conditional statements in tikz

[Fabrizio Iozzi]

Hi all,
I'm using tikz and I'm typing a table with the results of two dice. I
would like to print the couple of numbers in one color if the sum if
greater than, say, 6, and in another color otherwise; I wonder it tikz
has a sort of mechanism to get that without typing it manually (or
have a script compose the LaTeX code).
Now I'm using the basic example in the tutorial:
\foreach \x in {1,...,6}
\foreach \y in {1,...,6}
{
\draw (\x,\y) +(-.5,-.5) rectangle ++(.5,.5);
\draw (\x,\y) node{\x,\y};
}
Thanks in advance

Fabrizio

There's probably a way to do this directly within tikz; and I'm sure
there's a more elegant way to do this, but the following does what you
want. -Alan

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz,ifthen,calc}
\newcounter{mysum}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}

\foreach \x in {1,...,6}
\foreach \y in {1,...,6}
{

\setcounter{mysum}{\x+\y};

\draw (\x,\y) +(-.5,-.5) rectangle ++(.5,.5);

\ifthenelse{\value{mysum}>6}{\def\mycol{red}}{\def\mycol{blue}}
\draw[color=\mycol](\x,\y) node{\x,\y};
}

\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}
