Inside the psmatrix environment, we can't use a parameter for the first % column definition if it's not the first row. % Reported by in 1995. % % It's a parsing problem, as the parser wait something like [3mm] after the % \\ and not something like [name=B]. % % In fact, this is the "standard" way in which LaTeX work, and this is % the same for the "tabular" environment, for instance. % % Test file: % % \documentclass{article} % % \usepackage{pstricks} % % \begin{document} % \begin{psmatrix} % [name=A] A \\ % [name=B] B % \end{psmatrix} % \end{document} % % Workaround: add [0pt] after the \\ in these cases: % % [name=A] A \\[0pt] % [name=B] B % 2. With the `french' package, there is a problem with the special % < and > characters used for diagram and tree annotations (they are % not correctly typed nor positioned). % N.B. This problem doesn't occur with the frenchb sub-option of the % `babel' package. % Reported by Philippe Esperet in October 1996. % % Test file: % % \documentclass{article} % % \usepackage{pstricks} % \usepackage{pst-node} % \usepackage{french} % % \begin{document} % \begin{psmatrix} % E&F\\ % G&H % \ncline{1,1}{1,2}^w % \ncline{2,1}{2,2}_f % \ncline{1,1}{2,1}v % \end{psmatrix} % \end{document} % % Workaround: put the `psmatrix' environment inside an `english' one % 3. When arrows are required, this change the way the curves are drawn. % In fact, the modification is small, and we must be very careful % to see that, but this effect can be clearly demonstrated if we % surimpose a grid. And it can be specially ennoying for Bezier curves. % Reported by Thomas Siegel % in September 1997. % % When an arrow is defined, the point used to draw line or curve is % the entry of the arrow, and no more the defined point itself. % It is difficult to say if it is a "bug or a feature" (seems rather % a bug for me - D.G.) % % Test file: % % \documentclass{article} % % \usepackage{pstricks} % % \pagestyle{empty} % % \begin{document} % % \begin{pspicture}(4,2) % \psgrid % \psdot*(1,1) % \psdot*(3,1) % \psset{arrowinset=0} % \psbezier[showpoints=true]{->}(1,1)(0,2)(4,2)(3,1) % \psbezier[showpoints=true]{<-}(1,1)(0,0)(4,0)(3,1) % \end{pspicture} % % \vspace{1cm} % \begin{pspicture}(4,2) % \psgrid % \psdot*(1,1) % \psdot*(3,1) % \psbezier[showpoints=true](1,1)(0,2)(4,2)(3,1) % \psbezier[showpoints=true](1,1)(0,0)(4,0)(3,1) % \end{pspicture} % \vspace{2cm} % % \begin{pspicture}(0,-2)(4,3) % \psbezier[arrowsize=2]{->}(1,1)(0,2)(4,2)(3,1) % \psbezier[arrowsize=2]{<-}(1,1)(0,0)(4,0)(3,1) % \end{pspicture} % % \begin{pspicture}(0,-2)(4,3) % \pscurve[arrowsize=2]{->}(1,1)(0,2)(4,2)(3,1) % \pscurve[arrowsize=2]{<-}(1,1)(0,0)(4,0)(3,1) % \end{pspicture} % % \clearpage % % \makeatletter % % Version of the /Arrow macro which keep the coordinates of the point % % and doesn't used the entry of the arrow head for that % % (default was specially ennoying for \psbezier and when we use large % % value of arrowsize or arrowscale parameter) % % Work here on the current page % \pst@Verb{% % /Arrow { CLW mul add dup 2 div /w ED mul dup /h ED mul /a ED { 0 h T 1 -1 % scale } if w neg h moveto 0 0 L w h L w neg a neg rlineto % % DG modification begin - Sep. 25, 1997 % 0 0 moveto % % DG modification end % gsave fill grestore } def} % \makeatother % % \begin{pspicture}(4,2) % \psgrid % \psdot*(1,1) % \psdot*(3,1) % \psset{arrowinset=0} % \psbezier[showpoints=true]{->}(1,1)(0,2)(4,2)(3,1) % \psbezier[showpoints=true]{<-}(1,1)(0,0)(4,0)(3,1) % \end{pspicture} % % \begin{pspicture}(0,-2)(4,5) % \psbezier[arrowsize=2]{->}(1,1)(0,2)(4,2)(3,1) % \psbezier[arrowsize=2]{<-}(1,1)(0,0)(4,0)(3,1) % \end{pspicture} % % \end{document} % % Workaround: change the definition of the PostScript /Arrow macro, % as described above % 4. The \savedata macro must not be used inside another macro. % In such case, the drawing commands, like \dataplot, will show nothing. % The problem is related to some catcode changes that can't be made, % and in fact a delimiter is not introduced after each point defined, % so the curve will have at the end only one point, the last one. % It is the reason why nothing is shown later by a macro like \dataplot. % Reported by Ivan Maio in October 1997. % % Test file: % % \documentclass{article} % % \usepackage{pst-plot} % % \pagestyle{empty} % % \begin{document} % % \begin{pspicture}(-2,-2)(2,2) % \savedata{\test}[% % -1.09 -0.55 % -0.4 -0.1 % 0 1.02 % 1.28 0.06 % 1.51 1.21] % \dataplot{\test} % \psaxes{<->}(0,0)(-2,-2)(2,2) % \end{pspicture} % % \vspace{1cm} % \psframebox{% % \begin{pspicture}(-2,-2)(2,2) % \savedata{\test}[% % -1.09 -0.55 % -0.4 -0.1 % 0 1.02 % 1.28 0.06 % 1.51 1.21] % \dataplot{\test} % \psaxes{<->}(0,0)(-2,-2)(2,2) % \end{pspicture}} % % \savedata{\test}[% % -1.09 -0.55 % -0.4 -0.1 % 0 1.02 % 1.28 0.06 % 1.51 1.21] % % \vspace{1cm} % \psframebox{% % \begin{pspicture}(-2,-2)(2,2) % \dataplot{\test} % \psaxes{<->}(0,0)(-2,-2)(2,2) % \end{pspicture}} % % \end{document} % % Workaround: do not use \savedata inside another macro, as shown in the % previous example % 5.
