pst-plot | Basic Problems

Post by argan »

Hi again

Now I have a different problem with pstricks.

As soon as I attempt to load pst-plot, I get the following error message:

Code: Select all

MiKTeX Problem Report

It also says "the source file could not be opened because the page contains no source links". What does this mean?


Thanks,

pst-plot | Basic Problems

Post by Stefan Kottwitz »

Hi Björn,

for a different problem please start a new topic. This helps us to see the unsolved problems. It's also better for you: I assume more readers, who could answer, look at a new topic instead of opening an old topic with a different but solved problem and scroll down pages to find a new question.

That's why I split the topic from pstricks | Basic Problems and renamed it.

Regarding the problem: can your file be compiled? Is this a message of when compiling, or of the viewer?

Aha, I see. I didn't want to post several topics regarding the same thing, but I will do so next time.

The file can be compiled, and there is no error message in the compiler. This is shown in a dialogue window from the YAP previewer. When I only load pstricks, the figures and everything work fine, but loading pst-plot seems to ruin something, because all the figures disappear, and the text I have placed with \rput, is all put at the same place in what's left. The text and equations doesn't seem to be affected though.

Maybe it's a problem with the viewer then...I tried googling it but didn't find anything.

Thanks, Stefan.

A DVI viewer, such as YAP, may be able to display some embedded postscript images, but not always. In this case obviously not. Check the output with a PostScript viewer or in PDF format.

You can convert it:

dvips filename.dvi
ps2pdf filename.pdf

Or use XeLaTeX for compiling.

Thanks, the error does seem to be in the viewer.
