[pstricks] Tick labels and math mode

[Martin Buchmann]

Alan,

i agree that the labels should be typesetted as math and are not with 
the default pst-plot. But i'm wondering why. For sure, my knowledge 
is way too limited to understand all of the code inside pst-plot.tex. 
But i find a line
'\def\pshlabel#1{$#1$}' in the code, should be line number 601 in the 
source. As far as i undertstand, this should typeset the numerical 
argument of the multido loop as math. Maybe someone can explain me 
what is really happening 8-)

Besides of that i'm not able to compile your example:

! Undefined control sequence.
\pst@@vlabels ->\pst at dimm =\pst at yticksizeC
                                            \advance \pst at dimm by \pslabelsep...
l.59 ...=4,tickstyle=bottom](0,0)(32,16){4in}{2in}
                                                   %

No idea what's wrong here. I couldn't find '\pst at yticksizeC' anywere 
in the loaded packages nor understand why the definition of 
\pst@@hlabels doesn't cause problems. I guess that's not my level 
right now ;-)

I think, i'm using the most recent versions of pstricks related packages...
