I would like to use these or similar ornaments in my LaTeX document. However I use Share Latex (and have no other option since this is a collab project, and its too late to change), and pgfornament doesn't seem to be supported. I get the error:

Latex error: File 'pgfornament.sty' not found

Can I manually add this file. Where do I download it and how do I add it to Share LaTeX?

I've also tried using:

\usepackage{pstricks,psvectorian} Instead.

This does not give an error, so it must have found the file. However, when I try the code provided in the SE answer here or any of the answers here I get an error: Undefined Control Sequence, on any line that includes the \psvectorian[]{}command. And the ornaments do not show up in the compiled document.

So how can I add a range of pre-made ornaments, such as psvectorian or pgfornament to a document made in Share LaTeX?

    There's no pgfornament.sty in TeX Live. – egreg May 16 '15 at 16:57
  • What is TeX Live, and can I add pgfornament.sty to it myself? If not, do you know any alternatives that will work with ShareLaTeX? – Blue7 May 16 '15 at 17:02
  • Aparrently pst-vectorian should form part of my distribution already, as it is shipped with both TeX Live and MiKTeX. So do you know why this package isn't working? – Blue7 May 16 '15 at 17:23

After some fiddling I've found the answer.

Click Menu, then change the compiler from PDFLaTeX to LaTeX or XeLaTeX. This will allow you to use the psvectorian package which includes all of the ornaments (vectorians) in the pgfornament package.

Be warned, this may interfere with other packages in your document.
