Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Variations for PSTricks with PDFLaTeX

[svend_tveskaeg]

Hi all.

If I want to compile a document containing pstricks code with the PDFLaTeX typesetting engine, I use the auto-pst-pdf package.
The first question is: Should I load auto-pst-pdf before or after the pst-... packages? (As for now, I load it before and everything seems to be just fine but I am wondering if there are any pitfalls.)

Furthermore, on {TeX} SX, Herbert advices the use of

Code: Select all

\usepackage[pdf]{pstricks}

(instead of auto-pst-pdf, as I use now). However, pdf is not an available option for the pstricks-add package (as far as I know), which I often use instead of pstricks.

Is it possible to load an option similar to pdf when using pstricks-add instead of pstricks?

Thank you in advance!

use

Code: Select all

\usepackage{auto-pst-pdf}
\usepackage[dvipsnames]{pstricks}% not needed when no options for xcolor
\usepackage{pst-...}
\usepackage{pst-...}
\usepackage{pstricks-add}

Only pstricks can have options.
