\begin{abstract}
This version of \verb+pstricks-add+ needs \verb+pstricks.tex+
version >1.04 from June 2004, otherwise the additional macros may
not work as expected. The ellipsis material and the option
\verb+asolid+ (renamed to \verb+eofill+) are
\index{fillstyle!eofill@\texttt{eofill}} now part of the new
\verb+pstricks.tex+ package, available on CTAN. \LPack{pstricks-add} will for ever be
an experimental and dynamical package, try it at your own risk.

\begin{itemize}
\item It is important to load \LPack{pstricks-add} as the \textbf{last} PSTricks related package, otherwise
a lot of the macros won't work in the expected way.
\item \LPack{pstricks-add} uses the extended version of the keyval package. So be sure that
you have installed \LPack{pst-xkey} which is part of the
\LPack{xkeyval}-package, and that all packages that use the old
keyval interface are loaded \textbf{before} the
\LPack{xkeyval}.\cite{xkeyval}
\item the option \Lkeyword{tickstyle} from \LPack{pst-plot} is no longer supported; use \Lkeyword{ticksize} instead.
\item the option \Lkeyword{xyLabel} is no longer supported; use the option \Lkeyword{labelFontSize} instead.
\item if \LPack{pstricks-add} is loaded together with the package  \LPack{pst-func} then  \Lkeyword{InsideArrow}
    of the \Lcs{psbezier} macro doesn't work!
\end{itemize}

\section{\nxLcs{rmultiput}: a multiple \nxLcs{rput}}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\verb+PSTricks+ already has a \Lcs{multirput}, which puts a box n
times with a difference of $dx$ and $dy$ relative to each other.
It is not possible to put it with a different distance from one
point to the next. This is possible with \Lcs{rmultiput}:

\section{\nxLcs{psVector}: Drawing relative vector lines}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The new macros \Lcs{psStartPoint} and \Lcs{psVector} allow to draw a series of
vectors which start point refers to the endpoint of the last drawn vector. The 
coordinates of the endpoint are \emph{always} interpreted relative to the last
the vector. The first vector refers to the coordinates set by \Lcs{psStartPoint}.
With the boolean argument one can draw the horizontal angle of the vector.

The style of the angle arc is saved in \Lkeyval{psMarkAngleStyle} and the style
for the horizontal line in \Lkeyval{psMarkAngleLineStyle} and preset to

\begin{lstlisting}
\newpsstyle{psMarkAngleStyle}{arrows=->,arrowsize=4pt}
\newpsstyle{psMarkAngleLineStyle}{linestyle=dotted}
\end{lstlisting}


\begin{pspicture}[showgrid](10,10)

\end{pspicture}
\end{lstlisting}

All end points of the vectors are saved in node names with the preset name \verb=Vector#=,
where \# is the consecutive  number of the nodes. \verb=Vector0= ist the starting point of
the first \Lcs{psVector}. With the macro \Lcs{psStartPoint} one can set the starting point and
with optional argument the name of the nodes. \verb=Vector3= is the default node name of
the endpoint of the third vector or the name of the starting point of the forth vector.

\section{\nxLcs{psCircleTangents}: Calculating tangent lines of circles}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The macro calculates the points on a circle where tangent lines from another
point or another circle are drawn.

\begin{BDef}
\Lcs{psCircleTangents}\Largr{$x1,y1$}\Largr{$x2,y2$}\Largb{Radius}\\
\Lcs{psCircleTangents}\Largr{$x1,y1$}\Largb{Radius}\Largr{$x2,y2$}\Largb{Radius}
\end{BDef}

In the first case the coordinates of a point and the center and the radius
of a circle must be given. The names of the calculates node names are \verb=CircleT1=
and \verb=CircleT2=.

\bigskip
When using the other variant of the macro two circles must be given. The macro then defines
ten nodes, named \verb=CircleTC1= and \verb=CircleTC2= for the two intersection points,
 \verb=CircleTO1=, \verb=CircleTO2=, \verb=CircleTO3=, and \verb=CircleTO4= for the four
 nodes of the outer tangent lines and 
  \verb=CircleTI1=, \verb=CircleTI2=, \verb=CircleTI3=, and \verb=CircleTI4= for the
  four nodes of the inner tangent lines.

\begin{BDef}
\LcsStar{psComment}\OptArgs\OptArg*{\Largb{arrows}}\coord0\coord1\Largb{Text}\OptArg{line macro}\OptArg{put macro}
\end{BDef}

By default the macro uses the \Lcs{ncline} macro to draw a line from the first to the
second point, it can be changed with the first additional optional argument. The label is
put by default with \Lcs{rput}, which can be changed with the last optional argument.
If this is used, then the line macro has also be defined, eg \verb+\psComment(A)(B){text}[\ncarc][\ncput}+
At least, leave the argument empty.

\section{\nxLcs{psChart}: a pie chart}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

\begin{BDef}
\Lcs{psChart}\OptArgs\Largb{comma separated value list}\Largb{comma separated value list}\Largb{radius}
\end{BDef}

The special optional arguments for the \Lcs{psChart} macro are as follows:

\noindent
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{@{}>{\ttfamily}lX>{\ttfamily}l@{}}
\textrm{\emph{name}} & \textrm{\emph{description}} & \textrm{\emph{default}}\\\hline
\Lkeyword{chartSep}  & distance from the pie chart center to an outraged pie piece & 10pt\\
\Lkeyword{chartColor} & gray or colored pie (values are: \texttt{gray} or \texttt{color})& gray\\
\Lkeyword{userColor} & a comma separated list of user defined colors for the pie & \{\}\\
\Lkeyword{chartNodeI}& the position of the inner node, relative to the radius & 0.75\\
\Lkeyword{chartNodeO}& the position of the outer node, relative to the radius & 1.5
\end{tabularx}

\bigskip
The first mandatory argument is the list of the values and may not be empty. The second
one is a list of outraged pieces, numbered consecutively from 1 to up the total number
of values. The list of user defined colors must be enclosed in braces!

The macro \Lcs{psChart} defines for every value three nodes at the half angle and
in distances from 0.75, 1, and 1.25 times of the radius from the origin. The nodes
are named as \verb+psChartI?+, \verb+psChart?+, and \verb+psChartO?+, where ? is the number of
the pie. The letter I leads to the inner node and the letter O to the outer node.
The distance can be changed with the optional arguments \Lkeyword{chartNodeI} and
\Lkeyword{chartNodeO} in the usual way with \verb+\psset{chartNodeI=...,chartNodeO=...}+.

The other one is the node on the circle line.
The origin is by default \texttt{(0,0)}. Moving the pie to another position can be done as
usual with the \Lcs{rput}-macro. The used colors are named internally as \Lkeyword{chartFillColor?}
and can be used by the user for coloring lines or text.

The linecolor of the pies is by default identical to the fillcolor. If you want another line color
for all pies then use the optional argument \Lkeyword{uselinecolor}. In this case the current

Additional to all other available options from \LPack{pstricks} or the other
related packages,  there are two new option, named  \Lkeyword{braceWidth} and
\Lkeyword{bracePos}. All important ones are shown in the following graphics
and table.

\begin{center}
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](10,5)
  \psbrace[braceWidth=1cm,braceWidthInner=1cm,
    braceWidthOuter=1cm,bracePos=0.6,fillcolor=white,

\psdot[dotscale=2](10,5)\uput[180](10,5){\textbf{B}}
\end{pspicture}
\end{center}

A positive value for \Lkeyword{nodesepA} and \Lkeyword{nodesepB} shifts the label to the upper right
and a negative value to the lower left. This does not depends on
the value for the rotating of the label!

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{@{}l|l@{}}
name & meaning\\\hline
\Lkeyword{braceWidth} & default is \Lcs{pslinewidth}\\
\Lkeyword{braceWidthInner} & default is \verb+10\pslinewidth+\\
\Lkeyword{braceWidthOuter} & default is \verb+10\pslinewidth+\\
\Lkeyword{bracePos} & relative position (default is $0.5$)\\
\Lkeyword{nodesepA} & x-separation (default is $0pt$)\\
\Lkeyword{nodesepB} & y-separation (default is $0pt$)\\
\Lkeyword{rot} & additional rotating for the text (default is $0$)\\
\Lkeyword{ref} & reference point for the text (default is c)\\
\Lkeyword{fillcolor} & default is black
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

By default the text is written perpendicular to the brace line and
can be changed with the \LPack{pstricks} option \Lkeyword{rot}=\ldots\ The
text parameter can take any object and may also be empty. The
reference point can be any value of the combination of \Lkeyval{l}
(left) or \Lkeyval{r} (right) and \Lkeyval{b} (bottom) or \Lkeyval{B}
(Baseline) or \Lkeyval{C} (center) or \Lkeyval{t} (top), where the
default is \Lkeyval{c}, the center of the object.

