Undefined control sequence - \psset
This code, slightly simplified from Werner's, compiles with pdflatex
:
\documentclass[border=4pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{pst-node, pst-plot, auto-pst-pdf}
\newcounter{quadrant}
\begin{document}
\psset{linewidth=1pt, linejoin=1, arrowsize=8pt,unit=0.29cm}
\begin{pspicture}%
\setcounter{quadrant}{0}
% Axes
\psaxes[Dx=5, Dy=5, subticks=5, subticksize=0.5, labelsep=10pt, label]{<->}(0,0)(-14.5,-14.5)(14.5,14.5)[\itshape x-axis, 90][\itshape y-axis, -10]
\psset{linewidth=.4pt}
% Origin
\pnode(0,0){O}
\uput{35pt}[310](O){\rnode{Ot}{\begin{tabular}{c}
$(0,0)$\\[-0.7ex]\itshape origin\end{tabular}}}
\nccurve[angleA=315,angleB=145,arrowsize=4pt,
nodesepA=2pt,nodesepB=-3pt,linecolor=gray]{<-}{O}{Ot}
% Point
\dotnode[dotstyle=*,dotscale=1.2](3,5){P}
\psline[linestyle=dotted,linewidth=.8pt](3,0)(3,5)(0,5)
\uput{2.5pt}[53](3,5){\psscalebox{1.1}{$P(3,5)$}}
% Quadrants
\multido{\I=45+90}{4}{\stepcounter{quadrant}\nput[labelsep=3cm]{\I}{O}{\psscalebox{1.6}\expandafter\textbf{\Roman{quadrant}}}}
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}
You need to compile this with either latex
> dvips
> ps2pdf
or xelatex
:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pst-node,pst-plot}
\begin{document}
\psset{linecolor=black,linewidth=1pt,arrowsize=8pt,unit=0.29cm}
\begin{pspicture}(-15.3,-15.3)(17.4,15.3)
% Axes
\psaxes[Dx=5,Dy=5]{<->}(0,0)(-14.5,-14.5)(14.5,14.5)
\psset{linewidth=.4pt}
\psaxes[Dx=1,Dy=1,labels=none,ticksize=1.5pt](0,0)(-13,-13)(13,13)
\uput{10pt}[0](0,14){\psscalebox{1.25}{\itshape y-axis}}
\uput{10pt}[70](14,0){\psscalebox{1.25}{\itshape x-axis}}
% Origin
\pnode(0,0){O}
\uput{35pt}[310](0,0){\rnode{Ot}{\psscalebox{1.1}{
\vbox{\halign{\hfil#\hfil\cr$(0,0)$\cr\itshape origin\cr}}}}}
\nccurve[angleA=315,angleB=145,arrowsize=4pt,
nodesepA=2pt,nodesepB=-3pt,linecolor=gray]{<-}{O}{Ot}
% Point
\psdots[dotstyle=*,dotscale=1.2](3,5)
\psline[linestyle=dotted,linewidth=.8pt](3,0)(3,5)(0,5)
\uput{2.5pt}[53](3,5){\psscalebox{1.1}{$P(3,5)$}}
% Quadrants
\uput{3cm}[45](0,0){\psscalebox{1.6}{\bfseries I}}
\uput{3cm}[135](0,0){\psscalebox{1.6}{\bfseries II}}
\uput{3cm}[225](0,0){\psscalebox{1.6}{\bfseries III}}
\uput{3cm}[315](0,0){\psscalebox{1.6}{\bfseries IV}}
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}
The issue is, I think, that pst-plot.tex
has been updated to rely on \dimexpr
. This works in a pspicture
in LaTeX, but not with plain TeX. To compile with plain TeX, you need to substitute pst-plot97
for pst-plot
.

I tried compiling using the instructions on the linked page, but I have no idea what skconvert
is or where to get it. In any case, it seems a very circuitous way of going about it. Instead, I used Werner's instructions to convert the DVI to PS and then PDF:
tex Cartesian_coordinates_2D.tex
dvips Cartesian_coordinates_2D.dvi
ps2pdf Cartesian_coordinates_2D.ps
To convert the PDF to SVG, I used
pdf2svg Cartesian_coordinates_2D.pdf Cartesian_coordinates_2D.svg
which produced a result which displayed correctly in Inkscape.
