category Package
shortdesc Support for pstricks  in pdftex.
longdesc The psTricks macros cannot be used with pdfTeX, since pstricks
longdesc uses PostScript arithmetic, which isn't part of PDF. This package
longdesc circumvents this limitation so that the extensive facilities
longdesc offered by the powerful psTricks package can be made use of in a
longdesc pdfTeX document. This is done using the shell escape function
longdesc available in recent TeX implementations. [description copied from
longdesc TeX Catalogue]
