Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ labeling axes in pstricks

[Mini]

Hello,

Is there a better way to label the x and y axes other than using rput?

ie. is there a better way than doing something like:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[!htb]
    \begin{pspicture}(-5,-5)(10,10)
      \psaxes[linewidth=1.2pt, labels=all]{->}(0,0)(-5,-5)(10,10)
      \pscurve[showpoints=true](-5,-5)(1,0.25)(5,9)(10,10)
      \rput(10,-0.25){$x$}
      \rput(-0.25,10){$y$}
    \end{pspicture}
\end{figure}

Thanks

Please always provide a minimal example.

According to the pst-plot manual (Section 1, p. 10) there is one.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{pst-plot,pstricks-add}

\begin{document}
  \begin{pspicture}(-5,-5)(10,10)
    \psaxes[linewidth=1.2pt, labels=all]{->}(0,0)(-5,-5)(10,10)[$x$,-90][$y$,-180]
    \pscurve[showpoints=true](-5,-5)(1,0.25)(5,9)(10,10)
  \end{pspicture}
\end{document}

the default way is what Thorsten already posted. However, placing
objects to specific horizontal or vertikal lines is easier with
\uput, e.g. \uput[-90](10,0){$x$}
