<p>This program makes PNG and/or GIF graphics from DVI files as obtained
from TeX and its relatives.
</p>
<p>If GIF support is enabled, GIF output is chosen by using the
&lsquo;<samp>dvigif</samp>&rsquo; binary or with the &lsquo;<samp>--gif</samp>&rsquo; option.
</p>

<p>It is intended to produce anti-aliased screen-resolution images as fast
as is possible. The target audience is people who need to generate and
regenerate many images again and again. The primary target is the
preview-latex (X)Emacs package, a package to preview formulas from
within (X)Emacs. Yes, you get to see your formulas in the (X)Emacs
buffer, see <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/preview-latex.html">http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/preview-latex.html</a>.
</p>
<p>Another example is WeBWorK, an internet-based method for delivering
homework problems to students over the internet, giving students
instant feedback as to whether or not their answers are correct, see
<a href="http://webwork.math.rochester.edu">http://webwork.math.rochester.edu</a>.
</p>
<p>A more recent addition to the dvipng-using applications out there is
MediaWiki, the software behind Wikipedia and many other wikis out
there. Dvipng is used to render mathematical formulae from version
1.8.0 of MediaWiki, see <a href="http://www.mediawiki.org">http://www.mediawiki.org</a>.
</p>
<p>Other applications may also benefit, like web applications as latex2html
and WYSIWYG editors like LyX.
</p>

<p>The benefits of &lsquo;<samp>dvipng</samp>&rsquo;/&lsquo;<samp>dvigif</samp>&rsquo; include
</p>
<ul>
<li> Speed. It is a very fast bitmap-rendering code for DVI files, which
makes it suitable for generating large amounts of images on-the-fly,
as needed in preview-latex, WeBWorK and others.

</li><li> It does not read the postamble, so it can be started before TeX
finishes. There is a &lsquo;<samp>--follow</samp>&rsquo; switch that makes dvipng wait at
end-of-file for further output, unless it finds the POST marker that
indicates the end of the DVI.

</li><li> Interactive query of options. dvipng can read options interactively
through stdin, and all options are usable. It is even possible to change
the input file through this interface.

</li><li> Supports PK, VF, PostScript Type1, and TrueType fonts, subfonts (i.e.,
as used in CJK-LaTeX), color specials, and inclusion of PostScript,
PNG, JPEG or GIF images.

</li><li> and more...

</li></ul>

<span id="Prerequisites-1"></span><h3 class="section">2.1 Prerequisites</h3>

<ul>
<li> The GD Graphics Draw library, libgd

<p>The drawing library &lsquo;<samp>libgd</samp>&rsquo; is necessary, and is downloadable at
<a href="https://bitbucket.org/libgd/gd-libgd/downloads">https://bitbucket.org/libgd/gd-libgd/downloads</a>, and there are
binary packages for most operating systems from their respective
distributors. In any case, the library installs using &lsquo;<samp>autoconf</samp>&rsquo; so
it should not be difficult for you to install it from source, and then
proceed with installing dvipng.
</p>
</li><li> The path-searching library kpathsea

<p>Kpathsea is most likely included in your LaTeX installation, but it
may happen that ./configure does not find it; see below. If you do not
have it, download it from <a href="http://www.ctan.org">http://www.ctan.org</a> and compile it.
I have no experience with this, so I cannot help much here.
</p>
</li><li> The font-rendering library FreeType 2

<p>While not strictly necessary, a recent FreeType 2 is recommended since
dvipng currently will produce better-quality images when this library is
available. To take advantage of this, you should have at least FreeType
2.1.9.
</p>
<p>FreeType 2 will enable direct support for PostScript and TrueType fonts,
so that dvipng will not need to generate bitmapped variants on disk of
the TeX fonts since modern TeX distributions include PostScript
versions of them. Then, you can render images at different (and unusual)
resolutions without cluttering the disk with lots of bitmapped fonts.
</p>
<p>Finally, it will enable subfont support in dvipng. That is, if you want
to render CJK-LaTeX characters, you must have FreeType 2 installed.
</p>
</li><li> libpng and libz

<p>To be able to compress and write PNG files to disk, dvipng (or really
libgd) uses libpng which in turn uses libz. These should be available on
any modern system, if not, download them and install them.
</p>
</li><li> The <code>texinfo</code> package

<p>This is needed for building the documentation.
</p></li></ul>

</div>
<span id="Configure-1"></span><h3 class="section">2.2 Configure</h3>

<p>The first step is to configure the source code, telling it where
various files will be.  To do so, run
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">./configure <var>options</var>
</pre></div>

