Overview

latex2png -- Convert a LaTeX file to a PNG image

Overview

The latex2png command converts a LaTeX file into a PNG image. The first page is translated into an image at the specified resolution. latex2png can also be used to convert encapsulated postscript (EPS) files to PNG images.

Options

-c produce color image

-d density: density is the number of dots per inch to use in the created image (default 144 dpi)

-g produce gray images

-h help

-H home_dir: home_dir is a directory to be included in search path (default is directory that contains the LaTeX file). This is used to create PNG images in another directory (e.g., /tmp) and still allow LaTeX to find files that it needs to include.

-k keep intermediate files (for debugging)

-m produce monochrome (black and white) image: (default)

-v version
