\title{Frame corners in \texttt{tcolorbox}}

\begin{tcolorbox}[enhanced,frame hidden,
frame corners all={5mm}{2pt}{1pt}{black}{white}]
This template provides \texttt{tcolorbox} styles for ``frame corners'', i.e. corner pieces of a frame.\\
These are fully customizable and compatible with other \texttt{tcolorbox} options, \emph{except} that they cannot be rendered with the \texttt{standard} engine. As a result, any \texttt{tcolorbox} that uses any of these styles must also contain one of the following options:
\vspace{-10pt}
\begin{multicols}{4}\centering\ttfamily
enhanced
bicolor
enhanced jigsaw
bicolor jigsaw
\end{multicols}
\end{tcolorbox}
These styles are based on the \href{https://ctan.org/pkg/tcolorbox}{\texttt{tcolorbox}} package and the Ti\textit{k}Z/PGF drawing engines.\\
There are two classes of styles available in this template, the \texttt{frame corner} styles (which produce \textbf{sharp} corners) and the \texttt{frame rounded corner} styles (which produce \textbf{rounded} corners). They are to be called as follows:
\vspace{10pt}
\texttt{frame corner }\underline{type}\texttt{=\{}$\langle length\rangle$\texttt{\}\{}$\langle thickness\rangle$\texttt{\}\{}$\langle distance\rangle$\texttt{\}\{}$\langle corner\, color\rangle$\texttt{\}\{}$\langle edge\, color\rangle$\texttt{\}}
\vspace{10pt}
\texttt{frame rounded corner }\underline{type}\texttt{=\{}$\langle length\rangle$\texttt{\}\{}$\langle thickness\rangle$\texttt{\}\{}$\langle distance\rangle$\texttt{\}\{}$\langle radius\rangle$\texttt{\}\{}$\langle corner\, color\rangle$\texttt{\}\{}$\langle edge\, color\rangle$\texttt{\}}
\vspace{10pt}
The \underline{type} refers to the corner of the box, which may be any of the \textcolor{blue!80!black}{eight keys} outside the box below:
\begin{center}
\begin{tikzpicture}[every node/.style={font=\footnotesize\ttfamily}]

\end{tikzpicture}

\begin{itemize}

In both diagrams, the $\times$ marks the upper-left corner of the frame, i.e. the coordinate \texttt{(frame.north west)}.
\newpage
\section{Sharp corners}
The style \texttt{frame corners all} produces \emph{all} corner pieces. Below is a complete example:
\begin{verbbox}[righthand ratio=0.4]
\begin{tcolorbox}[enhanced,frame hidden,
frame corners all={5mm}{2pt}{1pt}{red}{white}]
This is a \texttt{tcolorbox}.\\
This is some additional text.
\end{tcolorbox}
\end{verbbox}
The following styles produce \emph{one half} of a corner piece. For example, \texttt{frame corner northwest left} produces the \emph{left} portion of the upper-left corner piece, while \texttt{frame corner northwest top} produces the \emph{top portion}.
\begin{multicols}{2}
\tcbset{enhanced,frame hidden,fontupper=\ttfamily}
\begin{tcolorbox}[frame corner northwest left={5mm}{2pt}{1pt}{red}{white}]
frame corner northwest left
\end{tcolorbox}
\begin{tcolorbox}[frame corner northeast right={5mm}{2pt}{1pt}{red}{white}]
frame corner northeast right
\end{tcolorbox}
\begin{tcolorbox}[frame corner southwest left={5mm}{2pt}{1pt}{red}{white}]
frame corner southwest left
\end{tcolorbox}
\begin{tcolorbox}[frame corner southeast right={5mm}{2pt}{1pt}{red}{white}]
frame corner southeast right
\end{tcolorbox}
%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%
\begin{tcolorbox}[frame corner northwest top={5mm}{2pt}{1pt}{red}{white}]
frame corner northwest top
\end{tcolorbox}
\begin{tcolorbox}[frame corner northeast top={5mm}{2pt}{1pt}{red}{white}]
frame corner northeast top
\end{tcolorbox}
\begin{tcolorbox}[frame corner southwest bottom={5mm}{2pt}{1pt}{red}{white}]
frame corner southwest bottom
\end{tcolorbox}
\begin{tcolorbox}[frame corner southeast bottom={5mm}{2pt}{1pt}{red}{white}]
frame corner southeast bottom
\end{tcolorbox}
\end{multicols}
The following styles produce \emph{one full} corner piece. For example, \texttt{frame corners northwest} produces the full upper-left corner piece (both the left and top portions).

\section{Rounded corners}
The style \texttt{frame rounded corners all} produces \emph{all} corner pieces. Below is a complete example:
\begin{verbbox}[righthand ratio=0.4]

The following styles produce \emph{one half} of a corner piece. For example, \texttt{frame rounded corner northwest left} produces the \emph{left} portion of the upper-left corner piece, while \texttt{frame rounded corner northwest top} produces the \emph{top portion}.
\begin{multicols}{2}
\tcbset{enhanced,frame hidden,fontupper=\ttfamily}
\begin{tcolorbox}[frame rounded corner northwest left={5mm}{2pt}{1pt}{5pt}{blue}{white}]

You can also combine options and add extra Ti\textit{k}Z/PGF options:
\begin{verbbox}[righthand ratio=0.25]
\begin{tcolorbox}[enhanced,frame hidden,
frame code={\draw (frame.south east) circle (1mm);}, % circle in the corner
frame rounded corner northwest top={7mm}{5pt}{3pt}{3pt}{green}{blue},
frame rounded corner northeast right={10mm}{1pt}{1pt}{12pt}{orange}{teal},
frame rounded corner southwest left={10mm}{3pt}{6pt}{9pt}{violet}{white}]
This is a \texttt{tcolorbox}.\\
This is some additional text.
\end{tcolorbox}
\end{verbbox}
Note that the upper-right corner piece is partially hidden as the interior of the box is drawn over it. Adding \texttt{interior hidden} to the \texttt{tcolorbox} options or specifying \texttt{interior code=\{...\}} will fix this.
