Hi folks,
My previous problem on \psCircleTangents has been fixed after updating the installed TeX Live 2013.
Now I am just curious why the order of <outside point> parameter is differently placed in
\psCircleTangents and \psEllipseTangents.
Current implementation defined the syntax as follows:
* \psCircleTangents(<outside point>)(<circle center>){<circle radius>}
* \psEllipseTangents(<ellipse center>)(<ellipse semi axes>)(<outside point>)
IMHO, it burdens the users as they have to remember this exception
and many other exceptions in PSTricks packages.
I thinks \psEllipseTangents should be implemented as
\psEllipseTangents(<outside point>)(<ellipse center>)(<ellipse semi axes>)
to have the same parameter order as
\psCircleTangents(<outside point>)(<circle center>){<circle radius>}
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
