I am new to LaTeX and was writing an article with MikTeX. But when I insert a pspicture and compile the file into pdf format, the pspicture just does not show up. But if I compile the file into ps, then the figure, which is an external .png file, goes wrong. Seemingly they just cannot be together 🙁 I googled many solutions and tried to import many different packages but still doesn't work out.
The code is given as below:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[pdf]{pstricks}
\usepackage{pst-sigsys}
\usepackage{auto-pst-pdf}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[ht]
\centering
\begin{pspicture}(-7.5,-2.5)(7.5,.5)
\psset{style=RoundCorners,style=Arrow,gratioWh=1.35}
\pssignal(-7.5,-1){f}{$f(n)$}
\pssignal(7.5,-1){ff}{$\hat{f}(n)$}
\dotnode(-6,-1){dot1}
\pscircleop(6, -1) {oplus}
\newcount\cnt
%--- First and second channels ---
\cnt=-1
\psforeach{\ry}{0,-2}{\advance\cnt by 1\relax
\psfblock(-4.5,\ry){h\the\cnt}{$h_{\the\cnt}(n)$}
\psdsampler(-2,\ry){ds\the\cnt}{2}
\ldotsnode(0,\ry){dots\the\cnt}
\psusampler(2,\ry){us\the\cnt}{2}
\psfblock(4.5,\ry){g\the\cnt}{$g_{\the\cnt}(n)$}}
%--- Connecting blocks ---
\nclist{ncline}{f, dot1}
\nclist{ncline}{oplus, ff}
\nclist{ncline}{h0, ds0, dots0, us0, g0}
\nclist{ncline}{h1, ds1, dots1, us1, g1}
\ncangle[angleA=90, angleB=180]{dot1}{h0}
\ncangle[angleA=-90, angleB=180]{dot1}{h1}
\ncangle[angleB=90]{g0}{oplus}
\ncangle[angleB=-90]{g1}{oplus}
\end{pspicture}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}[ht]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=.5]{./gsample2.png}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
Hope somebody can help me solve the problem. Thanks a lot.
Here I am also giving the log-file. I didn't change the code at all, only passing -escape-shell to compiler.

The code you have compiles as it is. However, if you want to compile the code to PDF, it is easier to use
pdflatex. To usepstrickswithpdflatexyou should use the-shell-escapeoption when compiling your document. Consequently, you should call the compiler like this:And your example shows:
Note that if you are using an IDE to write your document, most of them provide options to customize the way they call each command. You should be able to change it accordingly.
