It can alos be used via commandline using the options below. .SH "OPTIONS" .IP "\fB-i,\-\-input\fP\fI file\fR" 10 Specifies a file to read latex input from. .IP "\fB-l,\-\-latexinput\fP\fI expression\fR " 10 Specifies the LaTeX code of an equation to render. .IP "\fB-o,\-\-output\fP\fI file\fR " 10 Specifies to write the output image (obtained from equation given by \fB\-\-input\fP or \fB\-\-latexinput\fP) to \fIfile\fR or standard output. .IP "\fB-F,\-\-format \fP\fIformat\fR" 10 Specifies the format the output should be written in. By default, the format is guessed from file name extension and defaults to PNG. .IP "\fB-f,\-\-fgcolor \fP\fI'#xxxxxx'\fR" 10 Specifies a color (in web #RRGGBB hex format) to use for foreground color. Don't forget to escape the '#' to prevent the shell from interpreting it as a comment. .IP "\fB-b,\-\-bgcolor \fP\fI'#xxxxxx'\fR" 10 Specifies a color (in web #RRGGBB hex format, or '\-' for transparent) to use as background color (defaults to transparent). .IP "\fB-X,\-\-dpi \fP\fIN\fR" 10 Use N dots per inch (DPI) when converting latex output to image. Defaults to 1200 (high-resolution image). .IP "\fB-m,\-\-mathmode \fP\fI expression containing '...'\fR" 10 Specifies which LaTeX math mode to use, if any. The termument to this option is any string containing "...", which will be replaced by the equation itself. Defaults to "\\[ ... \\]" .IP "\fB-p,\-\-preamble \fP\fILaTeX code\fR" 10 Any LaTeX code that will be inserted before \\begin{document}. Useful for including custom packages with \\usepackage{...}. .IP "\fB-q,\-\-quiet \fP" 10 Disable console output of warnings and errors. .IP "\fB\-\-lborderoffset \fP\fIN\fR,\fB\-\-tborderoffset \fP\fIN\fR,\fB\-\-rborderoffset \fP\fIN\fR,\fB\-\-bborderoffset \fP\fIN\fR" 10 Include a mtermin of N postscript points on left, top, right, or bottom mtermin respectively. .IP "\fB\-\-tempdir \fP\fI/path/to/temp/dir\fR" 10 Specify the directory in which KLatexFormula will write temporary files. Defaults to a system-specific temporary directory like "/tmp/". .IP "\fB\-\-latex \fP\fIlatex executable\fR" 10 .IP "\fB\-\-dvips \fP\fIdvips executable\fR" 10 .IP "\fB\-\-gs \fP\fIgs executable\fR" 10 .IP "\fB\-\-epstopdf \fP\fIepstopdf executable\fR" 10 Specifiy the executable for latex, dvips, gs or epstopdf. By default, they are searched for in $PATH and/or in common system directories. .IP "\fB-h,\-\-help \fP " 10 Display this help text and exit. .IP "\fB-V,\-\-version \fP" 10 Display KLatexFormula version information and exit. .IP "\fB-Q,\-\-qtoption \fP\fIqt-option\fR" 10 Specify a Qt-Specific option. For example, to launch KLatexFormula in Plastique GUI style, use: klatexformula \-\-qtoption='\-style=Plastique' Note that if qt-option begins with a '\-', then it must be appended to the long '\-\-qtoption=' syntax with the equal sign. .SH "SEE ALSO" .PP latex (1), ghostview (1), http://klatexformula.sourceforge.net/ .SH "AUTHOR" .PP This manual page was written by Tobias Winchen tobias.winchen@physik.rwth-aachen.de for the \fBDebian\fP system (and may be used by others) based on the upstream documentation by Phillipe Faist.
