Re: Use of PS tricks

Sure ... I realize I can define all the colours I want myself, but that was
not really the point. My question was why do colours defined in PPRautumn.sty
become undefined when I invoke PSTricks myself. It's tedious to redefine
all colours from the autumn style, and I worry also whether something else
more subtle has also changed.

Hi .. Thanks for the interest.

When running LaTeX on the file listed below, I getthe error message:
"PSTricks error !Color `brown' not defined" ("brown" is defined in
PPRautumn.sty). A similar problem occurs with other styles, but not all
(e.g. azure works fine)

Cheers

Hi,

I did the following to get a dark green:

I put a line

\newrgbcolor{dgreen}{.0 .5 .0 }

in my PPR*.sty file. This define the command
\dgreen which can be used in the usual way:
{\dgreen foo} should show a "foo" in dark green.

In order to get the dark green as color in
plain pstricks I added the line

\definecolor{dgreen}{rgb}{.0, .5, .0}

in the preamble of the *.tex file. Then I can
define a line which is dark green:

\ncline[linecolor=dgreen]{Z0}{Z1}

produces a dark green line from node Z0 to Z1.

@Theo: You got a ps-tricks error. That means you
should introduce appropriate \definecolor
commands.

HTH, Henning
