#! /bin/sh # file lyxpreview2bitmap.sh # This file is part of LyX, the document processor. # Licence details can be found in the file COPYING. # # author Angus Leeming # with much advice from David Kastrup, david.kastrup@t-online.de. # # Full author contact details are available in file CREDITS # This script takes a LaTeX file and generates bitmap image files, # one per page. # The idea is to use it with preview.sty from the preview-latex project # (http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net/) to create small bitmap # previews of things like math equations. # preview.sty can be obtained from # CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/supported/preview. # This script takes three arguments: # TEXFILE: the name of the .tex file to be converted. # SCALEFACTOR: a scale factor, used to ascertain the resolution of the # generated image which is then passed to gs. # OUTPUTFORMAT: the format of the output bitmap image files. # Two formats are recognised: "ppm" and "png". # If successful, this script will leave in dir ${DIR}: # a (possibly large) number of image files with names like # ${BASE}\([0-9]*\).${SUFFIX} where SUFFIX is ppm or png. # a file containing info needed by LyX to position the images correctly # on the screen. # ${BASE}.metrics # All other files ${BASE}* will be deleted. # A quick note on the choice of OUTPUTFORMAT: # In general files in PPM format are 10-100 times larger than the # equivalent files in PNG format. Larger files results in longer # reading and writing times as well as greater disk usage. # However, whilst the Qt image loader can load files in PNG format # without difficulty, the xforms image loader cannot. They must first # be converted to a loadable format (eg PPM!). Thus, previews will take # longer to appear if the xforms loader is used to load snippets in # PNG format. # You can always experiment by adding a line to your # ${LYXUSERDIR}/preferences file # \converter lyxpreview ${FORMAT} "lyxpreview2bitmap.sh" "" # where ${FORMAT} is either ppm or png. # Three helper functions.
