huh?? The only problem is this line \loadpstrickscolors{colo-rgb}} as mentioned in my mail. Herbert

If we have a postscript interpreter, Is it possible to avoid dvi2ps at all, using only a context mkiv ?

Yes, that could be possible. Herbert

Yes, that could be possible.

It would be interesting (well, at least for me)

to have a "how to" --- if only for a specific pst module known to work with mkiv.

I have done something here

https://foundry.supelec.fr/scm/viewvc.php/trunk/ghostscript/9.15/?root=swigl... using barcode.ps from http://bwipp.terryburton.co.uk/ -- luigi

First of all I had to use Kakuto-san's example, adding something like

\pspicture(0mm,0mm)(30mm,30mm) ... \endpspicture

in front and at the back (which is extremely ugly to see in ConTeXt).

I see, \tikzpicture .. \endtikzpicture looks nicer ;-) Herbert

Well, that also, but in that case it would be \starttikzpicture ... \stoptikzpicture. The pairs \tikzpicture ... \endtikzpicture and \pspicture ... \endpspicture are plain TeX commands.

I would expect from ConTeXt to support

\startpspicture ... \stoppspicture

out of the box (if it supported PST properly).

This is a minor issue that can be easily fixed by a few lines of wrapper code in m-pstricks. pstricks relies on other parts of the tex ecosystem (a tex.pro file IIRC, and some binaries) that are not shipped with ConTeXt standalone. It will be great if MKIV supports pstricks out of the box. There are some very nice pstricks packages that are hard (and time consuming) to replicate. Aditya

The problem is that this is not the only problem ;)

Or at least that didn't solve all the problems for me.

First of all I had to use Kakuto-san's example, adding something like

\pspicture(0mm,0mm)(30mm,30mm) ... \endpspicture

in front and at the back (which is extremely ugly to see in ConTeXt).

So the complete minimal example was:

\usemodule[pstricks] \starttext \startPSTRICKS \pspicture(0mm,0mm)(30mm,30mm) \psline(0,0)(3,3) \endpspicture \stopPSTRICKS \stoptext

However that still doesn't work with TeX Live 2014 even after fixing the issue with mkii in the filename:

! Missing } inserted. <inserted text> } <to be read again> \endgroup \endpspicture ...]\fi \fi \pst@killglue \endgroup \egroup \ifdim \wd \pst@hb... l.12 \endpspicture

According to Kakuto-san it works with the latest ConTeXt, but I need a bit of tweaking to try it out and even if it does users would need to install (at least part of) W32TeX, wait for TLContrib to release a newer version of ConteXt or tweak themselves in order to try it out.

I have downloaded cont-mpd.zip cont-ppc.zip cont-tmf.zip and unzipped them into texmf-dist of my 2014 TL (and rebuilt the formats and ls-R). I have tried mtxrun --script update but it fails with resolvers | tds | no 'texmf-linux-64' under tree '/opt/luatex/texlive/2014/tex' (with a missed newline in my linux box) The example works if one copies colo-rgb.mkii as colo-rgb.tex in the same folder of the example so I guess that we need to find a suitable location for colo-rgb.tex in the tds (I dont know if it's safe to add colo-rgb.tex to the base folder of context, but I suspect it is not) -- luigi