<p>(Note: if you have fetched dvipng from CVS rather than a regular
release, you will have to first generate <samp>./configure</samp> by running
<code>autoconf</code> 2.53 or later.)
</p>
<p>On many machines, you will not need to specify any options, but if
<code>configure</code> cannot determine something on its own, you&rsquo;ll need to
help it out. For a list of the options type
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">./configure --help
</pre></div>

<p>On some machines, the libraries will be installed in directories that
are not in the linker&rsquo;s search path. This will generate an error when
running <samp>./configure</samp>, indicating that it cannot find libgd or
libkpathsea (most likely). You then need to specify the path to the
respective library&rsquo;s object files. They are typically called e.g.,
<samp>libgd.a</samp> or <samp>libgd.so</samp>. If they are located in e.g.,
<samp>/sw/local/lib</samp>, do
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">./configure LDFLAGS=-L/sw/local/lib
</pre></div>

<p>If the library is available as a shared object file (<samp>.so</samp>), the
runtime linker may also need to be told where to find the library,
then use
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">./configure LDFLAGS='-L/sw/local/lib -R/sw/local/lib'
</pre></div>

<p>When either of these is necessary, it is likely that the C header
files are also installed in directories that are not in the C
preprocessor&rsquo;s search path. This will also generate an error when
running <samp>./configure</samp>, indicating that it cannot find e.g.,
<samp>gd.h</samp> or <samp>kpathsea.h</samp> (most likely). You then need to
specify the path to the respective library&rsquo;s C header files. If they
are located in e.g., <samp>/sw/local/include</samp>, do
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/sw/local/include
</pre></div>

<p>On my SUN Solaris workstation, I had to combine this into
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">./configure CPPFLAGS='-I/sw/local/include -I/sw/tex/teTeX/1.0/include'\
    LDFLAGS='-L/sw/local/lib -R/sw/local/lib -L/sw/tex/teTeX/1.0/lib/'
</pre></div>

<span id="Installation-outside-the-texmf-tree-1"></span><h3 class="section">2.4 Installation outside the texmf tree</h3>

<p>In some cases, a dvipng binary installed outside the texmf tree will
not be able to find virtual fonts, or the PostScript font maps
(normally used by dvips). This may be because <em>only</em>
$SELFAUTOLOC, $SELFAUTODIR, and $SELFAUTOPARENT are used in the texmf
tree configuration file &lsquo;<samp>texmf.cnf</samp>&rsquo;. If so, give the switch
&lsquo;<samp>--enable-selfauto-set</samp>&rsquo; to &lsquo;<samp>./configure</samp>&rsquo;. This will make
dvipng adjust these three internally so that kpathsea thinks that
dvipng <em>is</em> installed in the texmf tree.

<span id="Installation-for-non_002dprivileged-users"></span><h3 class="section">2.5 Installation for non-privileged users</h3>

<p>Often people without system administration privileges want to install
software for their private use. In that case you need to specify more
options to the <samp>configure</samp> script, usually this is done by using
the &lsquo;<samp>--prefix</samp>&rsquo; option to the <samp>configure</samp> script, and let it
point to the personal home directory. In that way, resulting binaries
will be installed under the <samp>bin</samp> subdirectory of your home
directory, manual pages under <samp>man</samp> and so on. That way, it is
reasonably easy to maintain a bunch of additional packages, since the
prefix argument is supported by most <samp>configure</samp> scripts.
</p>
<p>You&rsquo;ll have to add something like <samp>/home/myself/bin</samp> to your
<code>PATH</code> shell variable, if it isn&rsquo;t there already, and similarly
set the <code>INFOPATH</code> and <code>MANPATH</code> variables to be able to
access the documentation.

<span id="index-invoking-dvipng"></span>

<p>To use dvipng at its simplest, simply type
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">dvipng foo
</pre></div>

<p>where <samp>foo.dvi</samp> is the output of TeX that you want to convert to
PNG format. If there are four pages in <samp>foo.dvi</samp>, those pages will
be output as <samp>foo1.png</samp>, <samp>foo2.png</samp>, <samp>foo3.png</samp>, and
<samp>foo4.png</samp>, respectively.
</p>
<p>If you have enabled the PostScript font support (via FreeType),
fonts will be rendered as they are needed. Otherwise, dvipng will use
bitmapped (PK) fonts, and if you use PK fonts that have not been used on
your system before, they may be automatically generated; this process
can take a few minutes, so progress reports appear by default. The next
time the same font is used, it will have been saved on disk, so
rendering will go much faster. (If dvipng tries to endlessly generate
the same fonts over and over again, something is wrong. See <a href="https://tug.org/texinfohtml/kpathsea.html#Unable-to-generate-fonts">Unable to
generate fonts</a> in <cite>Kpathsea</cite>.)
</p>
<p>Many options are available (see the next section).  For a brief summary
of available options, just type

