ltximg: LaTeX environments to image and standalone files

NAME

ltximg - LaTeX environments to image and standalone files

SYNOPSIS

ltximg [<options>] [--] <filename>.<tex|ltx>

DESCRIPTION

ltximg automates the process of extracting and converting environments from LaTeX file to image formats and standalone files using ghostscript and poppler-utils. Generates a one file with only extracted environments and other with all extracted environments converted to "\includegraphics".

By default the extracted environments are:

preview pspicture tikzpicture pgfpicture psgraph postscript PSTexample

OPTIONS

Options that accept a value require either a blank space or "=" between the option and the value. Multiple short options can be bundling and if the last option takes a comma separated list you need "--" at the end. Relative or absolute paths for directories and files is not supported.

If used without [<options>] the extracted environments are converted to pdf image format and saved in "./images" directory using "pdflatex" and preview package for process.

-g, --gray

EXAMPLE

ltximg --latex -e -p --subenv -o test-out.ltx test-in.ltx

Create a "./images" directory (if it doesn't exist) with all extracted environments converted to ".pdf", ".eps", ".png" and standalone files, a file test-in-fig-all.ltx with all extracted environments and the file test-out.ltx with all environments converted to "\includegraphics" using "latex>dvips>ps2pdf" and preview package for test-in.ltx and "pdflatex" for test-out.ltx.
