Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Possible conflict between fancyhdr and pstricks

[sesquiup]

I am using both fancyhdr and pstricks in the same document. When I write this code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{pspicture,pstricks,fancyhdr}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}

\pagestyle{fancy}

\rhead{\textsf{J. Lee} \\ Fall 2009}
\lhead{NSC Math 381 \\ Class Notes \#1}

\begin{document}

We partition the triangle into four smaller equilateral triangle, where each of the smaller triangles has side length $\frac{1}{2}$, as in this picture:
\begin{center}
\begin{pspicture}(0,0)(10,8.7)
\pstriangle(5,0)(10,8.66025404)
\pstriangle[gangle=180](5,4.33012702)(5,4.33012702)
\uput[0](2.5,0.4){$\frac{1}{2}$}
\uput[0](7.5,0.4){$\frac{1}{2}$}
\end{pspicture}
\end{center}


\end{document}

It comes out fine as a dvi -- then I use dvi2ps, then ghostview to convert to PDF. As a pdf file, the top is shaved off. I've attached the pdf file so you can see what the problem is.

This seems to be a problem with my setup only, as my colleague ran created a perfectly good pdf using the same steps.

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

your code works OK in my system. Add \listfiles as the first line of your code, process the document and search the .log file for the *File List* section. Here's mine:

Compare with yours; perhaps you are using old versions of some packages.

The pspicture package is obsolete and superseded by the pict2e package. But both packages are not needed when using pstricks.
