I used the PSTricks export function of DIA http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/
to create a PSTricks figure. I'd like to use this in combination with pst-pdf.
DIA makes use of \scalebox in its PSTricks output which seems to cause
problems with pst-pdf. I guess the reason for this is that pst-pdf loads the
graphicx package which defines \scalebox itself.
Here's a minimal example that works fine with \usepackage{pstricks} but fails
with \uspackage{pst-pdf}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass{minimal}
%\usepackage{pstricks}
\usepackage{pst-pdf}
\begin{document}
\pspicture(4,1)
\scalebox{4 1}{Test}
\endpspicture
\end{document}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%5
Running it through latex gives:
[...]
! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted).
<to be read again>
1
l.9 \scalebox{4 1}{Test}
?
Can I do something to fix this WITHOUT having to edit the DIA generated
pictures?
