Color Extensions With The Xcolor Package - Pstricks Examples

This document provides examples of using color extensions with the xcolor package in LaTeX documents. It includes 5 figures demonstrating techniques like modifying line colors in diagrams, moving between colors, explicitly specifying colors in loops, using color series, and interacting with native PostScript code to display gamma-corrected wavelengths. The examples require packages like pstricks, pst-slpe, multido, pst-fill, and allow customizing colors and diagrams.
