\psscalebox fails with babel and the ! parameter of psgraph as in the following example : \documentclass{article} \usepackage[francais]{babel} \usepackage{pstricks-add} \begin{document} \psscalebox{.5}{% \begin{psgraph}(0,0)(-2,-2)(2,2){.5\textwidth}{!} \psplot[algebraic]{-2}{2}{sin(x)} \end{psgraph} } \end{document}
