[OS X TeX] scaling in beamer

Thu Jun 16 23:11:57 CEST 2016

I think that the psset{unit=…} command should appear before the \begin{pspicture}. Otherwise the pspicture environment is generated with the previous (default) values.  Unfortunately I cannot test it, since I don’t have all the packages.

In this case I was treating the whole exposition as a kind of paper (though it is actually going to be a set of slides for a talk, which I intend to generate using beamer). I speculate that maybe the problem is caused by my using the psmatrix environment inside the pspicture, but I hope I can continue to use that because it made the whole process of creating the diagram much, much easier.

My attempt to use \psset{unit=} with a ridiculously small unit size appears to not affect anything about the size of the diagram being produced.