\end{LTXexample}

\bigskip
The option \Lcs{specialCoor} is enabled, so that all types of coordinates
are possible, (nodename), ($x,y$), ($nodeA|nodeB$), \ldots
The star version fills the inner of the \Index{brace} with the current linecolor.
With the fillcolor \verb+white+ or any other background color the brace can
be "`unfilled"'.

It is also possible to put a vertical brace around a
default paragraph. This works by setting two invisible nodes at
the beginning and the end of the paragraph. Indentation is
possible with a minipage.

\section{Contour plots}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contour plots are 2D-images but representing 3D data. The color is the representation of
the z coordinate.
It is only possible to plot data files which must have the following
structure:
\begin{verbatim}
/contourdata [[
x y z
x y z
][
x y z
...
][
... 
] def
\end{verbatim} 
it is an PostScript array of array. The Perl script \url{http://tug.org/pstricks/pst-plot/3D/MakeData.pl} 
allows to plot a file of the 3D-data of a mathematical function $z=f(x,y)$ and the Perl script
\url{http://tug.org/pstricks/pst-plot/3D/PrepareData.pl} prepares the data file
into the above structure for using it with the example file. 

\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t]
\psset{unit=1.75cm}
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid](-3,-3)(3,3)
\pstContour[colored]{contourN.data}
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}

\emph{Important} is the option \verb|-dNOSAFER| for the \texttt{ps2pdf} run, otherwise Ghostscript
didn't allow the run of external data files.

%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Random dots}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The syntax of the new macro \Lcs{psRandom} is:

\begin{BDef}
\Lcs{psRandom}\OptArgs\Largb{}\\
\Lcs{psRandom}\OptArgs\OptArg*{\Largr{$x_{Min},y_{Min}$}}\OptArg*{\Largr{$x_{Max},y_{Max}$}}\Largb{clip path} %$
%\psRandom[<option>](<xMax,yMax>){<clip path>}
%\psRandom[<option>](<xMin,yMin>)(<xMax,yMax>){<clip path>}
\end{BDef}

If there is no area for the dots defined, then \verb+(0,0)(1,1)+ in the current
scale setting is used for placing the dots. If there is only one \Largr{$x_{Max},y_{Max}$} %$
defined, then \verb+(0,0)+ is used for the other point.
This area should be greater than the clipping
path to be sure that the dots are placed over the full area. The clipping path can
be everything. If no clipping path is given, then the frame \verb+(0,0)(1,1)+
in user coordinates is used.  The new options are:

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{@{}l|l|l@{}}
name & default\\\hline
\Lkeyword{randomPoints} &   \verb|1000| & number of random dots\tabularnewline
\Lkeyword{color} & \false & random color\tabularnewline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

\section{\nxLcs{psDice}}
 %--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\Lcs{psdice} creates the view of a dice. The number on the dice is the only parameter.
The optional parameters, like the color can be used as usual. The macro is a box of
dimension zero and is placed
at the current point. Use  the \Lcs{rput} macro to place it anywhere. The optional
argument \Lkeyword{unit} can be used to scale the dice. the default size of
the dice $1\mathrm{cm}\times1\mathrm{cm}$.

\begin{center}

\section{\nxLcs{psFormatInt}}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There exist some packages and a lot of code to format an integer like $1\,000\,000$
or $1,234,567$ (in Europe $1.234.567$). But all packages expect a real number as
argument and cannot handle macros as an argument. For this case \LPack{pstricks-add}
has a macro \Lcs{psFormatInt} which can handle both:

\begin{LTXexample}[width=3cm]
\psFormatInt{1234567}\\
\psFormatInt[intSeparator={,}]{1234567}\\
\psFormatInt[intSeparator=.]{1234567}\\
\psFormatInt[intSeparator=$\cdot$]{1234567}\\
\def\temp{965432}
\psFormatInt{\temp}
\end{LTXexample}

With the option \Lkeyword{intSeparator} the symbol can be changed to any any non-number character.


\clearpage

%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{\nxLcs{psRelNode} and \nxLcs{psDefPSPNodes}}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With these macros it is possible to put a node relative to a given line or given
\Lenv{pspicture}-environment. In the frist case the parameters are
the angle and the length factor:

\begin{BDef}
\Lcs{psRelNode}\Largs{P0}\Largs{P1}\Largb{length factor}\Largb{end node name}\\
\Lcs{psDefPSPNodes}
\end{BDef}

The length factor relates to the distance $\overline{P_0P_1}$ and
the end node name must be a valid nodename and shouldn't contain
any of the special PostScript characters. There are two valid
options:

\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{@{} l|l| X @{} }
name & default & meaning\\\hline 
\Lkeyword{angle} & $0$ & angle between the given line $\overline{P_0P_1}$ and the new one
	$\overline{P_0P_{endNode}}$\tabularnewline 
\Lkeyword{trueAngle} & \false & defines whether the angle refers to the seen line or to
the mathematical one, which respect the scaling factors
\Lkeyword{xunit} and \Lkeyword{yunit}.
\end{tabularx}

\begin{LTXexample}[width=7cm]
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid](7,6)
  \pnode(3,3){A}\pnode(4,2){B}
  \psline[nodesep=-3,linewidth=0.5pt](A)(B)
  \multido{\iA=0+30}{12}{%
    \psRelNode[angle=\iA](A)(B){2}{C}%
    \qdisk(C){2pt}
    \uput[0](C){\iA}}
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}

In the second case the new macro \Lcs{psDefPSPNodes} defines nine nodes that corresponds to
nine particular points (namely bottom left, bottom center,
bottom right, center left, center center, center right, top left,
top center, top right) of the \Lenv{pspicture} box.

\begin{LTXexample}[width=6cm,wide=false]
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](-1,-1)(4,4)
  \psDefPSPNodes
  \psdots(PSPbl)(PSPbc)(PSPbr)
      (PSPcl)(PSPcc)(PSPcr)(PSPtl)(PSPtc)(PSPtr)
  \uput[90](PSPbl){PSPbl} \uput[90](PSPbc){PSPbc}
  \uput[90](PSPbr){PSPbr} \uput[90](PSPcl){PSPcl}
  \uput[90](PSPcc){PSPcc} \uput[90](PSPcr){PSPcr}
  \uput[90](PSPtl){PSPtl} \uput[90](PSPtc){PSPtc}
  \uput[90](PSPtr){PSPtr}
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}

The name of the nodes are predefined as:

\begin{lstlisting}[style=syntax]
\psset[pst-PSPNodes]{blName=PSPbl,bcName=PSPbc,brName=PSPbr,
  clName=PSPcl,ccName=PSPcc,crName=PSPcr,tlName=PSPtl,tcName=PSPtc,trName=PSPtr}
\end{lstlisting}

and can be modified in the same way.
%I guess you modified the family to have the pstricks-add one so the
%\xkvview would have to be adapted.

%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{\nxLcs{psRelLine}}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With this macro it is possible to plot lines relative to a given one. Parameter are
the angle and the length factor:

\begin{BDef}
\Lcs{psRelLine}\Largr{P0}\Largr{P1}\Largb{length factor}\Largb{<end node name>}\\
\Lcs{psRelLine}\OptArg{\Largb{arrows}}\Largr{P0}\Largr{P1}\Largb{length factor}\Largb{end node name}\\
\Lcs{psRelLine}\OptArgs\Largr{P0}\Largr{P1}\Largb{length factor}\Largb{end node name}\\
\Lcs{psRelLine}\OptArgs\OptArg{\Largb{arrows}}\Largr{P0}\Largr{P1}\Largb{length factor}\Largb{end node name}
\end{BDef}

The length factor relates to the distance $\overline{P_0P_1}$ and
the end node name must be a valid nodename and shouldn't contain
any of the special PostScript characters. There are two valid
options which are described in the foregoing section for
\Lcs{psRelNode}.

