Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ PsTricks on Texlive 2016

[sgourmelen]

Hi,

I've just installed TexLive 2016 on my computer and it don't manage tu use PsTricks any more.

I receive the error message

Undefined control sequence
\psline{->}(-.5,0)(3,0)

when compiling with TexWorks under pdfLaTeX the following file :

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{pstricks, pst-plot}
\begin{document}
\psline{->}(-.5,0)(3,0)
\end{document}

Why is this ?

Welcome to the forum!

It seems that you are compiling via pdfLaTeX. PSTricks though requires DVI mode or a driver such as with XeLaTeX. This example runs for me using XeLaTeX, and brings the same error message with pdfLaTeX. The latter is not compatible to PSTricks. So, use XeLaTeX or LaTeX in DVI mode.
