[OS X TeX] pst-node

Sun Jun 12 14:23:37 EDT 2016

(I repeat my slap to the forehead—stupid me!)
Related question:  is there a way to use multi do to create a sequence of circle nodes labelled as I had there—that is, a sequence at positions (1,k) labelled Ak, for k=1…7?  (I also made another stupid error: Ak was supposed to be at position (1,k), not (k,1)—not directly relevant to my question, though).

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