The following two figures show the same, the first one with a scaling different to $1:1$,
this is the reason why the end points are on an ellipse and not on a circle like in the
second figure.

\begin{LTXexample}[width=5cm]
\psset{yunit=2,xunit=1}
\begin{pspicture}(-2,-2)(3,2)

\qdisk(EndNode){2pt}
\psRelLine[linecolor=magenta,angle=-90](A)(B){0.5}{EndNode}
\qdisk(EndNode){2pt}
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}

\begin{LTXexample}[width=5cm]
\begin{pspicture}(-2,-2)(3,2)

\psline[linecolor=red](A)(B)
\psarc[linestyle=dashed](A){2.23}{-90}{135}
\psRelLine[linecolor=blue,angle=30](-1,0)(B){0.5}{EndNode}
\qdisk(EndNode){2pt}
\psRelLine[linecolor=blue,angle=-30](A)(B){0.5}{EndNode}
\qdisk(EndNode){2pt}
\psRelLine[linecolor=magenta,angle=90](-1,0)(3,2){0.5}{EndNode}
\qdisk(EndNode){2pt}
\psRelLine[linecolor=magenta,angle=-90](A)(B){0.5}{EndNode}
\qdisk(EndNode){2pt}
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}

\medskip
The following figure has also a different scaling, but has set the
option \Lkeyword{trueAngle}, all angles refer to "what you see".

\begin{LTXexample}[width=6.5cm]
\psset{yunit=2,xunit=1}
\begin{pspicture}(-3,-1)(3,2)\psgrid[subgridcolor=lightgray]
\pnode(-1,0){A}\pnode(3,2){B}
\psline[linecolor=red](A)(B)
\psarc(A){2.83}{-45}{135}
\psRelLine[linecolor=blue,angle=30,trueAngle](A)(B){0.5}{EndNode}
\qdisk(EndNode){2pt}
\psRelLine[linecolor=blue,angle=-30,trueAngle](A)(B){0.5}{EndNode}
\qdisk(EndNode){2pt}
\psRelLine[linecolor=magenta,angle=90,trueAngle](A)(B){0.5}{EndNode}
\qdisk(EndNode){2pt}
\psRelLine[linecolor=magenta,angle=-90,trueAngle](A)(B){0.5}{EndNode}
\qdisk(EndNode){2pt}
\end{pspicture}

\section{\nxLcs{psParallelLine}}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With this macro it is possible to plot lines relative to a given one, which is parallel.
There is no special parameter here.

\begin{lstlisting}[style=syntax]
\psParallelLine(<P0>)(<P1>)(<P2>){<length>}{<end node name>}
\psParallelLine{<arrows>}(<P0>)(<P1>)(<P2>){<length>}{<end node name>}
\psParallelLine[<options>](<P0>)(<P1>)(<P2>){<length>}{<end node name>}
\psParallelLine[<options>]{<arrows>}(<P0>)(<P1>)(<P2>){<length>}{<end node name>}
\end{lstlisting}

The line starts at $P_2$, is parallel to $\overline{P_0P_1}$ and
the length of this parallel line depends on the length factor. The
end node name must be a valid nodename and shouldn't contain any
of the special PostScript characters.

\begin{LTXexample}
\begin{pspicture*}(-5,-4)(5,3.5)
  \psgrid[subgriddiv=0,griddots=5]
  \pnode(2,-2){FF}\qdisk(FF){1.5pt}
  \pnode(-5,5){A}\pnode(0,0){O}
  \multido{\nCountA=-2.4+0.4}{9}{%

    \psRelLine[linecolor=red](0,\nCountA)(FF){9}{P2}
  }
  \psline[linecolor=blue](A)(FF)
  \psRelLine[linecolor=blue](A)(FF){5}{END1}

\section{\nxLcs{psIntersectionPoint}}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no special parameter here.
\begin{lstlisting}[style=syntax]
\psIntersectionPoint(<P0>)(<P1>)(<P2>)(<P3>){<node name>}
\end{lstlisting}

\begin{LTXexample}[width=5.5cm]

\section[\nxLcs{psCancel}]{\nxLcs{psCancel}\footnotemark}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\footnotetext{Thanks to by Stefano Baroni} This macro works like
the \Lcs{cancel} macro from the package of the same name but it
allows as argument any contents, not only letters but also a
complex graphic.

\begin{BDef}
\LcsStar{psCancel}\OptArgs\Largb{contents}%
\end{BDef}

All optional arguments for lines and boxes are valid and can be
used in the usual way. The star option fills the underlying box
rectangle with the linecolor. This can be transparent if
\Lkeyword{opacity} is set to a value less than 1. This can be used
in presentation to strike out words, equations, and graphic
objects. Lines can also be transparent when the option
\Lkeyword{strokeopacity} is used.

The optional argument \Lkeyword{cancelType} allows to define the lines for the non star version.
Possible values are \Lkeyval{x} for a cross, \Lkeyval{s} for a slash, and \Lkeyval{b}
for a backslash. It is also possible to use the long words for the \Lkeyval{slash} and the \Lkeyval{backslash}.
An empty value is always assumed as a \Lkeyval{x}.

\Lcs{psStep} calculates a step function for the upper or lower
sum or the max/min of the \Index{Riemann} integral definition of a given
function. The available option is

\Lkeyset{StepType=lower}|\Lkeyval{upper}|\Lkeyval{Riemann}|\Lkeyval{infimum}|\Lkeyval{supremum} or alternative
\Lkeyset{StepType=l}|\Lkeyval{u}|\Lkeyval{R}|\Lkeyval{i}|\Lkeyval{s}

with \Lkeyword{lower} as the default setting. The syntax of the function is

\begin{BDef}

\end{BDef}


(x1,x2) is the given interval for the step wise calculated

\section{Tangent lines}
There are two macros for plotting a tangent line or the tangent normal line.
The first one is \Lcs{psTangentLine} which expects three pairs of coordinates,
a $x$ and a $dx$ value. The second one is \Lcs{psplotTangent} which expects 
a function for the curve. \xLkeyword{Tnormal}

\subsection{\nxLcs{psTangentLine} and option \nxLkeyword{Tnormal}}

\begin{BDef}
\Lcs{psTangentLine}\OptArgs\coord1\coord2\coord3\Largb{x}\Largb{dx}
\end{BDef}

\begin{LTXexample}[width=0.45\linewidth,wide]
\psset{unit=2}
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](1,-1)(4,1)
  \pscurve[showpoints=true]
    (2.1,-0.2)(2.5,0.2)(3.2,0.235)(3.8,-0.2)
  \psTangentLine[Tnormal,arrows=->,
    linecolor=red](2.5,0.2)(3.2,0.235)%
      (3.8,-0.2){3}{0.1}
  \psTangentLine[arrows=<->,
    linecolor=blue](2.5,0.2)(3.2,0.235)%
      (3.8,-0.2){3}{0.5}
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}

In special cases one has to use \Lkeyword{curvature}\verb+=1 1 1+ for the macro \Lcs{pscurve}
to get the same equation for the curve as \Lcs{psplotTangentLine} does.

\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t,preset=\centering,wide]
\psset{unit=2}
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](2,-1)(6,2)
\pscurve[showpoints=true,
  curvature=1 1 1](2.1,-0.2)(2.5,0.2)(3.2,0.235)(5.8,2)
\pscurve[showpoints=true,linecolor=green,
  curvature=1 1 1](2.5,0.2)(3.2,0.235)(5.8,2)
\psTangentLine[Tnormal,arrows=->,linecolor=red](2.5,0.2)(3.2,0.235)(5.8,2){4.6}{0.6}
\psTangentLine[arrows=<->,linecolor=blue](2.5,0.2)(3.2,0.235)(5.8,2){4.5}{0.6}
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}


The end points are saved as nodes \verb=OCurve=, \verb=ETangent=, and \verb=ENormal=. They can
be used in the default ways for nodes:

\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t,preset=\centering,wide]
\psset{unit=4,arrowscale=2}
\begin{pspicture}(0.1,-0.1)(4,1)
\pscurve[showpoints=true](2.1,-0.2)(2.5,0.2)(3.2,0.4)(3.8,-0.2)
\psTangentLine[Tnormal,arrows=->,linecolor=red](2.5,0.2)(3.2,0.4)(3.8,-0.2){3.5}{0.5}
\psTangentLine[arrows=->,linecolor=blue](2.5,0.2)(3.2,0.4)(3.8,-0.2){3.5}{0.5}
\pcline[linestyle=dashed]{->}(OCurve)(ETangent|OCurve)\naput{$v_x$}
\pcline[linestyle=dashed]{->}(ETangent|OCurve)(ETangent)\naput{$v_y$}% double coordinate (x,y|x,y)
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}


