Then the LaTeX processor came accross a problem saying " keyval: gradangle undefined". A look at the PSTricks homepage drew my attention on the red remark about the following order of package loading (which I don't quite understand). I played around a little bit with the following order of package loading, and I managed to LateX the file correctly (I think). Another factor is that I have to work together with \TeXtoEPS, for some other reasons.</span></span></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Monaco; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; white-space: normal; ">With the following TeX source:</span></span></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><div>\documentclass{article}</div><div>\usepackage{pst-bar,pst-grad,pstricks}</div><div>\usepackage{pst-eps}</div><div>\begin{document}</div><div>\TeXtoEPS</div><div>\psset{yunit=0.5}% </div><div>\begin{pspicture}(0,-3.5)(10,8)%</div><div>\newpsbarstyle{rG}{fillstyle=gradient,gradangle=0,gradbegin=red,gradend=white}</div><div>\newpsbarstyle{bG}{fillstyle=gradient,gradangle=0,gradbegin=blue,gradend=white}</div><div>\readpsbardata{\data}{proces.csv}% </div><div>\psbarchart[barstyle={rG,bG,green,black},chartstyle=stack,]{\data}% </div><div>\end{pspicture} </div><div>\endTeXtoEPS</div><div>\end{document}</div></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Monaco; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; white-space: normal; ">And the proces.csv containing </span></span></div><div><br></div><div><div>Onderzoek,Begroting,Realisatie,Test,Implementatie,Onderhoud</div><div>0,0.5,3,2,1,0</div><div>2,1,1,1,1,0</div><div>0,1,0.5,1,0,0</div><div>0,0,0,0,0.5,2</div></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>The LaTeX processor works fine.
