-
-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
-and Sebastian Rahtz to produce this interim solution.
-
-No new features have been added in PST97, 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.
-
-
-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 or 1.8) 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
-
- d - 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 - Test of the installation
-
-The file doc/test-pst.tex allow you to test all your installation and the
-various components of PSTricks. It is the concatenation of most of the
-examples of the PSTricks chapter of "The LaTeX Graphics Companion".
-You must take care (mainly if you are "normally" a user of plain TeX only,
-that it require LaTeX and some packages of it distribution (namely `calc',
-`ifthen' and `graphicx'). It also require the `random' and `subfigure'
-packages, which can be found on CTAN or the TeXLive cdrom - see the README
-file of the doc subdirectory).
-
-3.4 - Known pitfalls
-
- a - To use the standard `color' package (which is available both
-for plain TeX and LaTeX) with PSTricks, you must load the `pstcol' extra
-package written by David Carlisle, 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' package system for specifying color.
-We strongly recommend that you use the `color' package today.
-
- b - Don't try to load the `color' package if you use `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).
-
- d - If you load `graphics' / `graphicx' before PSTricks, you must use
-the PSTricks syntax of \scalebox in all cases (not the one described
-in the `grfguide' document).
-
- e - We have rename some package files for consistency. But the reference
-documentation in obsolete/doc subdirectory still refer to the old names.
-So, take care that `pst2eps' is now `pst-eps', `charpath' is now `pst-char',
-`gradient' is now `pst-grad', `textpath' is now `pst-text' and `pstree' is
-now `pst-tree'.
-
-
-4 - Contents
- --------
-
-4.1 - Subdirectories
-
-The distribution contain the following subdirectories:
-
-contrib : various contributions
-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
-obsolete: documentation and sources for the version 0.93a and the
- additional old Beta material
-
-4.2 - PSTricks core files
-
-The generic subdirectory contain the core files of PSTricks (and the latex
-subdirectory contain the corresponding wrapper files). By alphabetic order:
-
-multido : loop facility for Generic TeX (in fact independant of PSTricks)
-pst-3d : 3d projections
-pst-char: stroking and filling character paths
-pst-coil: coils and zigzags
-pst-eps : conversion of PSTricks graphics to EPS files
-pst-fill: fillings and tilings
-pst-grad: gradients
-pst-node: nodes and node connections
-pst-plot: plots
-pst-text: texts along a path
-pst-tree: trees
-
-In addition, there is a LaTeX package `pst-all' in the latex subdirectory,
-which loads all of the PSTricks components, plus `pstcol', in one go
-(`pstcol' require also a color.cfg file defined; make sure you do _not_ load
-the `color' package by itself). The only reason for _not_ using this is that
-it uses extra memory for facilities you might not need.
-
-
-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", by Goossens, Rahtz and
-Mittelbach, Addison Wesley 1997, 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.
-
-There is also a supporting set of Web pages, actually maintained
-by Denis Girou, on http://www.tug.org/applications/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.
