Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Removing a Segment of a Frame

[niles]

Hi

I have the following MWE in PSTricks, showing a rectangle.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[pstricks,border=12pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{pstricks}

\begin{document}
  \begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](5,5)
    \psframe(4,4)
  \end{pspicture}
\end{document}

What I would like to is to remove the part of the right side spanned by the coordinates (4,1) and (4,3). What is the easiest way to achieve this? I could of course just superimpose a white line, but that seems like ... uhm ... not the right way.

Thanks in advance.

The code snippet you put is not even running. Please provide correct code.

The code is running fine, did you remember to run latex or xelatex instead of pdflatex?

Regarding the question, I don't think my first suggestion is very comfortable, but it works (I'm more of a TikZ user). To put a white line above this part of the rectangle you need to know the line width. Or just put another rectangle above it.

Code: Select all

%latex or xelatex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}

\begin{document}
  \begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](5,5)
    \psline(4,3)(4,4)(0,4)(0,0)(4,0)(4,1)
  \end{pspicture}

  \begin{pspicture}
    \psframe(4,4)
    %\psline[linewidth=1pt,linecolor=white](4,1)(4,3)
    \psframe[linecolor=white,fillstyle=solid ](3.8,1)(4.2,3)
  \end{pspicture}
\end{document}
