How to use PSTricks in pdfLaTeX?

What is wrong with this code: 

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}

\begin{document}    
\begin{pspicture}(-0.5,0)(2.5,1)
    \psdots(0,0)(2,0)(1,1)
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}

I am trying to compile it with pdflatex, and getting following error:

     ! Undefined control sequence.
<recently read> \c@lor@to@ps 

l.6     \psdots(
             0,0)(2,0)(1,1)
?

    run the document with xelatex and look also at http://tug.org/PSTricks/main.cgi?file=pdf/pdfoutput –  Mar 15 '12 at 20:56

You have to add the option [pdf] to \usepackage{pstricks} for it to work with pdflatex. This would make your code read as follows:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[pdf]{pstricks}

\begin{document}    
\begin{pspicture}(-0.5,0)(2.5,1)
    \psdots(0,0)(2,0)(1,1)
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}

Note that you need to use shell escape with pdflatex for it work. Thus, issue

pdflatex -shell-escape file.tex

to compile.

N.N.
