Being careful with the order in which pstcol is loaded, not loading pstricks (cf. Denis Girou:

    In any case, you have not to load both `pstricks' and `pstcol',
    as pstcol do it, adding an interface between the `color' package and
    PSTricks. And you must load `pst-node' after `pstcol', because `pst-node'
    load `pstricks' if this was not already done...
)

so writing for instance :

 \usepackage[dvips,usenames]{pstcol}
 \usepackage{pst-grad,pst-text,pst-plot,pst-fill,pst-slpe}

I get what I wanted.

Nevertheless, a trouble seems to occur when using package `pstcol' and the environment `table'
(everything is OK
if I don't load the package `pstcol'):

! Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup.
\color at endbox ->\color at endgroup \egroup

l.13 \end{table}

?

Thanks for help!
