I am wondering how to draw an elliptic arc, but with arrows.
I saw on the archives several answers, but not handling arrows.
So I tried the following thing:
% this works, but the linewidth is not constant (it is stretched by the
rescaling).
% Also, if you add arrows they look very bad (they are probably also
stretched)
\pscustom[linewidth=5mm]{
\scale{0.05 1} \psarc{<->}(0,-5){5}{45}{180}
}
I don't exactly understand what msave and mrestore should do but,
(hoping that I would get the correct thing),
I tried this an this gave a postscript error.
Is this normal ? Does it have a chance to give a correct result ?
%this gives a postscript error
\pscustom[linewidth=5mm]{
\msave \scale{0.05 1} \psarc{<->}(10,-5){5}{45}{180} \mrestore
}
By the way, the following minimal example also gives a postscript error:
%this also gives a postscript error !
\pscustom{\msave \mrestore }
Many thanks,
Vincent.
