[SLUG] laTeX and a Polygon.

[Bill Bennett <wbennett@nospam.turing.une.edu.au>]

Thanks to the people who offered the advice they did, I can
report that, if anyone wants a 9 sided polygon in red, with a
pale blue filling, suitable for a CD front cover, the following
will suffice:---

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{helvet,pstricks,pstcol,pst-poly,pst-node,multido}
\definecolor{MyRed}{cmyk}{0,0.91,0.87,0}
\definecolor{MyPaleBlue}{cmyk}{0.18,0,0,0.06}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\psset{fillstyle=solid,linewidth=0.67mm}
\PstPolygon[linecolor=MyRed,fillcolor=MyPaleBlue,%
unit=5.5,PolyNbSides=9,PolyOffset=2]
\end{document}

If you are genuinely interested, my advice is to print the
programme out and stick it in The LaTeX Graphics Companion
at page 146. There are a couple of changes that make all the
difference.

Regards,

Bill Bennett.