<p>Many of the parameterless options listed here can be turned off by
suffixing the option with a zero (&lsquo;<samp>0</samp>&rsquo;); for instance, to turn off
page reversal, use &lsquo;<samp>-r0</samp>&rsquo;.  Such options are marked with a trailing

<dd><span id="index-transparent-border-width"></span>
<span id="index-transparent-border-fallback-color"></span>
<p>Set the pixel width of the transparent border (default 0). Using this
option will make the image edges transparent, but it only affects pixels
with the background color. Giving a <var>color_spec</var> will set the
fallback color, to be used in viewers that cannot handle transparency
(the default is the background color). The color spec should be in
TeX color \special syntax, e.g., &rsquo;rgb 1.0 0.0 0.0&rsquo;. Setting the
fallback color makes the default border width 1 px. See <a href="#Color">Color</a>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>--bdpi <var>num</var></samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-base-resolution_002c-setting"></span>
<p>This option only has an effect when using bitmapped (PK) fonts. The
option sets the base (Metafont) resolution, both horizontal and
vertical, to <var>num</var> dpi (dots per inch). This option is necessary
when manually selecting Metafont mode with the &ndash;mode option (see
below).
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>-bg <var>color_spec</var></samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-background-color-_0028option_0029"></span>
<p>Choose background color for the images. This option will be ignored if
there is a background color \special in the DVI. The color spec should
be in TeX color \special syntax, e.g., &rsquo;rgb 1.0 0.0 0.0&rsquo;. You can
also specify &rsquo;Transparent&rsquo; or &rsquo;transparent&rsquo; which will give you a
transparent background with the normal background as a fallback color. A
capitalized &rsquo;Transparent&rsquo; will give a full-alpha transparency, while an
all-lowercase &rsquo;transparent&rsquo; will give a simple fully transparent
background with non-transparent antialiased pixels. The latter would be
suitable for viewers who cannot cope with a true alpha channel.  GIF
images do not support full alpha transparency, so in case of GIF output,
both variants will use the latter behaviour.  See <a href="#Color">Color</a>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>-d <var>num</var></samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-debugging"></span>
<p>Set the debug flags, showing what dvipng (thinks it) is doing. This will
work unless dvipng has been compiled without the <code>DEBUG</code> option
(not recommended). Set the flags as you need them, use &lsquo;<samp>-d -1</samp>&rsquo; as
the first option for maximum output. See <a href="#Debug-options">Debug options</a>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>-D <var>num</var></samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-output-resolution_002c-setting"></span>
<p>Set the output resolution, both horizontal and vertical, to <var>num</var>
dpi (dots per inch).
</p>
<p>One may want to adjust this to fit a certain text font size (e.g., on
a web page), and for a text font height of <var>font_px</var> pixels (in
Mozilla) the correct formula is
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example"><var>dpi</var> = <var>font_px</var> * 72.27 / 10 [px * TeXpt/in / TeXpt]
</pre></div>
<p>The last division by ten is due to the standard font height 10pt in
your document, if you use 12pt, divide by 12. Unfortunately, some
proprietary browsers have font height in pt (points), not pixels. You
have to rescale that to pixels, using the screen resolution (default
is usually 96 dpi) which means the formula is
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example"><var>font_px</var> = <var>font_pt</var> * 96 / 72 [pt * px/in / (pt/in)]
</pre></div>
<p>On some high-res screens, the value is instead 120 dpi. Good luck!
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>--depth*</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-baseline-reporting"></span>
<span id="index-depth-reporting"></span>
<p>Report the depth of the image. This only works reliably when the
LaTeX style <samp>preview.sty</samp> from preview-latex is used with
the &lsquo;<samp>active</samp>&rsquo; option. It reports the number of pixels from the
bottom of the image to the baseline of the image. This can be used for
vertical positioning of the image in, e.g., web documents, where one
would use (Cascading StyleSheets 1)
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">&lt;IMG SRC=&quot;<var>filename.png</var>&quot; STYLE=&quot;vertical-align: -<var>depth</var>px&quot;&gt;
</pre></div>
<p>The depth is a negative offset in this case, so the minus sign is
necessary, and the unit is pixels (px).
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>--dvinum*</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Set this option to make the output page number be the TeX page
numbers rather than the physical page number. See the &lsquo;<samp>-o</samp>&rsquo; switch.
</p>

