Export to TeX PStricks

Export to TeX PStricks

TEX is a sophisticated document typesetting system. The PSTricks TEX packages provide considerable support for PostScript within TeX. This export filter generates a tex file for processing by TEX (although usually L^ATEX, an easier to use macro package written in TEX, is used). To include the diagram in your L^ATEX document you will need to import the pstricks package for L^ATEX and input the actual diagram (as saved in diagram.tex for example:

\include{diagram}

Depending on the version of L^ATEX and PStricks you are using, you may need to uncomment some macro definitions in the diagram file. If L^ATEX gives you the error something like:

! Undefined control sequence. 
<recently read> \setfont

You will need to remove the initial percent sign (L^ATEX's comment command) from the definitions in diagram.tex and it is best to rename the newcommand to providecommand in all three cases (to avoid problems when including more than a single diagram in the one L^ATEX document:

\newcommand{\setlinejoinmode}[1]{}
\newcommand{\setlinecaps}[1]{}
\newcommand{\setfont}[2]{}

All should then work.
