\title{\texttt{PSTricks -- version 1.10}\\new macros and bugfixes for \texttt{pstricks}}

\maketitle

\begin{abstract}
This new version 1.10 has some minor but important changes; it is not compatible
to older versions when using the vertical shift option for the \verb+pspicture+
environment.

\section{New and modified option for {pspicture}}\label{sec:option}

Table~\ref{tab:pspicture} shows the two new options for the  \verb+pspicture+ environment.

\begin{table}[htb]
\caption{Optionen der \texttt{pspicture}-Umgebung}\label{tab:pspicture}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{@{}lll@{}}
\textrm{\emph{name}}  & \emph{meaning}   & \emph{default}\\\hline
\verb+shift+  & vertical shift & $0$ \\
\verb+showgrid+ & show grid & \verb+false+\\
\end{tabular}
\end{table}


% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{\texttt{shift}}\label{subsubsec:shift}
% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This option is the known one from older \texttt{PSTricks} version, but now with the
usual syntax for options. The shift is relative to the height of the defined \verb+pspicture+
environment, its lower left corner is by deafult on the base line. For older versions
the shift depends with its value to the baseline, a negative value raised up the \verb+pspicture+
box. Now the \verb+shift+ option works similiar to the known \CMD{raisebox} makro, except that
\verb+shift+ is relative to the box height. A positive \verb+shift+ value raises up the box
and vice versa for a negative value.

% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{\texttt{showgrid}}\label{subsubsec:showgrid}
% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This new version of \texttt{PSTricks} defines internally a special grid style

\begin{lstlisting}
\newpsstyle{gridstyle}{%
  subgriddiv=0,gridcolor=lightgray,griddots=10,gridlabels=8pt}
\end{lstlisting}

which can be overwritten by the user. This style is only used for the \verb+showgrid+
option of the \verb+pspicture+ environment. The macro \verb+\psgrid+ doesn't use this predefined
style and works in the usual way. However, the user can use it like all
other self defined styles: \verb+\psgrid[style=gridstyle]+.


\begin{LTXexample}[width=3.5cm]
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](-1,0)(2,1)
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}

\begin{LTXexample}[width=3.5cm]
\newpsstyle{gridstyle}{%
  subgriddiv=2,subgridcolor=lightgray}
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](-1,0)(2,1)
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}

\begin{LTXexample}[width=3.5cm]
\newpsstyle{gridstyle}{}
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](-1,0)(2,1)
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}

\begin{LTXexample}[width=3.5cm]
\begin{pspicture}(-1,0)(2,1)
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}

\begin{LTXexample}[width=3.5cm]
\begin{pspicture}(-1,0)(2,1)
  \psgrid
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}

Depending to the internal structure of the \verb+pspicture+ environment it is not possible
to set the \verb+shift+ option global by \CMD{psset}, it must always be locally defined
with optional part of the parameter, as seen in the above examples.


\section{Bugfixes}
\subsection{\texttt{origin}}

There were several mailings in the past to the \verb+origin+ option, which worked the other
way round than expected. Now the coordinates work realtive to the current origin.


\begin{LTXexample}[width=3cm]
\begin{pspicture}(-1,-1)(2,1.25)
  \psaxes{->}(0,0)(-1,-1)(2,1.25)
  \psset{linewidth=1.5pt}
  \parabola[linestyle=dashed](-1,1)(0,0)
  \parabola[origin={0.5,-0.5}](-1,1)(0,0)
  \qdisk(0.5,-0.5){2pt}
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}

\subsection{Empty parameter}
\sloppy
To prevent some problems with empty arrow definitions in macros like \verb+\psline[...]{}(..)(...)+,
which makes no sense, but should be possible, there is now a check before setting the values.

\subsection{\CMD{nccircle}}
With some modification to \CMD{psarc\@iv} it is now possible to get the loops in any direction
and above or below the node.

\begin{LTXexample}[width=.35\linewidth]
\psscalebox{1.5}{%
  \circlenode{A}{A}
  \nccircle{->}{A}{1.5em} \nbput{foo}
  \nccircle{<-}{A}{-1.5em}\naput{bar}}
%
\hspace{1cm}
\psscalebox{1.5}{%
  \circlenode{A}{A}
  \nccircle{<-}{A}{1.5em} \nbput{foo}
  \nccircle{->}{A}{-1.5em}\naput{bar}}
\end{LTXexample}

\subsection{\CMD{psscalebox} and \CMD{psscaleboxto}}
To prevent clashes with the \verb+graphicx+ package, which also defines a \CMD{scalebox} macro
with different syntax,
\verb+PSTricks+ now defines \CMD{psscalebox} and \CMD{psscaleboxto}. For some compatibility reasons the old
names are still supported. With the new names it doesn'r matter if \verb+pstricks+ is loaded before or after
\verb+graphicx+.
