\title{\texttt{PSTricks -- version 1.12}\\new macros and bugfixes for \texttt{pstricks}}
\author{Herbert Voß\thanks{%
\url{Herbert.Voss@perce.de}}}
\date{\today}

\maketitle

\begin{abstract}
This new version of \texttt{pstricks.tex} depends on the also new prologue file
\texttt{pstricks.pro} (v 1.00), which should go into the local \TeX-directory \url{$TEXMFLOCAL/dvips/}.
\end{abstract}

%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{New macro names}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In general \texttt{PSTricks} uses macronames with a preceeding \verb+ps+ to prevent 
clashes with other packages. However, some macros have names without the \verb+ps+ and
these ones have now new names:

\begin{verbatim}
  \scalebox    -> \psscalebox
  \scaleboxto  -> \psscaleboxto
  \rotateleft  -> \psrotateleft
  \rotateright -> \psrotateright
  \rotatedown  -> \psrotatedown
\end{verbatim}

The first change is important, because there were a lot of problems in the past;
\verb+graphicx+ also defines a \verb+scalebox+ but with diffent syntax.


%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{\texttt{shift} Option}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The new \verb+shift+ option now expects a length with a \verb+PSTricks+ compatible dimension.

\bgroup
\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t]
\small
\textcolor{red}{\rule{5mm}{1pt}}%
\begin{pspicture}[shift=0.5cm](-0.5,-0.5)(0.5,0.5)
  \psframe[linecolor=blue](-0.5,-0.5)(0.5,0.5)\rput(0,0){0.5cm}
\end{pspicture}%
\textcolor{red}{\rule{5mm}{1pt}}\hspace{1cm}\textcolor{red}{\rule{5mm}{1pt}}%
\begin{pspicture}(-0.5,-0.5)(0.5,0.5)
  \psframe[linecolor=blue](-0.5,-0.5)(0.5,0.5)\rput(0,0){0}
\end{pspicture}%
\textcolor{red}{\rule{5mm}{1pt}}\hspace{1cm}\textcolor{red}{\rule{5mm}{1pt}}%
\begin{pspicture}[shift=-0.5cm](-0.5,-0.5)(0.5,0.5)
  \psframe[linecolor=blue](-0.5,-0.5)(0.5,0.5)\rput(0,0){-0.5cm}
\end{pspicture}%
\textcolor{red}{\rule{5mm}{1pt}}
\end{LTXexample}
\egroup

%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{New arrows}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

\verb+pstricks now contains the missing arrow ends \verb+]-[+ and \verb+)-(+.

\begin{LTXexample}[width=4cm]
\begin{pspicture}(4,3)
  \psset{arrowscale=2,linewidth=1pt}
  \psline{]-[}(4,0)
  \psline{)-(}(0,1)(4,1)
  \psline{)->}(0,2)(4,2)
  \psline{]->>}(0,3)(4,3)
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}

%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{New otions for \texttt{pstricks.sty}}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

\begin{description}
\item[\texttt{noxcolor}] load package \verb+color+ instead of  \verb+xcolor+;
\item[\texttt{plain}] do nothing else as a \CMD{input\{pstricks\}}; 
\item[\texttt{DIA}] a bug fix for the \verb+PSTricks+-export of the garfic program DIA.
\end{description}


%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{New \texttt{pstricks.pro}}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this file now contains the PostScript code for arcs of an ellipse.
