Stupid me!—I haven’t done pstricks for a while, and had forgotten this.  Thanks!

Howdy,

Sorry for the top post.

You can't use pstricks directly with pdflatex. Place the line

% !TEX TS-program = latex

at the top of your source file. Then typeset your file using Typeset->Typeset (Cmd-T). This directive tells TeXShop to use latex->dvips->ps2pdf rather than pdflatex. Unfortunately using that typeset sequence only permits inclusion of eps graphics. You might also look into using tikz rather than pstricks.

Good Luck,
Herb Schulz

I want to set up drawing some braid diagrams using pst-node.  I am stymied by the very first step.
According to the Latex Graphics Companion (2nd ed), p. 338, the command
\cnodeput(x,y){name}{object} should put a node at (x,y), labelled “name”, and drawn as the text “object” enclosed in a circle.

I attempted a test using the source code
