The packages pst-circ and pst-3dplot have a macro \ABinterCD, which sets a node at the intersection point of the linear functions which are build through the points A-B and C-D. The coordinates can be drawn easily with the \SpecialCoor feature. This allows to take from nodes/points only one coordinate. For example \psdot(A|B) sets a dot at the point with the x coordinate of A and the y coordinate of B. If we have the intersection point of two linear functions and called E, then we can draw the coordinate lines with 
\psline[linestyle=dashed](E|0,0)(E)(0,0|E)
It is from the point on the x axis (x coordinate from E, y coordinate from (0,0)) to E itself and then to the point of the y axis (x coordinate from (0,0) and y coordinate from E).
\pscustom and \psbezier
to get a filled area colored, use always the first \psbezier curve with four and following ones with with three arguments!

		\pscircle(0,0){1}% clockwise: circle not filled (scale -1 1)!!
	}% The inner of the circle is _not_ inside the path
