pstricks-add \psComment: please help with syntax

Post by porky_pig_jr »

Hello,

finally decided to learn the features of pstricks-add. Got a problem with \psComment. In particular, with the very last option, [line macro]. As I understand, by default it uses \ncline. So I tried to change it to ncarc, by putting [\ncarc] at the very end, but it gave me the syntax error, "missing options" or something like that. Without that last option it worked fine.

So, for instance, if I write

\psComment(0,0)(1,1){This is a comment}

that works, but

\psComment(0,0)(1,1){This is a comment}[\ncarc]

I'm getting the "missing options" error. There are no examples with that option in pstraicks-add-doc.pdf.

TIA.

Well, never mind. I sent e-mail to pstricks mailing list and got a reply from Herbert Voss. Incidentally, that was a question about *syntax*, not like "something not working as it should", and posting the contents of the whole tex file for the sake of that is rather meaningless.

I would be very kind if you would not withhold this solution from us. Afterwards please mark the topic as solved as described in section 3 of the Board Rules.

Although it's about syntax, a MWE would have clarified the context in which this command is used.