\subsection{\nxLcs{psplotTangent} and option \nxLkeyword{Tnormal}}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is an additional option, named \Lkeyword{Derive} for an
alternative function (see following example) to calculate the
slope of the tangent. This will be in general the first
derivative, but can also be any other function. If this option is
different to to the default value \Lkeyset{Derive=default}, then this
function is taken to calculate the slope. For the other cases,
\LPack{pstricks-add} builds a secant with -0.00005<x<0.00005,
calculates the slope and takes this for the tangent. This may be
problematic in some cases of special functions or $x$ values, then
it may be appropriate to use the Derive option.

\begin{BDef}
\LcsStar{psplotTangent}\OptArgs\Largb{x}\Largb{dx}\Largb{function}
\end{BDef}



The macro expects three parameters:

\begin{description}
\item[$x$]: the $x$ value of the function for which the tangent should be calculated
\item[$dx$]: the $dx$ to both sides of the $x$ value
\item[$f(x)$]: the function in infix (with option \Lkeyword{algebraic}) or the default
postfix (PostScript) notation
\end{description}

The following examples show the use of the algebraic option together with the Derive option.
Remember that using the \Lkeyword{algebraic} option implies that the angles have to be in the
radian unit!

  \multido{\n=0+1}{8}{\psplotTangent[linecolor=blue, §\ON§Derive=\Fp§\OFF§]{\n}{1}{\F}}
\end{pspicture}
\end{lstlisting}

The star version plots only the tangent line in the positive $x$-direction:

\begin{center}
\bgroup
\def\Falg{cos(x)+cos(2*x)+cos(3*x)}   \def\Fpalg{-sin(x)-2*sin(2*x)-3*sin(3*x)}

  \multido{\n=0+1}{8}{\psplotTangent*[linecolor=magenta,%
     arrows=->,arrowscale=2,algebraic,Derive={\Fpalg}]{\n}{1}{\Falg}}
\end{pspicture}
\egroup
\end{center}

\begin{lstlisting}
\def\Falg{cos(x)+cos(2*x)+cos(3*x)}   \def\Fpalg{-sin(x)-2*sin(2*x)-3*sin(3*x)}
\begin{pspicture}(-7.5,-2.5)(7.5,4)%\psgrid
  \psaxes{->}(0,0)(-7.5,-2)(7.5,3.5)
  \psplot[linewidth=1.5pt,algebraic,plotpoints=500]{-7.5}{7.5}{\Falg}
  \multido{\n=-7+1}{8}{\psplotTangent*[linecolor=red,arrows=->,arrowscale=2,algebraic]{\n}{1}{\Falg}}
  \multido{\n=0+1}{8}{\psplotTangent*[linecolor=magenta,%
     arrows=->,arrowscale=2,algebraic,Derive={\Fpalg}]{\n}{1}{\Falg}}
\end{pspicture}
\end{lstlisting}

The next example shows the use of the \Lkeyword{Derive} option to draw
the perpendicular line to the tangent.

\begin{LTXexample}[width=8cm,wide]
\begin{pspicture}(-0.5,-0.5)(7.25,7.25)
  \def\Func{10 x div}
  \psaxes[arrowscale=1.5]{->}(7,7)
  \psplot[linewidth=2pt,algebraic]{1.5}{5}{10/x}
  \psplotTangent[linewidth=.5\pslinewidth,linecolor=red,algebraic]{3}{2}{10/x}
  \psplotTangent[linewidth=.5\pslinewidth,linecolor=blue,algebraic,Derive=(x*x)/10]{3}{2}{10/x}
  \psline[linestyle=dashed](!0 /x 3 def \Func)(!3 /x 3 def \Func)(3,0)
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}

By setting the optional argument \Lkeyword{Tnormal} one can plot the
normal of the tangent line. It always starts at the given point.

\begin{LTXexample}[width=8cm,wide]
\begin{pspicture}(-0.5,-0.5)(7.25,7.25)
  \def\Func{10 x div}
  \psaxes[arrowscale=1.5]{->}(7,7)
  \psplot[linewidth=2pt]{1.5}{5}{\Func}
  \psplotTangent[linewidth=1.5\pslinewidth,linecolor=red]{3}{2}{\Func}
  \psplotTangent[linewidth=1.5\pslinewidth,linecolor=blue,Tnormal]{3}{2}{\Func}
  \psline[linestyle=dashed](!0 /x 3 def \Func)(!3 /x 3 def \Func)(3,0)
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}


Let's work with the classical \Index{cardioid}: $r=2(1+\cos(\theta))$ and
$\displaystyle \frac{d r}{d\theta}=-2\sin(\theta)$. The \Lkeyword{Derive}
option always expects the $\frac{d r}{d\theta}$ value and uses
internally the equation for the derivative of implicitly defined
functions:

\[
\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{r^\prime\cdot\sin\theta + x}{r^\prime\cdot\cos\theta - y}
\]
where $x=r\cdot\cos\theta$ and $y=r\cdot\sin\theta$


\begin{LTXexample}[width=6cm,wide]
\begin{pspicture}(-1,-3)(5,3)%\psgrid[subgridcolor=lightgray]

     \psplotTangent[polarplot,Derive=-2*sin(x),algebraic,linecolor=red,arrows=<->]{\r}{1.5}{2*(1+cos(x))} }
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}


Let's work with a \Index{Lissajou curve}:
 $\displaystyle\left\{\begin{array}{l}x=3.5\cos(2t)\\y=3.5\sin(6t)\end{array}\right.$
whose derivative is :
 $\displaystyle\left\{\begin{array}{l}x=-7\sin(2t)\\y=21\cos(6t)\end{array}\right.$

The parameter must be the letter $t$ instead of $x$ and when using
the \Lkeyword{algebraic} option you must separate the two equations by
a \Lnotation{|} (see example).

\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t,wide]
\def\Lissa{t dup 2 RadtoDeg mul cos 3.5 mul exch 6 mul RadtoDeg sin 3.5 mul}%

\section{Successive derivatives of a function}

The new PostScript function \Lps{Derive} has been added for
plotting successive derivatives of a function. It must be used
with the \Lkeyword{algebraic} option. This function has two arguments:

\begin{enumerate}
\item a positive integer which defines the order of the derivative; obviously $0$ means the
  function itself!
\item a function of variable $x$ which can be any function using common operators,
\end{enumerate}

Do not think that the derivative is approximated, the internal PostScript engine will
compute the real derivative using a formal derivative engine.

The following diagram contains the plot of the polynomial:

\[ f(x)=\sum_{i=0}^{14}\frac{(-1)^{i}x^{2i}}{i!}=1-\frac{x^2}{2}+\frac{x^4}{4!}-\frac{x^6}{6!}+\frac{x^8}{8!}-
          \frac{x^{10}}{10!}+\frac{x^{12}}{12!}-\frac{x^{14}}{14!}\]

and of its first 15 derivatives. It is the sequence definition of
the cosine.

\section{Variable step for plotting a curve}
\subsection{Theory}

As you know with the \Lcs{psplot} macro, the curve is plotted
using a piece-wise linear curve. The step is given by the
parameter \Lkeyword{plotpoints}. For each step between $x_i$ and
$x_{i+1}$, the area defined between the curve and its
approximation (a segment) is majored by this formula :

\begin{minipage}[m]{.5\linewidth}
\[|\varepsilon|\le\frac{M_2(f)(x_{i+1}-x_i)^3}{12}\]

$M_2(f)$ is a majorant of the second derivative of $f$ in the interval $[x_i;x_{i+1}]$.
\end{minipage}
{\psset{unit=1cm, showpoints=false}
\begin{pspicture}[shift=-2,showgrid=true](0,-1)(6,3)
  \pscurve(0,0)(1,1)(3,2.2)(5,2)(6,1)\psline(1,1)(5,2)
  \psline(.5,0)(5.5,0)\psline(1,0)(1,1)\psline(5,0)(5,2)
  \rput[t](1,-.1){$x_n$}\rput[t](5,-.1){$x_{n+1}$}
  \psclip{\pscustom{\psecurve(0,0)(1,1)(3,2.2)(5,2)(6,1)\psline(5,2)}}
    \psframe[fillstyle=solid, fillcolor=gray](0,0)(5,5)
  \endpsclip
  \rput*(3,1.8){$\varepsilon$}
\end{pspicture}}



The parameter \Lkeyword{VarStep} (\false\ by default) activates
the variable step algorithm. It is set to a tolerance defined by
the parameter \Lkeyword{VarStepEpsilon} (\Lkeyval{default} by default,
accept real value). If this parameter is not set by the user, then
it is automatically computed using the default first step given by
the parameter \Lkeyword{plotpoints}. Then, for each step, $f''(x_n)$
and $f''(x_{n+1})$ are computed and the smaller is used as
$M_2(f)$, and then the step is approximated. This means that the
step is constant for second order polynomials.

