Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Polygons with PSTricks

[coachbennett1981]

I am having difficulty plotting and isoc. triangle in PSTricks. I have found pst-poly, but when I try to graph \PstTriangle I keep getting errors.

Argument of \special@length has an extra }.
<inserted text>
\par
\end{pspicture}

is their an easy way to correct this? I need to draw an equilateral Triangle and some other quads (rhombus, etc).

As always, any input in most appreciated.

Hi,

apparently you are enclosing \PstTriangle inside a pspicture environment. If that's the case, then don't use the pspicture environment. Try something like this:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pst-poly}

\begin{document}

\PstTriangle

\end{document}

you have an too old pstricks version. Update it

Where can I update PStricks? I have gone to the website, but I am unable to figure it out..
