iirc, the "standard pstricks" method is the "linewidth" option: \PstPolygon[unit=7.5,PolyNbSides=9,PolyOffset=2,linewidth=2pt] > Also, could someone tell me how to fill the polgon with a colour? again, the pstricks convention is a starred function: \PstPolygon*[unit=7.5,PolyNbSides=9,PolyOffset=2] failing that you could maybe make it a path and then fill the path. see chapter VIII of pst-usr[1-4].ps personally, i'd just use metapost: beginfig(1); numeric sides, radius; path c; sides = 9; % number of sides radius = 2cm; % radius (in TeX units) c = fullcircle scaled radius; % add "rotated 20" to the above line if you want % to rotate the polygon by 20 degrees % change "draw" to "fill" to get a filled polygon draw point 0 of c for i = 1 upto sides-1: -- point (length(c)*i/sides) of c endfor -- cycle; endfig; end; chuck that in poly.mp (or similar) and run: mpost poly.mp && mv poly.1 poly.eps (you've gotta love a language where you can use a for loop in the middle of a statement..) -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