</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>-fg <var>color_spec</var></samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-foreground-color-_0028option_0029"></span>
<p>Choose foreground color for the images. This option will be ignored if
there is a foreground color \special in the DVI. The color spec should
be in TeX color \special syntax, e.g., &rsquo;rgb 1.0 0.0 0.0&rsquo;.
See <a href="#Color">Color</a>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>--follow*</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-follow-mode"></span>
<p>Wait for data at end-of-file. One of the benefits of dvipng is that it
does not read the postamble, so it can be started before TeX
finishes. This switch makes dvipng wait at end-of-file for further
output, unless it finds the POST marker that indicates the end of the
DVI. This is similar to &lsquo;<samp>tail -f</samp>&rsquo; but for DVI-to-PNG conversion.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>--freetype*</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-FreeType-font-rendering"></span>
<p>Enable/disable FreeType font rendering (default on). This option is
available if the FreeType2 font library was present at compilation time.
If this is the case, dvipng will have direct support for PostScript
Type1 and TrueType fonts internally, rather than using &lsquo;<samp>gsftopk</samp>&rsquo;
for rendering the fonts. If you have PostScript versions of Computer
Modern installed, there will be no need to generate bitmapped (PK)
variants on disk of these. Then, you can render images at different (and
unusual) resolutions without cluttering the disk with lots of bitmapped
fonts. 
One reason to disable FreeType font rendering would be to generate 
identical output on different platforms, since FreeType uses the native 
renderer and therefore can give slightly different output on each platform.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>--gamma <var>num</var></samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-gamma"></span>
<span id="index-dark-fonts"></span>
<span id="index-light-fonts"></span>
<span id="index-fuzzy-images"></span>
<p>Control the interpolation of colors in the greyscale anti-aliasing
color palette.  Default value is 1.0.  For 0 &lt; <var>num</var> &lt; 1, the
fonts will be lighter (more like the background), and for <var>num</var> &gt;
1, the fonts will be darker (more like the foreground).
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>--gif*</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-GIF-image-format"></span>
<p>The images are output in the GIF format, if GIF support is enabled.
This is the default for the &lsquo;<samp>dvigif</samp>&rsquo; binary, which only will be
available when GIF support is enabled. GIF images are palette images
(see the &lsquo;<samp>--palette</samp>&rsquo; option) and does not support true alpha
channels (see the &lsquo;<samp>--bg</samp>&rsquo; option). See also the &lsquo;<samp>--png</samp>&rsquo;
option.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>--height*</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-baseline-reporting-1"></span>
<span id="index-height-reporting"></span>
<p>Report the height of the image. This only works reliably when the
LaTeX style <samp>preview.sty</samp> from preview-latex is used with
the &lsquo;<samp>active</samp>&rsquo; option. It reports the number of pixels from the top
of the image to the baseline of the image. The total height of the
image is obtained as the sum of the values reported from
&lsquo;<samp>--height</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>--depth</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>-l [=]<var>num</var></samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-last-page-printed"></span>
<span id="index-page_002c-last-printed"></span>
<span id="index-physical-page-number_002c-and-_002dl"></span>
<span id="index-absolute-page-number_002c-and-_002dl"></span>
<p>The last page printed will be the first one numbered <var>num</var>. Default
is the last page in the document.  If <var>num</var> is prefixed by an equals
sign, then it (and the argument to the &lsquo;<samp>-p</samp>&rsquo; option, if specified)
is treated as a physical (absolute) page number, rather than a value to
compare with the TeX &lsquo;<samp>\count0</samp>&rsquo; values stored in the DVI file.
Thus, using &lsquo;<samp>-l =9</samp>&rsquo; will end with the ninth page of the document,
no matter what the pages are actually numbered.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>--mode <var>mode</var></samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-mode-name_002c-specifying"></span>
<span id="index-Metafont-mode_002c-specifying"></span>
<p>This option only has an effect when using bitmapped (PK) fonts. Use
<var>mode</var> as the Metafont device name for the PK fonts (both for path
searching and font generation). This needs to be augmented with the base
device resolution, given with the &lsquo;<samp>--bdpi</samp>&rsquo; option. See the file
<a href="ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/modes.mf">ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/modes.mf</a> for a list of resolutions and mode
names for most devices. See <a href="https://tug.org/texinfohtml/kpathsea.html#Unable-to-generate-fonts">Unable to generate fonts</a> in <cite>Kpathsea</cite>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>-M*</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-font-generation_002c-avoiding"></span>
<span id="index-mktexpk_002c-avoiding"></span>
<p>This option only has an effect when using bitmapped (PK) fonts. It turns
off automatic PK font generation (<samp>mktexpk</samp>).
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>--nogs*</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-GhostScript_002c-turning-off"></span>
<p>This switch prohibits the internal call to GhostScript for displaying
PostScript specials. &lsquo;<samp>--nogs0</samp>&rsquo; turns the call back on.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>--nogssafer*</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-GhostScript-and-_002ddSAFER"></span>
<span id="index-_002ddSAFER"></span>
<p>Normally, if GhostScript is used to render PostScript specials, the
GhostScript interpreter is run with the option &lsquo;<samp>-dSAFER</samp>&rsquo;. The
&lsquo;<samp>--nogssafer</samp>&rsquo; option runs GhostScript without &lsquo;<samp>-dSAFER</samp>&rsquo;. The
&lsquo;<samp>-dSAFER</samp>&rsquo; option in Ghostscript disables PostScript operators such
as deletefile, to prevent possibly malicious PostScript programs from
having any effect.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>--norawps*</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-PostScript_002c-turning-off-raw-PostScript-specials"></span>
<p>Some packages generate raw PostScript specials, even non-rendering such
specials.  This switch turns off the internal call to GhostScript
intended to display these raw PostScript specials. &lsquo;<samp>--norawps0</samp>&rsquo;
turns the call back on.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>-o <var>name</var></samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-output_002c-redirecting"></span>
<span id="index-standard-output_002c-output-to"></span>
<p>Send output to the file <var>name</var>. A single occurrence of &lsquo;<samp>%d</samp>&rsquo; or
&lsquo;<samp>%01d</samp>&rsquo;, &hellip;, &lsquo;<samp>%09d</samp>&rsquo; will be exchanged for the physical
page number (this can be changed, see the &lsquo;<samp>--dvinum</samp>&rsquo; switch). The
default output filename is &lsquo;<samp><var>file</var>%d.png</samp>&rsquo; where the input DVI
file was &lsquo;<samp><var>file</var>.dvi</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>-O <var>x-offset</var>,<var>y-offset</var></samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-offset-pages"></span>
<p>Move the origin by <var>x-offset</var>,<var>y-offset</var>, a comma-separated
pair of dimensions such as &lsquo;<samp>.1in,-.3cm</samp>&rsquo;.
The origin of the page is shifted from the default position
(of one inch down, one inch to the right from the upper left corner of
the paper) by this amount.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>-p [=]<var>num</var></samp>&rsquo;</dt>

