NAME
     eqedit: command-line image generator for LaTeX

SYNOPSIS
      eqedit --help

      eqedit {options}

      echo '\LaTeX{} equations are nice' | eqedit --page-color=transparent -o nice.png; display nice.png

DESCRIPTION
     eqedit is a command-line utility to generate an image from LaTeX input.  It
     reads LaTeX input from stdin, and writes the output as a file specified
     with the --output option.	The output format can be any format ImageMagick
     supports.

     It is used by eqe, which wraps it in a GUI with drag and drop support.

OPTIONS
     All options can be abbreviated.

   HELP
     --help
	 Shows help about using eqedit.

     --version
	 Displays the current version.

   ESSENTIAL
     --output=<file> [eq.png]
	 Sets the output file. Can be of any extension that ImageMagick supports
	 (including png, jpeg, eps...).

   FORMATTING
     --magnification=<float> [3.0]
	 Sets the size of the output.

     --text-color=<black|white|red|green|blue|cyan|magenta|yellow|transparent>
     [LaTeX default]
	 Sets the color of the text. Available colors are those supported by the
	 'color' LaTeX package, plus 'transparent'.

     --page-color=<...> [LaTeX default]
	 Sets the color of the background. Available colors are those supported
	 by the 'color' LaTeX package, plus 'transparent'.

     --font=<8r|avant|bookman|chancery|charter|courier|helvet|mathpazo|mathp-
     ple|mathptm|mathptmx|newcent|palatino|pifont|times> [LaTeX default]
	 Sets the font. Available fonts are those known to the LaTeX installa-
	 tion.

     --displaymath=<0|1> [0]
	 Whether to wrap the input in a 'displaymath' LaTeX block.

   ADVANCED AND EXPERIMENTAL
     --width=<int>  [as defined after magnification]
     --height=<int> [as defined after magnification]
	 Set the dimensions of the output image. The default is to use the mag-
	 nification to compute the size of the text, and to crop all the blank
	 area around it.

     --latex-template=<file> [template.tt.tex]
	 LaTeX template to use. eqedit searches for the template (by default,
	 template.tt.tex) in $HOME/.eqe/, /usr/local/share/eqe/,
	 /usr/share/eqe/.  If it cannot be found, it uses a builtin template.
	 You may specify just a name (searched for in the search path), or an
	 absolute or relative path to the template to be used.	The template is
	 in a format described in "perldoc Template::Manual::Syntax" (ie, the
	 Template Toolkit syntax).

     --use-dvipng [off, ie use dvips]
	 Uses dvipng to convert the dvi to a png. Else, dvips is used.

     --lumitransparency (experimental)
	 Uses luminance to compute transparency (alpha). Buggy. Needs GD.

   LOGGING AND DEBUGGING
     --verbose [no]
	 Displays additional messages on stderr about what eqedit is doing.

     --log=<file> [/dev/null]
	 Specifies a file to log messages and tools output.

     --keep-temp [no]
	 Whether to keep temporary files. Together with --verbose, useful for
	 debugging.
