usage of module pstricks?

usage of module pstricks?

[Wolfgang Zillig]

Hello,

can anybody give me a minimal example how to use the module m-pstric.tex?

I tried following minimal example:

\usemodule[pstric]

\starttext
 \startPSTRICKS
   \pspicture(0,0)(10,10)
     \dorecurse{10}{\psline(0,0)(\recurselevel,10)}
     \dorecurse{10}{\psline(0,0)(10,\recurselevel)}
   \endpspicture
 \stopPSTRICKS

\stoptext

But this results into a gray shaded box with the following content: 
"name:dummy, file: texweb-texapp.eps, state: unknown"

Thanks

Wolfgang

you can try the attached file (you need to move page-app to the base 
path and regenerate a format)

[this trick was somewhat experimental so ...]

both files were already present on my system. So it seem that I miss 
this "regenerate a format". Which format do I have to generate and how? 
(I'm running context under Miktex and regenerating the standard formats 
is only a click in the Miktex-options menu.

Ah, I see. I will not complain about strange behaviour. Probably it 
would be the best to generate the graphics before I'm using context and 
to include them on the classical way.

i patched the files so they cannot be present as such -)

Sorry, I did not check the files for differences but I've copied them 
into the base folder and regenerated the formats. But I'm not completely 
sure if pstricks is working correctly. I only installed the packages 
with the miktex package manager and that was all. I will try to run an 
example with latex to see if it runs there without an error.
