This is a LaTeX package for drawing Young diagrams and tableaux, inspired by the youngtab package by Volker Börchers and Stefan Gieseke. genyoungtabtikz uses the graphical power of PGF/Tikz, while retaining the economy of syntax which makes youngtab so useful; in fact, much of the syntax is the same as for youngtab, so users familiar with that package should be able to use genyoungtabtikz with no trouble at all. A variety of features are introduced in this package, such as Young tabloids, e-residue diagrams, diagrams with extra-wide or -high boxes, and colour.
The package is distributed under the LaTeX Project Public Licence.

Update 31st July 2014 I've updated to version 1.8, in which it's easier to put multi-character entries in boxes: you can just enclose the characters in <>, rather than defining a separate command.
Update 4th July 2014 I've just updated this to version 1.7, with two changes: the rows of a young tableau or tabloid no longer need to be non-empty, and it's now possible to issue commands (for example, to change colour) mid-argument for \young, \youngtabloid and \gyoung. See the documentation for more details.
