+

If GIF support is enabled, GIF output is chosen by using the +‘dvigif’ binary or with the ‘--gif’ option. +

+ +

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 http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/preview-latex.html. - -

Another example is WeBWorK, an internet-based method for delivering +buffer, see http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/preview-latex.html. +

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 http://www.mediawiki.org. - -

      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.

On some machines, the libraries will be installed in directories that +are not in the linker’s search path. This will generate an error when +running ./configure, indicating that it cannot find libgd or libkpathsea (most likely). You then need to specify the path to the -respective library's object files. They are typically called e.g., -libgd.a or libgd.so. If they are located in e.g., -/sw/local/lib, do - -

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's search path.

You then need to -specify the path to the respective library's C header files. If they -are located in e.g., /sw/local/include, do - -

     ./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/sw/local/include

On my SUN Solaris workstation, I had to combine this into - -

2.4 Installation outside the texmf tree

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 only $SELFAUTOLOC, $SELFAUTODIR, and $SELFAUTOPARENT are used in the texmf -tree configuration file ‘texmf.cnf’. If so, give the switch -‘--enable-selfauto-set’ to ‘./configure’. This will make +tree configuration file ‘texmf.cnf’. If so, give the switch +‘--enable-selfauto-set’ to ‘./configure’. This will make dvipng adjust these three internally so that kpathsea thinks that dvipng is installed in the texmf tree. - -

3 Basic usage of dvipng

-

-To use dvipng at its simplest, simply type + -

     dvipng foo
-
-

where foo.dvi is the output of TeX that you want to convert to -PNG format. If there are four pages in foo.dvi, those pages will -be output as foo1.png, foo2.png, foo3.png, and -foo4.png, respectively. +

To use dvipng at its simplest, simply type +

+
+
dvipng foo
+
-

If you have enabled the PostScript font support (via FreeType or T1lib), +

where foo.dvi is the output of TeX that you want to convert to +PNG format. If there are four pages in foo.dvi, those pages will +be output as foo1.png, foo2.png, foo3.png, and +foo4.png, respectively. +

+

If you have enabled the PostScript font support (via FreeType or T1lib), 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 Unable to generate fonts.) - -

Many options are available (see the next section). For a brief summary +the same fonts over and over again, something is wrong. See Unable to +generate fonts in Kpathsea.) +

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 color_spec 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., 'rgb 1.0 0.0 0.0'. Setting the +TeX color \special syntax, e.g., ’rgb 1.0 0.0 0.0’.

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 -

          font_px = font_pt * 96 / 72 [pt * px/in / (pt/in)]

+

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 ‘--norawps’. This switch turns off the +dvipng, use the switch ‘--norawps’. 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 -‘--picky’ to disable page rendering of pages with warnings, and use +‘--picky’ to disable page rendering of pages with warnings, and use the slower fallback for these pages. - -

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 ‘rgb’, +‘hsb’, ‘cmy’, ‘cmyk’, or ‘gray’) followed by the appropriate number of parameters. Thus, the color specification -‘rgb 0.3 0.4 0.5’ would correspond to the color that is ‘0.3 -0.4 0.5’ in its red, blue and green values. The color model used -internally in dvipng is ‘RGB’ (discretized to 256 levels), for -details on the formulas used in conversion, see the ‘xcolor’ +‘rgb 0.3 0.4 0.5’ would correspond to the color that is ‘0.3 +0.4 0.5’ in its red, blue and green values.

The ‘color’ special itself has three forms. The first is just +‘color’ 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. - -

The second form is ‘color push’ 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. - -

The final form of the ‘color’ special is just ‘color pop’, 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. - -
