Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ PSTricks problem with open ellipse

[dubio]

Hello

I'm using JpicEdt, Texniccenter and MiKTeX 2.8 on Win 7 64 bit.

I've already updated my MiKTeX packages and I've installed the newest version of Ghostscript.

My problem is this. I have several pictures made with JpicEdt that contains an open ellipse/circle, I've included a screenshot with an example from JpicEdt.

When I build the file with the picture, the end-start-angles get messed up somehow. See screenshot from pdf.

I've looked through the file generated by JpicEdt, but it looks fine to me.

I've got the \usepackage{pstricks} in the preamble and I've installed the pstricks-add package.

The pictures worked fine before, but after updating MiKTeX and reinstalling Ghostscript they mess up.

Help?!

Kind regards

EDIT: I forgot to mention, I don't get any errors or warnings on any graphics.

I found and fixed the problem myself. In the recent update the \psellipticarc macro was changed. The old behavior can be activated by adding correctAngle=false in your \psset{} commands. This fixes the issue for JpicEdt.

To read more about the new behaviour see http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/graphi ... news10.pdf

Kind regards
