Placing Things6.1. Placing and rotating PSTricks objectsSuppose we want to draw a picture like the one given below usingPSTricks:Placing and rotating PSTricks objectsPlacing and rotating T E X objectsPutting labelsCD3 cmA60 ◦ 5 cmTaking A as (0, 0), we can easily specify B as (5, 0) and C as (3; 60). (Remember\SpecialCoor of the last chapter?). Again, by shifting the originto B, by setting origin={-5,0}, we can specify D as (3; 60). And then AB,AC and BD can be drawn with \psline. But how do we draw CD? Recallthat C and D are specified using different coordinate systems.One way out of this difficulty is, instead of trying to join C and D, to shiftthe line AB to the position of BD. The \rput command in PSTricks fills thebill here. Thus the above figure (without the labels) can be drawn thus:\begin{pspicture}(0,0)(6,2.5)\psset{linecolor=Blue}\psline(0,0)(5,0)\SpecialCoor\psline(0,0)(3;60)\rput(3;60){\psline(0,0)(5,0)}\psline[origin={-5,0}](0,0)(3;60)\end{pspicture}Look at the way the \rput command is used. The \psline(0,0)(5,0) isBOnline L A T E X TutorialPart II – GraphicsPSTricksE Krishnan, CV Radhakrishnan and AJ Alexconstitute the graphics tutorial team.Comments and suggestions may be mailed totutorialteam@tug.org.inc○2002, 2003, The Indian T E X Users GroupThis document is generated by PDFT E X withhyperref, pstricks, pdftricks and pdfscreenpackages in an intel PC running GNU/LINUXand is released under LPPLThe Indian T E X Users GroupFloor iii, sjp Buildings, Cotton HillsTrivandrum 695014, indiahttp://www.tug.org.in£ ¡ ¢ ¤ ¥ ¦ © 3/22
