<font face="Myriad Pro">Dear list,<br>
<br>
please have a look at the code:<br>
<br>
\documentclass{article}<br>
\usepackage{pst-coil}<br>
\begin{document}<br>
\begin{center}<br>
\begin{pspicture}(-0.5,-1)(10,1)<br>
\pscoil[coilarm=3mm,coilwidth=4mm](0,0.5)(5,0.5)<br>
\pscoil[coilarm=3mm,coilwidth=4mm](0,-0.5)(8.5,-0.5)<br>
\end{pspicture}<br>
\end{center} <br>
\end{document}<br>
<br>
These two coils should be _in physical sense_ identic -- meaning, that
they have the same number of windings.<br>
<br>
Now is there already existing a code/command/macro, that defines the
\pscoil with an option of _number of windings_ and so caclulating the
coilheight parameter?<br>
It would be physically correct to draw a coil -- enlarged or shrinked
-- with the same number of windings. For sure there is a way to
correct that with the _coilheight_.<br>
<br>
Anyone done such a thing already? I guess to remember to have seen such
an approach, however do not remember where.<br>
<br>
Any ideas or solutions already or a link to a solution?<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Juergen<br>
