Dynamic Images (PS tricks)

While a process, it is possible to make dynamic images that change based on the different variables displayed in a specific student's problem in TeX and (C & JS). The software used to create these moving items is called PS tricks. We strongly encourage you to build off of a template to get a figure if you want to go this route (alternatively, just upload a static image file <250kb).

This page is a tip of the iceberg primer for PS tricks, with links on where to find more information.

Look for the following signposts in the PS tricks template library:

\pspicture start here. Crops edge of image frames. Anything outside

\endpicture ends the image

Rput rotational puts {degree rotate, optional}

[u] what spot in the word is the point. U=bottom center. t=top. b=bottom

Line * = dot

Psset scaling unit aspect. A bigger number yields a smaller image (column width =250 pts on 2 columns)

Linewidth (x,y)

The lower in the code the command is the more on the surface it is
