# `luapstricks` -- A PSTricks backend for LuaTeX

Support PSTricks directly in LuaTeX, without requiring external processes, special environments or similar.

Since recent PSTricks versions load `luapstricks` automatically when LuaLaTeX is used, this does not require changes to the document.
Some advanced features require the `pdfmanagement-testphase` package to be loaded and activated.

## Usage

1. Make sure that you have the latest pstricks version installed.
2. Run `l3build install` *or* copy `luapstricks.lua` from this repository into the directory of your TeX files or another directory in your TeX search path.
3. Compile your document with `lualatex`.
4. Given that most people immediately stop reading after they get a result and you are still here, the previous stage probably failed. Write a bug report to the author. Otherwise go to step 7.
5. Wait for a fix.
6. Go back to step 2 and try again.
7. It worked? That's great. Feel free to inform the author anyway and share the awesome images you created.
