Graph a function in TeXStudio

Question

I want to know how do graph a vector field and a function in TeXStudio.

So far, I have tried:

\documentclass[pstricks,border=12pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{pst-plot}
\psset{algebraic,plotpoints=300}

\def\a{2}
\def\x(#1){\a*cos(#1)^3}
\def\y(#1){\a*sin(#1)^3}

\begin{document}
    \begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](-2,-2)(2,2)
    \psparametricplot[linecolor=red]{0}{\psPiTwo}{\x(t)|\y(t)}
    \end{pspicture}
\end{document}

But I got some errors:

Undefined control sequence. ...egin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](-2,-2)(2,2)
Undefined control sequence. ...egin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](-2,-2)(2,2)
Undefined control sequence. ...egin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](-2,-2)(2,2)
Undefined control sequence. ...egin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](-2,-2)(2,2)
Undefined control sequence. ...egin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](-2,-2)(2,2)
Undefined control sequence. ...egin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](-2,-2)(2,2)
Undefined control sequence. ...t[linecolor=red]{0}{\psPiTwo}{\x(t)|\y(t)}
Undefined control sequence. ...t[linecolor=red]{0}{\psPiTwo}{\x(t)|\y(t)}
Undefined control sequence. ...t[linecolor=red]{0}{\psPiTwo}{\x(t)|\y(t)}
Undefined control sequence. ...t[linecolor=red]{0}{\psPiTwo}{\x(t)|\y(t)}

Also, I read this question Easiest way to plot a function with PGF/TikZ and copy each code in a new page. All of them don't work.

Can someone tell me why and how to do in TeXStudio?

Thanks!

@Simple I Have tried the MWE you provided and it worked for me. I am using TeXStudio, TeXLive 2014. Can you give us a little more technnical insight on your distribution and OS. Greetings! — Mauramz, Feb 04 '15 at 03:36
You cannot compile this document with pdflatex; either compile it using xelatex, or use the route latex->dvi->ps->pdf. — Gonzalo Medina, Feb 04 '15 at 03:36
Also, TeXstudio has nothing to do with it; it's just the editor. — Svend Tveskæg, Feb 04 '15 at 03:53
