Math & Science ⇒ Connected Nodes in Matrices

[ghostanime2001]

How do you use \Rnode, \rnode, \rput etc... inside matrices? I want to be able to connect one element to another element in different rows or columns. Also I want to set different styles for those elements. How do I use node connections with matrices? I receive an error.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pst-node}

\begin{document}
  $
    \bordermatrix{%
        & a & b & c \cr
      A & \Rnode{a}{aA} & 0 & 0 \cr
      B & 0 & \Rnode{b}{bB} & 0 \cr
      C & 0 & 0 & \Rnode{c}{cC} \cr
    }
  $
  \ncline{a}{b}
\end{document}

Hi,

i think you have to let latex create the matrix first, then "overpaint" with tikz nodes, something like Alain Matthes' example:

(therefore use tikz matrix environment)

I cannot use pstricks nodes ?

The provided code example works fine for me when compiled via LaTeX→DVI→PS→PDF. ✓

[ghostanime2001]

can you post the code ?

I think Thorsten means the code you posted. I tried it, too, and it worked for me as well, both compiled the way Thorsten mentioned and compilation vie XeLaTeX.

oh I see, I was compiling with pdflatex instead of xelatex. I re-compiled my code with xelatex and I produced the same result.
