It is *not* +intended as a full new release of PSTricks, but as a consolidation and +cleaned distribution. Because Timothy van Zandt does not currently have +enough time to work on PSTricks, he gave permission for Denis Girou, +Sebastian Rahtz and Herbert Voss to produce this interim solution. + +Some new features have been added in the 2004 version, except the release +of the small pst-fill package for filling (tiling) arbitrary regions and the +various evolving contributions, but we have merged in all the bug fixes +and beta addons which Timothy produced. + +We have renamed some of the files that make up PSTricks, for consistency. +The multido package is now in /macros/generic/multido + +3 - Installation + ------------ + +3.1 - (La)TeX files + + a - You have to move all the files from the "generic" subdirectory +to a directory part of your TEXINPUTS environment variable, or to add it +in your TEXINPUTS list of paths. + + b - If you are a LaTeX user (and not only a plain TeX one), you have +to do the same thing for the "latex" subdirectory, which define LaTeX +wrappers for all the PSTricks files. + +3.2 - PostScript header files +The file pstricks.con is the current platform specific config file. +For other platforms read the README from the config directory + +3.3 - Known pitfalls + + a - To use the standard `color' or `xcolor' package with PSTricks, you +must load the `pstricks.sty' package, which interface the two packages, +loading them in the right order, and overriding some small parts of +PSTricks to allow it to use the `color' or `xcolor' package system for +specifying color. We STRONGLY recommend that you use this way today. +pstricks.sty loads by default the xcolor package, but there is an option +"noxcolor". If you are a LaTeX user then load _always_ first the +pstricks.sty package. + + b - LaTeX users must also take care that the `pstricks.sty' package is +required in place of the `pstricks.tex' one if the `graphics' or `graphicx' +package is also loaded. + + c - Don't try to load the `color' or `xcolor' package if you use +`pstricks.sty' or `pst-all' (it is already loaded in the correct order). + +4 - Contents + -------- + +4.1 - Subdirectories + +The distribution contain the following subdirectories: + +contrib : various contributions +base : main PSTricks files + doc : documentations (up to date ones - the obsolete/doc subdirectory + contain the reference documentation for the version 0.93a and + the additional old Beta material, which is still necessary to use...) + dvips : PostScript header files + generic : TeX generic sources + latex : LaTeX wrappers + + +5 - Documentation + ------------- +There is a mailing list devoted to discussions on PSTricks usage. +The informations to subscribe to this list and to consult the archives can +be found on the Web page. + +-- +Denis Girou, Sebastian Rahtz and Herbert Voss (updated Novermber 03, 2010) |
