# pst-vehicle: creating vehicles for physical animations
This package was created to illustrate the notion of slope, the coefficient
of the tangent line at a point of a curve. On the road, a rampant way or a
dangerous descent due to their slope is indicated by a sign showing the
percentage of the slope of this section of road, for example 10%.
It was therefore quite obvious that the idea of representing a vehicle rolling
without slipping on a curve came into our minds. Different types of vehicles
are proposed, the shape of the curve is to be defined by its equation: $y=f(x)$
in algebraic notation.
Save the files pst-vehicle.sty|data|tex in a directory, which is part of your
local TeX tree. The pro file should go into $TEXMF/dvips/pstricks/
Then do not forget to run texhash to update this tree.
pst-vehicle needs pstricks, which should be part of your local TeX installation,
otherwise get it from a CTAN server, https://mirror.ctan.org
PSTricks is PostScript Tricks, the documentation cannot be run
with pdftex, use the sequence latex->dvips->ps2pdf or
pdflatex with package auto-pst-pdf or xelatex or (best) lualatex