<span id="index-physical-page-number_002c-and-_002dp"></span>
<span id="index-absolute-page-number_002c-and-_002dp"></span>
<p>The first page printed will be the first one numbered <var>num</var>. Default
is the first page in the document.  If <var>num</var> is prefixed by an
equals sign, then it (and the argument to the &lsquo;<samp>-l</samp>&rsquo; option, if
specified) is treated as a physical (absolute) page number, rather than
a value to compare with the TeX &lsquo;<samp>\count0</samp>&rsquo; values stored in the
DVI file.  Thus, using &lsquo;<samp>-p =3</samp>&rsquo; will start with the third page of
the document, no matter what the pages are actually numbered.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>--palette*</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-forcing-palette-output"></span>
<p>When an external image is included, &lsquo;<samp>dvipng</samp>&rsquo; will automatically
switch to truecolor mode, to avoid unnecessary delay and quality
reduction, and enable the EPS translator to draw on a transparent
background and outside of the boundingbox. This switch will force
palette (256-color) output and make &lsquo;<samp>dvipng</samp>&rsquo; revert to opaque
clipped image inclusion. This will also override the &lsquo;<samp>--truecolor</samp>&rsquo;
switch if present.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>--picky*</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-no-erroneous-images"></span>
<p>No images are output when a warning occurs. Normally, dvipng will
output an image in spite of a warning, but there may be something
missing in this image. One reason to use this option would be if you
have a more complete but slower fallback converter. Mainly, this is
useful for failed figure inclusion and unknown \special occurrences,
but warnings will also occur for missing or unknown color specs and
missing PK fonts.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>--png*</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-PNG-image-format"></span>
<p>The images are output in the PNG format. This is the default for the
&lsquo;<samp>dvipng</samp>&rsquo; binary. See also the &lsquo;<samp>--gif</samp>&rsquo; option.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>-pp <var>firstpage</var>-<var>lastpage</var></samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-page-range"></span>
<p>Print pages <var>firstpage</var> through <var>lastpage</var>; but not quite
equivalent to &lsquo;<samp>-p <var>firstpage</var> -l <var>lastpage</var></samp>&rsquo;. For example,
when rendering a book, there may be several instances of a page in the
DVI file (one in <code>\frontmatter</code>, one in <code>\mainmatter</code>, and one
in <code>\backmatter</code>). In case of several pages matching, &lsquo;<samp>-pp
<var>firstpage</var>-<var>lastpage</var></samp>&rsquo; will render <em>all</em> pages that
matches the specified range, while &lsquo;<samp>-p <var>firstpage</var> -l
<var>lastpage</var></samp>&rsquo; will render the pages from the <em>first</em> occurrence
of <var>firstpage</var> to the <em>first</em> occurrence of <var>lastpage</var>.
This is the (undocumented) behaviour of dvips. In dvipng you can give
both kinds of options, in which case you get all pages that matches the
range in &lsquo;<samp>-pp</samp>&rsquo; between the pages from &lsquo;<samp>-p</samp>&rsquo; to &lsquo;<samp>-l</samp>&rsquo;. Also
multiple &lsquo;<samp>-pp</samp>&rsquo; options accumulate, unlike &lsquo;<samp>-p</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>-l</samp>&rsquo;.
The &lsquo;<samp>-</samp>&rsquo; separator can also be &lsquo;<samp>:</samp>&rsquo;. Note that &lsquo;<samp>-pp -1</samp>&rsquo;
will be interpreted as &quot;all pages up to and including 1&quot;, if you want a
page numbered -1 (only the table of contents, say) put &lsquo;<samp>-pp -1--1</samp>&rsquo;,
or more readable, &lsquo;<samp>-pp -1:-1</samp>&rsquo;.

