[pstricks] pstroicks and xelatex

[Patrice MEGRET]

Herbert,

Thanks a lot.

PS: I rarely use xelatex but here the editor wants 'Times New Roman' font and xelatex was the quickest way to really get this font in the pdf file.  If there exists real 'Times new roman' font in Latex, it will solve the problem.


Best regards,

Patrice

Patrice,

the xdvipdfmx program is not complete compatible to dvips.
This is the case for placing objects relativ to nodes.
\pcline defines its coordinates first as internal nodes @@A and @@B. We can use this for a new macro. Maybe that I will write a pstricks-xetex.tex which wioll collect all such stuff.

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{pst-node}
\makeatletter
\def\NCput{\pst at object{NCput}}
\def\NCput at i#1{%
   \begingroup
   \use at par
   \pst at getcoor{@@A}\pst at tempA
   \pst at getcoor{@@B}\pst at tempB
   \if at star\def\next{\rput*}\else\def\next{\rput}\fi
   \next(!
   	  \pst at tempA /yA ED /xA ED
   	  \pst at tempB /yB ED /xB ED
   	  xA xB add 2 div
   	  yA yB add 2 div \tx at UserCoor){#1}
   \endgroup
   \ignorespaces
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}

\begin{pspicture}[showgrid](10,5)
   \pcline{<->}(1,1)(7,1)\ncput{$\Delta y$}%
   \pnode(0,1){A}
   \rput(0,1){\pcline{<->}(1,1)(7,1)\NCput*{$\Delta y$}} \end{pspicture}

\end{document}
