Chris,
LaTeX works with .eps files for the preview; that's because it
calls dvips. To view .pdf, .png, and .jpg you need to view your
changes with pdflatex.
Hi Rich,
Thanks, but this isn't the problem. I do know that latex
requires .eps, but the error above was being generated by clicking on
the PDF preview icon, which (I believe) calls pdflatex. (And I in
fact tried using an .eps version of my graphic and previewing as
Postscript when I was first trying to diagnose the problem, and had
the same difficulty.)
I'm in the process of composing a followup which I will post in a few
minutes.
