mneri / pnglatex Goto Github PK

Hello, I'm trying the new cliptex version that seems improved 😃 , but I'm not able to make it work, I always get the notification "Could not generate the image...". I'm not sure to what is due, but I had to use the original cliptex version.

It would be nice if I could copy the generated png to the clipboard instead of saving it, so I wouldn't have to rm the pngs. I have done this using xclip in my own fork, but I'm not sure if/how you want to implement it.

Using the command

pnglatex -f "e^{\i\pi}+1=0"

You can see that the dot over the i is cut. This does not affect the regular i. This affects other resolutions. It is also the case when margin and padding is applied.

Here some examples with the commands:

Not affected

pnglatex -f "e^{i\pi}+1=0"

pnglatex -f "e^{i\pi}+1=0" -d 600

Affected (using \i)

pnglatex -f "e^{\i\pi}+1=0" -d 600

pnglatex -f "e^{\i\pi}+1=0" -d 600 -P 3

pnglatex -f "e^{\i\pi}+1=0" -d 600 -m 3

Currently it is possible to load a list of LaTeX packages.

It would be better, IMHO, to allow the user to input a bunch of commands he may always use in his project.

I know that it is possible to create a custom LaTeX package, but this seems rather hard to do for a user who just wants to define 3 or 4 functions he uses really often.

For example, header.texpart could contain

\usepackage{somelatexpackage}
\newcommand{\mycmd}[1]{\somelatexcommand{#1}}

and some H flag could allow the user to specify which file to use:

pnglatex -H header.texpart -f "x + \mycmd y"

pnglatex -l log -o test.png -s 10 -d 200 -f 'a + b'

cat log

\documentclass[10pt]{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ a b $\end{document}
...

The + file is missing from the output latex code and thus also from the image.
