At Sage Days 30 we noticed some problems with trying to ``view`` a
graph using pdflatex on Mac OS X. It seems to be related to having
pstricks loaded as part of the default latex preamble:
{{{
! LaTeX Error: You have run the document with pdflatex, but PSTricks
requires latex->dvips->ps2pdf or alternatively the use
of the package `auto-pst-pdf'. Then you can run
`pdflatex -shell-escape <file>' (TeX Live)
or
`pdflatex -enable-write18 <file>' (MikTeX).
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...
l.3 \begin{document}
?
}}}
If you have a Mac, you can test this on the following minimal example.
(I have the latest version of MacTeX installed.)
{{{
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}{\Large\bf SAGE}\end{center}
\end{document}
}}}
This causes the following example to fail:
{{{
sage: g = sage.misc.latex.latex_examples.graph()
sage: latex.add_to_preamble(r"\usepackage{tkz-graph}")
sage: view(g, pdflatex=True, tightpage=True)
...
Latex error
}}}
But it works if we remove pstricks from LATEX_HEADER:
{{{
sage: LATEX_HEADER = sage.misc.latex.LATEX_HEADER
sage: sage.misc.latex.LATEX_HEADER =
LATEX_HEADER.replace(r"\usepackage{pstricks}","")
sage: view(g, pdflatex=True, tightpage=True)
}}}
So, we should remove pstricks from the default
latex preamble.
