Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com>, 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?
