Calendar with tikz

Question

I borrowed the following code from here and made changes according to my requirements. I want to show year at each corner of the border and would like to know how to change the year to custom year. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

To get a different year, one could simply use \year=2017. But if this was undesirable then a \currentyear macro could be used (optionally as a default argument to the \calperiod macro).

To get the year typeset at the corners of the matrix, I have used append after command. This requires that \currentyear be set outside the scope of the matrix. Also a bit of extra space is required at the bottom of the matrix to avoid some overlapping with the year labels.

Answer 2

The border starts from north east corner in the anti clock wise direction. The horizontal distance is 2 parts and the vertical 3 parts. So the 2 comes at north west, 5 comes at south west, 7 comes at south east. Now you can add more decorations at each corners.
