[OS X TeX] scaling in beamer

Thu Jun 16 17:00:30 EDT 2016

Unfortunately I don't use pstricks, so I don't know. Perhaps this would help: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/171666/how-to-resize-easily-a-pstricks-picture

or maybe some pstricks expert can provide more info.

In this case I was treating the whole exposition as a kind of paper (though it is actually going to be a set of slides for a talk, which I intend to generate using beamer). I speculate that maybe the problem is caused by my using the psmatrix environment inside the pspicture, but I hope I can continue to use that because it made the whole process of creating the diagram much, much easier.

My attempt to use \psset{unit=} with a ridiculously small unit size appears to not affect anything about the size of the diagram being produced.
