[Tex/LaTex] When should we use \rput, \nput, and \uput

pstricks

I am writing a short tutorial for my friends about PSTricks. So I have to systematically explain the available macros such as \nput, \rput and \uput (among others) and reduce the possibility of confusion that might happen to my friends.

I am also confused with the naming convention adopted by PSTricks for the macros above. What do n, u, r actually stand for? And what did the author want them to behave specially?

If one macro can be replaced by other macros without much effort, I will suggest the reader to forget it and use the more powerful ones. Remembering many macros (with slightly different feature but replaceable) seem to be difficult for the beginners.

You don't say exactly what layout you want, but here I used \centering to centre the image block in the column, and added a bit of vertical and horizontal space, no special commands or packages are needed here, images can be positioned exactly the same way as letters.

\documentclass[prb,twocolumn,showpacs,preprintnumbers,amsmath,amssymb,float]{revtex4}
%\usepackage{pstricks}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[t]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=3cm]{example-image}\hspace{1cm}%
\includegraphics[width=3cm]{example-image}\\[10pt]
\includegraphics[width=3cm]{example-image}\hspace{1cm}%
\includegraphics[width=3cm]{example-image}
\caption{...}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

If you need to adjust individual figures you can use for example

\raisebox{3pt}{\includegraphics{..}}

to raise it or

\hspace*{3pt}{\includegraphics{..}}\hspace*{-3pt}

to move it to the right.

or any other LaTeX construct (none of the positioning commands are specific to image inclusion).
