[Tex/LaTex] PSTricks at LyX (via pdflatex)

auto-pst-pdflyxpdftexpstricks

I'm using LyX (at Windows) and I'm trying to get pdf file output while I have PSTricks code (I put as \ERT.
I Try to write at the preamble things like: \usepackage[off]{auto-pst-pdf}
 and \usepackage[pdf]{pstricks}, but it still don't compile to pdf file output. (also ps4pdf doesn't help…).

Can you tell me how can I do it?

Thank you!

Here is the code:

Best Answer

the problem is the missing optional argument -shell-escape for pdflatex. You can add it with Tools->Setup->File->Converter->LaTeX (pdflatex)

enter image description here

Then you need only in the preamble

\usepackage{auto-pst-pdf}
\usepackage{pstricks}

and, of course, but the PSTricks stuff into the pspicture environment:

\begin{pspicture}(-1,-1)(1,1)
\pscircle(0,0){1}
\end{pspicture}

However, using xelatex instead makes it easier, no need for package auto-pst-pdf
