[pstricks] psmatrix, new arrow type

[Antoine Pairet]

Hi!
I'm a new user of the list and I'd like to receive some help. I defined
a new environment to represent the symmetry of tensors (used in
crystallography for example). The complete code is at the end of the
message. 

Basically, it uses a forloop to generate a psmatrix. Then using \ncnode
I connect several nodes. This works pretty good. However, I'd like to
define a new arrow type: an arrow that ends with a circle with a dot in
its centre. 

\ncline{°-°}{nodeA}{nodeB} would link the 2 nodes by a line ending by
two circles having a dot in their center.

Moreover, I'd like to have some advices concerning the definition of my
\nonZero macro. It must put a dot on a node of the psmatrix. I uses
\ncline[linestyle=none]{*-}{nodeA}{1,1} 
Is there a better method?

And how about having better brackets than with my code?

Thanks a lot,
Antoine
