#! /bin/sh # # eqn2graph -- compile EQN equation descriptions to bitmap images # # by Eric S. Raymond , July 2002 # # In Unixland, the magic is in knowing what to string together... # # Take an eqn equation on stdin, emit cropped bitmap on stdout. # The eqn markup should *not* be wrapped in .EQ/.EN, this script will do that. # A -format FOO option changes the image output format to any format # supported by convert(1). All other options are passed to convert(1). # The default format is PNG. # # This is separate from pic2graph because pic processing has some weird # clipping effect on the output, mangling equations that are very wide # or deep. Besides, this tool can supply its own delimiters. # # Requires the groff suite and the ImageMagick tools. Both are open source. # This code is released to the public domain. # # Here are the assumptions behind the option processing: # # 1. None of the options of eqn(1) are relevant. # # 2. Many options of convert(1) are potentially relevant, (especially # -density, -interlace, -transparency, -border, and -comment). # # Thus, we pass everything except -format to convert(1). # convert_opts="" convert_trim_arg="-trim" format="png" while [ "$1" ] do case $1 in -format) format=$2 shift;; -v | --version) echo "GNU eqn2graph (groff) version @VERSION@" exit 0;; --help) echo "usage: eqn2graph [ option ...] < in > out" exit 0;; *) convert_opts="$convert_opts $1";; esac shift done # create temporary directory tmp= for d in "$GROFF_TMPDIR" "$TMPDIR" "$TMP" "$TEMP" /tmp do test -n "$d" && break done if ! test -d "$d" then echo "$0: error: temporary directory \"$d\" does not exist or is" \ "not a directory" >&2 exit 1 fi if ! tmp=`(umask 077 && mktemp -d -q "$d/eqn2graph-XXXXXX") 2> /dev/null` then # mktemp failed--not installed or is a version that doesn't support those # flags?
