Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Point Plotting Problem

[coachbennett1981]

I am trying to draw a solution to an inequality on a number line. However, when I draw the solution, (x<0), the point does not automatically go to zero. I know I can just mess with the ordered pair until it reaches where I want to, but I am wondering if their is something wrong in my code.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks-add}
\usepackage{pst-func}
\usepackage{pst-tree}
\usepackage{color}



\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\psset{yAxis=false}
\psline[linecolor=blue,arrowinset=0,linewidth=2pt,arrowsize=.1]{<->}(0,0)(-5,0)
\psaxes[subticks=0,tickcolor=red,linecolor=blue,xlabelPos=bottom](0,0)(5,5)(-5,-5)
\psdots*[dotsize=.25,dotstyle=o](0,0)
\end{center}

\end{document}

I am wondering if it is because I am using psaxes. If anyone has suggestions on why I can't get the point directly on 0. Thank you

use the pspicture environment, it kills unwanted glue

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks-add}

\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\begin{pspicture}(-5,-0.5)(5,1)
\psset{yAxis=false}%
\psline[linecolor=blue,arrowinset=0,linewidth=2pt,arrowsize=.1]{<->}(0,0)(-5,0)%
\psaxes[subticks=0,tickcolor=red,linecolor=blue,xlabelPos=bottom](0,0)(5,5)(-5,-5)%
\psdots*[dotsize=.25,dotstyle=o](0,0)
\end{pspicture}
\end{center}

\end{document}

and load pstricks-add as last package -> documentation!

Herbert,

Thank you for the help in this matter... I will take your advice with the pstricks-add at the end of the file. I have a lot to learn..

Again,

Thank you
