<font face="Myriad Pro">Hi Patrick,<br>
<br>
another possible approach just came into my mind. Using the
'fp-package'.<br>
Some easy arithmetic operations are possible.<br>
<br>
\documentclass{article}<br>
\usepackage{pstricks,pstricks-add}<br>
\usepackage[nomessages]{fp}<br>
\begin{document}<br>
\def\MyRadius{0.7}<br>
\FPmul{\MyDiameter}{\MyRadius}{2}<br>
\begin{pspicture}(-4,-4)(4,4)<br>
\psset{unit=1cm}<br>
\SpecialCoor<br>
\psline(\MyRadius,0)(\MyDiameter,0)<br>
\end{pspicture}<br>
\end{document}<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Juergen<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
how do I do simple arithmetics in tex and use them in pstricks?
I am thinking along the lines of:
\SpecialCoor%
\def\MyRadius{0.7cm}%
\def\MyDiameter{! \MyRadius 2 mul}%
%
\psline(\MyRadius,0)(\MyDiameter,0)
I know this will not work. I am wondering what the correct approach
would look like...
TIA,
Patrick
