----------------------------------------------------------------------
Package `pst-ode' defines pstODEsolve for solving initial value problems for
sets of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE) using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg
(RKF45) method with automatic step size adjustment.
The result is stored as a PostScript object and can be plotted later using
macros from other PSTricks packages, such as listplot (pst-plot) and
listplotThreeD (pst-3dplot), or be further processed by user-defined PostScript
procedures. Optionally, the computed state vectors can be written as a table to
a textfile.