\subsection{The cosine}

Different value for the tolerance from $0.01$ to $0.000\,1$, a factor $10$ between
each of them. In black, there is the classic \Lcs{psplot} behavior, and in
magenta the default variable step behavior.

%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 A differential equation of first order is like

\begin{align} y^\prime=f(x,y,y^\prime) \end{align}


where $y$ is a function of $x$. We define some vectors $Y=[y, y',
\cdots , y^{(n-1)}]$ and $Y^\prime=[y^\prime, y^{\prime\prime},
\cdots , y^{n}]$, depending on the order $n$. The syntax of the
macro is

\begin{BDef}
\Lcs{psplotDiffEqn}\OptArgs\Largb{x0}\Largb{x1}\Largb{y0}\Largb{f(x,y,y',...)}
\end{BDef}

\begin{itemize}\setlength\itemsep{0pt}\setlength\parsep{0pt}\setlength\parskip{0pt}
\item \verb+options+: the \verb+\psplotDiffEqn+ specific options and all other of PSTricks, which
make sense;
\item $x_0$: the start value;
\item $x_1$: the end value of the definition interval;
\item $y_0$: the initial values for $y(x_0)\ y'(x_0)\ \ldots$;
\item $f(x,y,y',...)$: the differential equation, depending to the number of initial values, e.g.:
    \verb+{0 1}+ for $y_0$ are two initial values, so that we have a differential equation of
    second order $f(x,y,y')$ and the macro leaves $y\ y'$ on the stack.
\end{itemize}

The new options are:


\begin{itemize}\setlength\itemsep{0pt}\setlength\parsep{0pt}\setlength\parskip{0pt}
\item \Lkeyword{method}: integration method (\verb+euler+ for order 1 euler method, \verb+rk4+ for
  4\textsuperscript{th} order Runge-Kutta method);
\item \Lkeyword{whichabs}: select the abscissa for plotting the graph, by default it is
  $x$, but you can specify a number which represent a position in the vector $y$;
\item \Lkeyword{whichord}: same as precedent for the ordinate, by default $y(0)$;
\item \Lkeyword{plotfuncx}: describe a ps function for the abscissa, parameter
  \Lkeyword{whichabs} becomes useless;
\item \Lkeyword{plotfuncy}: idem for the ordinate;
\item \Lkeyword{buildvector}: boolean parameter for specifying the input-output of the
  $f$ description:
  \begin{description}
  \item[\texttt{true}] (default): $y$ is put on the stack element by element, $y'$
    must be given in the same way;
  \item[\texttt{false}]: $y$ is put on the stack as a vector, $y'$ must be returned
  in the same way;
  \end{description}

\item \Lkeyword{algebraic}: algebraic description for $f$, \Lkeyword{buildvector}
  parameter is useless when activating this option.
\end{itemize}

\subsection{Variable step for differential equations}

A new algorithm has been added for adjusting the step according to the variations of
the curve. The parameter \Lkeyword{method} has a new possible value : \Lkeyword{varrkiv} to
activate the \Index{Runge-Kutta} method with variable step, then the parameter
\Lkeyword{varsteptol} (real value; \verb+.01+ by default) can control the tolerance of
the algortihm.

\subsection{Equation of second order}

Here is the traditional simulation of two stars attracting each
other according to the classical gravitation law in
$\displaystyle\frac{1}{r^2}$. In 2-Dimensions, the system to be
solved is composed of four second order differential equations. In
order to be described, each of them gives two first order
equations, then we obtain a 8 sized vectorial equation. In the
following example the masses of the stars are 1 and 20.

\[
\left\{
\begin{array}[m]{l}
  x''_1=\displaystyle\frac{M_2}{r^2}\cos(\theta)\\
  y''_1=\displaystyle\frac{M_2}{r^2}\sin(\theta)\\
  x''_2=\displaystyle\frac{M_1}{r^2}\cos(\theta)\\
  y''_2=\displaystyle\frac{M_1}{r^2}\sin(\theta)\\
\end{array}
\right.
\mbox{ avec }
\left\{
\begin{array}[m]{l}
  r^2=(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2\\
  \cos(\theta)=\displaystyle\frac{(x_1-x_2)}{r}\\
  \sin(\theta)=\displaystyle\frac{(y_1-y_2)}{r}\\

For the initial value $y(0)=1$ we have the solution $y(x)=e^x$. $y$ is always
on the stack, so we have to do nothing. Using the \Lkeyword{algebraic} option, we write it
as \verb$y[0]$. The following example shows different solutions depending to the number of plotpoints
with $y_0=1$:

\subsubsection{Lotka-Volterra}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Lotka-Volterra model describes interactions between two species in an ecosystem, a 
predator and a prey. This represents our first multi-species model. Since we are considering 
two species, the model will involve two equations, one which describes how the prey 
population changes and the second which describes how the predator population changes.

For concreteness let us assume that the prey in our model are rabbits, and that the 
predators are foxes. If we let $R(t)$ and $F(t)$ represent the number of rabbits and 
foxes, respectively, that are alive at time t, then the Lotka-Volterra model is:
%
\begin{align}
\dot R &= a\cdot R - b\cdot R\cdot F\\
\dot F &= e\cdot b\cdot R\cdot F - c\cdot F
\end{align}
%
where the parameters are defined by:
\begin{description}
\item[a] is the natural growth rate of rabbits in the absence of predation,
\item[c] is the natural death rate of foxes in the absence of food (rabbits),
\item[b] is the death rate per encounter of rabbits due to predation,
\item[e] is the efficiency of turning predated rabbits into foxes.
\end{description}

The Stella model representing the \Index{Lotka-Volterra} model will be slightly more complex than the 
single species models we've dealt with before. The main difference is that our model will have 
two stocks (reservoirs), one for each species. Each species will have its own birth and death 
rates. In addition, the Lotka-Volterra model involves four parameters rather than two. All told, 
the Stella representation of the Lotka-Volterra model will use two stocks, four flows, four 
converters and many connectors.

This macro allows you to visualize a matrix. The datafile must be
defined as a PostScript matrix named \Lps{dotmatrix}:
\begin{lstlisting}[style=syntax]
/dotmatrix [ %  <------------ important line
0  1  1  0  0  0  0  1  1  1

1  0  1  0  0  1  1  1  0  0
] def        %  <------------ important line
\end{lstlisting}

Only the value 0 is important, in which case nothing happens, and
for all other cases a dot is printed. The syntax of the macro is:

\begin{BDef}
\Lcs{psMatrixPlot}\OptArgs\Largb{rows}\Largb{columns}\Largb{data file}
\end{BDef}

The \Index{matrix} is scanned line by line from the the first one to the
last. In general it appears as a bottom-to-top version of the
above listed matrix, the first row $0\,1\,1\,0\,0\,0\,0\,1\,1\,1$
is the first plotted line ($y=1$). With the option
\Lkeyword{ChangeOrder}=\true\ it looks exactly like the above view.

With the \Lkeyword{colorType}=1 the data is printed as continous color
in the range of the wavelength. The smallest value of the data array
is set to red and the biggest value is set to violett. All other values
are substituted by the corresponding color of the wavlength.
\Lkeyword{colorType}=2 ist the same, but vice versa
with the color, from violet to red. \Lkeyword{colorType}=3 is the grayscale
image and \Lkeyword{colorType}=4 the same invers.

With the \Lkeyword{colorType}=5 the color setting can be user defined by the
optional argument \Lkeyword{colorTypeDef}. On the stack is the current value
which can be used for the setting but must be left on the stack when everything
is finished. The following example prints the 0 as color white, the value 1 as
black and all other values depending to the corresponding gray value.

