14 # This script takes a LaTeX file and generates a collection of
15 # png or ppm image files, one per previewed snippet.
18 # * python 2.4 or later (subprocess module);
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 --bg=faf0e6 0lyxpreview.tex
34 # This script takes one obligatory argument:
36 # <input file>: The name of the .tex file to be converted.
38 # and these optional arguments:
40 # --png, --ppm: The desired output format. Either 'png' or 'ppm'.
41 # --dpi=<res>: A scale factor, used to ascertain the resolution of the
42 # generated image which is then passed to gs.
43 # --fg=<color>: The foreground color as a hexadecimal string, eg '000000'.
44 # --bg=<color>: The background color as a hexadecimal string, eg 'faf0e6'.
45 # --latex=<exe>: The converter for latex files. Default is latex.
46 # --bibtex=<exe>: The converter for bibtex files. Default is bibtex.
47 # --lilypond: Preprocess through lilypond-book. Default is false.
48 # --lilypond-book=<exe>:
49 # The converter for lytex files. Default is lilypond-book.
51 # -d, --debug Show the output from external commands.
52 # -h, --help Show an help screen and exit.
53 # -v, --verbose Show progress messages.
55 # Decomposing TEXFILE's name as DIR/BASE.tex, this script will,
56 # if executed successfully, leave in DIR:
57 # * a (possibly large) number of image files with names
59 # * a file BASE.metrics, containing info needed by LyX to position
60 # the images correctly on the screen.
62 # What does this script do?
63 # 1) Call latex/pdflatex/xelatex/whatever (CONVERTER parameter)
64 # 2) If the output is a PDF fallback to legacy
65 # 3) Otherwise check each page of the DVI (with dv2dt) looking for
66 # PostScript literals, not well supported by dvipng. Pages
67 # containing them are passed to the legacy method in a new LaTeX file.
68 # 4) Call dvipng on the pages without PS literals
69 # 5) Join metrics info coming from both methods (legacy and dvipng)
70 # and write them to file
72 # dvipng is fast but gives problem in several cases, like with
73 # PSTricks, TikZ and other packages using PostScript literals
74 # for all these cases the legacy route is taken (step 3).
75 # Moreover dvipng can't work with PDF files, so, if the CONVERTER
76 # paramter is pdflatex we have to fallback to legacy route (step 2).
