[pstricks] PSTricks Digest, Vol 214, Issue 3

Tue Feb 9 12:27:48 CET 2021

Sorry I didn't include the log info.

As an experiment I put this small bit of borrowed code at the end of a file
which otherwise compiles OK:

\input pst-text

\newrgbcolor{red!40}{0.4 0 0}% internally defined with xcolor

\newrgbcolor{blue!40}{0 0 0.2}

\pspicture(10,10)

\psCircleText[fillcolor=blue!40, linecolor=red!40,

     fontsize=7mm,font=Helvetica](5,5){Al1 is Fun within the World}%

\endpspicture

\pscircle[linecolor=red](5,5){4cm}%

\pscircle[linecolor=blue](5,5){2cm}

And the log file yields:

[44] (c:/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/tex/generic/pst-text/pst-text.tex
 v1.00, 2006/11/05(tvz,hv))
! Undefined control sequence.
<recently read> \psCircleText

l.192 \psCircleText
                   [fillcolor=blue!40, linecolor=red!40,
?
! Emergency stop.
<recently read> \psCircleText

l.192 \psCircleText
                   [fillcolor=blue!40, linecolor=red!40,
End of file on the terminal!

Output written on v2text.pdf (44 pages).

(The two pscircles at the end output correctly if I comment out the rest of
the code.)

Best wishes

John
