# This script takes a LaTeX file and generates a collection of
# png or ppm image files, one per previewed snippet.
# Pre-requisites:
# * python 2.4 or later (subprocess module);
# * A latex executable;
# * preview.sty;
# * dvipng;
# * dv2dt;
# * pngtoppm (if outputing ppm format images).
# preview.sty and dvipng are part of the preview-latex project
# http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net/
# preview.sty can alternatively be obtained from
# CTAN/support/preview-latex/
# Example usage:
# lyxpreview2bitmap.py --bg=faf0e6 0lyxpreview.tex
# This script takes one obligatory argument:
#
# : The name of the .tex file to be converted.
#
# and these optional arguments:
#
# --png, --ppm: The desired output format. Either 'png' or 'ppm'.
# --dpi=: A scale factor, used to ascertain the resolution of the
# generated image which is then passed to gs.
# --fg=: The foreground color as a hexadecimal string, eg '000000'.
# --bg=: The background color as a hexadecimal string, eg 'faf0e6'.
# --latex=: The converter for latex files. Default is latex.
# --bibtex=: The converter for bibtex files. Default is bibtex.
# --lilypond: Preprocess through lilypond-book. Default is false.
# --lilypond-book=:
# The converter for lytex files. Default is lilypond-book.
#
# -d, --debug Show the output from external commands.
# -h, --help Show an help screen and exit.
# -v, --verbose Show progress messages.
# Decomposing TEXFILE's name as DIR/BASE.tex, this script will,
# if executed successfully, leave in DIR:
# * a (possibly large) number of image files with names
# like BASE[0-9]+.png
# * a file BASE.metrics, containing info needed by LyX to position
# the images correctly on the screen.
# What does this script do?
# 1) Call latex/pdflatex/xelatex/whatever (CONVERTER parameter)
# 2) If the output is a PDF fallback to legacy
# 3) Otherwise check each page of the DVI (with dv2dt) looking for
# PostScript literals, not well supported by dvipng. Pages
# containing them are passed to the legacy method in a new LaTeX file.
# 4) Call dvipng on the pages without PS literals
# 5) Join metrics info coming from both methods (legacy and dvipng)
# and write them to file
# dvipng is fast but gives problem in several cases, like with
# PSTricks, TikZ and other packages using PostScript literals
# for all these cases the legacy route is taken (step 3).
# Moreover dvipng can't work with PDF files, so, if the CONVERTER
# paramter is pdflatex we have to fallback to legacy route (step 2).
