Document Classes ⇒ Looking For Pretty Trick To Draw Resultant Vector (pstricks)

[fractal.generator]

dear all,

I have two vectors, one with magnitude of 3 unit in a direction of 60 degrees north of east. The other vector has magnitude of 2 unit due east.

My objective is to draw the resultant vector without having to do numerical calculation first.

The following is my code snippet:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\bgroup
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](0,0)(4,3)
\SpecialCoor
\psline[linecolor=blue]{->}(3;60)
\psline[linecolor=blue]{->}(2;0)
\psline[origin={2;0},linestyle=dashed,linewidth=0.2pt](3;60)
\psline[origin={3;60},linestyle=dashed,linewidth=0.2pt](2;0)
\end{pspicture}
\egroup
\end{document}

Is there a pretty geometric trick using PSTRICKS to accomplish this task?


regards,


Hayashi

In the documentation of the (preferably to use) pstricks-add package I found an example in Section 21 (\psLNode and \psLCNode, p. 48) that might help.
