting dark (and tiled) background for the
page. I wished to write on top of the graphical background, yet
have a degree of transparency for seeing through to the background.

We'll begin the tiling on the next page so you can see what I mean,
shall we.

        This document introduces a new command, \cs{graphicxbox}. This
        command is quite similar to \cs{colorbox}, except
        \cs{graphicxbox} places a graphic in the background instead
        of a color. The graphic, in this case, is a simple white rectangle
        that has been given a an opacity of 0.7.

        As with \cs{colorbox}, the box is increased by \cs{fboxsep} on all sides.

        We use the \textsf{graphicxsp} package to get the transparency, and the
        \textsf{aeb\_tilebg} package to tile the background.

        This display panel demos \cs{fgraphicxbox}. This command
        is similar to \cs{fcolorbox}, it does draw a boundary rule, but
        inserts a graphic image instead of a flat background. The
        graphic, in this case, is a simple white rectangle that has been
        given a an opacity of 0.7.

        As with \cs{fcolorbox}, the box is increased by \cs{fboxsep}
        on all sides, and the rule width is set by \cs{fboxrule}.
