Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ executing command multiple times with different parameters

[Sagil]

The \psdots command from pstricks can take any number of parameters and does something (draws a dot) once for each parameter. I wanted to create a command that does something similar for some other operations (e.g. draw some figure at a given position) once per parameter, i.e. something like

Code: Select all

\myfigs(1,1)(3,7)(4,5)

should draw a predefined figure at positions (1,1), (3,7) and (4,5).

Is there any easy way to do that?

I haven't used it much, but does \multiput solve this problem?

[Sagil]

Unfortunately not, since I don't want the objects put in a straight line. Rather I'd need to specify the coordinates explicitely (like for \psdots).

[...] Rather I'd need to specify the coordinates explicitely (like for \psdots).

This sounds to me like you want to do a scatter plot. The pstricks-add manual shows you how to do that. If I'm wrong, please explain more precisely what you are aiming at.

Works, \rmultiput did the trick!
