#! /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 pic markup should *not* be wrapped in .EQ/.EN, this script will do that. # A -U option on the command line enables gpic/groff "unsafe" mode. # 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. Only the -U option of groff(1) is relevant. # # 3. Many options of convert(1) are potentially relevant, (especially # -density, -interlace, -transparency, -border, and -comment). # # Thus, we pass -U to groff(1), and everything else to convert(1). # # $Id: eqn2graph.sh,v 1.7 2010/02/25 20:17:13 wl Exp $ # groff_opts="" convert_opts="" format="png" while [ "$1" ] do case $1 in -unsafe) groff_opts="-U";; -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" "$TEMP" /tmp; do test -z "$d" && continue tmp=`(umask 077 && mktemp -d -q "$d/eqn2graph-XXXXXX") 2> /dev/null` \ && test -n "$tmp" && test -d "$tmp" \ && break tmp=$d/eqn2graph$$-$RANDOM (umask 077 && mkdir $tmp) 2> /dev/null && break done; if test -z "$tmp"; then echo "$0: cannot create temporary directory" >&2 { (exit 1); exit 1; } fi trap 'exit_status=$?; rm -rf $tmp && exit $exit_status' EXIT INT TERM # Here goes: # 1.
