\maketitle

This style file option provides two new commands for use in the \env{picture}
environment:
%
\begin{itemize}
\item \cmd{\multimake}\pargs{x}{y}\pargs{dx}{dy}\narg{n}\pargs{w}{h}\oarg{pos}\marg{\txt{1}}\marg{\txt{2}}\ldots\marg{\txt{n}}
\item \cmd{\multiframe}\pargs{x}{y}\pargs{dx}{dy}\narg{n}\pargs{w}{h}\oarg{pos}\marg{\txt{1}}\marg{\txt{2}}\ldots\marg{\txt{n}}
\end{itemize}
%
These commands set the $n$ texts \meta{\txt{1}}\ldots\meta{\txt{n}} inside a \cmd{\makebox} or
\cmd{\framebox} respectively.  The first box has its lower-left corner at \coord{x}{y},
and successive boxes are located at \coord{x+dx}{y+dy}, \ldots, \coord{x+(n-1)\,dx}{y+(n-1)\,dy}.
Each box has width and height determined by \coord{w}{h}, and the optional
box placement parameter \meta{pos} is applied to all the generated texts.
