Basic Dice
\dice{0} \dice{1} \dice{2} \dice{3} \dice{4}
\dice{5} \dice{6} \dice{7} \dice{8} \dice{9}
Characters
You can place both text and math equations on the faces of the dice.
\textdice{7}
\textdice{P}
\textdice{$\aleph$}
\textdicebot{$\cup$}
\textdicebot{$\cap$}
\textdicebot{\sffamily W}
Net Layout
By inputting \layoutdice{face1}{face2}{face3}{face4}{face5}{face6}
, you can draw the net layout of the dice.
\layoutdice{\dice{1}}{\dice{2}}{\dice{3}}{\dice{4}}{\dice{5}}{\dice{6}}
\layoutdice{\dice{6}}{\dice{5}}{\dice{3}}{\dice{4}}{\dice{2}}{\dice{1}}
\layoutdice{\textdice{A}}{\textdice{B}}{\textdice{C}}{\textdice{D}}{\textdice{E}}{\textdice
Colors
By entering options as \dice[color1, color2]{3}
, color1
becomes the background color, and color2
is the color of the pips. Colors defined by the xcolor
package can also be used.

\dice[violet,white]{5}
\dice[yellow,black]{6}
\bigdotdice[white,blue]
\textdice[gray,green]{$\aleph$}
\textdicebot[magenta,blue]{\sffamily W}
