I have desperately tried to get in touch with tvz@Princeton.EDU
supposedly the e-mail address of the author of the pstricks TeX
package. So, with no alternatives, I turn to comp.text.tex.
I am calling to comment on the PSTRICKS package, v0.91.
The package is GREAT, and I'm gonna use it a lot --- no question about
that!
The installation of PSTRICKS went smoothly. I used
dvips, version 5.41 (C) 1986-90 Radical Eye Software
to convert the dvi/\special output into postscript. I have tried a few
things out and printed the manual. Everything seems to work right,
except...
I have some diagrams that vary in size, pretty much so, and I would
like to clip the \pspicture environment (I use LaTeX).
So, I replaced the \pspicture command used with \pspicture* and got
the following TeX error dump as a consequence:
--------------
! Undefined control sequence.
\@clipbox ...er \wd #1 \tx@ClipBox }\box \pst@box
}
\endpspicture ...boxa =\hbox {\@clipbox \pst@boxa
}\fi \ifx \pst@tempa \@emp...
l.23 \endpspicture
*
?
--------------
OK, something seems to go wrong and therefore I tried some other
clippings:
I could get your page 42 example up and running without any problems,
but when I tried another self-made example, I failed to get any
clipping done. In
---------------
\begin{center}
\psclip{\psframe(0,0)(2,2)}
\psline(0,0)(4,-4)
\endpsclip
\end{center}
---------------
I would have thought that the \psline was clipped to
the \psframe bounds, but that is not the case.
What have I missed ?
With thanks for a great TeX product and in the hope that you can help
me out,
