Re: Problem with PSTricks using MikTex 2.9

Bruce,

I run your command sequence with success. I'm using WinEdt 6.0 and 
MikTex 2.9 too.
The sequence I used is the following
1) in  WinEdt choose LaTex. It compiles your command file and creates a 
.dvi file
2) always in WinEdt, click on the (blue/red) command dvi_ps. A .ps file 
is created
3) open the .ps file clicking on the icon corresponding to GSview (the 
icon with a ghost)
4) GSview shows your figure. Inside GSview follow the sequence: 
file->convert... A Convert window appears. In the Device sub-window 
choose pdfwrite. Choose the Resolution (usually 300 is enough). Then 
press OK and you get your .pdf file.

Best,
Mario
