General ⇒ PSTRICKS: How to enable grid by default?

pspicture environment set showgrid to false by default.

How to set showgrid to true by default?

I attempted to use the following code, but it did not work.

Code: Select all

\psset{showgrid=true}

My objective is to show grid during development and remove it at the final stage. Any pspicture environments that intentionally/explicitly set showgrid to true will still render the grid even after by default showgrid set to false.

The following code might be useful for you to save time.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}

%for grid style
\newpsstyle{gridstyle}{%
gridcolor=magenta!30,
subgridcolor=yellow!30,
gridlabels=5pt,
gridlabelcolor=red,
gridwidth=0.4pt,
subgridwidth=0.2pt}


\begin{document}

%permanent grid
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid](-2,-2)(2,2)
\pscircle*[fillcolor=red]{1}
\end{pspicture}
\vspace{1cm}


%temporary grid 
\begin{pspicture}(-2,-2)(2,2)
\pscircle*[fillcolor=red]{1}
\end{pspicture}
\vspace{1cm}

\end{document}

Thank you.

Note: scenario in this topic (showing grid at development stage and removing it at final stage by setting showgrid to true by default) will make us save energy by not typing \psGrid again and again (see here http://www.latex-community.org/forum/vi ... =5&t=10377 for the \psGrid trick).

that didn't work, it is a feature, that showgrid must be set as optional
argument of pspicture. This is needed, because you can have nested pspicture
environments.

OK. I will return to the first idea, using \psGrid.

Thank you.
