shortdesc A fast DVI to PNG converter.
longdesc This program makes PNG graphics from DVI files as obtained from
longdesc TeX and its relatives. Its benefits include its speed (it is the
longdesc fastest bitmap-rendering code for DVI files known to the author.
longdesc On a fairly low-end laptop, it takes less than a second to
longdesc generate 150 one-formula images), it does not read the postamble
longdesc (so it can be started before TeX finishes and there is a -follow
longdesc switch that makes dvipng wait at EOF for further output, unless it
longdesc finds the POST marker that indicates the end of the DVI), and it
longdesc supports PK, VF and Type1 fonts, color specials, simple PostScript
longdesc inclusion and more.  The motivation for this project is preview-
longdesc latex, a previewing tool for LaTeX in emacs, but since dvipng can
longdesc be independently useful, a separate package is provided.
