\author{Herbert Voß}

\part{\texttt{pstricks} -- package}
This version of the News was run with \verb|lualatex| \emph{without} using Ghostscript.
The PDF file was created in a direkt way by Lua. If you want to try it, then look
at \url{https://github.com/zauguin/luapstricks}.
By default the dots are now taken from a Type1 version of the font file. For
lualatex it uses the OpenType version.
The dot part is now in an own file \texttt{pstricks-dots.tex}.
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{\texttt{pstricks.sty}}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The optional argument \texttt{gsfonts} can be used to load only the symbol font from GhostScript.
Otherwise the one from URW or the system is used, which is the default.
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{\texttt{pstricks.tex} (v. 3.08 -- 2021/09/10)}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Colors}
There are two new macros to get the color values:
\begin{verbatim}
\psgetRGBColorValues{<color macro>}
\psgetCMYKColorValues{<color macro>}
\end{verbatim}
An Example:
\begin{LTXexample}[width=5cm]
\psset{linecolor=red!40}
\psgetRGBColorValues{\pslinecolor}
\colorlet{Blue}[cmyk]{blue}
\psset{linecolor=Blue!40}
\psgetCMYKColorValues{\pslinecolor}
\end{LTXexample}
\subsection{Arrows}
There are new arrow types and a new optional argument \texttt{tipcolor}:
\begin{LTXexample}[width=5cm]
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid](4.2,3.25)
\psline{-T>}(0,1)(4,1)
\psline[arrowscale=2]{<T-T>}(0,2)(4,2)
\psline[tipcolor=red,arrowscale=2]{<T-}(0,3)(4,3)
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}
\LPack{pstricks} defines the following "`arrows"':
\def\myline#1{\psline[linecolor=red,linewidth=0.5pt,arrowscale=1.5]{#1}(0,1ex)(1.3,1ex)}%
\def\mylineA#1{\psline[linecolor=red,linewidth=0.5pt,arrowscale=4.5]{#1}(0,1ex)(2,1ex)}%
\psset{arrowscale=1.5}
\begin{longtable}{@{} c @{\qquad} p{3cm} l @{}}%
Value & Example & Name \\[2pt]\hline
\Lnotation{-} & \myline{-} & None\\
\Lnotation{<->} & \myline{<->} & Arrowheads.\\
\Lnotation{>-<} & \myline{>-<} & Reverse arrowheads.\\

\Lnotation{F-F} & \myline{F-F} & left/right outside filled arrows.\\

\Lnotation{<T-T>} & \myline{<T-T>} & curved lines.\\

\hline
\end{longtable}

%\@namedef{psas@<T}{ % hv 20071211
% true \psk@arrowinset \psk@arrowlength \psk@arrowsize \tx@ArrowT
%}
With version 3.04 all arrow specific base code is moved to the file \LPack{pstricks-arrows}, which
is not of interest for the default user..
\subsection{Symbolfont}
Use by default the URW or system symbol font for \Lcs{psdot}. This can be changes by using
the optional argument \texttt{gsfonts}:
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[gsfonts]{pstricks}
\end{verbatim}
\TeX-users have to define the switch and
\begin{verbatim}
\newif\ifpstGSfonts
\pstGSfontsfalse % or true for using GS font
\input pstricks
...
\end{verbatim}
\subsection{Fillstyle \texttt{penrose}}
There was a bug if this fillstyle was used together with a line sequence.
\psset{unit=1cm}
\centering\vspace{5cm}
\pspicture[showgrid=false](-0.5\linewidth,-4.5)(0.5\linewidth,5)

premiere of this extraordinary play about a Czech director and

\section{\LuaLaTeX}\label{lua}
Currently one has to use package \LPack{auto-pst-pdf-lua} if a document with
\PSTricks-code should be run \emph{directly} with \LuaLaTeX, without using
GhostScript. This version has experimental basic support for the lua package
\LPack{luapstricks.lua}, available from \url{https://github.com/zauguin/luapstricks}.
