Hello Thomas...
For some time I've been working on a LaTeX-style, which replaces the
graphic-producing picture objects of LaTeX's picture environment
(line, vector, circle, circle* etc.)
This new implementation of the picture environment is based on your
`dvips' TeX-driver for PostScript printers. I thought you might
distribute it with your dvips, as it only works with this specific
driver (it uses your \special variants ! " and ps: )
At the ending of this the entire style is enclosed. A few things
should be said about compability:
linethickness when changing the linehickness this affects not only
the horizontal and vertical lines, but also slanted
ones.
line The restrictions of wich angles you can make lines are
eliminated.
vector As you may now make vectors at any linethickness I've
made a new definition of the vectorhead, so that the
size of vector heads are proportional to the
linethickness.
circle(*) In default LaTeX circles can be only of certain sizes
(as they are predefined as graphics). with pspic you
may make circles at any size.
I see all thiese things as improvements in comparison with the old
style, but you must off course be aware of them while using this style
(especially with old documents).
You may specify a grayscale using the \shade operator, wich takes one
argument, a number from 0-100 setting the percentage of black. The
\scale operator affects all the graphic producing objects.
I've tested this for some time, and there doesn't seem to be any bad
bugs. I will apreciate any response.