<p>Run quietly.  Don&rsquo;t chatter about pages converted, etc. to standard

<dt>&lsquo;<samp>-Q <var>num</var></samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-antialiasing-levels_002c-number-of"></span>
<span id="index-quality"></span>
<p>Set the quality to <var>num</var>. That is, choose the number of antialiasing
levels for bitmapped fonts (PK), to be
<var>num</var>*<var>num</var>+1. The default value is 4 which gives 17 levels of
antialiasing for antialiased fonts from these two. If FreeType is
available, its rendering is unaffected by this option.

<dd><span id="index-exit-on-erroneous-images"></span>
<p>The program exits when a warning occurs. Normally, dvipng will output
an image in spite of a warning, but there may be something missing in
this image. One reason to use this option would be if you have a more
complete but slower fallback converter. See the &lsquo;<samp>--picky</samp>&rsquo; option
above for a list of when warnings occur.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>-T <var>image_size</var></samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Set the image size to <var>image_size</var> which can be either of
&lsquo;<samp>bbox</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>tight</samp>&rsquo;, or a comma-separated pair of dimensions
<var>hsize</var>,<var>vsize</var> such as &lsquo;<samp>.1in,.3cm</samp>&rsquo;. The default is
&lsquo;<samp>bbox</samp>&rsquo; which produces a PNG that includes all ink put on the page
and in addition the DVI origin, located 1in from the top and 1in from
the left edge of the paper. This usually gives whitespace above and to
the left in the produced image. The value &lsquo;<samp>tight</samp>&rsquo; will make dvipng
only include all ink put on the page, producing neat images.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>--truecolor*</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-truecolor-output"></span>
<p>This will make &lsquo;<samp>dvipng</samp>&rsquo; generate truecolor output. Note that
truecolor output is automatic if you include an external image in your
DVI, e.g., via a PostScript special (i.e., the &lsquo;<samp>graphics</samp>&rsquo; or
&lsquo;<samp>graphicx</samp>&rsquo; package). This switch is overridden by the
&lsquo;<samp>--palette</samp>&rsquo; switch.

</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>-x <var>num</var></samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-magnification_002c-overriding-DVI"></span>
<p>This option is deprecated; it should not be used. It is much better to
select the output resolution directly with the &lsquo;<samp>-D</samp>&rsquo; option. This
option sets the magnification ratio to <em><var>num</var>/1000</em> and
overrides the magnification specified in the DVI file.  Must be between
10 and 100000.  It is recommended that you use standard magstep values
(1095, 1200, 1440, 1728, 2074, 2488, 2986, and so on) to help reduce the
total number of PK files generated.  <var>num</var> may be a real number, not
an integer, for increased precision.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>-z <var>num</var></samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><span id="index-compression"></span>
<p>Set the PNG compression level to <var>num</var>. This option is enabled if
your &lsquo;<samp>libgd</samp>&rsquo; is new enough. The default compression level is 1,
which selects maximum speed at the price of slightly larger PNGs. For an
older &lsquo;<samp>libgd</samp>&rsquo;, the hard-soldered value 5 is used. The include file
&lsquo;<samp>png.h</samp>&rsquo; says
</p><blockquote>
<p>Currently, valid values range from 0 - 9, corresponding directly to the
zlib compression levels 0 - 9 (0 - no compression, 9 - &quot;maximal&quot;
compression). Note that tests have shown that zlib compression levels
3-6 usually perform as well as level 9 for PNG images, and do
considerably fewer calculations. In the future, these values may not
correspond directly to the zlib compression levels.

