Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Difficulty choosing packages for pstricks

[gibsonsdad]

I am attempting to learn pstricks, and am having some difficulty choosing the correct \usepackage{} commands. I am using TexnicCenter, and have the following preambles

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\pagestyle{myheadings}  \markright{HEADING}
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\usepackage[nocolor]{pstricks}
\usepackage{pst-plot}
\usepackage{auto-pst-pdf}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[total={6.5in,10in},left=1.6in,top=0.5in,includehead, includefoot]{geometry}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{enumerate, multicol, ifthen}
\usepackage{preview}

This allows me to output everything within \begin{environment} and \end{environment} tags, but no text.

I have selected LaTex => PS => PDF as the run environment. I have read the relevant parts of PSTricks by Herbert Voss, but I don't see what I have wrong. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Can you extend that to a compilable minimal example? Just seeing the packakes does not give enough information.

If you compile it, you will see that the pspicture lacks axes. If I include a package that allows the axes to show, none of my text shows. I am using a work around whereby I compile the document as a PS file, open it in GhostGum, and "print" it as a pdf, but there are some formatting changes when I do that. Also, it is time consuming. I could continue to do that, but it would be nice to be able to compile directly to pdf format.

Which is why Johannes asked for a minimal working example (MWE). I believe it should be possible to shorten your code to some 20 lines which reproduces the behaviour. With a MWE it will be much easier to provide help.
