10 # with much advice from members of the preview-latex project:
11 # David Kastrup, dak@gnu.org and

16 # This script takes a LaTeX file and generates a collection of
17 # png or ppm image files, one per previewed snippet.
19 # legacy_lyxpreview2bitmap.py 0lyxpreview.tex 128 ppm 000000 faf0e6
21 # This script takes five arguments:
22 # TEXFILE: the name of the .tex file to be converted.
23 # SCALEFACTOR: a scale factor, used to ascertain the resolution of the
24 # generated image which is then passed to gs.
25 # OUTPUTFORMAT: the format of the output bitmap image files.
26 # This particular script can produce only "ppm" format output.
27 # FG_COLOR: the foreground color as a hexadecimal string, eg '000000'.
28 # BG_COLOR: the background color as a hexadecimal string, eg 'faf0e6'.
30 # Decomposing TEXFILE's name as DIR/BASE.tex, this script will,
31 # if executed successfully, leave in DIR:
32 # * a (possibly large) number of image files with names
33 # like BASE[0-9]+.(ppm|png)
34 # * a file BASE.metrics, containing info needed by LyX to position
35 # the images correctly on the screen.
37 # The script uses several external programs and files:
38 # * python 2.4 or later (subprocess module);
39 # * A latex executable;
43 # * pdflatex (optional);
44 # * pnmcrop (optional).
45 # * pdftocairo (optional).
46 # * epstopdf (optional).
48 # preview.sty is part of the preview-latex project

51 # CTAN/support/preview-latex/
53 # What does this script do?
55 # 0) Process command-line arguments
56 # [legacy_conversion_step1]
57 # 1) Call latex to create a DVI file from LaTeX
58 # [legacy_conversion_step2]
59 # 2) Call dvips to create one PS file for each DVI page
60 # [legacy_conversion_step3]
61 # 3) If dvips fails look for PDF and call pdftocairo or gs to produce bitmaps
62 # 4) Otherwise call pdftocairo or gs on each PostScript file to produce bitmaps
63 # [legacy_conversion_pdflatex]
64 # 5) Keep track of pages on which gs failed and pass them to pdflatex
65 # 6) Call pdftocairo or gs on the PDF output from pdflatex to produce bitmaps
66 # 7) Extract and write to file (or return to lyxpreview2bitmap)
67 # metrics from both methods (standard and pdflatex)
69 # The script uses the old dvi->ps->png conversion route,
70 # which is good when using PSTricks, TikZ or other packages involving
71 # PostScript literals (steps 1, 2, 4).
72 # This script also generates bitmaps from PDF created by a call to
73 # lyxpreview2bitmap.py passing "pdflatex" to the CONVERTER parameter
75 # Finally, there's also has a fallback method based on pdflatex, which
76 # is required in certain cases, if hyperref is active for instance,
78 # If possible, dvipng should be used, as it's much faster.
79 # If possible, the script will use pdftocairo instead of gs,
80 # as it's much faster and gives better results.
