15 # This script takes a LaTeX file and generates a collection of
16 # png or ppm image files, one per previewed snippet.
19 # * A latex executable;
23 # * pngtoppm (if outputing ppm format images).
25 # preview.sty and dvipng are part of the preview-latex project
26 # http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net/
28 # preview.sty can alternatively be obtained from
29 # CTAN/support/preview-latex/
32 # lyxpreview2bitmap.py png 0lyxpreview.tex 128 000000 faf0e6
34 # This script takes six arguments:
35 # FORMAT: The desired output format. Either 'png' or 'ppm'.
36 # TEXFILE: the name of the .tex file to be converted.
37 # DPI: a scale factor, used to ascertain the resolution of the
38 # generated image which is then passed to gs.
39 # FG_COLOR: the foreground color as a hexadecimal string, eg '000000'.
40 # BG_COLOR: the background color as a hexadecimal string, eg 'faf0e6'.
41 # CONVERTER: the converter (optional). Default is latex.
43 # Decomposing TEXFILE's name as DIR/BASE.tex, this script will,
44 # if executed successfully, leave in DIR:
45 # * a (possibly large) number of image files with names
47 # * a file BASE.metrics, containing info needed by LyX to position
48 # the images correctly on the screen.
50 # What does this script do?
51 # 1) Call latex/pdflatex/xelatex/whatever (CONVERTER parameter)
52 # 2) If the output is a PDF fallback to legacy
53 # 3) Otherwise check each page of the DVI (with dv2dt) looking for
54 # PostScript literals, not well supported by dvipng. Pages
55 # containing them are passed to the legacy method in a new LaTeX file.
56 # 4) Call dvipng on the pages without PS literals
57 # 5) Join metrics info coming from both methods (legacy and dvipng)
58 # and write them to file
60 # dvipng is fast but gives problem in several cases, like with
61 # PSTricks, TikZ and other packages using PostScript literals
62 # for all these cases the legacy route is taken (step 3).
63 # Moreover dvipng can't work with PDF files, so, if the CONVERTER
64 # paramter is pdflatex we have to fallback to legacy route (step 2).