<p>&lsquo;<samp>dvipng</samp>&rsquo; attempts to handle graphics as included by the
&lsquo;<samp>graphicx</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>graphics</samp>&rsquo; packages, without the need of
specifying a driver to these packages. This means that it recognizes
the encapsulated postscript inclusion meant for &lsquo;<samp>dvips</samp>&rsquo;, but is
also able (from version 1.8) to include bitmapped graphics. It also
tries to handle some of the raw PostScript that is output from various
packages. Some of the possibilities and problems are mentioned below.

<span id="Encapsulated-PostScript-1"></span><h3 class="section">5.1 Encapsulated PostScript</h3>

<p>When an EPS file is included, a call to GhostScript is performed to
produce a bitmapped image that can be included. The default is to
produce an image with transparent background, at the same size as the
DVI page currently being converted to PNG, and include that as
foreground on the PNG. Of course, if the image is to be cropped, that
is done. The included image will be a truecolor image, so for maximum
performance the output PNG will be in truecolor mode as well.
</p>
<p>This conversion needs the &lsquo;<samp>pngalpha</samp>&rsquo; output device to be present
in your copy of GhostScript. If that device is not present, or you use
the &lsquo;<samp>--palette</samp>&rsquo; switch or request GIF output, the fallback is to
use the &lsquo;<samp>png16m</samp>&rsquo; device to produce a cropped opaque image for
inclusion. Other relevant switches are &lsquo;<samp>--noghostscript</samp>&rsquo; and
&lsquo;<samp>--nogssafer</samp>&rsquo;. See <a href="#Option-details">Option details</a>.
</p>
<span id="index-PostScript-inclusion-problems"></span>
<p>The most common problem with including graphics is an incorrect
bounding box. Complain to whoever wrote the software that generated
the file if the bounding box is indeed incorrect. An adjusted
boundingbox can be specified in the &lsquo;<samp>\includegraphics</samp>&rsquo; call, as
in this example (using &lsquo;<samp>graphicx</samp>&rsquo;):
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">\includegraphics[bb=10 20 100 200]{imagename.eps}

</div>
<span id="Bitmapped-graphics-1"></span><h3 class="section">5.2 Bitmapped graphics</h3>

<p>dvipng can include PNG, JPEG and GIF graphics. When including such
images via &lsquo;<samp>\includegraphics</samp>&rsquo; you need to specify the bounding
box since TeX itself cannot read them from the files in question.
The bounding box size should be given as &lsquo;<samp>0 0 w h</samp>&rsquo; in pixels,
e.g., if the file &lsquo;<samp>imagename.png</samp>&rsquo; is 300x400 pixels, the
inclusion would read
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">\includegraphics[bb=0 0 300 400]{imagename.png}
</pre></div>

<p>The default size is the image size in bp (&ldquo;big points&rdquo; in TeX
nomenclature or PostScript points as other people have it, 72 per inch).
That is, default resolution will be 72 dpi for included bitmaps, which
is the default size in the few other bitmap-capable drivers that are
known to me (dvipdfm and PDFLaTeX).
</p>
<p>If you want 100 dpi you need to specify the width accordingly. You
just divide your image width by 100: a 135 pixel wide image at 100 dpi
will take up 1.35 inches. If you want 200 dpi you divide by 200, and
so on. Simple, eh? The example above at 200 dpi would be 1.5 inches
wide:

