-
-2 - Introduction
- ------------
-
-This package is a re-release of PSTricks, incorporating all of the
-beta releases and bug fixes made up to March 1997. 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 2007 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
-
- a - If you use the "dvips" DVI to PostScript converter, you have
-to move all the files from the "dvips" subdirectory to a directory part
-of your DVIPSHEADERS environment variable, or to add it in your DVIPSHEADERS
-list of paths.
-
- b - If you use the Y&Y's "dvipsone" DVI to PostScript converter,
-you have to rename generic/dvipsone.con to generic/pstricks.con and to move
-all the files of the "dvips" subdirectory to the TeX input folder.
-
- c - If you use the MicroPress "VTeX" DVI to PostScript converter,
-you have to rename generic/vtex.con to generic/pstricks.con and to move
-all the files of the "dvips" subdirectory to the TeX input folder.
-
- d - If you use the "textures" (version 1.7/1.8 or 2.0) DVI to PostScript
-converter (for Macintosh), you should proceed as follows:
- * create a new folder PSTricks97 (for instance) as a subfolder in
-Textures' TeX inputs folder,
- * copy the "generic", "dvips", "latex" and "contrib" subfolders
-from the "pst97" folder to the newly created "PSTricks97" folder,
- * open the "generic" folder and remove the file pstricks.con,
-then rename the file textures.con to pstricks.con,
- * open the "dvips" folder and change the following line in the file
-pstricks.pro (courtesy Michael J. Sharpe <msharpe@euclid.ucsd.edu>):
-/STV { SDict begin normalscale end STP } def
-by
-/STV { Mag 72.27 72 div mul dup neg scale STP } def
- It was also reported that the `pst-text' package (to put text
-along paths) doesn't work with the "textures" driver.
- Textures's users must also look at the page kindly maintained
-by Michael Sharpe: http://math.ucsd.edu/~msharpe/pst-textures.html
-
- e - If you use the "xdvipdfmx" DVI to PDF converter (for XeTeX),
-you have to rename generic/xdvipdfmx.con to generic/pstricks.con.
-
- f - If you use another driver than these four ones, you have to adapt
-a pstricks.con file for it, if the one for "dvips" doesn't work for it.
-You can also look at the instructions of the old obsolete/src/pstricks.con
-file. And if nothing work, ask for help on the PSTricks mailing list,
-hopping that somebody on the list has the same configuration than you...
-
-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 - 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).
-
- c - If needed, preferably load the `graphics' / `graphicx' package
-after PSTricks, and in this case use the `graphics' syntax of \scalebox
-(not the one described in the PSTricks documentation). pstricks.sty
-redefines this macro so that both can be used (see doc).

-
-4 - Contents
- --------
-
-4.1 - Subdirectories
-
-The distribution contain the following subdirectories:
-
-base : the core pstricks files
-contrib : various contributions
-
-4.2 - PSTricks core files
-
-The generic subdirectory contain the core files of PSTricks (and the latex
-subdirectory contain the corresponding wrapper files).
-
-pstricks.sty - The LaTeX file
-pstricks.tex - The TeX file
-pstricks.con - The configuration file
-pstricks.pro - The dvips header file
-
-5 - Documentation
- -------------
-
-There is NOT a complete up to date _reference_ documentation for PSTricks 97.
-You must still refer to the reference documentation of the version 0.93a and
-the additional old Beta material, available in the obsolete/doc subdirectory
-(it was put in the "obsolete" subdirectory to clearly show that it is not up
-to date nor supported by actual mainteners). Take care to notice what has
-changed in additional old Beta documents (betadoc?.ps files) comparing to the
-ones for 0.93a version (pst-usr?.ps files).
-
-Denis Girou maintain a list of known errors in both version 0.93a and
-additional old Beta documentations, in obsolete/doc/pst-doc.err
-
-A large chapter of "The LaTeX Graphics Companion, 2nd ed.", by Goossens, Mittelbach,
-Rahtz, Roegel and Voß, Addison Wesley 2007, is dedicated to PSTricks, and this
-currently forms the only systematic description of the integration of
-the basic PSTricks and the beta additions of 1993. The source of all examples
-from that book is also on CTAN/info/lgc and most of them in the doc/lgc
-subdirectory of the PST97 distribution. The second edition of this book
-has no more a chapter of PSTricks.
-
-There is also a supporting set of Web pages on
-http://www.tug.org/PSTricks with various
-pointers and examples classified by categories.
-
-And there is also 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.
