Drawing trees and figures in the mathematical area of graph theory is a requirement for researchers and teachers. This includes loops, arcs, nodes, and weights for edges. This article aims to get started with PSTricks by keeping two commands in mind, viz. pstree and psmatrix. Using the most useful options of these commands the reader can draw tree diagrams, loops, node labels, and add weights to edges. Once the diagrams are completed they can be added to a TeX file. With a little working knowledge about drawing figures in graph theory the reader can then produce his or her own.
