Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ pst-solides3d | Drawing a Pyramid

[svend_tveskaeg]

Hi all.

Consider the pst-solides3d manual. I would like to draw the square pyramid in the top left corner of page 127 with just the lowest (blue) intersecting plane.

I simply cannot get the example to work.

If one would be so kind as to show my the complete LaTeX code that produces the pyramid mentioned, I would be most grateful.

Thank you in advance!

What does that exactly mean? Warnings or even error messages? Be more precise in your problem description. Make sure that the version of the manual where you got this code from corresponds to the installed version of the package on your TeX system.

Errors. My problem is that I do not know what to copy from the manual and how to assemble the code parts I collect.

I have an updated TeX Live installtion.

I hope this explanation suffices.

Since I never used this package, I'd need to read up on it. At the moment I haven't got that time. Perhaps somebody else can help.

Here is a compilable example for you to start:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pst-solides3d}
\begin{document}
\psset{viewpoint=50 20 20 rtp2xyz, Decran=50}
\begin{pspicture*}(-5,-4)(6,9)
\psSolid[object=new,
  sommets=
    0 -2 0 %% 0
    -2 0 0 %% 1
    0 4 0 %% 2
    4 0 0 %% 3
    0 0 5, %% 4
  faces={
    [3 2 1 0]
    [4 0 3]
    [4 3 2]
    [4 2 1]
    [4 1 0]},
  intersectiontype=0,
  intersectionplan={[0 0 1 -1] [0 0 1 -2]},
  intersectionlinewidth=1 2,
  intersectioncolor=(bleu) (rouge),
  plansepare={[0 0 1 -2]},
  name=firstSlice,
  action=draw]
\end{pspicture*}
\end{document}

Output:

Hi Stefan.

Thanks for your help.

If I can get you to show me the code for the entire drawing except the red intersecting plan, I will much appreciate that.

Thank you in advance!

P.S. I know I should be able to modify your example in order to get it myself, but I still cannot figure out what code to copy from the manual.
