Help/TexToPngPlugin

Converts TeX to an image. May be used to embed formulas in PhpWiki.

Usage

<<TexToPng arguments>>

Argument	Description	Default value
tex	TeX Commands (default: text mode), use $...$ for inline math formula style and $$...$$ for large formula style
magstep	magnify image by (1.2 to the magstep)
img	Image type (png, jpeg or gif), if chosen image type is not available use the first possible from png, gif, jpeg (in that order)	png
subslash	on or off: substitute slashes by backslashes (to avoid the backslash bug of the database pear interface)	off
antialias	on or off: render ps to img with antialias option. This produces higher quality output but is slower and needs more disk space.
transparent	on or off: produce transparent background instead of white background. Seems to be buggy (in pstoimg - not my fault)
center	on or off	off

This produces a little help screen:

<<TexToPng>>

A simple formula:

<<TexToPng tex="$x^2$" >>

A more complex formula:

<<TexToPng tex="$$/int^/infty_{-/infty} dx {1 /over /sqrt {x^2+1}}$$" subslash="on" >>

$/int^/infty_{-/infty} dx {1 /over /sqrt {x^2+1}}$
