[pstricks] parallel arrows to an oval node

[Denis Girou]

  Looking at the archives of the mailing list for another reason, I see that
I missed this question, which is already nearly one month old...

  This cannot be done automatically. You must adjust the lengths of the
connections with the nodesepA and nodesepB parameters.

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{pst-node}

\pagestyle{empty}

\begin{document}

\begin{psmatrix}[mnode=oval,colsep=5,rowsep=3,
                 fillstyle=solid,fillcolor=yellow]
  [name=Source] Source \\
                       & [name=Target] Target
\end{psmatrix}
\ncline[offset=-0.1,nodesepA=-0.1,nodesepB=0.05]{->}{Source}{Target}
\ncline[offset=0.1,nodesepA=0.05,nodesepB=-0.1]{->}{Source}{Target}

\end{document}

  Give each time a minimal but complete test file, and verify that at least
it compile. Your code was full of basic errors (numbers in variable names and
undefined variables). Thanks.
