NAME

       eqedit: command-line image generator for LaTeX


SYNOPSIS

        eqedit --help

        eqedit {options}

        echo '\LaTeX{} equations are nice' | eqedit --page-color=transparent -o nice.png; display nice.png


DESCRIPTION

       eqedit is a command-line utility to generate an image from LaTeX input.
       It reads LaTeX input from stdin, and writes the output as a file
       specified with the --output option.  The output format can be any
       format ImageMagick supports.

       It is used by eqe, which wraps it in a GUI with drag and drop support.


OPTIONS

       All options can be abbreviated.

   HELP
       --help
           Shows help about using eqedit.

       --version
           Displays the current version.

   ESSENTIAL
       --output=<file> [eq.png]
           Sets the output file. Can be of any extension that ImageMagick
           supports (including png, jpeg, eps...).

   FORMATTING
       --magnification=<float> [3.0]
           Sets the size of the output.

       --text-color=<black|white|red|green|blue|cyan|magenta|yellow|transparent>
       [LaTeX default]
           Sets the color of the text. Available colors are those supported by
           the 'color' LaTeX package, plus 'transparent'.

       --page-color=<...> [LaTeX default]
           Sets the color of the background. Available colors are those
           supported by the 'color' LaTeX package, plus 'transparent'.

       --font=<8r|avant|bookman|chancery|charter|courier|helvet|mathpazo|mathpple|mathptm|mathptmx|newcent|palatino|pifont|times>
       [LaTeX default]
           Sets the font. Available fonts are those known to the LaTeX
           installation.

       --displaymath=<0|1> [0]
           Whether to wrap the input in a 'displaymath' LaTeX block.

   ADVANCED AND EXPERIMENTAL
       --width=<int>  [as defined after magnification]
       --height=<int> [as defined after magnification]
           Set the dimensions of the output image. The default is to use the
           magnification to compute the size of the text, and to crop all the
           blank area around it.

       --latex-template=<file> [template.tt.tex]
           LaTeX template to use. eqedit searches for the template (by
           default, template.tt.tex) in $HOME/.eqe/, /usr/local/share/eqe/,
           /usr/share/eqe/.  If it cannot be found, it uses a builtin
           template.  You may specify just a name (searched for in the search
           path), or an absolute or relative path to the template to be used.
           The template is in a format described in "perldoc
           Template::Manual::Syntax" (ie, the Template Toolkit syntax).

       --use-dvipng [off, ie use dvips]
           Uses dvipng to convert the dvi to a png. Else, dvips is used.

       --lumitransparency (experimental)
           Uses luminance to compute transparency (alpha). Buggy. Needs GD.

   LOGGING AND DEBUGGING
       --verbose [no]
           Displays additional messages on stderr about what eqedit is doing.

       --log=<file> [/dev/null]
           Specifies a file to log messages and tools output.

       --keep-temp [no]
           Whether to keep temporary files. Together with --verbose, useful
           for debugging.
