[pstricks] [SOLVED] PST-BAR TROUBLE

[Alan Ristow]

Yes, I am reading these posts, though I have been more or less away from  
the TeX community for the past few years. I am aware that pst-bar has some  
deficiencies, but typically when questions about the package arise on this  
list, somebody else replies with a useful answer before I have a chance  
to. In your particular case, I think you have come upon a particularly  
annoying fundamental limitation of the package.

If I ever revise pst-bar, it will be a ground-up rewrite with eTeX  
extensions that should make it considerably more flexible (and incorporate  
other chart types as well), and I would give such a package a new name. In  
the meantime -- particularly since there is no guarantee I will ever do  
the rewrite -- if anybody is interested in taking over maintenance and  
further development of pst-bar, he or she has my blessing. I will do my  
best to explain the code and assist in the transition to a new maintainer.