        \pslbrace 0 setgray \psrbrace
        \pslbrace Min sub dMaxMin div neg 1 add 300 mul 400 add
          \pswavelengthToGRAY setgray \psrbrace ifelse
      \psrbrace ifelse 
  },
\end{lstlisting}

Replace the \Lcs{pslbrace} and \Lcs{psrbrace} with \{ and \} if it maybe confusing to read:

\begin{lstlisting}
    dup /value exch def 
    value 0 eq 
      { 1 setgray }
      { value 1 eq 
        { 0 setgray }
        { Min sub dMaxMin div neg 1 add 300 mul 400 add
          \pswavelengthToGRAY setgray } ifelse
      } ifelse 
\end{lstlisting}

Another possibility is to define the color procedure onside the data file, where
it \emph{must} be named \Lps{colorTypeDef}. If such a definition exists, the one from
the optional argument \Lkeyword{colorTypeDef} will be ignored. There can be no
\TeX-specific code inside this definition because it is read on PostScript level,
the reason why \Lcs{pswavelengthToGRAY} cannot be used.

\section{Dashed Lines}

Tobias Nähring has implemented an enhanced feature for dashed
lines. The number of arguments is no longer limited.

\begin{BDef}
\Lkeyword{dash}=value1\OptArg*{unit} value2\OptArg*{unit} \ldots
\end{BDef}

\begin{LTXexample}[width=0.4\linewidth]

\section{Arrows}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Definition}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\LPack{pstricks-add} defines the following "`arrows"':

\begin{center}
  \bgroup
  \def\myline#1{\psline[linecolor=red,linewidth=0.5pt,arrowscale=1.5]{#1}(0,1ex)(1.3,1ex)}%
  \psset{arrowscale=1.5}
  \begin{tabular}{@{} c @{\qquad} p{3cm} l @{}}%
    Value & Example & Name \\[2pt]\hline
    \Lnotation{-}      & \myline{-}      & None\\
    \Lnotation{<->}    & \myline{<->}    & Arrowheads.\\
    \Lnotation{>-<}    & \myline{>-<}    & Reverse arrowheads.\\
    \Lnotation{<{<}-{>}>}  & \myline{<<->>}  & Double arrowheads.\\
    \Lnotation{{>}>-{<}<}  & \myline{>>-<<}  & Double reverse arrowheads.\\
    \Lnotation{{|}-{|}}    & \myline{|-|}    & T-bars, flush to endpoints.\\
    \Lnotation{{|}*-{|}*}  & \myline{|*-|*}  & T-bars, centered on endpoints.\\
    \Lnotation{[-]}    & \myline{[-]}    & Square brackets.\\
    \Lnotation{]-[}    & \myline{]-[}    & Reversed square brackets.\\

    \Lnotation{oo-oo}  & \myline{oo-oo}  & Circles, flush to endpoints.\\
    \Lnotation{**-**}  & \myline{**-**}  & Disks, flush to endpoints.\\
    \Lnotation{{|}<->{|}}  & \myline{|<->|}  & T-bars and arrows.\\
    \Lnotation{{|}>-<{|}}  & \myline{|>-<|}  & T-bars and reverse arrows.\\
    \Lnotation{h-h{|}}   & \myline{h-h}    & left/right hook arrows.\\

    \Lnotation{V-V|}   & \myline{V-V}    & left/right outside vee arrows.\\
    \Lnotation{f-f|}   & \myline{f-f}    & left/right inside filled arrows.\\
    \Lnotation{F-F|}   & \myline{F-F}    & left/right outside filled arrows.\\
    \Lnotation{t-t|}   & \myline{t-t}    & left/right inside slash arrows.\\[5pt]
    \Lnotation{T-T|}   & \myline{T-T}    & left/right outside slash arrows.\\
  \end{tabular}
  \egroup
\end{center}



You can also mix and match, e.g., \Lnotation{->}, \Lnotation{*-)} and \Lnotation{[->} are all valid values
of the \Lkeyword{arrows} parameter. The parameter can be set with

\begin{BDef}
\Lcs{psset}\Largb{arrows=<type>}
\end{BDef}

\noindent or for some macros with a special option, like\\[5pt]
\noindent\verb|\psline[<general options>]{<arrow type>}(A)(B)|\\
\noindent\verb/\psline[linecolor=red,linewidth=2pt]{|->}(0,0)(0,2)/ \ \psline[linecolor=red,linewidth=2pt]{|->}(0,0)(0,2)

\subsection{Multiple arrows}
There are two new options which are only valid for the arrow type \verb+<<+ or \verb+>>+.
\verb+nArrow+ sets both, the \verb+nArrowA+ and the  \verb+nArrowB+ parameter. The meaning
is declared in the following tables. Without setting one of these parameters the behaviour
is like the one described in the old PSTricks manual.

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{@{}lc@{}}%
    Value & Meaning \\[2pt]\hline
    \Lnotation{-{>}>}   & \ -A \\
    \Lnotation{{<}<-{>}>} & A-A\\
    \Lnotation{{<}<-}   & A-\ \\
    \Lnotation{{>}>-}   & B-\ \\
    \Lnotation{-{<}<}   & \ -B\\
    \Lnotation{{>}>-{<}<} & B-B\\
    \Lnotation{{>}>-{>}>} & B-A\\
    \Lnotation{{<}<-{<}<} & A-B

\subsection{\texttt{hookrightarrow} and \texttt{hookleftarrow}}
This is another type of arrow and is abbreviated with \Lnotation{H}.
The length and width of the hook is set by the new options
\Lkeyword{hooklength} and \Lkeyword{hookwidth}, which are by default set
to
%
\begin{BDef}
\Lcs{psset}\Largb{hooklength=3mm,hookwidth=1mm}
\end{BDef}
%
If the line begins with a right hook then the line ends with a left hook and vice versa:

\end{longtable}

\medskip
Without the default arrow definition there is only the one inside
the line, defined by the type and the position. The position is
relative to the length of the whole line. $0.25$ means at $25\%$
of the line length. The peak of the arrow gets the coordinates
which are calculated by the macro. If you want arrows with an
absolute position difference, then choose a value greater than
\verb|1|, e.\,g. \verb|10| which places an arrow every 10~pt. The
default unit \verb|pt| cannot be changed.

\medskip
\noindent
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{@{\color{red}\vrule width 2pt}lX@{}}
& The \Lkeyword{ArrowInside} takes only arrow definitions like \Lnotation{->} into account.
Arrows from right to left (\Lnotation{<-}) are not possible and ignored. If you need
such arrows, change the order of the pairs of coordinates for the line or curve macro.
\end{tabularx}

%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{\nxLkeyword{ArrowFill} Option}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By default all arrows are filled polygons. With the option
\Lkeyset{ArrowFill=false} there are ''white`` arrows. Only for the
beginning/end arrows are they empty, the inside arrows are
overpainted by the line.


\psset{arrowscale=1}

\section{Ticks and other marks along a curve}
\subsection{Quick overview}

The macros described below allow you to place tick and other marks along an arbitrary 
parametric curve with placement rules similar to those used by \Lcs{psaxes} in 
the \LPack{pst-plot} package. You have to define a metric function along the curve to 
govern tick placement. That function can be a specified function of \texttt{x,y} which 
should increase along the curve, or it can be an function whose increment is a specified 
positive function of \texttt{x, y, dx, dy, ds} where the last term is the arc-length element 
that you could specify alternately as \texttt{dx dup mul dy dup mul add sqrt}.
% start new material


In addition, a new command \Lcs{Put} is proposed, expanding as appropriate to \Lcs{rput} or \Lcs{uput}. Its syntax is

\begin{BDef}
\LcsStar{Put}\OptArgs\OptArg*{\Largb{<ref>}}\Largr{<position>}\Largb{<stuff>}
\end{BDef}

where the optional \texttt{*} blanks the background, the optional \OptArgs\ may be used to specify a rotation 
using any form acceptable to \Lcs{SpecialCoor} (eg, \nxLkeyword{rot=45} or \Lkeyword{rot}\verb|={(1,1)}| 
or \Lkeyword{rot}\verb|=(P)|, and \Larg{ref} takes one of 
two forms: \verb=(a)= a refpt such as \texttt{Bl}, in which case \Lcs{rput} is called; (b) a polar form of offset 
(eg, \verb=7pt;30=, or \verb=;(P)= --- in the latter case, \Ldim{pslabelsep} is substituted for the missing 
radius), in which case a modified form of \Lcs{uput} is called. The idea of \Lcs{Put} is to allow  \texttt{position}, 
\texttt{ref} and \texttt{rot} to be specified in any of the forms acceptable to \Lcs{SpecialCoor} and to do so with 
the same output no matter what form is used. The cost of this consistency is that \Lcs{Put} can lead to results 
that differ from \Lcs{uput} in some special cases. 


