Some basic instructions on how to get started with pstricks

This page could do with some novice instructions on how to get pstricks going.

Something like : 1. get the pstricks.sty file from somewhere, 2. put \usepackage{pstricks} ...

I'm not 100% on how to do that though (hence I'm making this comment :-) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drevicko (talk • contribs) 00:02, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hyperbolic paraboloid plot

Hi,

love the hyperbolic paraboloid plot you uploaded. As I'm in the process of getting to grips with PSTricks myself, I would love to see the source. (How about posting it on the picture's discussion page?)

Thanks in advance! – RetZ 04:51, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]



I couldn't find that one, but got a few similars: Notice these were done using the extrapackage pst-3dplot (not sure if it's stable as of now, it was beta back then) and using parametric coordinates

Ellipsoid

Now, a few nice ones

Sinusoidal wave I don't know why pst-func is there maybe is not needed (cos is a builtin postscript function)
