[Tex/LaTex] Using PSTricks with TeXmaker

pstrickstexmaker

I want to do some drawings using LaTeX. I use TeXmaker. What the commands that I need to set up to start using the PSTricks?

Best Answer

in TeXmaker choose "QuickBuild" (http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/doc.html#SECTION22), which is by default the latex->dvips->ps2pdf route (http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/texmakertop_big.png).

You can change the behaviour with options->Settings->QuickBuild

An alternative you can also run PSTricks documents with xelatex, which should be available by the menu of Texmaker.

To use \pcline and \ncput you must include the pst-node package. Also, the 1 etc. are left from some line numbers in the code example.

A minimal examples, which should work is:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks, pst-node}
\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}(0,0)(5,5)
 \pspolygon(0,0)(4,3)(4,0)
 \pcline[offset=12pt]{|-|}(0,0)(4,3)
 \ncput*[nrot=:U]{Length}
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}

I could solve my problem in an easy way: I just compiled with PDFTeX in order to get the pictures made by pstricks. Then, I edited every single image with Inkscape and, finally, I included them into my book with the figure environment. Thanks for your help.
