A reference as well as a tutorial, this tome provides users with the information to programmatically create high-quality graphics with TeX and LaTeX software and the enhanced PSTricks graphic package as well as hundreds of examples with ready-to-run code for hardcopy or PDF output. From how to draw simple lines on curves to creating three-dimensional images, trees, knots, and charts and adding color gradients and shadows, this manual details how to create graphics via programming rather than interactive drawing. A survey of the realm of LaTeX graphic packages is also included, along with methods for incorporating high-quality graphics in LaTeX documents.

PSTricks: Graphics and PostScript for TeX and LaTeX

UIT Cambridge Ltd.

This comprehensive reference provides power users with a concentrated look at the scope of the software's options and quick access to the program's complex command usage and parameter rules—so vast it is nearly impossible for users to know the syntax of every command. Along with featuring listings of commands and brief descriptions of their respective syntaxes that answer the basic yet critical questions What command should I use? and What parameters do I need? this guide incorporates a handy summary of all LaTeX macros and environments and a convenient graphic resource containing examples of fonts for both plain text and math. Information on main “add-on” packages like array and graphicx, which are so widely used they are part of the de-facto standard system, is also included.
