2. Using \installframedcommandhandler can be useful because it allows changing the \framed width and height but it requires a few changes: a) Map style and style to foregroundstyle and foregroundcolor b) Change the depth key to another name, e.g. voffset.

makes sense, it probably makes less sense to also define a command (depends on usage i guess)

I agree with Wolfgang’s suggestions regarding the addition of framecommandhandler - I was going to suggest this thinking that the default line thickness might be too thin for printing. But there are also some other features that could be added: e.g. a style parameter for the labels text so the font can be changed; and a vertical alignment (location=top|center|bottom). And, although the StackExchange article originally linked used harpoons for the spin direction, other sources online use regular arrows so that might be an option to add? Another detail - probably needs input from Jorge - at the moment if there is a single electron, the arrow is centred in the box. Would it help to have an option that up arrows align left and down arrows align right so that there is a space where the missing arrow would go? (e.g. https://chem.libretexts.org/Courses/Valley_City_State_University/Chem_115/Ch...) So, all of that combined, suggests adding a defineelectrons and a setupelectrons as well? I’d like to give it a go as a learning exercise - following Wolfgang’s module tutorial - but don’t want to step on anyone’s toes by taking over. Regards, — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK
