# This script takes a LaTeX file and generates a collection of
# png or ppm image files, one per previewed snippet.
# Pre-requisites:
# * A latex executable;
# * preview.sty;
# * dvipng;
# * 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 png 0lyxpreview.tex 128 000000 faf0e6
# This script takes five arguments:
# FORMAT: either 'png' or 'ppm'. The desired output format.
# TEXFILE: the name of the .tex file to be converted.
# DPI: a scale factor, passed to dvipng.
# FG_COLOR: the foreground color as a hexadecimal string, eg '000000'.
# BG_COLOR: the background color as a hexadecimal string, eg 'faf0e6'.
# 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.
