Where should we use pstVerb?
I have some constants as well as macros to be defined for PostScript.
pstVerb
{
/a {3} def
/b {2} def
}
There are three possible places:
- In the preamble (A).
- In
documentbut outsidepspicture(B). - In
pspicture(C).
documentclass[border=15pt,pstricks]{standalone}
% A
begin{document}
% B
begin{pspicture}[showgrid](-4,-4)(4,4)
% C
psellipse(0,0)(!a b)
end{pspicture}
end{document}
For option A and B, I got unnecessary white spaces as follows.
But for option C,
documentclass[border=15pt,pstricks]{standalone}
begin{document}
begin{pspicture}[showgrid](-4,-4)(4,4)
pstVerb
{ /a {3} def
/b {2} def
}%
psellipse(0,0)(!a b)
end{pspicture}
end{document}
the white spaces no longer exit.

You can it use where you want, but you have to pay attention that you do not
overwrite existing definitions. /a and /b are already defined in several ways
for internal functions.
Use always variables with at least two letters or use an own dictionary:
documentclass[border=15pt,pstricks]{standalone}
pstVerb{
/aA 3 def
/bB 2 def
}
pstVerb{
/myDict 2 dict def % define a local dictionary with two variables
myDict begin
/a 3 def
/b 2 def
end
}
begin{document}
begin{pspicture}[showgrid](-4,-4)(4,4)
psellipse(0,0)(! myDict begin a b end )
psellipse(0,1)(! aA bB )
end{pspicture}
end{document}
For C it works braces pspicture holds all local.

I was using PSTricks for several years to create many graphics. However, the possibility of a local dictionary is complete new to me. This is very useful to avoid conflicts with internal commands already defined. Thanks!
