           Summary: Okular omits pstricks figures in DVI-Files
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.6.5
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: okular-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: Kern.Schatten gmx net


Version:           0.6.5 (using KDE 4.0.5)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
OS:                Linux

Figures created with PSTricks in Latex are not shown if Okular displays the DVI-file directly.

Using dvipdf to convert dvi->pdf and displaying the resulting pdf shows the figure correctly.

Reproduction:
1. Create a simple tex-document:
==================================
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{report}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}(6,6)
  %% Triangle in red:
  \psline[linecolor=red](1,1)(5,1)(1,4)(1,1)
  %% Bezier curve in green:
  \pscurve[linecolor=green,linewidth=2pt,%
    showpoints=true](5,5)(3,2)(4,4)(2,3)
  %% Circle in blue with radius 1:
  \pscircle[linecolor=blue,linestyle=dashed](3,2.5){1}
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}
=====================================

2. compile using latex (e.g. kile: ALT+2)

3. Display DVI-File in Okular -> The page is empty

4. Invoke "dvipdf $whatever$.dvi" from the commandline

5. Display PDF-File in Okular -> Figure is shown.


KDVI was able to show those figure correctly, i think this feature is not only useful but also required für Okular, as long as KDVI is omitted from KDE4.