<span id="Raw-PostScript-1"></span><h3 class="section">5.3 Raw PostScript</h3>

<p>dvipng attempts to handle raw PostScript. Rendering raw PostScript
specials is done on top of the page by including a transparent image
generated by the &lsquo;<samp>pngalpha</samp>&rsquo; device in GhostScript (automatically
selecting &lsquo;<samp>truecolor</samp>&rsquo; mode in dvipng).
</p>
<p>Included PostScript headers are respected, and if the header
&lsquo;<samp>tex.pro</samp>&rsquo; is included, dvipng also throws in &lsquo;<samp>color.pro</samp>&rsquo; and
&lsquo;<samp>special.pro</samp>&rsquo;. The package &lsquo;<samp>xcolor</samp>&rsquo; includes its own headers
with color names, and this is not only kept as a PostScript header, but
is also read and interpreted by dvipng itself. An attempt is also made
to respect the PGF header. The non-rendering specials from
&lsquo;<samp>hyperref</samp>&rsquo; are handled via some heuristics and do not give an
error.
</p>
<p>Really rendering and moving things with raw PostScript specials is more
troublesome. The \rotatebox macro serves as a good example. The dvips
driver of the graphicx package surrounds DVI glyphs with PostScript code
so that after conversion by dvips, the glyphs (now themselves in
PostScript) will be rotated in the desired way. dvipng does not handle
this, at present. An attempt has been made to handle the rendering
specials output by PGF (tikz), and also PSTricks. Some things work, but
others do not.  This is especially clear when mixing PostScript and DVI
rendering commands such as glyphs. dvipng cannot at present detect if
PostScript code moves &lsquo;<samp>currentpoint</samp>&rsquo; or rotates the frame since
GhostScript does not return such information. A recommendation would be
to produce images from these packages as EPS files and include them into
your document in the standard manner.
</p>
<p>Another way to handle this would be to use a slower fallback (with dvips
and gs, for example). If you want to disable raw PostScript handling in
dvipng, use the switch &lsquo;<samp>--norawps</samp>&rsquo;.  This switch turns off the
internal call to GhostScript intended to display these raw PostScript
specials. Further, when dvipng encounters raw PostScript and the gs call
is turned off, it gives a warning. It is now possible to use the switch
&lsquo;<samp>--picky</samp>&rsquo; to disable page rendering of pages with warnings, and use
the slower fallback for these pages.

<p>To support color, dvipng recognizes a certain set of specials as
generated by the &lsquo;<samp>color</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>xcolor</samp>&rsquo; style files. These
specials start with the keyword &lsquo;<samp>color</samp>&rsquo; or the keyword
&lsquo;<samp>background</samp>&rsquo;, followed by a color specification.

<span id="Color-specifications-1"></span><h3 class="section">6.1 Color specifications</h3>

<span id="index-color-specifications"></span>

<p>The color specification supported by dvipng is by-value or by-name. The
by-value spec starts with the name of a color model (one of &lsquo;<samp>rgb</samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp>hsb</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>cmy</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>cmyk</samp>&rsquo;, or &lsquo;<samp>gray</samp>&rsquo;) followed by the
appropriate number of parameters. Thus, the color specification
&lsquo;<samp>rgb 0.3 0.4 0.5</samp>&rsquo; would correspond to the color that is &lsquo;<samp>0.3
0.4 0.5</samp>&rsquo; in its red, blue and green values. The color model used
internally in dvipng is &lsquo;<samp>RGB</samp>&rsquo; (discretized to 256 levels), for
details on the formulas used in conversion, see the &lsquo;<samp>xcolor</samp>&rsquo;
documentation.
</p>
<p>By-name color specifications are single (case-dependent) words and are
compared with color names defined in &lsquo;<samp>dvipsnam.def</samp>&rsquo; (from the
&lsquo;<samp>graphics</samp>&rsquo; bundle), &lsquo;<samp>svgnam.def</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>xcolor.sty</samp>&rsquo; (from
the &lsquo;<samp>xcolor</samp>&rsquo; bundle). See the &lsquo;<samp>xcolor</samp>&rsquo; documentation for a
list of names and the corresponding colors.
</p>
<p>On the command-line, the name &lsquo;<samp>Transparent</samp>&rsquo; can also be used as
an argument to &lsquo;<samp>--bg</samp>&rsquo; to choose transparent background.

<p>We will describe &lsquo;<samp>background</samp>&rsquo; first, since it is the simplest. The
&lsquo;<samp>background</samp>&rsquo; keyword must be followed by a color specification.
That color specification is used as a fill color for the background. The
last &lsquo;<samp>background</samp>&rsquo; special on a page is the one that gets used, and
is used for the whole of the page image. (This is possible because the
prescan phase of dvipng notices all of the color specials so that the
appropriate information can be written out during the second phase.)
</p>
<p>The &lsquo;<samp>color</samp>&rsquo; special itself has three forms. The first is just
&lsquo;<samp>color</samp>&rsquo; followed by a color specification. In this case, the
current global color is set to that color; the color stack must be empty
when such a command is executed.
</p>
<p>The second form is &lsquo;<samp>color push</samp>&rsquo; followed by a color specification.
This saves the current color on the color stack and sets the color to be
that given by the color specification.  This is the most common way to
set a color.
</p>
<p>The final form of the &lsquo;<samp>color</samp>&rsquo; special is just &lsquo;<samp>color pop</samp>&rsquo;,
with no color specification; this says to pop the color last pushed on
the color stack from the color stack and set the current color to be
that color.
</p>
<p>dvipng correctly handles these color specials across pages, even when
the pages are rendered repeatedly or in reverse order.
