Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ How to avoid pst-3dplot renders output with wrong position?

[yoyoimut]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to use pst-3dplot. However for the first attempt, I got a bad result. The rendered outputs are not properly positioned as shown below.

pst-3dplot renders outputs with wrong position.

Here is my minimal code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pst-3dplot,lipsum}
\begin{document}

\lipsum[1-2]
%\begin{minipage}{\linewidth}
\bgroup
\psset{unit=1cm}
\begin{pspicture}(-1,-2)(4,2)
\pstThreeDCoor[Alpha=-60,Beta=30,
			linewidth=1pt,
			linecolor=blue,
			IIIDticks,
			IIIDticksize=0.1]
\end{pspicture}
\egroup
%\end{minipage}
\lipsum[1-2]
\end{document}

Thank you in advance.

By enlarging the pspicture interval, the output is well positioned.

Thank myself.

In order to avoid such effects you can use an optional argument for the pspicture environment to check whether you have reserved enough space.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{pst-3dplot,pstricks-add}

\begin{document}
  \begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](-1,-2)(4,2)
    \pstThreeDCoor[%
      Alpha=-60,Beta=30,
      linewidth=1pt,
      linecolor=blue,
      IIIDticks,
      IIIDticksize=0.1
    ]
  \end{pspicture}
\end{document}

The grid helps to compose a picture and shows you if your graphical elements protrude the reserved area.

thanks localghost,

I agree that setting showgrid to true can help us see the reserved canvas.

To avoid improper positioning, we can use the starred version of pspicture.
Any object outside the canvas will not be rendered in the starred version of pspicture.



Thank you.