\subsection{Details}
Suppose you have drawn a parametric curve using \Lcs{psparametricplot}, and you wish to 
indicate some points on the curve using tick-marks like those  on the axes. This is a 
two-step process, the first of which serves to define at the PostScript level a 
number of data arrays containing information about the curve. Those arrays are used 
in the second step to compute tick positions and draw the ticks. The first step is 
to run the macro \Lcs{pscurvepoints}. For example,

\begin{verbatim}
\pscurvepoints[plotpoints=20]{0}{6}{t t t mul 12 div}{Pt}%
\end{verbatim}
makes a virtual (ie, data only---nothing is rendered) polyline with 20 vertices approximating 
the curve $x(t)=t, y(t)=t^2/12$, $0\le t\le 6$. The last argument \texttt{Pt} is the root name 
given to the data arrays.  PostScript arrays will be created with the following names: \texttt{Pt.X, Pt.Y} 
for the coordinates of the vertices, \texttt{PtDelta.X, PtDelta.Y} for the increments between the 
vertices (using, eg, \texttt{PtDelta.X[2]=Pt.X[2]-Pt.X[1]}) and \texttt{PtNormal.X, PtNormal.Y} for 
a vector normal to \texttt{PtDelta.X, PtDelta.Y} in the visual, not mathematical, sense. 
(Both senses are the same if the scales on the axes are identical.) The \texttt{Normal} is 
always constructed so as to point ``upward'' (ie, to your left) as you traverse the curve 
in the positive direction. The PostScript variable \texttt{unitratio} provides the ratio of 
the unit on the y axis to that on x axis, and \texttt{unitratiosq} is its square. All of 
these PostScript objects are stored in the main \texttt{pstricks} dictionary \Lps{tx@Dict} 
which should be automatically made available when using many \texttt{pstricks} macros. 
If \texttt{gs} returns you an error message like
\begin{verbatim}
Error: /undefined in Pt.X
\end{verbatim}
then you may need to enclose the offending PostScript code within a block of the form
\begin{verbatim}
tx@Dict begin ... end
\end{verbatim}
so that the dictionary is made available.

With this preparation, the main tick-making macro may be run. For example,
\begin{verbatim}
\pspolylineticks{Pt}{ dx dy add 3 div }{1}{2}%
\end{verbatim}
looks for data arrays made using \Lcs{pscurvepoints} with the root name \texttt{Pt}. The next argument, 
\texttt{dx dy add 3 div}, specifies the (PostScript) function of increments that should be used to 
construct the metric. If the keyword \verb|metricInitValue| is defined, eg, with 
\Lcs{psset}\Largb{\Lkeyword{metricInitValue}=2.5}, it is used as the initial value of the metric, 
otherwise it is defined to be 0. In the previous example, the increment function is always 
positive, and care should be taken to guarantee this is so or the results will not be meaningful. 
(If we wanted to use arc-length, the function would have been \texttt{ds}, assuming equal scales on 
the axes.) The last two arguments determine the index of the first tick and the number of ticks. 
Tick numbering begins with index 0, so the example says to drop the first tick and draw the 
next 2 ticks. In this example, where all keywords take their default values, ticks are 
potentially located at values on the curve where the metric takes a positive integer value. 
In the arc-length example, the tick with index 0 is at the beginning of the curve, and subsequent 
ticks are at unit distance, measured along the curve. At each index where a tick is drawn, a 
\Lcs{pnode} is created: In this example, you create nodes \texttt{PtTick1, PtTick2} on the curve 
where the ticks are located. This is handy for placing labels using, eg, \Lcs{Put}. In 
addition, PostScript data arrays (in this example, \texttt{PtTickN.X, PtTickN.Y} of the normals 
at these nodes are stored in the dictionary \texttt{TDict}. More importantly, the tangent and 
normal vectors at \texttt{PtTick0} etc are constructed as nodes with names \texttt{PtTangent0, PtNormal0} 
etc. See the last example below for typical usage.

The shape of the ticks is governed by the keywords \Lkeyword{ticksize} (default value \texttt{-4pt 4pt})
 and \Lkeyword{tickwidth} (default value \verb|.5\linewidth|.) With the default settings, ticks 
 are drawn perpendicular the the curve extending \texttt{4pt} to each side. The line
\begin{verbatim}
\pspolylineticks[ticksize=-6pt 6pt]{Pt}{ dx dy add 3 div }{1}{2}%
\end{verbatim}
would draw longer ticks than the default.

Placement of the ticks is governed by the keywords \Lkeyword{Ds} and \Lkeyword{Os}, whose meaning for the 
curve is similar to (but not the same as) the meanings of \Lkeyword{Dx} and \Lkeyword{Ox} with respect to the x axis. 
That is, if \texttt{Ds=2} and \texttt{Os=0}, ticks will be drawn where the metric takes 
values 0, 2, 4 and so on. More generally, ticks are placed where the metric takes 
value \texttt{Os, Os+Ds, Os+2*Ds,...}, as long as those positions are on the curve. If \Lkeyword{Os} 
has an empty value as a result, say, of \verb|\psset{Os=}|, then \Lkeyword{Os} is set internally 
to the initial metric value. If \Lkeyword{Ds} has an empty value, it is set internally to the 
final metric value less the initial metric value, divided by 10. 

To draw major and minor ticks requires two passes---one to draw the minor ticks and then one to draw the major ticks.

Note that a ticks may be placed at arbitrary metric values on the curve by running the macro once for each point, like:
\begin{verbatim}
\pspolylineticks[ticksize=-6pt 6pt,Os=1.3]{Pt}{ dx dy add 3 div }{0}{1}%
\pspolylineticks[ticksize=-6pt 6pt,Os=2.4]{Pt}{ dx dy add 3 div }{0}{1}%
\end{verbatim}

You may also dispense entirely with the tick and use the macro to generate a node sequence 
that can be used to place other graphic objects. For example:
\begin{verbatim}
\pspolylineticks[ticksize=0pt 0pt]{Pt}{ dx dy add 3 div }{0}{3}%
%This defines nodes PtTick0..PtTick2
\multido{\iA=0+1}{3}{\psdot(PtTick\iA)}
\end{verbatim}


There is another way to define a metric function without using increments. If the keywork \Lkeyword{metricFunction} is set to \true, 
then the function you present as an argument to \Lcs{pspolylineticks} must be a function of 
$x$ and $y$ only, and must be designed to increase along the curve. It is useful only in 
those cases where, in essence, the increment function can be explicitly integrated. 
For example, in the elliptical motion of planets and comets around the sun, it is not hard 
to integrate the area function explicitly, and this provides a convenient metric, being proportional to time elapsed.

There is some useful information left in the log by these macros. 
They report the starting and ending values of the metric function, 
the the range of indices for the Tick related arrays.

\subsection{Examples}
The examples in this section make use of very recent (as of May, 2010) versions 
of \LPack{pstricks} and related packages. 
%If the \texttt{pst-grapha} package is not available on CTAN,  download it from

The first couple of examples are constructed entirely by hand, and have no interest 
other than to illustrate what is going on under the surface in the simplest case.

The next example is a smooth path where subticks are drawn first, followed by major ticks. 
The metric is arc-length with initial value $s=1$.
\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t]

Suppose for the next example that we have an ellipse $x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2=1$ ($a>b$) with 
eccentricity $\epsilon=(1-b^2/a^2)^{1/2}$. With planetary motion in mind, a natural metric 
for the ellipse is the area swept out by the radial line from the focus $(\epsilon a,0)$ 
starting from $(a,0)$ around to an arbitrary location $(x,y)$, where $y>0$, as this quantity 
is proportional to the time elapsed since perihelion. A routine calculation gives the following formula:
\[A=\frac{ab}{2}\arccos\bigg(\frac{x}{a}\bigg)-\frac{\epsilon a y}{2}.\]
Remembering that PostScript's \texttt{acos} gives  its result in degrees, not radians, we have the 
following, drawn for the case $a=4$, $b=3$.

