There are new optional arguments \Lkeyword{monochrome} and \Lkeyword{grayscale} to convert \emph{all} RGB and CMYK colors
into black and white or grayscale. The equations are:

\subsection{RGB to gray}
\[ \text{gray} = 0.07 \text{red} + 0.71 \text{green} + 0.21 \text{blue} \]

\subsection{CMYK to gray}
\begin{align*} 
    c &= c  (1 - k) + k\\
    m &= m  (1 - k) + k\\
    y &= y  (1 - k) + k\\
    r, g, b &= (1 - c), (1 - m), (1 - y)\\
  \text{gray} &= 0.299 r + 0.587 g + 0.114 b
\end{align*}

This change will be global and effects also all other color setting!
See section~\vref{subsec:monochrome} for a local change of the color output.

\section{\texttt{pstricks.tex} (\pstricksFV -- \pstricksFD)}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a new optional argument \Lkeyword{pgffunctions} for the environment \Lenv{pspicture}.
With this option one can force the loading of the special pgf PostScript function
which in some cases are missing, when using the package \LPack{auto-pst-pdf} and another
package which uses pgf macros.

\lstinline|\begin{pspicture}[pgffunctions,...](...)(...)|

\subsection{labelsep}
The \Lkeyword{labelsep} is the first -- optional -- argument of \Lcs{uput}. 
It is now possible to use the PostScript notation for this \emph{length}, eg \verb|{! 45 sin 3 mul}|.
Then the unit which is active when \Lcs{uput} is active is used. With a unit the PS notation
ist not allowed and leads to an error!


\subsection{Customization}

\Lcs{pscustom} now knows the PostScript function \Lcs{reversepath}:

\begin{LTXexample}[width=5cm]
\begin{pspicture}(5,3)
  \pnode(5;30){A}
  \psline(A)(0,0)(5;0)
  \pscustom[fillstyle=vlines]{%
    \psarcAB(A)(0,0)(2,0)
    \reversepath
    \psarcAB(A)(0,0)(4,0)}
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}


\subsection{Coordinates}
\subsubsection{Postscript mode}
A preceeding \verb|!| in coordinates will interpret the following expressing in Postfix notation.
The expression is automatically translated from user into screen coordinates. With a double \verb|!!|
this can be omitted and the Postscript expression will not be translated. This is useful in some
special cases:

\begin{LTXexample}[width=5cm]
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid](2,2)(5,5)
\pscustom{
  \psarc(3,3){1}{0}{90}
  \rmoveto(.5;-90)
  \psarc[liftpen=2](!!CP){.5}{90}{180}}
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}

\verb|CP| is the internal abbreviation for the Postscript function \texttt{currentpoint}.


\subsubsection{Algebraic mode}
Additionally to the special pair of coordinates \verb|(*x f(x))| where $x$ must be a value in
PostScript notation and $f(x)$ in algebraic noatation, there is now a \verb|(**{f(y), y})| 
which is vice versa, $f(y)$ in algebraic and $y$ in PostScript notation. And there is also
a \verb|(+{x}, {f(x)})|, where both expressions must be in algebraic notation and \verb|{x}| must expand to a value
or an expression which uses known system or user defined PostScript functions.


\begin{LTXexample}[width=5cm]
\def\f(#1){#1^2} \def\y{2}
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid](5,5)
\pnode(+{sqrt(Pi),1.5*(sin(x)^2+cos(x)^2)}){A} 
\psdot(A) \psline[arrowscale=1.5]{->}(A)
\psline{->}(*2 {x^2})  \psline{->}(**{y^2} 2)
\psline(1,1)(**{\f(y)} 2.2)(2;45)(*2 {\f(x)})
\psline[linecolor=blue]{->}(+{sqrt(2),\f(x)}) 
\psline[linecolor=blue]{->}(+{sqrt(3)},{\f(x)}) 
\psline(+1,x+0.5)
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}


Important: If the expression contains itself a parenthesis like \verb|)| then the argument must
be inside braces; otherwise \TeX\ will take the first closing parenthesis as clsong delimiter 
for the complete coordinate argument \verb|(...)| which then gives an error.








\subsection{Fillstyle \texttt{dots}}
A fix for the fill style \Lkeyval{dots} to make it work again:

\begin{LTXexample}[width=5cm]
\pspicture(4,3) 
\psframe[fillstyle=dots](4,3) 
\endpspicture 
\end{LTXexample}

\subsection{New macro \nxLcs{psRing}}

\begin{BDef}
\LcsStar{psRing}\OptArgs\Largr{\CAny}\Largb{Inner Radius}\Largb{Outer Radius}
\end{BDef}


\begin{LTXexample}[width=5cm]
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid](4,4)
  \psRing[linecolor=red](2,2){0.3}{0.8}
  \psRing*[opacity=0.5](2,2){1}{2}
\psdot(2,2)
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}

\subsection{New macros \nxLcs{pssetMonochrome}, \nxLcs{pssetGrayscale},  and \nxLcs{psresetColor}}\label{subsec:monochrome}

\begin{BDef}
\Lcs{pssetMonochrome}\\
\Lcs{pssetGrayscale}\\
\Lcs{psresetColor}
\end{BDef}



\begin{LTXexample}[width=5cm]
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid](4,4)
  \pssetMonochrome%
  \psRing[linecolor=red](2,2){0.3}{0.8}
  \psRing*[linecolor=red!30](2,2){1}{2}
\psresetColor%
\psdot[linecolor=red,dotscale=3](2,2)
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}

\begin{LTXexample}[width=5cm]
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid](4,4)
  \pssetGrayscale%
  \psRing[linecolor=red](2,2){0.3}{0.8}
  \psRing*[linecolor=red!30](2,2){1}{2}
\psresetColor%
\psdot[linecolor=red,dotscale=3](2,2)
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}
