%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are new optional arguments \Lkeyword{monochrome} and \Lkeyword{grayscale} to convert \emph{all} RGB and CMYK colors
into black and white or grayscale. The equations are:
\subsection{RGB to gray}
\[ \text{gray} = 0.07 \text{red} + 0.71 \text{green} + 0.21 \text{blue} \]
\subsection{CMYK to gray}
\begin{align*}
c &= c (1 - k) + k\\
m &= m (1 - k) + k\\
y &= y (1 - k) + k\\
r, g, b &= (1 - c), (1 - m), (1 - y)\\
\text{gray} &= 0.299 r + 0.587 g + 0.114 b
\end{align*}
This change will be global and effects also all other color setting!
See section~\vref{subsec:monochrome} for a local change of the color output.
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{\texttt{pstricks.tex} (\pstricksFV -- \pstricksFD)}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a new optional argument \Lkeyword{pgffunctions} for the environment \Lenv{pspicture}.
With this option one can force the loading of the special pgf PostScript function
which in some cases are missing, when using the package \LPack{auto-pst-pdf} and another
package which uses pgf macros.
\lstinline|\begin{pspicture}[pgffunctions,...](...)(...)|
\subsection{labelsep}
The \Lkeyword{labelsep} is the first -- optional -- argument of \Lcs{uput}.
It is now possible to use the PostScript notation for this \emph{length}, eg \verb|{! 45 sin 3 mul}|.
Then the unit which is active when \Lcs{uput} is active is used. With a unit the PS notation
ist not allowed and leads to an error!
\subsection{Customization}
\Lcs{pscustom} now knows the PostScript function \Lcs{reversepath}:
\begin{LTXexample}[width=5cm]
\begin{pspicture}(5,3)
\pnode(5;30){A}
\psline(A)(0,0)(5;0)
\pscustom[fillstyle=vlines]{%
\psarcAB(A)(0,0)(2,0)
\reversepath
\psarcAB(A)(0,0)(4,0)}
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}
\subsection{Coordinates}
\subsubsection{Postscript mode}
A preceeding \verb|!| in coordinates will interpret the following expressing in Postfix notation.
The expression is automatically translated from user into screen coordinates. With a double \verb|!!|
this can be omitted and the Postscript expression will not be translated. This is useful in some
special cases:
\begin{LTXexample}[width=5cm]
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid](2,2)(5,5)
\pscustom{
\psarc(3,3){1}{0}{90}
\rmoveto(.5;-90)
\psarc[liftpen=2](!!CP){.5}{90}{180}}
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}
\verb|CP| is the internal abbreviation for the Postscript function \texttt{currentpoint}.
\subsubsection{Algebraic mode}
Additionally to the special pair of coordinates \verb|(*x f(x))| where $x$ must be a value in
PostScript notation and $f(x)$ in algebraic noatation, there is now a \verb|(**{f(y), y})|
which is vice versa, $f(y)$ in algebraic and $y$ in PostScript notation. And there is also
a \verb|(+{x}, {f(x)})|, where both expressions must be in algebraic notation and \verb|{x}| must expand to a value
or an expression which uses known system or user defined PostScript functions.
\begin{LTXexample}[width=5cm]
\def\f(#1){#1^2} \def\y{2}
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid](5,5)
\pnode(+{sqrt(Pi),1.5*(sin(x)^2+cos(x)^2)}){A}
\psdot(A) \psline[arrowscale=1.5]{->}(A)
\psline{->}(*2 {x^2}) \psline{->}(**{y^2} 2)
\psline(1,1)(**{\f(y)} 2.2)(2;45)(*2 {\f(x)})
\psline[linecolor=blue]{->}(+{sqrt(2),\f(x)})
\psline[linecolor=blue]{->}(+{sqrt(3)},{\f(x)})
\psline(+1,x+0.5)
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}
Important: If the expression contains itself a parenthesis like \verb|)| then the argument must
be inside braces; otherwise \TeX\ will take the first closing parenthesis as clsong delimiter
for the complete coordinate argument \verb|(...)| which then gives an error.
\subsection{Fillstyle \texttt{dots}}
A fix for the fill style \Lkeyval{dots} to make it work again:
\begin{LTXexample}[width=5cm]
\pspicture(4,3)
\psframe[fillstyle=dots](4,3)
\endpspicture
\end{LTXexample}
\subsection{New macro \nxLcs{psRing}}
\begin{BDef}
\LcsStar{psRing}\OptArgs\Largr{\CAny}\Largb{Inner Radius}\Largb{Outer Radius}
\end{BDef}
\begin{LTXexample}[width=5cm]
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid](4,4)
\psRing[linecolor=red](2,2){0.3}{0.8}
\psRing*[opacity=0.5](2,2){1}{2}
\psdot(2,2)
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}
\subsection{New macros \nxLcs{pssetMonochrome}, \nxLcs{pssetGrayscale}, and \nxLcs{psresetColor}}\label{subsec:monochrome}
\begin{BDef}
\Lcs{pssetMonochrome}\\
\Lcs{pssetGrayscale}\\
\Lcs{psresetColor}
\end{BDef}
\begin{LTXexample}[width=5cm]
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid](4,4)
\pssetMonochrome%
\psRing[linecolor=red](2,2){0.3}{0.8}
\psRing*[linecolor=red!30](2,2){1}{2}
\psresetColor%
\psdot[linecolor=red,dotscale=3](2,2)
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}
\begin{LTXexample}[width=5cm]
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid](4,4)
\pssetGrayscale%
\psRing[linecolor=red](2,2){0.3}{0.8}
\psRing*[linecolor=red!30](2,2){1}{2}
\psresetColor%