\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t]
\begin{pspicture}(-4.5,-.5)(4.5,3.5)
\pstVerb{ /smajor 4 def /sminor 3 def % define semimajor, semiminor 
/ecc 1 sminor smajor div dup mul sub sqrt def % compute eccentricity

\psparametricplot[algebraic]{0}{3.142}{smajor*cos(t) | sminor*sin(t)}%
\pscurvepoints{0}{3.142}{smajor*cos(t) | sminor*sin(t)}{P}%
\pspolylineticks[metricFunction,Ds=2,ticksize=-1.5pt 0]{P}{ ab x smajor div acos %

\multido{\i=1+1}{9}{\psline[linecolor=lightgray](S)(PTick\i)}
\psdot(S)
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}

\clearpage
The next examples works without visible ticks, using the macros to construct nodes at which other objects will be placed.

\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t]
\begin{pspicture}(-1,-1)(10,4)
\psparametricplot[algebraic]{0}{9}{t| 3*Ex(-t)*(1+t+t^2/2+t^3/6)}
\pscurvepoints{0}{9}{t| 3*Ex(-t)*(1+t+t^2/2+t^3/6)}{P}%
\pspolylineticks[Os=1,Ds=1,ticksize=0 0]{P}{ ds }{0}{9}%
\multido{\i=0+1}{9}{\psdot[dotscale=1.5,dotstyle=o](PTick\i)}%
% ticks at s=1,2,... , start at tick index 0, set 9 ticks
% the tick at s=1 has index 0
% ticks at s=1,2... (increment function = distance)
\multido{\i=0+3}{3}{\Put[rot=(PTangent\i)]{7pt;(PNormal\i)}(PTick\i){PTick\i}}%
\uput[-135](PTick1){$s=2$}%
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}

This variant also has no visible ticks, but makes a color gradient along the curve based on arc-length from the start.

\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t]
\begin{pspicture}(-1,-1)(10,4)
\psparametricplot[plotpoints=200,linecolor=white]{0}{360}{ t cos 1 add 4 mul t 1 add 20 div ln 2 div 1 add }
\pscurvepoints[plotpoints=200]{0}{360}{ t cos 1 add 4 mul t 1 add 20 div ln 2 div 1 add }{P}%
\pspolylineticks[Os=0,Ds=.2,ticksize=0 0]{P}{ ds }{0}{90}%
\definecolorseries{ctest}{hsb}{last}{green}{violet}
\resetcolorseries[88]{ctest}%
\multido{\iA=0+1,\iB=1+1}{87}{\psline[linewidth=2pt,linecolor=ctest!![\iB](PTick\iA)(PTick\iB)}%
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}

\clearpage
Here is a another variant of this technique which allows arrows to be placed at locations 
on the curve where the metric takes particular values.

\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t]
\begin{pspicture}(-1,-1)(10,4.5)
\psparametricplot[plotpoints=100]{0}{360}{t cos 1 add 5 mul t sin 1 add 2 mul}
\pscurvepoints[plotpoints=100]{0}{360}{t cos 1 add 5 mul t sin 1 add 2 mul}{P}%
\pspolylineticks[Os=0,Ds=2.3,ticksize=0 0]{P}%
{ ds }{0}{10}% distance
\multido{\i=0+1}{10}{\psrline[arrows=->,arrowscale=1.5](PTick\i)(2pt;{(PTangent\i)})}%
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}

\section{Troubleshooting}
If you get PostScript errors when you process your file, the  most likely culprit is the 
function you specified to define the metric. There are some  things to look out for:
\begin{itemize}
\item If \Lkeyword{metricFunction}, the function you specify in PostScript code must 
involve only \texttt{x} and \texttt{y}, and must leave exactly one real value on the stack as a result of 
substituting specific values for \texttt{x} and \texttt{y}. The function must be strictly increasing on the curve.
\item If \Lkeyword{metricFunction}=\false (the default), the function you specify in PostScript 
code must involve only the variables \texttt{x}, \texttt{y}, \texttt{dx}, \texttt{dy}, \texttt{ds} (where \texttt{ds} 
is defined to be the arc-length element \texttt{dx dup mul dy dup mul add sqrt}, and must leave exactly 
one strictly positive real value on the stack when specific values are substituted for those variables. 
The constant function \texttt{1} gives equal weight to each segment in the curve, so in effect it gives 
you the original parametrization, up to a constant factor.
\item If the function you specify in \Lcs{parametricplot} and \Lcs{pscurvepoints} is \Lkeyword{algebraic}, 
make sure you follow precisely the syntax it understands. In complex cases, PostScript may be the safer solution.
\item It is unwise to use a different resolution for \Lcs{psparametricplot} and \Lcs{pscurvepoints}. 
The default value of \Lkeyword{plotpoints}=50 is marginal except for modest curve segments, and 200 should 
suffice for most smooth curves.
\end{itemize}

\section{Transparent colors}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Transparency is now part of the main \LPack{pstricks} package.
But pay attention, the names and syntax have changed and you need
to run \Lprog{ps2pdf} with the option
\Loption{-dCompatibilityLevel}=1.4.


%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{,,Manipulating transparent colors''}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

\LPack{pstricks-add} supports real transparency and a simulated one with hatch lines:
\begin{lstlisting}
\def\defineTColor{\@ifnextchar[{\defineTColor@i}{\defineTColor@i[]}}
\def\defineTColor@i[#1]#2#3{%     transparency "Colors"
  \newpsstyle{#2}{%
     fillstyle=vlines,hatchwidth=0.1\pslinewidth,
     hatchsep=1\pslinewidth,hatchcolor=#3,#1%
  }%
}
\defineTColor{TRed}{red}
\defineTColor{TGreen}{green}
\defineTColor{TBlue}{blue}
\end{lstlisting}

There are three predefined "'transparent"` colors \verb+TRed+,
\verb+TGreen+, \verb+TBlue+. They are used as \PST{} styles and
not as colors:

\bgroup
\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t,preset=\centering]
\begin{pspicture}(-3,-5)(5,5)
\psframe(-1,-3)(5,5) % objet de base
\psrotate(2,-2){15}{%
  \psframe[style=TRed](-1,-3)(5,5)}
\psrotate(2,-2){30}{%
  \psframe[style=TGreen](-1,-3)(5,5)}
\psrotate(2,-2){45}{%
  \psframe[style=TBlue](-1,-3)(5,5)}
\psframe[linewidth=3pt](-1,-3)(5,5)
\psdots[dotstyle=+,dotangle=45,dotscale=3](2,-2) % centre de la rotation
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}
\egroup

%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Calculated colors}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The \verb+xcolor+ package (version 2.6) has a new feature for defining colors:
\begin{lstlisting}[style=syntax]
  \definecolor[ps]{<name>}{<model>}{< PS code >}
\end{lstlisting}

\verb+model+ can be one of the color models, which \PS will
understand, e.g. \verb+rgb+. With this definition the color is
calculated on the \PS side.

\section{Gouraud shading}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\begin{quotation}
\Index{Gouraud} shading is a method used in computer graphics to simulate the differing effects of
light and colour across the surface of an object. In practice, Gouraud shading is used to
achieve smooth lighting on low-polygon surfaces without the heavy computational requirements
of calculating lighting for each pixel. The technique was first presented by Henri Gouraud in 1971.\\
~\hfill{\small \url{http://www.wikipedia.org}}
\end{quotation}

PostScript level 3 supports this kind of shading and it can only
be seen with Acroread 7 or later. The syntax is easy:

\begin{lstlisting}[style=syntax]
  \psGTriangle(x1,y1)(x2,y2)(x3,y3){color1}{color2}{color3}

The internal macros \Lcs{pswavelengthToRGB} and \Lcs{pswavelengthToRGB} can be used for own purposed.
They are defines as follows:

\begin{lstlisting}
\def\pswavelengthToGRAY{ tx@addDict begin wavelengthToGRAY end }
\def\pswavelengthToRGB{ tx@addDict begin wavelengthToRGB Red Green Blue end }
\end{lstlisting}

both macros leave the value(s) on the stack which then can be used for further
manipulating or setting the color with \Lps{setgray} or \Lps{setrgbcolor}. 
For an example see Section~\ref{sec:psMatrix}.

Sometimes it is difficult to know what options, which are changed
inside a long document, are different to the default ones. With
this macro all options belonging to \LPack{pst-plot} can be reset.
This refers to all options of the packages \LPack{pstricks},
\LPack{pst-plot} and \LPack{pst-node}.
