How to mark a segment?

Question

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,newcent}
\usepackage{pstricks,pst-eucl}
\usepackage{auto-pst-pdf}
\begin{document}

\begin{pspicture}
\pstGeonode[PosAngle={90,0,-90}](1,2){M_1}(2,1){M_2}(1,0){M_3}
\pstSegmentMark{M_1}{M_2} %%%%\pstSegmentMark
\pstSegmentMark{M_2}{M_3}
\pstSegmentMark{M_3}{M_1}
\end{pspicture}

\begin{pspicture}
\pstGeonode[PosAngle={90,0,-90}](1,2){M_1}(2,1){M_2}(1,0){M_3}
\pstMarkSegment{M_1}{M_2}  %%%%\pstMarkSegment
\pstMarkSegment{M_2}{M_3}
\pstMarkSegment{M_3}{M_1}
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}

The result of compiling :

In pst-eucl documentation (v.1.59), the general syntax is :

But in the latter example, the syntax is :

The default value of is \MarkHashh, not \pstslashh.

Question:

According to the above result, \pstMarkSegment is failed, Should I choose one ?

It is a typo in the documentation. The code beside the examples is always correct. Hence it should be \pstSegmentMark. See also http://comedy.dante.de/~herbert/TeXnik/doc/generic/pst-eucl/

For something like SegmentSymbol=... use the name without the preceeding backslash. However, there also exists the macros with the same name, eg \MarkHash which can be used for other purposes.

The default value is \MarkHashh, not \pstslashh. Can you explain to me about it? – Dec 09 '18 at 06:59
Also a typo. However, the current version is 1.60, you should first update your TeX distribution. – Dec 09 '18 at 07:37

Are you sure??? No change in v1.6 – Dec 09 '18 at 07:53
@chishimotoji: However, I'll upload a 1.60a, which has the correct naming. – Dec 09 '18 at 08:12

I think it is better to replace the last 2 segments (in the given example of the documentation) with \pstSegmentMark[MarkAngle=45,SegmentSymbol=MarkHash]{D}{E} \pstSegmentMark[MarkAngle=30,SegmentSymbol=MarkCross]{E}{A} to illustrate how to use SegmentSymbol and MarkAngle. – Display Name Dec 09 '18 at 08:33

You should consider the following.

Responding to your comment below.

\documentclass[pstricks,border=12pt,12pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{pst-eucl}

\begin{document}
\multido{\i=0+30}{12}{%
\begin{pspicture}(5,5)
    \pstGeonode(0,0){O}(4,4){A}
    \uput[180](A){Angle = $\i^\circ$}
    \pstSegmentMark[SegmentSymbol=MarkHashhh,MarkAngle=\i]{O}{A}
\end{pspicture}}
\end{document}

Can you give me for an example about the parameter SegmentSymbol and the parameter MarkAngle. I don't know. – Dec 09 '18 at 07:59
