Public bug reported:
This is a bug I found 2 or 3 years ago but I though that was pstricks related. However, it seems is a bug of evince. I can confirm it in: DISTRIB_RELEASE=11.10 DISTRIB_CODENAME=oneiric DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 11.10" and also in PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux wheezy/sid" NAME="Debian GNU/Linux" I created a latex figure using pstricks to shadow the area under x^2. I used latex + dvips + ps2pdf14 to create the pdf file. Evince does not show the figure properly. evince myfile.pdf => WRONG However, printing the file, from evince: CORRECT evince myfile.ps => CORRECT acroread myfile.pdf => CORRECT I attach the .pdf file that includes: a) the problematic figure: this changes depending the viewer you use. b) screenshots of the same figure with both acroread (left) and evince (right) And this is the .tex file. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \documentclass{article} \usepackage{pstricks-add} \begin{document} \begin{pspicture}(-1,-1)(3,6) \pscustom[algebraic,linestyle=none,fillstyle=hlines, hatchsep=4pt,hatchcolor=blue]{% \psplot{0}{1.5}{x^2} \psline(1.5,0)(0,0) } \psaxes{->}(3,4) \psplot[algebraic]{0}{2}{x^2} \end{pspicture} \end{document} ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you!
